Chapter 117: The Yan Army Goes South, Enters the Night Peach Forest (6.2K words!) )
The sound of the river embankment collapsing shook the world.
The people on the city tower were stunned, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the river embankment.
I saw the water like a tide, like a thousand beasts rushing forward.
The people of Jiujiang Mansion fell into wordless despair under the torrential rain that had fallen again.
If even His Royal Highness the legendary Immortal Taisun can't contain this heavenly difficulty, who can still do it? Who can save them?
Jiujiang Mansion is hopeless.
Seeing that the flood was coming, the prefect Chen Dongyang's eyes were red, he raised his head and pointed to the sky that made the rainstorm rise again, and his forehead was old and green.
"There is no way in the sky, and all the people abandon it!"
This hysterical roar, mixed with indescribable anger, he spent the last of his life in the Jiujiang prefect, and in just a few years, Jiujiang Mansion was governed into a rich enough place to rank among the top five mansions in the Ming Dynasty, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and originally planned to resign and return to the field in two years.
But this flood destroyed his efforts for several years.
This sound of 'Daoless Sky' was also heard by Zhu Xiongying, and the archmage glanced at this Chen Governor's Mansion and wrote down the old man.
Then he looked at the water that had burst the embankment and was surging towards Jiujiang Mansion.
The Heavenly Dog Thief.
Zhu Xiongying glanced at the sky, as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the void.
Those eyes contain 'resentment', 'pride', 'contempt' and a hint of 'jealousy'.
Bang~!
A violent thunder sounded in the sky, and the sky seemed to be provoking Zhu Xiongying and proclaiming his own strength.
Not caring about the thunder in his ears, Zhu Xiongying slowly closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing slightly.
The speed of the water is extremely fast, and the word "thousands of miles" is not an exaggeration when used in the current situation.
From the moment the Xunyang River burst the embankment, the water potential is extremely fast, the distance of dozens of miles, is actually in just a dozen breaths of effort to cross, the water is like a beast that swallows everything, open the mouth of the blood basin and rush straight to Jiujiang Mansion.
This time, after a short period of panic, the people of Jiujiang Mansion did not fall into panic again.
I don't know who started it, but I saw tens of thousands of people in the entire Jiujiang Mansion kneeling on the ground sincerely, looking up at their Royal Highness the Grand Sun, and praying sincerely.
'The power of incense. ’
Zhu Xiongying felt a dark force rising from Jiujiang Mansion and rapidly converging towards him.
This made him abandon his original plan.
Originally, he wanted to use the technique of 'moving mountains' to move the nearest hill to the front of Jiujiang Mansion to block the water, but this operation would destroy the terrain of Jiujiang and leave endless legacy.
If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he wouldn't want to do it.
Zhu Xiongying raised his hand slightly, and the six-foot-six-inch sword of evil punishment appeared in his hand.
Call~!
The body of the evil sword, the blazing flames swirled in an instant.
Zhu Xiongying slowly raised this sword, and the power of the underworld incense gathered from the Jiujiang Mansion was all gathered in the body of the evil sword in his hand.
The big water is on the verge of Jiujiang Mansion.
Million...
Seven thousand zhang...
Three thousand six hundred zhang...
Three hundred and thirty-three zhang...
Only 100 zhang!
When the water rushed to the land outside Jiujiang Mansion, Zhu Xiongying suddenly opened his eyes.
Without the slightest hesitation, the sword in his hand slashed down horizontally in front of him.
The fire-colored sword light pierced the gloomy sky of the rainstorm, and the sword qi came in an instant, falling on the land in front of Jiujiang Mansion.
Rumble!
Where the sword qi slashed, the ground shook violently and suddenly cracked.
I saw a moat that was 100 zhang long and 10 zhang wide, and it was cut out by this sword, and the surging water found the vent and rushed into the moat.
Immediately afterwards, Master Zhu's body was surrounded by black and white thunderstorms, and the thunder in his eyes was yin on the left and yang on the right.
The sword of evil was put away, and the cloud-piercing bow appeared in his hand in an instant.
His eyes looked at the sky, he bent the bow and pulled the string, and the yin and yang thunder instantly converged on the string into three yin and yang thunder arrows.
'Yin and Yang Five Thunder Arrows. ’
'Hugh'!
The bowstring is released.
Three arrows fired at once, piercing the wind and cracking the clouds.
Boom Boom...!
After the arrow entered the black cloud, a violent rumbling sound was heard in the sky.
The Five Thunder Righteous Law is the Divine Law of Stopping Rain.
