Chapter 30: The War over Military Rations
The city of Mingdu is boiling.
Because the war between the empire and Feidu Mengdian is really about to break out.
His Majesty the Emperor, who was sick in bed, had a decree.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Tie Anxing and the Third Prince Tie Anle will join the Zhenxi Army on the Western Front and participate in the battle against the Feidu Army.
The Fifth Emperor Tie Zhantang, the Sixth Emperor Tie Zhanye, and the Ninth Emperor Tie An participated in the Zhendong Army and participated in the battle with Meng Dian.
In the holy decree, there is no mention of the seventeenth prince Tie Zhanyun.
There has been speculation that the Holy Lord's move is intended to determine the succession based on the performance of the princes in the war, and it is clear that the seventeenth prince Tie Zhanyun has lost the qualification to compete.
As a result, the major powerful forces in the capital have acted nervously, and this is their last chance to stand in line.
As long as the Imperial War is won, the Holy Lord will hand over the supreme imperial power, and at that time, it will be the time for a major reshuffle in the Imperial Court, and now the correctness of standing in line has become the key.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince's side have a clear advantage in the situation, the power of the Fifth Prince's side should not be underestimated!
After all, they were a combination of three princes, and there were several Xiuzhen sects behind them.
What's more, compared with the violent and beautiful prince, the five princes seem to be more favored by some old ministers in the court.
Among the five people, the third prince obviously does not have the appearance of an emperor.
The Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince made it clear that they would support the Five Princes, and the suspense of competition was also lost.
The battle situation on the east and west fronts is related to the ownership of the imperial throne, and it has become a public stage for the competition between the crown prince and the five princes.
Whoever achieves better achievements or performances on their respective battlefields will play a decisive role.
The six major families also took action.
The Jin family and the Hua family took the lead in standing on the side of the Five Princes Tie Zhantang, and followed in their footsteps by more than 20 large and small aristocratic forces in Kyoto.
Immediately afterwards, the Feng family, the Liu family, and the Yang family successively announced that they would support the prince's side.
However, the Xue family, who has always been cautious, is reluctant to take a stand!
This time, the attitude of the Xue family is very important.
Among the six major families, the Xue family is the only super family that deals in food crops.
In addition to fighting for people, equipment, and tactics in war, supply is particularly crucial!
No one knows how long the war on two fronts will last!
There are many examples of wars in history that have been defeated due to the drag of materials, and the attitude of the Xue family, a super family that eats food, is too critical at this time!
The Holy Decree is to only provide the Zhenxi Army and the Zhendong Army with military rations for 800,000 troops for three months!
Everyone knows that three months is probably only a fraction of the time of this war.
Do you want the soldiers to fight the enemy army on an empty stomach?
Obviously, this is a topic for the princes.
The problem of military rations was solved by the princes.
Ten days later, the princes will immediately rush to the front line where they will fight, and these ten days have become the only chance for the two camps to finally win the support of the Xue family.
The strange thing is that after returning home from the pilgrimage to the Flying Heaven Temple, before the Holy Lord's will was issued, the head of the Xue family suddenly fell ill and refused all visitors.
After the holy decree came out, the two camps, whether it was the crown prince or the fifth prince, came to the door several times in person to ask to see the head of the Xue family, but they couldn't see it.
Food suddenly became the most sought-after thing.
It is said that the Kinta Sect of Burning Fire Island in the Streamer Sea Sea, a sect rich in food, does not know how many summons it receives every day, and all of them are asking for food.
The little yellow rice that the powerful used to disdain even has become more expensive than anything else.
It's a pity that Kam Tin Zong, as one of the members of the Angel Chamber of Commerce, made it clear that any order for food will be decided by the Angel Chamber of Commerce.
The current third prince Tie Anle was scolded by the royal brother in the prince's mansion.
Because, the princes who failed to face the saint went home and waited for the holy decree, and everything was originally normal, who knew that Tie Anle, who had always behaved perversely, had done a stupid thing that now even his intestines are repentant.
Seeing that more than a dozen of his favorite guards were killed on the spot outside the Flying Heaven Palace, and some even turned into meat sauce, where could he still hold back the anger in his heart when he suddenly felt that he had no face?
Let him sweep the floor majestically in front of others, it is better to directly take a knife and kill the knife!
He suddenly forgot the warning of Lao Jia in front of the small building, and forgot that the mysterious young man in cloth was personally escorted out of the hall by Lao Jia.
At this critical juncture of the ownership of imperial power, such a majestic thing happened in Mingdu City, and it happened to him, how could he endure it?
It's just a small chamber of commerce!
He could kill several at his fingertips, and he wanted to come.
So, in a fit of rage, he gathered a hundred and ten armed guards and guards, as well as some strong men from the family forces that supported him, and came to East 15th Street in a murderous manner.
East 15th Street is the territory of the Feng family, which is equivalent to his territory.
Here, the Feng family has the final say, and if he has the final say.
The Angel Chamber of Commerce has nearly a thousand guards, how can it be afraid of hundreds of people?
Soon, a stalemate formed.
