Chapter 305: Destiny Returns
After Shi Ziling returned to the capital, he told the situation to all the wives, and all the wives were mixed.
Xiao Hui, Su Zhirou, Sakura Xinmei, Kirithara Xiang and others all asked to follow Shi Ziling on the expedition together, but Shi Ziling refused. Shi Ziling said: "I went to Zhongzhou this time and brought most of the troops, Songhu City is even more empty than last time, I am more relieved to have you to assist Qingshuang to defend the city." ”
"What's more, with so many female soldiers recruited this time, it is up to you to choose the fittest to establish the women's escort corps. Although you already have a military position and some experience in leading troops, I will try to go to the central part of the country quickly this time, and it is still inconvenient for you women to march with you. ”
"There is another reason, that is, the decisive battle between me and Yuan Shi Tianzun on the first day of July is approaching. Although it's only May now, it's expected that if it goes well, we will be able to sweep away Luo Linhai in June, and then I will choose a place in Zhongzhou to retreat and seriously prepare for the showdown with Yuan Shi Tianzun, even if you follow, you won't be able to stay with me. ”
All the wives couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they heard this, but they also understood that what Shi Ziling said was the truth, and they reluctantly followed, not only did they not have much opportunity to get in close contact with Shi Ziling in the army, but it might also slow down the speed of the entire legion, and it was also less powerful for the defense of Songhu City.
However, when they thought that Shi Ziling would have to face off against Yuan Shi Tianzun this time, everyone was a little nervous. Su Zhirou asked with concern: "Husband, you have been fighting outside for the past half a year, and you don't have much time to retreat and cultivate, I don't know what chance you have of winning against Yuan Shi Tianzun this time?"
Shi Ziling said with a smile: "Don't worry, I absorbed the divine power of the Heaven Turning Seal during the battle with Li Yuan in the Dragon Horse Dao of Black Dragon City this time, plus the spiritual power of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword I absorbed last time and the original spiritual power, magic power and true yuan in my body, now I have a total of five powerful energies in my body that can be used freely, and my strength has greatly improved compared to before." I'm still very confident in getting the nine-yuan clearance diagram of the Yuan Shi Tianzun. ”
As he spoke, Shi Ziling took out the Heaven-Turning Seal from his arms. After he came back this time, he was busy with official business during the day, and at night he was in love with all the beautiful wives and beautiful relatives, but it was the first time he talked about the progress of his martial arts, and it was also the first time he took out the Heaven Turning Seal.
Although the wives had long known that he had defeated Li Yuan, it was the first time they had heard him mention the matter of the Turning the Sky Seal.
Yu Yulan said happily: "The husband is really a blessed person, he can get two of the three major artifacts, and he also integrates the spiritual power in them, I am afraid that there is no one before or after." In this way, we can rest assured, and hope that Fujun can successfully defeat Yuan Shi Tianzun to get the last nine-yuan clearance diagram and become the first person to enter the sainthood. ”
Su Fengxian played with the Heaven Turning Seal and said: "This Heaven Turning Seal is so famous, it turns out to be such a small stone!
Shi Ziling said: "Actually, I now regret absorbing the spiritual power of the two major artifacts, and I hope that when my Yuan Demon Divine Technique goes further, I can return the divine power to the Heaven Turning Seal and the Xuanyuan Sword, so that these ancient artifacts can continue to be passed on." ”
Sakura Xinmei said: "The door master is too worried, since it is an ancient artifact, it naturally has its destiny in the underworld, and the door master has absorbed the spiritual power in it, which is also due to the will of heaven." Whether these objects can continue to be passed on or not depends on their fate, and the owner of the door does not need to blame himself. ”
Su Fengxian said with a smile: "That's it, it doesn't matter if such a treasure seal can't be used as a weapon, anyway, the strength of the husband is already invincible in the world." When you become the emperor in the future, you will use this heaven-turning seal to make a jade seal, and the Xuanyuan sword will be used to make the Shangfang sword, what do you say?"
All the wives clapped their hands and laughed, and Kirithara Xiang smiled: "Sister Fengxian is really smart! It can be seen that the master of the door is really destined to return, like a fake true son of heaven! I don't know what the use of the Taixu Mirror in the three major artifacts is also in the hands of the master of the door?"
Su Fengxian thought for a while and said, "The Taixu Mirror sounds like a mirror, since it is a mirror, of course it should be used by us, the queen and princess." Maybe it will become more beautiful to take a picture of this virtual mirror every day, so let's take turns to take more photos, wow Ka Ka ......"
The wives laughed again, and Shi Ziling forced a smile and said: "Sister Fengxian, how many times have I said that I didn't want to be an emperor, so don't mention it again!
Su Fengxian didn't follow: "This is the destiny of heaven, it is the will of God, otherwise why would you even have the jade seal and the Shang Fang sword, no one has ever done it before! I don't care, the fortune teller said that I am destined to be rich and noble, and I, the imperial concubine, are decided!"
All the wives secretly snickered, although they didn't say it, they all agreed with Su Fengxian's statement in their hearts, and they all felt that Shi Ziling was indeed destined for heaven, but they didn't want to mention the matter of being called the emperor, so they just kept their mouths shut.
