Roar!

Pudu Cihang roared, not at all like a human voice.

The golden body of the Buddha swelled rapidly, and a gap opened at the back of the neck, like a golden cicada shedding its shell.

A giant centipede came out of the golden body, winding dozens of feet, dozens of pairs of sharp claws, each of which was like a court pillar.

Juggernaut and Yan Chixia were the size of ants in front of the centipede.

"Pudu Cihang, times have changed, you are still playing the demon clan, and you don't understand the mysteries of physics!"

Unfazed, the Juggernaut drew the giant sword to land on the centipede's head.

Rumble!

After the terrifying loud noise, a mushroom cloud rose.

"Roar!"

Half of Pudu Cihang's head was blown off, and hundreds of pairs of compound eyes glanced at the Sword Saint, and his body turned and burrowed into the ground.

The centipede demon burrowed into the ground, leaving a large hole in the ground that went straight to the ground like a mine.

Yan Chixia said: "Senior brother, don't get rid of the demons, Pudu Cihang has been seriously injured, let's chase it." ”

"Don't go, my nuclear explosion sword qi has not been completely mastered, and casting it underground is tantamount to suicide."

As the Juggernaut spoke, a wisp of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Ahem!

Can't help but have a series of coughs.

"Senior brother? You're hurt? Yan Chixia hurriedly took out the elixir and asked the Sword Saint to take it.

"Qi luck is reversed, and the medicine stone is useless, so it can only be slowly dissolved."

The sword saint used his mana and suppressed the chaotic aura in his body: "This demon monk devoured the dragon qi of the Great Zhou, wanting to stimulate the blood veins in his body and turn into a demon dragon. Although he didn't succeed now, he was also entangled with the luck of the Great Zhou, and killing him was tantamount to killing the luck of the Great Zhou. ”

Yan Chixia frowned: "Senior brother means that if you want to get rid of the demon monk, you must first overthrow the Great Zhou court?" ”

"Only in this way, now the demon monk is blessed by the luck of the Great Zhou."

The sword saint said: "But success is also luck, defeat is also luck, once the Great Zhou court is over, the strength of the demon monk will not be one in ten." ”

The way of luck is the most mysterious, and those who practice it want to increase their luck to their bodies, but they are afraid that their luck will be poisonous.

"The Great Zhou has long been in turmoil, and now that the imperial city has been broken and the royal family is punished, it will definitely not last long."

Yan Chixia said sarcastically: "This demon monk bewitches hundreds of officials, the cholera court, and now luck is involved, retribution is coming!" ”

"I can't tell!"

The sword god looked in the direction of the imperial city.

With the strength of the Sword Master, he has been able to serve a country.

The fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty is thin, but it is thin but not scattered, and it is not yet the time for the building to collapse.

……

Kyoto.

After the Heavenly Master Dao abducted Emperor Guangming and evacuated Kyoto.

Although the Han army was strong, it only had 150,000 troops, and it was a surprise attack from afar, and it did not have a solid foundation in the world.

The wealth accumulated by the Great Zhou royal family for three hundred years was all plundered by the Heavenly Master Dao, and after a period of concentrated development, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers could be trained.

According to Professor Tang's plan, starting from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it will gradually expand outward.

Jiangnan is not short of money and food, and can afford to raise more soldiers, and it will not take a year or two to unify the north with the south.

The Great Zhou Emperor was snatched away by the thieves, which was the first time in the world, and there was no similar incident in the history books for comparison.

Most of the hundred officials ran away, and the rest couldn't come up with ideas at all, until the Holy Queen and the King of Chu returned, and after some discussion, they set up a new monarch.

The Holy Empress has already come to the court to listen to the government, controls most of the power in the court, and has an intact female commander, so she has the advantage. However, the king of Chu is a descendant of the royal family, and the bloodline can no longer be corrected, representing the only remaining orthodoxy of the Great Zhou.

For the sake of righteousness, the Holy Queen could not kill the King of Chu.

