Chapter 66: Retreat

【Recruitment】The three major departments of the large-scale platform for novel classification recruit new people,

========================================================

Drought is abundant. After all, the metropolis of Yejia is the capital of a country, with prosperous trade and wine shops, and at night, except for the dark slum streets, close to the streets of the inner city, where the royal power is located, the buildings are full of lights, balls, lively drinking parties, and the bustle of spending all day and wine, which can only stop until almost midnight.

But today's royal city does not seem to be as prosperous as it used to be, and it seems a little deserted. In the water tea house on Fifty Tea Street, the owner of the house added another handful of firewood to warm up the cold tea and wine, but no matter how much he looked forward to it, he couldn't look forward to the ministers of the kingdom who would come to the door on time to drink a few pots of tea and wine at this time in the past.

At this time, the royal capital was somewhat different from the hustle and bustle of the past, and even the Qinglou next door had stopped singing and dancing early, and the endless scenes of cars and horses from various official families in the past were suddenly cold.

And at this moment, in the minister's mansion, the door of the usually tall and incomparably majestic mansion was opened and closed again. The messenger came, mounted his armored steed, and hurried towards the next gate, which was a sufficiently important position above the imperial court. In the empty streets, only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard, and the sound of heavy trampling on the stone and brick roads was so clear that it could pinch the heartbeat.

The Minister's wife has some night terrors, since the Minister of the Interior has been promoted to this position, although her status has risen in recent years, she is still somewhat worried about the status of her master. Now that the war in the kingdom is still going on, and the internal affairs of the court are even more heavy, it is easy to make mistakes during this period, so what she is most afraid of at night is to hear the sound of the door of the palace being knocked. That's always scary. So when she heard the sound of the door opening and closing, she put on a piece of clothing and went out, and saw that the Minister of the Interior had just received the letter in the company of the official's family.

I didn't see the commander from the royal court, so I was somewhat relieved. She complained with some complaints, "Why don't you sleep at night, if you have to go to the Taizheng Hall tomorrow, even if it is an important letterhead, can it be compared to the mountains of cases in the Taizheng Hall? Can it be compared to the important body of the master? Do you have to deal with it here and now? It's those things in the eight counties, it's better to let them wait!"

But then she realized that something was wrong. The Minister of the Interior, who has always been a little afraid of the interior, will have the comfort of waking himself up when he hears his complaints. But at this time, he seemed to turn a deaf ear. Just looked down at the spread out axis. His expression became heavier and heavier along with the official family on the side.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Do you know all those rumors that happened at Mt. Shinto yesterday......

The minister's wife is also the minister's wife who plays an important role in the royal capital, and in the circle of the princes and ladies of Kashima, some things are even spread more quickly. So she nodded, "The lord is anxious about that incident again." I don't want to think about it, I, the Son of Heaven of the Kashima Country, Shengming, the military majesty and mighty Shendao Mountain, is among the top ten sects in the continent, and it is a supreme existence. It is said that with one finger of Lord Lei Zhai, he can make a thousand soldiers retreat. With such supernatural abilities, what other foreign cultivators would dare to make trouble in the Shinto Mountain? Over the years, this rumor has become more and more powerful. This matter was disdained as a joke in the market. Why did the old man still believe it. ”

The Minister of the Interior smiled bitterly and handed over the letter scroll in his hand, "It's not that I believe that the Ministry of Military Aircraft sent the secret letter urgently, and the battle that took place at Shinto Mountain yesterday is above. It has been confirmed with certainty...... I, the Shinto Zhai Lord Lei Donglai, is indeed defeated! The third prince Li Qiucheng died in battle, "From now on, all the ministers of the Taizheng Officials, Nayan." You must immediately enter the royal court to ensure that all changes in the future are controlled at all times......"

Although the battle of Mt. Shinto was strictly required for everyone present to keep it a secret. The people of Kashima are forbidden to know all of this.

But there are still all kinds of secret channels that reach the ears of the high-ranking ministers, bureaucrats and nobles of the kingdom at lightning speed. It was like a storm, like a hurricane rolling up at night, and it quickly hit the mansions of those high-ranking mansions. One sensational news after another, exploded in those courtyards0

The Minister of Internal Affairs, who was stationed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the important ministers of the Imperial Minister, released news one after another, although Kashima Province was calm on the surface. But in the shadows there were already countless fast horses, with edicts from the royal court, galloping on the roads to various places. Stormy winds, windswept clouds.

Governor Yin of Kashima Kyoto Prefecture stood in place, receiving the supreme order that Lei Donglai was defeated and cooperated with the military department to strengthen the defense of the royal capital. Wang Dufu Yin felt that his feet were trembling. ...,

Daisuke of the military department drove out of his home overnight, and after receiving the order, he quickly rushed to the three military headquarters camps on the outskirts of the royal capital to stabilize the military spirit that might tremble next.

The entire Kashima country seems to have been mobilized in the shadows, and has launched its last defensive posture. to meet the big shock that may come.

And all of this originated from the battle on Mount Shinto.

At this time, in the royal court of Kashima, the mouth is under the starry night. Kashima, a middle-aged man with slender eyes and no emotion, is standing in the middle of a gorgeous courtyard at night with a tall gold-threaded gauze hat. Next to him was none other than the owner of Shinto Mountain, Lei Donglai, the most powerful and invincible representative figure in the cultivation world of Kashima Country

"I heard that Li Qiucheng was killed in battle yesterday. The middle-aged man looked at Lei Donglai and said in a unique feminine and mellow voice.

