Volume 14 Chapter 3 Mountains and rivers change color

After returning from the Netherworld, Wu Xie talked to Ouyang Yun for a while, and then put aside the matter of welcoming relatives for the time being, and decided to continue to cultivate, and strive to achieve early success.

As long as he can make nine turns, no one in the world will be able to stop him, and even if he wants to fight outside the sky to rob his relatives, it will definitely not be wishful thinking

But he was about to retreat, but he felt a call from the world, which was the letter incense he had left to the Wu family in Zhaoyang County, telling them that they could only light it when the family was in a catastrophe. The incense is lit, and if you don't get a response from him within a moment, you will notify the entire Qingyang Temple in his name, and ask the same door to take care of it.

Wu Xie didn't dare to slack off, his figure flashed, turned into a flash of fire and rushed to the sky, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers in a moment, and rushed back to Zhifeizhai in Wuhou Mansion.

As soon as he landed, he saw that the house was full of sorrow, and his heart suddenly chuckled, and an ominous premonition arose.

"Not really...... Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao are here, even if there is a big matter, they are in charge......" Wu Xie muttered, shrunk into inches under his feet, and came to the hall of Wuhou Mansion in two or three steps.

In the hall, more than ten Wu family members are all wearing mourning clothes, and under the leadership of a dying old man, they are offering incense to Wu Xie before the portrait

Wu Jie's eyes flashed, and he looked at the old man carefully, and he felt a little familiar.

Although this old man is old, he is almost insincere, but the skeleton is quite large and sturdy, and the posture of standing under his feet can tell that he has practiced martial arts for many years, and there is a momentum of tiger death, which is by no means an ordinary character

What's more, he is actually qualified to stand in front of all the Wu family, even if the contemporary Wu Hou is not there, this identity is really extraordinary

His figure flashed, and he had already come to the front of the old man, and reached out to help him up.

"Old man, get up quickly" Wu Jie's voice stopped abruptly when he saw the other party's face clearly, his eyes widened, and his body trembled slightly.

At the moment, he couldn't believe his eyes

Although this person is extremely old, the bearing and appearance between his eyebrows, the wisp of awe-inspiring righteousness, the familiar expression and the little true qi left in the body......

"Ah Feng? How did you become like this, your cultivation...... Who did it" An irrepressible roar came out of Wu Jie's mouth, and in an instant, his anger condensed into a huge fire cloud in the sky, enough to cover the entire Anfeng County.

This old man, who seemed to be about to die at any time, turned out to be Qiao Feng, Wu Jie's eldest disciple

When Qiao Feng saw Wu Xie appear, a smile appeared on his old face, and he sighed deeply.

"The disciple is incompetent and failed to protect the Wu family for the master"

"Now is not the time to talk about such a thing" Wu Xie interrupted him, and without hesitation, he continuously transformed the true yuan of the surname and fate into true qi and transmitted it to him, and even used the magic power of Ning Yuan Zhenren, to forcibly restore his cultivation with the ability to exhaust the worldly law.

He cast spells in one breath for half an hour, and the output of the true yuan was almost worth all the accumulation in the early stage of ordinary condensation. However, Qiao Feng's body and inner dantian qi sea could not hold any true qi at all, no matter how much it was entered, it would be scattered into the limbs and hundreds of bones in a short period of time, and there would be no trickle left.

Wu Jie's only achievement was to rely on his own cultivation to forcibly restore Qiao Feng, who had aged to the point of dying, to the appearance of an ordinary old man

That's the limit, there's no way he can do more.

Qiao Feng's body had aged to the extreme, and unless he recovered his cultivation, no matter how great his supernatural power was, he would not be able to increase his longevity.

But this is already very good for Qiao Feng, when he turned around, everyone in the Wu family watched him change from aging to death to ordinary white hair in just half an hour, and they were immediately full of confidence in Wu Jie.

Although Ji Shihou's prestige is well known, the last time Wu Xie made a move in Zhaoyang County was decades ago, and these juniors almost never had the opportunity to see his magical powers.

In their impressions, the two ancestors, Qiao and Lin, were already the most powerful people in the world. Even if it is the ancestor of Jishihou, he is not necessarily stronger than these two. Now that these two can't control the scene, even if the ancestor rushes back, what can he do?

But it turned out that they really underestimated the divine power of the ancestors

A moment later, Wu Xie explained the predicament faced by the Wu family in Qiao Feng's narration and everyone's gossip.

Last year, the Third Chu-Han War broke out. The king of Chu had already been mentally prepared for this, and issued a holy decree in advance, strictly ordering the Du and Wu families to hold Dongshan County and Zhaoyang County respectively and not leave, and then led the forbidden army loyal to the royal family to meet the Han army.

That battle was fought very fiercely, and even though the Chu people broke out with incomparable combat effectiveness under the personal conquest of the Son of Heaven, they were defeated after all.

20,000 forbidden troops, how can they beat 100,000 Han elite soldiers

Almost all of the forbidden troops of Chu were killed from the Son of Heaven down, and even those who were injured and unconscious chose to die after waking up. In accordance with the edict left by the king of Chu, the ministers surrendered Kaicheng under the leadership of the elders of the clan.