Just a few breaths later, the torrential rain came to an abrupt end, and the dark clouds in the sky were dispersed in an instant, and the long-lost sunshine was re-revealed over Jiujiang Mansion.
As for the great water of the Xunyang River, which broke the embankment, rushed into the moat, and the water potential could not cross the moat at all, so it naturally could not have an impact on Jiujiang Mansion.
"Sun...!"
"Look, the sun is out!"
The people of Jiujiang Mansion were stunned, bathed in the warm sun, like being reborn after the holiday.
Zhu Xiongying glanced at the people of Jiujiang Mansion who were cheering.
The hundred zhang heavenly moat that was cut out by this sword was not Zhu Xiongying's own strength, but the power of faith of tens of thousands of people in Jiujiang Mansion, he just gathered their power of faith and cut it out with one sword.
To be honest, the power of this sword exceeded Zhu Xiongying's expectations.
Just the power of hundreds of thousands of incense is already so powerful, if it takes time, Zhu Xiongying gathers the power of the entire Ming incense, wouldn't it be an instant rebellion? !
This operation, Zhu Xiongying inexplicably feels a little familiar.
Zhu Xiongying thought about it for a while, and it was similar to the Genki bomb in a certain anime he had watched in the past and the TV series "Lend Me the Light".
'Boom, boom...'
At this moment, there were several muffled noises in the sky.
Zhu Xiongying sounded very interesting about these muffled sounds, which were like the "" after 'making a mistake and being punished'.
'Heaven is merciless. ’
Zhu Xiongying's eyes looked at the sky slightly.
Just now it was actually another game with God, but this time, he felt more and more of God's emotional changes, and from the few muffled sounds just now, he even sensed a 'dissatisfaction' caused by being punished for making mistakes.
Could it be that this dog thief was punished for forcibly breaking the rules?
Because the Five Thunder Fa is a rain suppression technique, in terms of cause and effect, as long as someone succeeds in stopping the rain with the Five Thunder Fa, the rain must be stopped.
But after Zhu Xiongying stopped the rain for the first time, God forcibly resumed the heavy rain, which is tantamount to violating the rules.
If you break the rules, you will be punished.
But what kind of existence is it that can punish the heavens?
And what is it that can make these rules, and even the heavens are bound by them?
Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but be a little curious.
However, since God also acts within the rules, in Zhu Xiongying's opinion, this God is not so mysterious, and it is necessary to replace it.
"Hooray! Banzai!
Hooray!
! ”
Excited, kneeling and bowing.
Among the hundreds of thousands of people in Jiujiang Prefecture, I don't know who was the first to shout, and the rest of the people all followed the mountain to shout.
The sound of long live, like the overwhelming momentum echoing over this Jiujiang Mansion.
If there is a change of dynasty, and there are people of such a scale shouting long live to the prince of the current dynasty, then the prince is likely to be not far from death.
In Zhu's case, however, the situation is very different.
If Lao Zhu in the Forbidden City knew that tens of thousands of people in Jiujiang Mansion supported the imperial grandson like this, I am afraid that even the feet would be happy.
In a burst of mountain shouts, Zhu Xiongying's figure appeared in front of Chen Dongyang, the prefect of Jiujiang.
Old man Chen, who was also very excited, suddenly felt a flicker in front of him, and when he looked at it and found that it was His Royal Highness Taisun standing in front of him, the whole person trembled in an instant, pure excitement.
"Minister, minister Chen Dongyang, Jiujiang, Jiujiang Governor, worship, meet His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson!"
Chen Dongyang was so excited that he stammered a little when he spoke, and hurriedly saluted.
"From now on, I will go to Shandong to announce the political envoy."
Zhu Xiongying glanced at the old man, and just said a word.
"Huh?"
Chen Dongyang was stunned, and the old man didn't react a little.
His Royal Highness Taisun didn't even ask his name, so he let himself be the political envoy of Shandong Chengxuan?
This is a second-grade official, a veritable feudal official!
Just when Chen Dongyang wanted to ask, His Royal Highness the Taisun in front of him had already disappeared.
What about people?
For a while, Chen Dongyang thought that he was hallucinating.
"How can I fantasize about such a thing, an old lake."
Chen Dongyang laughed at himself, he was already at the age of retirement and retirement, how could he be directly promoted from a fourth-grade prefect to a second-rank political envoy.
………………
A quarter of an hour later, Ying Tian Taisun Mansion,
After Zhu Xiongying returned, the first thing he did was to issue an order to promote Chen Dongyang to the post of political envoy of Shandong.
