Chapter 7 Chapter 31 A hundred miles and the wind will eventually return to the wind
It turned out that the two armies had been fighting each other since the third day of the first lunar month, and by the sixth day of the first lunar month, they were still evenly matched.
When Wu Changkong held a grand wedding here, the war outside Gyeongju County was in the white-hot stage, so Mu Qianmei naturally paid more attention to the war outside Gyeongju County.
Although both sides did not hurt people in the battle according to the agreement, but the fight was also very tragic, although many people did not die, but the injury was not light, the sword has no eyes, it is inevitable to cause accidental injuries, fortunately there is a prior agreement, so there is no fatal accident.
After Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Tingfeng returned to Cuiyun City to continue training, but on the sixth day of the first year, he happened to return to the Heavenly King's Palace to accompany Mu Qianmei.
When Mu Qianmei came back from the imperial study, the expression on her face was a little worried, so Liu Tingfeng asked with concern:
"Senior sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you look a little preoccupied? ”
Mu Qianmei replied casually as she walked into the house:
"The battle in Gyeongju County was not as smooth as I expected, they fought for three days and it turned out to be evenly matched, it seems that our advantage is still not obvious!"
Liu Tingfeng was not too worried and said:
"This kind of war is like a large-scale military exercise, because there are no deaths, so it is naturally not easy to really distinguish the winner from the loser."
Mu Qianmei still said worriedly:
"Victory or defeat comes second, I'm worried about the attitude of a hundred miles and the wind, normally speaking, since there are three chapters of the law, then this war should be a quick victory, but now it seems that it is going to be a protracted war, such a situation is not what I expect to see."
Liu Tingfeng thought for a moment and replied:
"Baili Hefeng is there, it is considered a home battle, even if his army is weaker, but he has a geographical advantage, the total number of the two armies has reached more than three million, such a battle will naturally take a lot of time, if it is a real battle regardless of casualties, maybe it can be a quick battle, there are so many people, it will waste a lot of time to arrange troops!"
Mu Qianmei had no choice but to say helplessly:
"That's right, it's just a joint military training, I'm concerned about it, so I'm a little anxious."
Liu Tingfeng then changed the topic and said:
"I heard that the Peach Blossom Fairy and Wu Changkong have been married, and she has been canonized as the emperor, what does the senior sister think about this?"
After Mu Qianmei sat on the stool, her face couldn't help but show a hint of exhaustion, and Liu Tingfeng immediately stood behind her and massaged her, starting from her head, and then massaging her shoulders and back.
This heavenly palace has become a warm little home for them, where no one disturbs them, and they live an unrestrained world of two.
Mu Qianmei lazily leaned on Liu Tingfeng, closed her eyes slightly, enjoyed Liu Tingfeng's massage a little, and replied casually:
"Wu Changkong and the Peach Blossom Fairy are no longer worried, let them toss as they want! married Wu Changkong, who married the Peach Blossom Fairy, is even more difficult to become a big weapon. ”
Liu Tingfeng asked curiously:
"Why did Senior Sister say that? The fact that the Peach Blossom Fairy was able to successfully marry Wu Changkong shows that she is still deeply liked by Wu Changkong! ”
Mu Qianmei said indifferently:
"The Peach Blossom Fairy has scheming, but she doesn't have enough pattern, she can't become Wu Changkong's virtuous helper, on the contrary, it is precisely because she is too scheming that she will be more than successful, in the past, Wu Changkong only used her to create the Scorching Sun Sect, and did not really trust her, so she was not greatly affected, and now that she is established as the emperor, she will inevitably be affected more."
"When we are strong enough, they will no longer be our opponents, and they will even wear themselves out internally without me making a move."
Liu Tingfeng said suspiciously:
"Is it that serious?"
Mu Qianmei closed her eyes and said with a sigh of relief:
"Do you remember the history of the Peach Blossom Secret Realm? She was able to play thousands of people in the palm of her hand, and finally died one by one in the cannibalism, and then she was left alone with a servant to live in it, such a person, as long as she had enough resources in her hands, she could not resist getting rid of those who excluded her. ”
"Think about it, after Wu Changkong founded the Scorching Sun Sect, she was a puppet sect master, it can be seen that she usually had a bad time in the Scorching Sun Sect, and now that she has become the emperor, what will happen to those who don't usually take her seriously?"
"And the Liesun Sect and Wu Changkong's court are inextricably linked, and the whole body will be affected by a single hair, this infighting will inevitably expand from the Liesun Sect to the inside of the court, Wu Changkong is not good at strategy, and he will be harmed by the Peach Blossom Fairy sooner or later and become a real loner."
Liu Tingfeng said puzzledly:
"Isn't Wu Changkong good at strategy? In this battle for the throne with the crown prince, he can be regarded as a victor! ”
Mu Qianmei shook her head and said:
"If he is truly strategic, he will not have any connection with the Demon Realm, let alone believe that the four countries will really support the West Rain Country when they settle in the West Rain Country."
