The loss of Kobe means that the gate of Mie County is open, and the army of the Domen can drive straight into the castle of Kono.

Konojo Castle is not very significant to the Domon, but the Ise Jingu Shrine, which is right next to Konojo Castle, is of great significance.

In the previous wars of Fenglinzhou, Ise Jingu has maintained a transcendent status, even if someone attacks Kamano Castle, it will not affect Ise Jingu, but this time it is different, Daomen is here for Ise Jingu. It can even be said that the ultimate goal of the entire February offensive was Ise Jingu, and only when Ise Jingu was captured could the plan be completed.

Domon raised his slogan and marched towards Ise Jingu.

However, before that, some of the high-level officials of the Daomen still took a flying boat back to Xiujing Xingying to participate in the dinner to welcome the arrival of the national teacher.

The venue of the banquet was not located in the camp, but in Xiujing City, where the Fenglinzhou Provincial Mansion was located.

Chinese banquets are always serious, and the national teacher did not want to create an atmosphere that was too tense before the war, so he adopted a more relaxed and lively Western-style banquet, including the new regent Sekibai Toyotomi Hideshige, the sword lord Yanagi Somasa, Fugui Palace, Jixiang Palace, and other important ministers of the Prime Minister's Palace, who were also invited to the banquet.

???????????????? It is worth mentioning that Jixiang Palace, she did not let go, but her attitude has been shaken, at least she is no longer bent on seeking death, and her realm cultivation has been sealed, so she also attended this dinner.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, the two rising stars who shined on the battlefield of Ise, were naturally invited, and not only that, but the two were also able to follow Qingwei Zhenren, Zhang Dazhen, Zhangfu Zhenren, the chief, the second and others to the ship to meet the national teacher.

The huge "Ying Dragon" slowly fell on the surface of the sea, lowered the gangway and connected with the trestle that extended into the sea.

Because of the limited location of the trestle, the number of people who can climb the trestle to greet the national teacher is limited, which also represents a special status. The position on the trestle is like the civil and military officials who are on duty when they go to court, and the higher the status, the higher the ranking. Qingwei Zhenren naturally stands first on the left, and the first person on the right is Zhang Qihan.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu just lined up in the middle position, almost the head of the deputy hall master. Before them, all of them were second-grade Taiyi Taoists.

The figure of the national teacher Li Changgeng appeared on the gangway and waved to everyone.

The crowd saluted in unison.

After the national teacher walked down the gangway, only Qingwei Zhenren and Zhang Qihan greeted him: "National teacher." ”

"Thank you two." The national teacher greeted the two of them.

After the national teacher, Li Changge and Yao Pei also walked down the long gangway to "Ying Long".

Li Changge said a prophecy, and the two really came to Fenglinzhou in the same boat.

All said that the three shows plus one Qi Xuansu, but after the offensive in February, a certain gap was opened between the four people, Qi Xuansu relied on the great merit of Zhao'an Linglu Mountain to be a peerless horse, but in order to seek a semi-immortal object, he gave part of the credit to Zhang Yuelu, so the two went hand in hand. Li Changge and Yao Pei are all backward, and when the war is over, it is almost inevitable that Qi and Zhang will be promoted to the second or substitute seats, and Li and Yao will have to stay up for a while in the position of deputy hall master.

It's not that Qingwei Zhenren is selfless and gives all the credit to Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, but he can't do it. He first sent the Onmyoji of the Earth Imperial Gate to recruit An Suzuka Mountain, but the Onmyoji of the Earth Imperial Gate failed to do so, so he sent Qi Xuansu.

In fact, this is not a simple task, if Qi Xuansu does not have the three major yin objects to escort him, he will not be able to see Suzuka Yuqian anyway, which is equivalent to Qi Xuansu bringing a pseudo-immortal to complete the task. In other words, this task is aimed at the pseudo-immortals. It is normal for Qi Xuansu to not be completed, and it is really unexpected to complete it.

Next, he attacked Jiuju City and killed Honganji Pinru, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu played the role of a celestial in the creation stage, which is equivalent to a low-ranking Shenzhi Zhenren.

This is also the reality that Qingwei Zhenren has to face.

Externally, it is necessary to win the hearts and minds of the people and the people, and to take a stand of righteousness. Internally, it is necessary to ensure that the war proceeds smoothly and to minimize casualties. In addition to pouring cannonballs at any cost, he must also frequently use high-end combat power to open up the situation, and it is impossible for him to hide Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, who have the "Heavenly Master Male and Female Sword" at this time.

As Taiping Dao has repeatedly emphasized, winning the battle of Fenglinzhou is the most important thing at the moment, and everything else is trivial.

Having said that, couldn't the big man find a half-immortal thing suitable for Zhang Yuelu? Do you have to use the Heavenly Master's sword? Not necessarily. It was the Heavenly Master who saw this and deliberately handed over the "Heavenly Master Male and Female Sword" to the two of them, so that the two of them could come to the Fenglin Continent battlefield to make contributions and strive for a first-mover advantage. The sentence "It's better to send you to kill a few more widows on the battlefield of Fenglin Continent" is not a lie.

Qi Xuansu has only gradually understood it now, this is to take advantage of the situation, this is to take advantage of the situation.

The Celestial Master didn't seem to have done anything, but he didn't suffer. Zhang Yuelu, whom he values, is expected to become the youngest second-grade Taiyi Taoist. Zhang Kucheng, who he wanted to protect, took advantage of the special opportunity of the war in Fenglan Prefecture to force the Li family to compromise, crossed the most difficult threshold, and was about to become the real person in charge of Jiangnan Province. Bai Yingqiong, who was on the same page, also took advantage of the situation, and was only one step away from knowing the real person, with her age, she could become Zhang Yuelu's right-hand man.