The reason for the promotion is because Chen Dongyang can advance and retreat with the people under his rule in times of crisis.
This alone is to surpass the current Ming bureaucracy.
At this time, Zhu Xiongying was in front of the Guangting of the Hall of Eternal Life.
"Well, to the left, the array flag is a little more straight."
Zhu Xiongying looked at Liu Rixin, who was sweating profusely and concentrating on arranging the formation.
Early this morning, Liu Rixin came to Taisun Mansion and spent a whole morning tinkering in front of the Guangting of the Hall of Eternal Life.
"Your Highness, look, how is this?"
Liu Rixin asked humbly while fiddling with the array flag.
At this time, the little old man of Rixin can be said to be very excited.
He got the opportunity to swallow the Spirit Valley when the Spirit Valley was expanding for the first time, and after listening to Zhu Xiongying's brief introduction to the usefulness of this Spirit Valley, especially after hearing that he could embark on the path of cultivation by obtaining the Spirit Root, the little old man almost turned his head on the spot without excitement.
And after swallowing the Spirit Valley, Liu Rixin also successfully gave birth to the Spirit Root on the third day.
Although he is only a third-grade spiritual root, for Liu Rixin, he is already very satisfied, after all, age is there.
If Liu Rixin was able to take Linggu when he was young, he would at least be a second-grade spiritual root.
After Liu Rixin gave birth to the spiritual root, the thaumaturgy of Qimen Dunjia, Zhu Xiongying taught it to the little old man for the first time, as for how far the little old man can finally cultivate Qimen Dunjia, it depends on the creation of this little old man.
In addition, Zhu Xiongying also taught Liu Rixin the technique of 'calling the wind and calling the rain'.
The reason is simple.
If Zhu Xiongying wants to establish the Heavenly Prison, he needs a person who can be trusted and has the attribute of 'god' in the eyes of the world.
Liu Rixin has traveled all over the world, and he is famous all over the world for his name as a god, and he has been an 'old immortal' in the eyes of the world all his life, so it is naturally most suitable for him to be the first supervisor of the Heavenly Prison.
In addition to institutions such as the Heavenly Prison and the Qiankun Prison, Zhu Xiongying also planned to establish some official training institutions to teach, assist and restrain the cultivators of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the specific institutional functions, Zhu Xiongying is brainstorming every day.
"Well, let's get started."
After Zhu Xiongying saw that Liu Rixin's formation layout was almost the same, he took a few steps back, and then watched Liu Rixin standing in the formation cast his spell with great interest.
The little old man was holding a peachwood sword, and his every move was a replica of Zhu Xiongying's movements at that time, but Zhu Xiongying's performance was called elegant, and Liu Rixin's performance was more like a shriveled thin monkey dancing.
"Thunder!"
With Liu Rixin shouted.
Bang~!
In the sky, there was a thunderclap in response.
"Oh, yes."
There was a hint of appreciation in Zhu Xiongying's eyes.
"Yunqi!"
I saw that there were patches of dark clouds that began to condense, although they were sparse, but they were indeed there.
Liu Rixin in the formation was extremely excited when he saw that there were really dark clouds in the sky.
"The rain is coming!"
I saw Liu Rixin holding a peachwood sword and pointing towards the sky.
This time, however, there was no response.
"The rain is coming!"
Liu Rixin raised his sword and pointed at the sky again, and the dark clouds still did not move, not to mention the rain, not even half a drop of rain.
"Rain... The rain is coming! ”
Dancing again, Liu Rixin blushed, he poured all the thin and pitiful mana in the dantian into the peach wood sword, triggered the formation, and shouted at the sky with his throat open.
Finally, this time the rain came.
I saw that among the dark clouds, there was a small dark cloud that reluctantly rained down 'Ganlin', and the rain covered an area of about one zhang square, which was the position above Liu Rixin's head.
Seeing this, the people in the Taisun Mansion around them all covered their mouths and wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh.
Zhu Xiongying, who was on the side, frowned slightly after reading it.
Obviously, Liu Rixin's operation is not wrong, and the core point lies in the strength of mana.
If the caster's mana is not enough, he will not be able to adjust the rain and the sunshine, and it seems that he will have to wait for a while to set up the Heavenly Prison.
Liu Rixin looked at the small dark cloud in the sky that barely rained, his face was a little embarrassed, he looked at Zhu Xiongying, and scratched his buttocks embarrassedly.
"Your Highness, this rain..."