In order to stabilize the imperial court, the king of Chu needed the support of the holy queen.

The two clashed several times, and finally decided that the king of Chu would ascend the throne as emperor and be Emperor Yuande.

The holy queen was crowned as the queen, and she had the right to listen to the government, and she was the same day as Emperor Yuande.

The power of the head is determined, and it is much simpler below, and it doesn't matter if most of the officials are less, promote their deputies to the main position, and then find someone to be the official.

In the Great Zhou of the 300-year Chengping, there are many scholars everywhere, and there are more people who want to be officials.

In a dozen days, a new team was barely formed in the palace, and Kyoto gradually recovered.

The power in the palace is tilted, and there are mostly colored secrets to the people, such as the three men in the front, middle and back of the Holy Queen, who turned out to be three brothers.

Some pedantic scholars who did not choose Shangguan began to discuss this matter, saying that the Great Zhou royal family had degenerated into barbarians.

Only barbarians will have this bad habit of one woman and three servants!

Kyoto is full of mixed mouths, and soon the word has changed its taste, and there are already secret history books about the martial pheasant in the market, with beautiful pictures.

City.

In the eyes of dignitaries and nobles, most of the markets where the inferior people went were bought and sold by farmers from the vicinity of Kyoto.

The bustle and prosperity are the same as before the Han army broke the city, ordinary people have no surplus food at home, and they are afraid that they have to come out to do business.

"Selling straw sandals—"

"Selling straw sandals—"

shouted one after another, but the attention of the caller was not on the stall, he was staring intently at a yellow paper booklet, whether he was spitting and picking up the next page.

"How do you sell straw sandals?"

The honest man's voice attracted the attention of the stall owner.

"Three dollars and one pair, ten dollars and three pairs!"

The stall owner has a pair of slender beards, and when he speaks, he shudders, which is very funny.

The man counted on his fingers one by one, and carefully counted the nine coins and divided them into three parts.

"Three pennies a pair, I'll buy three pairs."

"It's a loss, it's a loss."

The stall owner wiped his hand and put the money away, handing over three pairs of straw sandals.

The honest man happily left with straw sandals, thinking that he had taken advantage of a penny, and the farmer's penny was not a small amount of money.

A young man who was wandering around next to him looked at the scene in front of him with interest and walked to the straw sandal stall.

"You're doing a good job."

"It's just a matter of making ends meet."

The stall owner was amazed by the appearance of the young man, and his clothes were luxurious, which was incompatible with the West Market.

Putting down the yellow book in his hand, the stall owner arched his hand and said: "Contemptible Zhou Xiu, it seems that you are not from Kyoto when you listen to your accent?" ”

"It's not a nobleman, it's a business person in the north, and his surname is Ma."

The young man Ma Yang shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I've been in my hometown for a long time, and I heard that Kyoto is prosperous and came to visit, who would have thought that I would encounter such a thing." ”

Since Kyoto was broken by the rebels, the city gate was lifted yesterday, and the forbidden army guarded the four gates before, and they were allowed to enter but not leave.

"Hehe, Brother Ma, you don't know, we have exclusive secrets here."

Zhou Xiu lowered his voice and said: "What rebels broke the city, it is said that the Holy Queen was dissatisfied with the emperor and the royal family, and conspired with the present to let the rebels enter the city and cleanse it. ”

"Be cautious, Brother Zhou's words will be spread, but he will be killed."

Ma Yang didn't expect that the people of Kyoto would be so bold that they would talk about the emperor and the queen on the street, and it would not be too much to arrest the nine clans.

"What kind of head to kill, now it is spread all over the capital, you see that it is clearly written......

Zhou Xiushen mysteriously took out the booklet, covered it with his shirt, and turned one of the pages.

——The first emperor favored the inner servant in the deep palace, and the king of Chu met on a rainy night after the saint.

The pictures and texts are abundant, the scale is large, and the content is explosive, and Ma Yang was stunned when he saw it.