In fact, Cihang Zhenren's inability to compete for the position of the Great Palm Sect is almost a tacit matter, and the Heavenly Master also began to plan for the next thirty years knowing that he could not do anything, and the effect was remarkable.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh, the Heavenly Master looked at an old man who was very kind and kind, he didn't make a fuss about it on weekdays, and he didn't say some unfathomable words, but his methods were really clean and neat. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law, if they say that they will cut it, it can be said that they will kill their relatives in righteousness, and the strong man will break his wrist. Whether it is the granddaughter of a brother or the granddaughter of a cousin, as long as she has the potential and ability, she is a granddaughter and has the capacity to accommodate people. A series of layout plans are really plain as water, and there is no one who can't understand them, but it highlights a natural thing, which is somewhat a bit of a good fighter without great achievements.

As for the national teacher, it is a different style, which is more domineering.

The three deputy heads of the sect have been evenly matched for many years, maintaining balance, and each has its own strengths.

After the banquet began, the national teacher made a brief speech, mainly on behalf of Daomen and Jin Que to affirm a series of achievements in Xiujing's camp during this time.

Because it is a Western-style banquet, it is more casual and divided into three stages. The first stage, the prelude reception, the buffet meal, is probably a person with a glass of wine to socialize. In the second stage, during dinner time, Chinese banquets like to use round tables, while Western banquets use long tables. The third stage is the after-dinner reception. Men and women are separated, and this is also a time to talk about business.

After frequent contacts between the Daomen and the Holy Court, in order to entertain guests, they gradually learned some Western etiquette. The Central Plains has always been like this, good at learning, from kneeling to the chair.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are naturally together, Zhang Yuelu is a good wine person, and he will not miss such an opportunity, so he asked the Taoist in charge of the waiter for a glass of fine Western white wine, and drank it slowly.

Soon, the two met Li Changge and Li Zhuyu. In terms of clan relationship, Li Zhuyu is Li Changge's granddaughter, and in terms of Taoist relationship, Li Zhuyu is actually Li Changge's senior sister, and the two are not related by blood.

Qi Xuansu said: "I heard that Brother Yongyan cleared his grievances, and I am gratifying. ”

Li Changge smiled: "What is to clear the grievances, a crime of dereliction of duty and negligence cannot be escaped, I returned to Fenglinzhou this time, it is to atone for the sin." However, Brother Tianyuan Dao and Qingxiao Dao Friends have repeatedly made military exploits, and I have heard of them in Jiangnan. ”

"Brother Yongyan Dao has an overreputation, but it's just a dedication to the Dao Sect's duties." Qi Xuansu said humbly.

Zhang Yuelu didn't like this kind of entertainment very much, since Qi Xuansu had to deal with it, she talked less and just drank by herself.

It is said that Zhang Yuelu is not easy to get along with, but it is not groundless.

Of course, there are people who are more unsociable than Zhang Yuelu, and that is Yao Pei.

At this time, Yao Pei was standing alone in the corner, and most of the people present were second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests, and the most unfortunate were third-grade Youyi Taoist priests, and there were few idle people. Yao Pei naturally can't stand out from the crowd, but he keeps a certain distance from everyone, compared to Zhang Yuelu, who is accompanied by someone, he has a bit of a sense of independence.

However, Yao Pei enjoyed this loneliness quite a bit, drinking alone and enjoying himself.

In just a prelude, Zhang Yuelu drank a bottle of white wine, plus half a pot of rice wine, and a glass of white wine. If this was an ordinary woman, she would not be able to find the north in Qi Xuansu's arms, but even if Zhang Yuelu didn't need to cultivate to resolve it, she was still in good spirits and didn't get drunk at all.

There was nothing to say about the next dinner, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were at the end of the long table, separated from the national teacher. Li Changge and Yao Pei were no exceptions, and they were arranged opposite Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu.

At the after-dinner reception, Qi Xuansu was with Li Changge and others, Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei, Li Zhuyu and others were together. In fact, there is nothing serious to talk about, after all, the Taoism is different, the Taoism is different, and there is no conspiracy, it is nothing more than talking about some inconsequential interesting things.

But the others, including the high-ranking people of the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion, gathered in groups of three or five in different small rooms, filled with smoke, and from time to time they walked out of one and went to the next small circle with smoke all over their bodies.

All kinds of waiters went back and forth, bringing all kinds of liquor or other necessities.

The national teacher and Qingwei Zhenren also had a separate conversation at this time.

The two of them sat on Western-style sofas across a coffee table.

"Wuji, I came here this time, not because I can't trust you, but just in case." The national teacher leaned back in his chair, "It is said that military affairs are the continuation of political affairs, don't you know that to achieve the ultimate strategic goal, it still depends on the outcome of the war." And at the beginning of war, it must obey its own principles and rules, which no one can disobey, nor will it change by the will of any one person, but only by specific deeds. War is not a horse that can be tamed and let others control it, and if it talks about right and wrong in front of it, it will not admit this, and if it is not careful, it will suffer a big loss and die a miserable death. ”

Qingwei Zhenren was silent for a moment: "What does the national teacher mean...... The last battle, no longer holding back? ”

The national teacher said indifferently: "Following the objective laws of war, what we want is the result." ”