"Scattered."
Zhu Xiongying said.
In an instant, words are spoken.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed in an instant at the moment when Zhu Xiongying's voice exited, and the small dark cloud that was raining also disappeared.
"What else?"
Zhu Xiongying could see that Liu Rixin had other things to do today.
"Your Highness, the Ministry of Industry has been making the big tripod for more than 20 days and has been cast."
Liu Rixin said repeatedly.
After more than 3,000 craftsmen worked in shifts for more than half a month, and under the sleepless rush to work, this super Danding with a length of ten zhang and a height of ten zhang was finally cast.
"Lone knows."
Zhu Xiongying nodded.
Now that the Danding has been completed, it is time for the refining of the Seven Turns Shenyang Pill to begin.
After speaking, Zhu Xiongying was ready to leave, and then he was going to practice the introduction of the Ten Thousand Swords Returning Sect, and then study Tang Yi's spiritual root.
"Your Highness, the three thousand craftsmen who participated in the casting are waiting for you on the banks of the Qinhuai River, if Your Highness does not show up, these three thousand craftsmen will not leave."
Liu Rixin said in a condensed voice.
This is also human nature, when you pay unimaginable hardships for one thing, you must hope to be recognized by the superiors.
Zhu Xiongying was silent for a moment, he naturally understood.
But it was already very close to the deadline for the mission of Ten Thousand Swords to Return to the Sect, and he really couldn't come in person.
After thinking about it, Zhu Xiongying casually threw out a soybean.
'Bang', I saw that there was a 'person' who was exactly the same as Zhu Xiongying, no matter in terms of appearance, demeanor, or even the depth in his eyes.
"Go to the Qinhuai River, reward the craftsmen on behalf of the orphans, and accept the Danding."
After Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, his figure moved away.
Liu Rixin, who was standing in place, was stunned, looked at the other 'His Royal Highness Taisun' in front of him, and thought to himself that I am a good man, this is also amazing!
………………
Yandi in the north, Yanwangfu.
At this time, in the main hall of the palace, there was a cold and evil atmosphere.
All the generals of the Yan army with more than 1,000 households gathered in the main hall, and everyone was wearing armor and full of fighting spirit.
Zhu Di, the king of Yan, stood in front of the generals, swept past his group of generals, with an extremely cold meaning in his eyes, and even more powerful self-confidence.
Dominate the north and sweep Jinning.
The war in the past half a month has allowed Zhu Laosi to truly experience what is called what is pointed at by the soldiers, and it is devastating.
At this moment, Zhu Laosi summoned the generals of the Yan Army, and naturally he was not idle to gather for tea.
Jing is difficult to write, and the external Xuancheng is April 28 to wave the army south.
But in fact, this is not the case, when the army that conquered Jinning returned to Yan, Zhu Laosi immediately issued a mobilization order to move south, which was a decision jointly agreed upon by Zhu Laosi and Daoyan.
"Break Daning Liaodong in the east, Taiyuan in the west."
"The king knows that you have been very tired all these days."
Zhu Di opened his mouth.
"This king knows what you think, and after returning from a great victory, he should repair for a while."
"But this king tells you that not only you think so, but everyone in the world thinks so, but because of this, this king will immediately send troops to take him by surprise."
"You can also discover these days, the destiny of heaven is in Yan, but whatever my Yan army points to, invincible, this king believes that as long as all the monarchs work together, they will be able to conquer the world in one fell swoop."
"At that time, this king will be shared with you."
When Zhu Di said this, he was very confident.
After all, he has never been so rich in his life, and at present, the Yan army has gathered the soldiers of the six kings, plus the recruits recruited during this time, at this time, Zhu Laosi has an army of 500,000 troops, known as the million Yan army to the outside world.
"The generals obey orders."
Zhu Di shouted.
The generals in the hall were all moving, and their battle armor sounded in unison.
"This time, the Jingnan army is divided into three routes, Zhang Yu is the commander of the left route army, Zhang Fu is the deputy marshal, Qiu Fu is the commander of the right route army, Tan Yuan is the deputy marshal, the prince himself leads the middle route army, Zhu Gaoxu is the vanguard general, and the other generals perform their duties."
Looking at the original historical trajectory, whether it is Zhang Yu or Qiu Fu, they are all famous generals in history, and it is natural for them to be the commanders of the first army.
But there was one person, but he was absent.
From beginning to end, I didn't see Zhu Laosi mention it excessively.