At this time, several people appeared in the Angel Chamber of Commerce, and two of them surprised Tie Anle, that is, the Tie Zhanyun brothers and sisters.
He didn't expect this brother to be here.
However, the enraged Tie Anle didn't care about Tie Zhanyun's persuasion at all, and insisted on closing the Angel Chamber of Commerce and imprisoning everyone in the Forbidden God Black Prison!
As a result, the people of Kyoto witnessed a near-one-sided massacre.
The executor of this massacre was none other than the young man in cloth named Meng Yang of the Angel Chamber of Commerce.
What countless people can't figure out when they break their heads is, why can this teenager cast spells?
Why wasn't it banned by the artifact?
It's a pity that all the people he brought with him were either burned to ashes by the powerful fireball or torn to pieces by the huge wind blade in a dozen breaths!
The scene is extremely bloody and terrifying!
Including the hundreds of guards on East 15th Street, all of them died in an instant!
At that moment, Meng Yang was like a terrifying killing god.
At that moment, several brocade-clothed people who had been hiding in the shadows appeared, ordered Tie Anle to retreat immediately, and immediately sent the compensation for the four horses to the Angel Chamber of Commerce.
Tie Anle, who lost his wife and his soldiers, and inexplicably paid a huge amount of money, was so angry that he had to do it obediently.
Because he knew who those brocade men were.
If there are still people in this world who never take these princes including the crown prince in their eyes, it must be these brocade-clothed people, these powerful cultivators, these peerless powerhouses who can fly at will in the famous capital city, are haunting, and are completely unrestricted by the forbidden artifacts of the Zhenguo Empire, and only listen to the orders of one person, that is their father!
This matter soon spread throughout the famous capital city.
Some people even began to speculate about what the Seventeenth Prince, the weakest prince, had to do with the Angel Chamber of Commerce, when the Holy Decree was issued.
After unsuccessfully wooing the Xue family and asking for help from the Jintian Sect to no avail, people suddenly turned their attention to this small chamber of commerce that had never been qualified to enter the inner city!
Angel Chamber of Commerce!
The mysterious and powerful young man, the image of the murderous god, suddenly left an unforgettable impression in the hearts of the famous people.
Since the miraculous appearance of the miraculous Zhuyan Pill in the eyes of the world, there are as many as sixty or seventy members, all of whom are big and powerful sects, involving a variety of industries and categories, which is staggering!
What's more, now the issue of military rations on the two fronts seems to be concentrated on it all at once, and the name of the Angel Chamber of Commerce has suddenly become a hot word for everyone.
The most terrifying thing is that the Xue family, who has never seen guests, sent out an invitation at this time to invite the seventeen princes, brothers and sisters and the head of the Angel Chamber of Commerce alone, which shocked everyone!
Could it all be related to the seventeenth prince who has completely lost his qualification to compete for the throne?
Suddenly, countless people moved around, and I don't know how many forces are lurking near the Snow Mansion and the Angel Chamber of Commerce!
Just when Tie Zhanyun once again attracted the attention of several imperial brothers, he found that he had left the famous capital with Tie Qin'er, and hurriedly left the famous capital under the protection of the five hundred guards of the Angel Chamber of Commerce, and the direction they went was the north!
Could it be that the Seventeenth Prince and the guards of the Angel Chamber of Commerce are going back to Yinshan County?
What was he doing in such a hurry?
The departure of the seventeenth prince does not know how many pairs of eyes are secretly watching, and there are also many hidden killing opportunities!
In the end, the Angel Chamber of Commerce adopted a two-puponting approach against the Son of Heaven and the Five Princes, promising to provide the two sides with enough military rations to sustain a million troops for a year, and this war seemed to be over.
However, the Xue family's uncertain attitude was like a huge cloud hanging over the city of Mingdu, and the two camps couldn't put their minds at ease.
Until one day, the Xue family suddenly publicly announced that they would neither participate in the Zhenxi Army of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nor the Zhendong Army of the Five Princes, as if they remained neutral!
However, at this time, there was only one day left before the ten-day deadline of the Holy Decree, and on the second day, the princes would set foot on their respective battlefields, and no one would take the time to deal with the Xue family.
And it was at this time that the astonishing news began to circulate.
The big sect of the east gate, the Ruyi Gate sect, was destroyed, and the disciples in the gate were killed and injured.
No one knows what forces are doing it!
The whole thing was done extremely hidden, tens of thousands of people up and down the Ruyi Gate were almost wiped out, and I don't know how many people were able to escape, this incident shook the four major cultivation holy realms!
Meng Yang, who heard the news, was treating Tie Qingyun in the Forbidden City Emperor's bedroom behind the Flying Heaven Palace, when he only felt a buzz in his head, and his eyes went black.
It was Ryuichi who sent him the message.
Only Ryuichi can use his divine sense without any obstacles in the famous capital city.
These days, Monyang has gained a lot.
The cultivation slowly improved again, of course, thanks to those powerful yin souls in the emperor's body!
In just over ten days, Meng Yang absorbed only a dozen of the Yin Souls in Emperor Lao'er's body, and the rest were of course the most powerful Yin Souls!