"The third prince was indeed abolished and his eyes were blind. He was already weak, and when he completely became an ordinary person who could not cultivate, the blow was a hundred times and ten times more painful than his physical body. He is my apprentice, I raised him all his life, I know better than anyone else that his mouth is in order not to make him more painful, so I personally broke his heavenly spirit and broke his heart The middle-aged man glanced at him, nodded, and the golden yarn hat representing the supreme status hung down silently, and stood up again, "Li Qiucheng entered your Shinto Zhai at the age of four." The method of single-minded pursuit of spiritual progress is the future prince of Kashima 0 His death, you should be more saddened than this king. I originally thought I would see you, Lord Lei Zhai, desperate for revenge. But that doesn't seem to be the case. ”

One is Kashima Country, and the other is Kashima Cultivation Leader. One is Li Qiucheng's biological father, Wang. One is that Li Qiucheng taught himself the way of cultivation, and he is as close as a father and son. But the two discussed Li Qiucheng's life and death at this time, as calm as tea on the discussion table, without joy and sorrow.

"The third prince is extremely talented. If only he had been given another five years. I believe that among the best young people in this continent, he will definitely become the bearer of the bull's ear, and he will still be dead after all if he tramples everyone else under his feet. No matter how much I grieve for the loss of an excellent heir in the future of Shinto Sai, I regret the loss of an excellent king in Kashima Country. It still can't change the fact that he lost his life. The facts cannot be changed. And his death did not help the situation at that time, so grief and this unnecessary emotion did not need to exist. ”

Since dying, dwelling, and immersing oneself in this cannot solve the current situation, the crisis of Shinto Zhai, or the crisis of Kashima Province, then grief is completely unnecessary. Since it is unnecessary, there is no need to grieve over it.

This cannot be said to be selfish. When faced with a real crisis.

Even if it is the relationship between father and son, even if it is the emotion of master and apprentice. In front of heroes like Lei Donglai and Shengde Tianzi, they can also be temporarily discarded.

But Lei Donglai's voice was still terrifying, "Blood debts can only be repaid with blood." ”

"This is an inevitable thing," the Son of Virtue nodded, "Is the opponent's strength really to the point of being like this? If I don't retreat, they will really be able to put the knife on my neck?" You once said that you didn't do your best in the battle of Shinto Mountain, according to you, even if you use all your hole cards, can you intercept and kill the opponent here in this Kashima Royal Court?"

Lei Donglai fell silent.

After a long time, he said, "It's a very risky thing to do...... And the bet is on the fortune of my Kashima country. I couldn't have taken such a risk. Because I still don't know, that woman ...... In the end, there are no hole cards. Behind her, what does it represent? ”

The Son of Sainthood sighed, "The other party has forced you to such a point. It seems that this day is not on the side of my Kashima country......"

After a pause, he continued, "I knew it was so. Three years ago, why bother. If you provoke this, Yang Ze had known that things would have progressed to such a point, and at that time, you shouldn't have made a situation where I Kashima and your Shinto Zhai couldn't end up in order to fulfill the promise of that holy envoy Kamu......

Lei Donglai bowed his head and was silent.

King Kashima Shotoku took his hand, turned around and said leisurely, "Even if there is no incident on Shinto Mountain. We, Kashima Country, have also come to the final choice of withdrawing our troops. Compared to the heartache that Yang Ze snatched six eight-foot Qiong Tianyu, I was more anxious about the mouth of the army on the front line in the Eight Great Counties. This war has consumed a lot of resources from my Kashima country, and if we can't break through the defense line of Jiancheng, it won't be long before we retreat without a fight. After this war, the royal court is already very weak, and if the royal court is weak, then no one in the eight major counties can say whether they will take advantage of this to grow stronger and continue to weaken the royal power. So we can't afford it anymore, and at such a juncture, if you Shinto Zhai is dealt a fatal blow again, then the world of this Kashima country is likely to change hands...... In this case, long pain is better than short pain...... Then let's retreat!"..., as he said the Son of Virtue, he shook his head and smiled, his eyes narrowed, "It's just that this is a huge great gong that Yang Ze gave for nothing, and the other party made such a fuss and threatened to leave successfully." Although information can be strictly blocked externally. But what a humiliation it was to say to the royal court of Kashima......"

"It's just a matter of necessity. The Holy One doesn't have to care. A gentleman still has a straight and right, let alone a wise saint. ”

Lei Donglaisen's cold voice sounded in his ears again, "The merit is great." If the news of Yang Ze's ability to challenge my Shinto Zhai is transmitted back to China, then he will become a pivotal figure in the Daye cultivation world. And once placed in such a high position, the consequences are often terrible. The bird is hidden in the bow, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking, such a problem, why bother with the saint, it is better to give Yang Ze this "big gift" and leave the rest of the matter to them to worry about Da Yeguo......

"As for the woman. She must have made a name for herself in my Shinto Zhai. And the Orthodox Church, which despises Da Ye like a needle, will of course regard her as a threat and an enemy to those holy places on the Dongtu Continent, and will inevitably be vigilant to investigate her and the forces behind her. I only need to evaluate the information about Yang Ze and this woman, and tell the Orthodox Church who led the war to know everything. Soon Yang Ze and the mysterious woman will know what kind of opponents and challenges they are facing...... It was probably a great master from the Orthodox Church. There are also those strong people who are eyeing the major sects. ”

Lei Donglai's eyes swept with deep hatred, and I can't wait to see the scene when they become the target of everyone. ”

There's another chapter that I'll continue to write about. I kneel for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket, a click, and collect it for a grilled fish!

The general trend of fantasy, the wind and rain are drifting, I am not afraid, why not?