Although Shi Ziling was a little unhappy, he had always had no way to deal with Su Fengxian's nonsense, so he had to glare at her and stop arguing with her.
Su Fengxian was proud, extremely confident in her judgment, and she also saw that everyone supported her opinion in their hearts, anyway, she was used to messing with Shi Ziling, and she was not afraid that he would be angry, so she just continued to play with the earth-turning seal in her hand......
Early the next morning, Shi Ziling and his wives and beautiful relatives said goodbye to each other and led the army to the central part of the country and began another journey.
Their army this time was dominated by the 30,000 horses of the Songhu Legion plus the 20,000 horses of the city defenders, and the rest were the 20,000 men and horses of the Nangong Xia Narcissus Legion, with a total of about 70,000 troops. Shi Ziling and Ma Yu led the Songhu Legion to the forefront, the Duanmu brothers led the city defenders to follow, and Nangong Xia's Narcissus Legion fell behind.
After more than half a month of marching, the special attack division, the vanguard of the Songhu Army, had quietly come to the periphery of the Zhongzhou territory.
In order not to startle the snake, Shi Ziling ordered the whole battalion to quietly set up camp for a temporary rest, he discussed it with Ma Yu, and thought that it was better to find out the current situation in Zhongzhou before determining the next move, and by the way, he also waited for the follow-up team to follow up.
Ma Yu said: "Although it is unlikely that Elder Dian's intelligence will be wrong, after such a long march, I don't know if the Tang camp and the imperial army have won or lost. Although we sent spies to inspect early, we did not dare to go too far, for fear that our whereabouts would be discovered and we would be alarmed. I think it's best to send a master to the front to find out what is true and what is false, and then make a plan. ”
Shi Ziling said: "I also have this intention. I've been here once, and I still have some impression of the road, so I'll go there myself. Not only did I find out about the military situation, but I also wanted to meet Elder Dian himself. ”
Ma Yu said with a smile: "Of course you went, Luo Linhai and Tang Jingtian have many masters around them, and there is a Sanqing Sect nearby, except for you, an invincible master, who else can come and go freely......"
After handing over the Songhu Army to Ma Yu's command, Shi Ziling carried out the longitudinal technique alone and ran in the direction of Zhongzhou City. As we approached Zhongzhou City, the discarded ordnance flags and other items on both sides of the road gradually increased, and when we came to Zhongzhou City, they were already full of dead corpses and blood stains everywhere.
If it had been a year ago, Shi Ziling would have been deeply shocked by the scene in front of him, thinking that this was hell on earth. But after several wars, Shi Ziling has already personally experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, although the corpses are everywhere, but Shi Ziling did not feel too much, but calmly and carefully observed the situation on the battlefield.
Judging from the scene outside the city, it is obvious that a tragic battle has just ended, the Zhongzhou City in front looks quiet, there is no hustle and bustle of the siege, the original strong and majestic Zhongzhou City wall has long been damaged, and it can be seen from the "Luo" banner fluttering on the city tower that Luo Linhai's men and horses have occupied Zhongzhou City.
Shi Ziling remembered that when he came to Tang Camp last year, there was still a mighty scene of waving flags, but now there were no dead corpses or dead corpses on the battlefield in front of the entire city, and the smell of blood was everywhere, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly. He saw that although the gate of Zhongzhou City was closed, there were many serious damages on the city wall, and the defenders on the city tower did not seem to be very well arranged.
Shiziling walked around the city wall from afar, and after seeing a few gaps that could be infiltrated, he hid in a big tree, and when it was dark, he quietly launched the longitudinal technique and came to the city wall, and soon climbed up from the defect of the city wall that was optimistic about the city wall in advance, and unknowingly climbed up to the city tower.
Probably because the war had just ended, the guards on the city tower were not very tight, and Shi Ziling easily escaped the attention of all the defenders at night, and soon sneaked into Zhongzhou City.
In the palace of Zhongzhou City, Luo Linhai was discussing the next move with his generals and strategists. Ten days ago, they finally broke through Zhongzhou City with great effort, and then they started a face-to-face bloody battle with the stubborn Tang Ying.
Seven days later, Luo Linhai's army finally completely defeated the Tang army, Tang Xiaokun, the commander of the Zhongzhou Legion, was killed by Luo Linhai himself, and Fang Wuming of Ruyimen was also defeated by the two great monks of Huguo Temple and fled. Tang Jingtian saw that the general trend had gone, and fled to Shangqing Mountain outside the city with hundreds of personal soldiers, and the remaining soldiers and horses were all annihilated.
Luo Linhai was hindered by the prestige of Yuan Shi Tianzun, and did not dare to lead people to kill Shangqing Mountain to pursue Tang Jingtian, but just let his subordinates lay a heavy army under the mountain to besiege him. In addition, the Yellow Dragon Army also launched a sweep of the Tang family's remnants of the Tang family's small and medium-sized towns near the boundary of Zhongzhou, and to this day, the campaign of clearing and suppressing on the periphery is still going on intermittently.