Among the commanders and deputy commanders of the Third Route Army, Zhu Neng's name has not been seen at all, let alone the commander of the First Army, and even a deputy commander has not been mixed.
Even in the hall at this time, Zhu Neng was not seen.
It can be seen that after the first battle in Shandong, this first general who was once in Zhu Laosi's heart has become an abandoned son.
Under military order.
The generals were shocked when they heard this.
"Obey!"
All of them looked excited, and turned around and went to order troops.
Zhu Gaoxu, who received the seal of the pioneer general, was also preparing to leave.
Suddenly, a hand slapped on his shoulder, Zhu Gaoxu was subconsciously stunned, and when he turned around, he saw his father's serious face.
"Daddy."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled, these days of conquest have made his young face slightly vicissitudes, and it is even more full of murderous intent.
Zhu Di's eyes were filled with pity, and he raised his hand to stroke a blood mark on the left side of Zhu Gaoxu's face that had not yet scabbed, which was Zhu Gaoxu's wound by a stray arrow on the battlefield in Liaodi.
"You've worked hard during this time."
"Your mother has blamed me many times, blaming me for letting you charge on the battlefield in person."
Zhu Gaoxu was moved and said continuously.
"For the sake of my father's great cause, these are nothing."
When Zhu Di heard this, he nodded very happily.
"This time, you are the vanguard general, and whether the army can go south smoothly depends on your first battle."
Zhu Gaoxu looked serious, and patted his chest with confidence on his face.
"Rest assured, Dad, the child will not let you down!"
Zhu Laosi then patted Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder again.
"The son of the world is sick, and you should encourage him."
In a word, Zhu Gaoxu's chicken blood skyrocketed.
………………
At night, the stargazing tower of Taisun Mansion.
Zhu Xiongying, who had already completed the cultivation of 'Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect', was preparing to summon Tang Yi to come.
Zhu Xiongying is very interested in this kid's strange spiritual root, it is obviously a fourth-grade spiritual root, but it is not inferior to a first-grade spiritual root in terms of cultivation speed, there must be something strange.
But at this moment, Zhu Xiongying glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a gentle shadow between the peach groves in the garden.
Since he saw the female rolls in the mansion enjoying the flowers in the peach forest when he was practicing 'Li Dai Taozhuang', Zhu Xiongying found that the female rolls in the mansion liked the peach forest, so he ordered someone to plant a piece for play.
In the spring breeze in April, the peach blossoms bloom.
At this time, in the peach forest, the petals flutter with the breeze.
Zhao Linger was dressed in a tulle glass skirt, waist-length green silk casually draped, alone, strolling in the night.
The shadow is like a dream, the petals on her fingertips are light, she looks at the peach branches swaying with the breeze, her eyes are filled with heavy thoughts, and two lines of tears slide from the corners of her eyes, scattered with the petals.
Her home is also like this.
"Homesick?"
The surging voice sounded behind Zhao Ling'er.
Zhao Ling'er's body trembled, and subconsciously turned over, and when she saw that it was Zhu Xiongying, she hurriedly saluted.
"Lone knows that your parents died at the hands of the Annam Hu clan."
Zhu Xiongying said calmly.
After he returned to Yingtian from Yunjiang, he ordered someone to check Zhao Ling'er's family history and knew that Zhao Ling'er was a descendant of the Nanzhao royal family, and the Annan Hu clan killed Zhao Ling'er's entire family in order to curry favor with Si Lunfa.
As soon as she heard the words Annan Hu's words, Zhao Ling'er's fairy and innocent pretty face instantly filled with hatred, she hated that she was not capable of avenging her parents and relatives, and hated that she could only spend her time here all day long.
"Lone promises you, within three months, the Annan Hu clan will be destroyed."
Zhu Xiongying's words made Zhao Ling'er stunned.
She stared at Zhu Xiongying tightly, her eyes were slightly filled with tears, she believed in the words of His Royal Highness Taisun, because this is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful man in the world, and there is no joke.
It's just, she's thinking.
How should I repay this love, and what can I repay now?
Biting her lower lip, Zhao Ling'er pulled the thin belt around her waist, she has been in the Taisun Mansion for some time, Zhao Ling'er Bingxue is smart, and she has heard some unfamiliar terms.
Zhu Xiongying's sword eyebrows furrowed slightly when he saw this, he is a righteous man and a gentleman, and his chivalrous and righteous actions are dictated by his heart, is it for such a reluctant thing? !
In the spring breeze at night, the petals are flying.
After a stick of incense.
"Huh? Peach Blossom Abalone? ”
