"Holy Dao Sword. ”

Shen Zheng knew that what the emperor really cared about was not this sword, but he didn't dare to slack off, in the face of a truly powerful force, a moment of laxity would ruin everything.

The emperor stretched out his hand, and Shen Zheng presented the scroll at the right time.

Yuan Huang picked up the scroll, opened it, and put it in front of his eyes.

During the whole process, the three people in the room quietly seemed to leave this world.

Then the emperor showed a silent smile.

"Tomorrow, the ninth brother will lead a large army to the battle, you choose a few loyal and reliable among the Confucian disciples, and follow along. ”

Shen Zheng lowered his head deeply, so that the emperor would not see the smile on his face: "The minister obeys." ”

He turned around and left the room, and behind Shen Zheng, Wugudu also walked out on his own.

Now the emperor was the only one left in the room.

Yuan Huang looked at the open scroll, which did not move for a long time, like a sculpture.

There were only five words on it: "The legend is located in the fourth son." ”

......

The day has come for the great army to go out.

Before dawn, the hundred officials gathered in the city, as in the days of the previous court meetings, and followed the emperor out of the north gate, and when they arrived at their destination, it was already dawn.

The Nine Emperor Princes and the Great Army ready to go on an expedition were already waiting there.

This is a flat meadow located on the east side of a hill, which is the station and pasture of tens of thousands of demon troops in the capital.

The Emperor ascended to a high platform built on the top of the hill and sat under a huge yellow canopy, with the Ugudu and the Tsahan standing behind him, and the other ministers standing under the platform.

Nothing is visible here.

The guards who followed the emperor scattered in all directions, holding a guard of honor standing behind the emperor on the stage, and the others lined up in all directions.

Then the emperor waved his hand.

The sound of the trumpet sounded, like a huge beast howling in a distant place, and the dull sound echoed in the four fields.

Then something happened.

It seemed to be very far away, and the courtiers standing on the hill did not hear or see anything, but there was something intangible that permeated the air, undoubtedly conveying the message that something was happening.

The earth is trembling.

It came from far away, slowly approaching.

There was a sound of clothes rubbing against each other in the crowd, like ripples on the water as the wind blew across the pond.

Then Shen Zheng saw a fog on the distant horizon.

That's kind of an anomaly.

After a long struggle, the sun was finally about to rise, a dull orange-red struggling through the misty fog on the horizon, and then obscured again.

On the eastern horizon, smoke and dust rose into the sky, obscuring the rising sun.

Soon, everyone noticed the unusual sight, and there was a cacophony of noise in the crowd.

Then everything was calm again.

It's hard to say what the crowd saw.

A murky tide came from where heaven and earth met, and gray smoke billowed and floated high, covering everything below.

A loud sound came from the sky, and it was like ten thousand drums being beaten, or rather, the earth itself was beaten like a drum, as evidenced by the tremors.

Then the sun rose.

A gale of wind came out of nowhere, and the smoke dissipated.

An army appeared before people's eyes.

It was an endless sea of people, with flags fluttering on it, and armor reflecting the sudden sunlight like ocean waves.

An exclamation erupted from the hills.

That's the army that's going to go out.

The tremor of the earth and the roar of thunder approached at an astonishing speed, and it was the cavalry of the demons, who were rushing towards the hills, their flags fluttering, boundless.

The handsome flags of the Nine Emperor Princes fluttered high, and behind him, under each fluttering flag, there was a team of ten, connected to each other, like an ocean.

Finally, the ocean reached the foot of the hill.

The crowd occupied the entire field, and even from high places, all you could see was flags fluttering in the wind and dim lances of horses.

Then the world fell silent.

The horses stretched their necks anxiously and shook their heads up and down, the knights on the horses stretched out their hands to soothe their mounts, and the wind blew the flags with the gentle curling of cloth.

But in the ears of all, the world was still silent, and the silence was terrifying.

That's the demons, that's the tide of calamity, the lord of the world.

This is power, it is the cornerstone of the throne, it is where the power lies.

The Emperor stood up.

The knights on the horses raised their banners and spears and shouted, "Hooray!

The sound was like a sea of thunder, a thunderbolt, echoing between heaven and earth, the wind and clouds retreated, and the sky was clear.

Yuan Huang stood on the high platform and looked at the four directions, between heaven and earth, there were only tigers and wolves, and the four seas were in the palm of his hand, at this moment, the emperor was satisfied.

......

Bai Gongzi stood on the deck of the boat, looking at the craftsmen who were packing up the chains on the shore not far away.

There used to be more than one iron cable in the canal, but now, there is not one left. Instead of wasting this staggering weight of cast iron, the craftsmen who put away the chains set up furnaces on the shore to smelt the ropes into ingots.

Going south along the canal, Bai Gongzi saw more than this change, all the places were filled with an atmosphere where something big was going to happen, and everyone was anxious to do something.

It seems that it is precisely because of this that the leader of the Cao Gang is late, and half a day has passed since Bai Gongzi gave him, and he has not yet appeared.

The boat shook suddenly.

Bai Gongzi didn't look back, but she knew that it was the boatman's absent-mindedness.

Then not far away, a small boat appeared.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the ship was in front of Bai Gongzi, and there was a strong man standing at the bow of the boat, it was Liu Dalong.

"Childe. ”

"Hmm. ”

Bai Gongzi squeezed out of his nose coldly, jumped into Liu Dalong's boat, and behind her, the boatman took a few copper coins and left with the boat.

"The Confucian people are crazy. ”

"There is something going on in the north, and the emperor asked Confucianism to protect Caoyun, and they still dare to act rashly?"

"A few days ago, Xilin Gu Yuan, one of the three sages, went north to Beijing, and almost at the same time, a saying began to circulate in Jiangnan......" Liu Dalong sighed, "The emperor handed over Jiangnan to Confucianism and the gentry, and the relocation of the forbidden sea could not help but have a propertied home, and waste farming for pasture and not waste continuous fields." ”

"What does that have to do with you?"

"There are many people in the south of the Yangtze River who have sold their fields and fled north, and some even gather to wait by the canal, some want to take a boat to the north, and some even want to loot the grain. ”

There is one more thing in Liu Dalong's heart that has not been said, that is, the cao workers on the canal are panicked and turbulent, but when Bai Gongzi listens to it, most of them will reprimand him for not being strict and lacking ability.

"So up and down the Cao Gang, everyone is in danger, and you don't even dare to leave for a moment?"