"Actually, there is also a good strategist by his side, that is, his Uncle Qi, not only has a very high cultivation realm, but his strategy is also good, but I don't know why he let Wu Changkong make a faint move, and finally became so passive, maybe some of the decisions were decided by Wu Changkong himself, and he didn't ask for his opinion!"
"Take this time to marry the Peach Blossom Fairy and canonize her as the emperor, it must be decided by yourself, from some details of the news, I know that after the Peach Blossom Fairy took the initiative to resign as the sect master of the Scorching Sun Sect, she applied to Wu Changkong's imperial garden to plant flowers and grass for him, and did his own job."
"The purpose is so obvious, probably only Wu Changkong, who is carried away by feelings, will believe that she is tired of fighting in the rivers and lakes and wants to live a dull life."
Liu Tingfeng couldn't help but smile lightly:
"In that way, she's been a good helper for us."
Mu Qianmei also smiled and said:
"Yes, she has indeed become our good helper, therefore, we have to inform the people lurking in Magnolia City, and we must cooperate with her every action at any time, help her, and give the greatest help in secret."
After chatting like this for a while, under Liu Tingfeng's massage, Mu Qianmei felt a lot more relaxed, so she opened her eyes and said:
"I'll arrange for them to bring the food, and after we have dinner, let's rest again!"
Liu Tingfeng immediately nodded and said:
"Well, I think my senior sister is really tired, let's rest after dinner!"
The next day, Liu Tingfeng set off for Cuiyun City very early, but Mu Qianmei slept until late before getting up, fortunately, she didn't have to go to court.
In fact, the news of Gyeongju County not only reached Mu Qianmei's hands, but also reached Liu Tingfeng's hands, because he is now the general of the town army of the Cuiyun City Central Army, and there will be battle reports back every day, and he is also well aware of the battle ahead.
Some of these decisions were commanded by him remotely and issued by himself.
On the twelfth day of the first month, the news of victory finally came from the front, the two armies practiced, the first three days of Baili and the wind because of the familiarity with the terrain, still had a slight advantage, the middle three days basically became a state of parity, the next three days finally turned the tide of the battle, won the final victory.
After that, after two days of negotiations, Xiaobai, as the representative of the victorious side, personally talked with Baili Hefeng, and the only request he put forward was that Baili Hefeng should return to the imperial court.
In the end, Baili Kazufeng still chose to agree to surrender, and promised to cooperate with Xiaobai's army and continue to conquer the rest of the feudal towns.
The two armies converged, and the total number reached more than three million, and everywhere they went, almost no one resisted, and they all chose to take refuge in the imperial court.
Half a month later, he returned triumphantly, and Baili Shunfeng came to Magnolia City with the army.
Due to the transfer of the army, the marching speed was relatively slow, and when they came to Magnolia City, it was already the fifth day of the second month.
The next morning, the hundred officials went to the court, and on the palace of the king of heaven, Mu Qianmei sat on the chair of the king of heaven, and after accepting the worship of the hundred officials, he immediately issued an order to announce the pilgrimage of the hundred miles and the wind.
She was also secretly curious in her heart, what kind of person would this Baili Hefeng be?
While she was waiting with curiosity, Baili Hefeng, accompanied by Liu Tingfeng, walked through the layers of palaces and came to the Heavenly King Palace.
Baili Hefeng is a member of the imperial court, in fact, the old officials basically know him, but in the current court, the new face is obviously the old face, therefore, there are many people who have seen him for the first time, so they are all curious to look at this different Gyeongju Taishou.
I saw that although he was an old minister, he didn't look old at all, only in his twenties, which shows that his cultivation is not low.
Although he is a civil official, he has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, with a bit of heroic posture, sharp eyes, and a resolute expression, which is not easy to get along with at first glance.
He walked up to the hall calmly, and then bowed to Mu Qianmei meticulously, and said respectfully:
"Ministers Baili and the wind meet the king of heaven!"
Mu Qianmei looked at it for a while before she said slowly:
"Flat, welcome to the return of Baili Taishou!"
Baili Changfeng said:
"Thank you!"
After finishing speaking, he stood up and glanced at Mu Qianmei as if inadvertently.
Mu Qianmei was full of curiosity about him, and he was also curious about this new Heavenly King, but as a courtier, he naturally couldn't stare at the Heavenly King, so after just one glance, he immediately bowed down and stood on top of the court, waiting for Mu Qianmei to speak.
The ministers also stood quietly on top of the court, wanting to hear what arrangements Mu Qianmei would make.
Mu Qianmei pondered for a moment, then said slowly:
"Baili Taishou will govern Gyeongju County in an orderly manner, he is a meritorious minister, it is said that he should continue to stay in Gyeongju County to benefit the people, but now that the imperial court is employing people, King Gu plans to transfer Baili Taishou back to the imperial court and serve as the general of the town army of Yulan City, I don't know what Baili Taishou will do?"
Baili Kazufeng seemed to have expected it, so he was not surprised, but bowed and replied in a calm tone:
"Obey the Heavenly King's Divine Commandment!"