Tie Qingyun was full of energy, with his cultivation, it was no problem to control these dozen or so Yin Spirits, Meng Yang, who was originally going to absorb these Yin Spirits and transform them into his own body cultivation in one fell swoop, almost fainted after receiving Long Yi's transmission.
He didn't know how to describe the pain in his heart at the moment, and he didn't know why he was so sad.
It stands to reason that he has only been with Jiang Miao and other women for a few days, and he is not a close friend, and he has not communicated too much.
It's just that his heart is uncontrollably sad, which is incomprehensible.
Just like the uncontrollable feeling when he first saw Jiang Miao in the Xinghuo grocery store, at this moment, Meng Yang felt his soul violently shake, and his heart shook endlessly, and he spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and landed on the splendid quilt cover of the dragon bed, which looked shocking.
Lao Jia and Tie Qingyun thought that Meng Yang was attacked by Black Spot, and couldn't help but be shocked, but they all knew how powerful Black Spot was, and they didn't dare to use their divine sense to probe Meng Yang's body, nor did they dare to help Meng Yang.
Fortunately, Meng Yang shook his head, and it took him a long time to wake up with a pale face.
"Meng Yang, are you in trouble?" asked Lao Jia with concern as he changed his cold temperament.
Meng Yang shook his head and said in a low voice: "These days, I think the speed at which I absorbed the black spots was too fast, so that now those few magic weapons and pills have completely been unable to suppress the tyranny of the dark spots in my body, I am afraid that the remaining dark spots in the saint's body will have to wait until those medicinal materials are found before refining the pills before daring to do it again." I have to hurry back to the door to recuperate for a while! I think that my situation is probably not much better than that of Your Majesty now, and I have to ask a few ancestors to help. I wonder what happened to the Holy Lord's arrangement to find those medicinal herbs?"
Tie Qingyun's spirit has been recovering recently, his eyes are shining, and the pale face has long been replaced by a strange blue light, and he said in a deep voice: "Regarding the medicinal materials, you can rest assured, I have arranged enough people to search for them, and it is estimated that in three months at most, I will be able to make up enough medicinal materials on your list." These days, the stubborn disease of the widow is really thanks to your sacrifice of your life, you can rest assured, the widow will never treat you badly! You can go back to the sect to recuperate with peace of mind, and after the medicinal materials are found, I will let people inform the Angel Chamber of Commerce, and it will not be too late for you to come to Beijing again!"
Meng Yang shook his body and stood up, but Tie Qingyun asked casually: "I heard that your Angel Chamber of Commerce has a good relationship with Zhan Yun?"
Meng Yang's face did not change, and he said calmly: "His Royal Highness the prince has some friendship with Xiaomin, and he has been living in the Angel Chamber of Commerce a few days ago・・・・・・!
"Well, if your Angel Chamber of Commerce can help him achieve a great cause, it will be of unexpected benefit to all of you. That's all there is to it, you can weigh it yourself. Remember, everything in this world is under the control of the widow, so it's best not to play tricks in front of the widow. Tie Qingyun said coldly.
Is this the true face of the ruthless Tie Qingyun?
Meng Yang felt that this person's temperament was really difficult to guess, and nodded hurriedly: "Taking advantage of this time to recuperate, Xiaomin really wants to go to the territory of His Royal Highness the Seventeenth Prince to see if there are any suitable business opportunities, I heard that there are no merchants in the extreme north, maybe the undeveloped place is a treasure land! Thank you for the reminder! You take care of the dragon's body, Xiaomin will retire!"
Tie Qingshan raised his eyebrows, and shouted in a deep voice: "Wait! The day before yesterday, the widow injected a stream of true qi into your body, and you kid actually slaughtered in front of the Chamber of Commerce, what a big boldness, now that you are about to leave the name, that true qi widow will naturally take it back!"
As he spoke, with a weak finger of his right hand, the true qi of the iron clouds on the sea of Meng Yang's qi instantly followed the meridians of Meng Yang's right hand and gushed out of his body like lightning from the Quchi acupoint!
Tie Qingyun snapped his fingers, and that true qi was taken back by him.
Meng Yang didn't think it was a pity, anyway, at first, he used this true qi to make a tiger skin, and he could cast spells in a bright and bright way, but now he doesn't need it, and it's nothing to take it back.
In fact, he had already evolved from the true qi that Lao Jia had entered into his body to communicate with the artifact, and although the current Zhenguo artifact was so powerful that he still couldn't sense its exact location, his divine sense or spell was no longer subject to its prohibition!
This may be something that Tie Qingyun and Lao Jia can't even dream of.
Their strange true qi is completely derived from the inheritance of the Zhenguo artifact, and it is impossible for a person who has not undergone the baptism of inheritance to cultivate the same true qi.
This true qi is different from the spiritual power cultivated by ordinary cultivators, but it is a unique true qi that is completely consistent with the breath of the Zhenguo artifact itself, and it is called divine qi by the people of the triple building!
No one could have expected that Lao Jia would enter Meng Yang's body with a little bit of divine energy, and he would evolve almost identical divine qi within ten breaths!
And this also laid an important foreshadowing for an earth-shattering event later, which will not be mentioned for the time being.