Ma Yang asked, "This book is widely circulated in Kyoto?" ”

There are such books in the stalls selling straw sandals, and other wealthy families are estimated to have been flooded.

"This is not something that ordinary people can have, they don't even know words, what can they understand?"

Zhou Xiu said proudly: "We are the royal family, the ancestor is the king of Zhongshan in Shuzhou, and his majesty will call us uncle in terms of generation." ”

"Huh?"

Ma Yang's face was full of surprise, the Great Zhou Kyoto was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and the person who sold straw shoes turned out to be a descendant of the royal family.

Suddenly.

A detachment of cavalry rushed from a distance, not shying away from pedestrians on the road.

In the process of evading, a toddler fell to the ground and cried, seeing that a tragedy was about to happen.

A figure sprang out from the side of the street, and pounced on the young child, so that he wanted to resist the horse's hooves with his back.

Ma Yang's mana in his body is working, and if the situation is bad, he will come to the rescue.

The cavalry ignored the two people in the street, one big and one small, with a cruel expression on their faces, and stepped over.

Hiss!

The war horse neighed miserably, broke its front legs, and fell down the street.

Five or six horsemen in the back collided with the war horses in front, and all rolled into gourds.

In the middle of the street, the figure of a child was in his arms, and horses and cavalry kept falling over him, which happened to be perfectly avoided by him.

The cavalry wailed on the ground and could not get up, and the parents of the little ones hurriedly carried the child away.

The young man who saved the man got up on his own, without the slightest panic.

"Interesting!"

There was a look of appreciation in Ma Yang's eyes.

Not afraid of danger, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, to put it simply, there are few who can do it.

"Oh, that's the new Admiral of the West City Gate, and he has a black heart."

Zhou Xiu recognized the identity of the wailing cavalryman, hid his face and called to the young man on the street: "Little brother, come here, I'll take you to avoid it." ”

When the young man heard the voice, he walked over happily, but he was not the slightest defense.

"It's rare to have a child's heart!"

Ma Yang boasted that the city was profound, and he was suspicious of people, but he admired the scheming child the most.

Probably, what is lacking is what you care about the most.

"Boy Liu Xun, I've seen my father-in-law." The young man was Liu Xun after reincarnation, tired of the struggle of the imperial court, and wandered around with nothing to do.

Liu Xun's luck has been downgraded, and he has become lucky and passive, and he will not be short of money on weekdays, and he can pick up silver on the road.

The luck haunting talent is gone, but some characteristics are still retained, such as the cavalry wanted to harm him, and he fell half to death first.

"What old man, we're only thirty years old!"

Zhou Xiu glared at Liu Xun: "You help me close the stall, go to my house to hide, I was caught by this guy, and if you don't die, you will lose your skin!" ”

Zhou Xiu and Liu Xun wrapped straw sandals together at random, got into the crowd and left Xishi, not noticing that Ma Yang was following behind.

Twisting and turning, he walked through the streets and alleys and came to a house in the city.

The plaque paint on the door of the house is about to fall off, and it is vaguely written what the palace is.

The house covers an area of not small, with three entrances before and after, which can be sold at a price in the slum west market.

Zhou Xiu threw the straw sandals in the lobby, scooped the scoop of well water with a gourd, and drank it happily, only then did he notice Ma Yang who was following behind.

"Mr. Ma, it's a humble house, it's making you smile."

"The humble house is simple, with Mr. Zhou living there, and it is also full of four walls."

Ma Yang said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to be really the queen of Zhongshan, the royal bloodline, but it is disrespectful!" ”

"What disrespect is not disrespectful, you can just call me Lao Zhou, Mr. listen."

Zhou Xiu said indifferently: "It's long gone, and even the name has been removed from the royal family tree, that is, it is used to brag." ”

"I can't say, I can restore the glory of my ancestors in the future, isn't Zhou Taizu also from the market."