The Han army entered Changning City in a mighty way, although it also encountered some sporadic resistance and twists and turns, but in the end it successfully occupied the entire national capital and lowered the banner of the Great Chu of the Imperial Palace.

Until this moment, the Great Chu State, which lasted for nearly four hundred years, finally perished.

The king of Chu had already made arrangements, some of the princes went to Dongshan County, some went to Zhaoyang County, and His Royal Highness Tai Yizi took a large number of people to the southern border. Once the news of the defeat of the forbidden army came, they followed the previous preparations, or defected to the Du family, or defected to the Wu family, and His Royal Highness Tai Pizi took a large number of people to take refuge in the Yue Kingdom, which had already been discussed with the King of Chu and prepared.

When the Han army occupied Changning City, they counted the treasury, but found that the huge Chu State, the treasury was so empty that it could almost starve rats to death, and the traces of transportation were clearly visible, apparently it had just been emptied.

Zhong Zhushi, the commander-in-chief of the Han army, was furious and ordered an investigation, and found that it was a group of corrupt officials who took advantage of the most embarrassing moment to make this big purchase and sale.

These corrupt officials have deep backgrounds, have strong connections in the state of Chu, and their social relations with each other are intertwined, even when the king of Chu was alive, they couldn't be moved. But Zhong Zhushi didn't care, he only knew that Lu Dao had even killed the 20,000 forbidden troops of the Chu State and several innate masters by himself, and what was the point of a group of corrupt officials

At first, it was just to track down those officials involved in the matter, and then Zhong Zhushi pondered that killing one is also killing, and killing a group is also killing, and the surname Suo killed all the corrupt officials who were found in the investigation to be quite angry and wealthy

Before and after, he exterminated more than 20 families and cut off more than 600 heads that were arrogant not long ago.

Through these two months of search, Zhong Zhushi got a huge wealth that made him dumbfounded, he couldn't believe his eyes, although he was not greedy for money, but he was not a person who was ignorant of the world, he knew the importance of this money, and hurriedly led the elite in person, transported this incredible huge wealth back to the Han Kingdom, and handed it over with his own hands.

Carefully calculated, the wealth obtained by the Great Han Kingdom this time is impressively equivalent to at least fifty years of national income. Even the treasury of Chang'an City was overflowing, and there was so much gold and silver that it could not be piled up

"The dignified Chu country was hollowed out by this group of moths" The emperor of the Han Dynasty sighed, ordered the entire Eastern Chu region to be exempted from taxes for ten years, and sent a consolation envoy to various places to scatter money to buy people's hearts.

It has to be said that this technique is very effective. The people of the Great Chu State have long been resentful of those corrupt officials for many years, General Zhong quickly cut through the mess and beheaded all these goods that the people were very angry about, which was really happy, and the money and food distributed by the consolation envoys who came later made them feel the warmth from the bottom of their hearts, although most of this money was actually scavenged from them, but the people were originally very easy to satisfy.

As a result, the originally floating people's hearts quickly settled down. With the arrival of officials sent by the Han Dynasty, who were at least sure to be honest if they could not do it, production quickly resumed in various places, and the common people finally accepted the new state.

This situation is really a bit unexpected by the Zhaoyang and Dongshan armies, although they originally intended that the capital of Chu had fallen, but hundreds of years of operation, after all, it was still very basic in the people, the Han army could seize the country with a sword, but it could not govern the country with a sword, and there should still be a chance on their side but they didn't expect that those corrupt officials and corrupt officials would use their heads and accumulated wealth for many years to buy people's hearts for the Han State......

Opportunities, it seems, are about to disappear

In this case, the two armies of Zhaoyang and Dongshan could no longer bear it and launched a joint attack, hoping to save everything and at least some people

But this time, they were not able to turn the tide like last time.

The army was defeated, and the soldiers were killed one after another, leaving only a few remnants of the defeated generals, besieged in a valley, fighting hard and unable to escape.

Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao tried to help them break the siege, but they fell into the siege of the Han worshippers. These worshippers are well aware of their details and have prepared very specific means for their surnames. Lin Xiao was captured, and Qiao Feng desperately destroyed the Daoji, forcibly urged the potential, broke through and returned to Zhaoyang County, and lit the letter incense to the master for help.

"What kind of means are used to make those offerings?" Wu Xie frowned and asked.

"Imperial Sword Technique, their swordsmanship is very powerful, it can be said that it is unpredictable, Senior Brother Lin can also be regarded as a master of swordsmanship, but he can only barely resist one, and then they formed a sword formation, and we were defeated at once."

A deep haze flashed in Wu Jie's eyes just now he carefully checked Qiao Feng's injuries and found that the sword intent remaining on the wound was the path of the White Emperor Pavilion.

Among the various factions in the world, the disciples of the White Emperor Pavilion often need to kill demons and eliminate demons, so they often cooperate with the imperial courts and governments of various countries, and some disciples who do not pursue the road of immortality have become worshiped by various countries...... If you want to put together a lineup that can deal with Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao, it must not be difficult.

Wu Xie was silent for a moment before setting off.

Maybe those people didn't have the idea of killing Qiao Feng and Lin Xiao, but it is an indisputable fact that Qiao Feng Daoji was destroyed and Lin Xiao was captured

There has to be an explanation for this.