Liu Xun used to be the champion, and later read a lot of books, and he knows the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty very well: "It is recorded that Taizu sold dates back then, so every time the royal family worships the ancestors, they elect the king of jujube from all over the world for Taizu to enjoy!" ”

"Zhou Taizu sells dates, and Brother Zhou sells straw shoes! It doesn't get any better than that, haha. ”

Ma Yang said, his interest became higher and higher, and said: "Now the court is unstable, and three emperors have changed in just two years, and the building is about to collapse!" What Da Zhou needs now is not a holy queen who is skilled in scheming, but the reincarnation of Taizu! ”

"This big brother is right, I think Brother Zhou is Xiao Taizu!"

Liu Xun said: "If Brother Zhou is willing to be the emperor, I will definitely sacrifice my life to support it!" ”

"Liu Zhuangshi is full of iron courage, a pure heart, and is willing to repay his kindness with his life..."

Ma Yang stroked his non-existent beard: "This is a rare peerless general in the world!" ”

"Sir's bones are amazed, his eyes are like torches, and his every move has a deep meaning..."

Liu Xun exclaimed: "This is a peerless strategist who is hard to find in the world!" ”

"You two, you're still addicted."

Zhou Xiu interrupted the two of them to blow each other: "I'll go to sell wine and drink a few bowls together, and then I'll blow the sky through Old Zhou!" ”

Lao Zhou touched his pocket, turned around and went to the bottom of the bed in the inner room, took out a handful of copper coins, and went to the wine shop on the street to buy two jars of local wine.

The Zhongshan Palace's mansion is dilapidated and dilapidated, and there are stone tables and chairs in the courtyard, and the three of them are holding bowls and drinking wine.

Zhou Xiu was the fastest drunk, and his tongue loosened and began to brag.

Starting from the glory of the ancestors, it has been reduced to selling straw sandals.

“…… This album, see it, who dares to spread the album of the emperor and queen in private...... It must have come from the palace. ”

Zhou Xiu said: "Perhaps, the emperor and the queen also participated in the creation of ......"

Speaking of this, Zhou Xiu showed a smile that all men understand.

Ma Yang was surprised: "Brother Zhou, tell me, why do the emperor and the holy queen want to be so self-defiled?" ”

"You don't understand this, it seems to be self-defilement, but it is actually self-preservation."

Zhou Xiu said: "First, it explained that the rebels attacked the city, so that everyone in the world thought that it was the Holy Queen who directed and acted herself, and the Great Zhou was still under the control of the imperial court. ”

"Second, the Holy Queen marries Your Majesty, after all, the name is not right. Now that the first emperor has no virtue, the holy queen and the new emperor are lovers. ”

When Zhou Xiu spoke, his eyes lit up, as if he had penetrated all the fog and glimpsed the truth!

Liu Xun said: "This kind of trick can only deceive the people, but the family knows the inside story clearly, and even the rebels are present when they enter the imperial city." ”

"Cut, you kid can't do it, how can there be any peerless talent!"

Zhou Xiu dipped in wine and drew a large circle on the table, and then drew a small circle in the circle: "The world is so big, the big family accounts for only one hundred, and the ordinary people account for ninety-nine." As long as the people believe in the propaganda of the album, the family will not be able to turn over the wind and waves, and the world will be stable! ”

"Wonderful! It's wonderful! ”

Ma Yang exclaimed: "But why should you defile yourself, you can also achieve your goal by other methods? ”

"Hehe, you're not qualified as a peerless strategist! The imperial city is broken, the emperor is taken away by the rebels, and seeing that the Great Zhou is about to be gone, there is still time to publicize it little by little! ”

Zhou Xiu said with a smile: "Only this album is understood by men, and without spending time on publicity, he can quickly become popular all over the Great Zhou." Now all the printing rooms are printing this, and there are various versions, who is not going to make money in the past? ”

"In this, there are also personal problems, such as this album, the court can't help it, but it spreads faster!"

"There are masters in the court!"
