Dongying, the mountain of immortality.

This place was later known as Mt. Fuji.

However, there are not many cities around the volcano today, and it is even less inaccessible.

But on the top of this volcano, there is a magnificent palace.

The style of the whole palace is extremely retro, and it is not the style of Dongying.

Occasionally, the sunlight refracts down, revealing the full view of the palace.

The palace hovers above the crater and is surrounded by a transparent shroud.

If you look at it from the bottom of the mountain, it is difficult to see the traces of the palace, and it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

At this time, in the palace, a man in a black robe with a tiger's back crushed the information in his hand, his sunken eye sockets showed a touch of ruthlessness, and his heavy snort was like a beast.

It took a long time for the expression on his face to calm down.

Then he got up from his chair and walked into the depths of the palace.

The heavy palace gate was slowly pushed open, and in the center of the palace, a huge ice crystal stood several feet high.

The entire palace was filled with a cold mist, and the walls were surrounded by a thick layer of frost.

It was obviously built on the top of a volcano, but the inside of this palace is exceptionally cold.

The moment the door was pushed open, the cold air in the hall collided with the scorching air waves outside the hall, and countless white mist evaporated.

Through the ice crystals, a figure could be faintly seen frozen in it.

It's just that the ice crystals are too thick to see the whole picture.

The black-robed man stopped outside the hall for a while, and then walked into the hall and came to Xuan Bing.

"Master!"

The black-robed man saluted respectfully and said softly, "The plan of the Buddha Gate has failed. ”

"That young man from Daming is not only not dead, but also broke out of the secret realm."

"His strength seems to have reached a terrible level."

"I don't dare to show my traces easily, for fear of being discovered by him."

The black-robed man bowed respectfully to the figure inside the ice.

Suddenly, the figure inside the ice crystal seemed to open its eyes.

The cold mist that overflowed from the palace condensed in mid-air in an instant.

The black-robed man was not afraid, but his face showed joy, and he said in surprise: "Master, are you awake?" ”

A dull and slightly hoarse voice sounded in the main hall:

"It was a bit of a surprise to me, I didn't expect him to survive."

"So, Xu Qingning is also dead?"

The black-robed man said respectfully: "There is no news of him so far, so I think it should be." ”

"Master, the secret book you left in the hall is missing, and the disciple guesses that it should have been stolen by him."

"I just don't know if this secret book was obtained by that Wu Anhou."

The figure inside the ice crystal was silent for a long time.

After a long time, he said: "This seat has sensed that the secret realm has been destroyed, and the mark on the secret book has not been destroyed, so it should not have been obtained." ”

"It's a pity."

"If the people of Buddhism can get out of the secret realm, there will definitely be another battle between Dao and Buddha."

"My strength has not yet recovered, and it will take some time, so it is not appropriate to make a move."

"But now that the chaos has appeared, this person who kills the people of the Buddha Sect will definitely attract the strong people of the Buddha Gate, and they will not be willing to live in the secret realm."

"Xianzhen, you take someone to the Central Plains and find a way to destroy the big array."

The black-robed man hesitated, "Master, if I leave here......"

"No problem!"

The figure inside Xuan Bing said calmly, "I will sink this place back into the secret realm." ”

"Disciple understood!"

The black-robed man respectfully responded, turned around and walked out of the main hall.

……

Capital

Recently, the capital has become more and more turbulent.

There used to be the restraint of Jinyiwei, and once any person in the rivers and lakes entered Beijing, even if there was a battle of words, they would not face each other with swords.

They were very restrained from each other, because no one wanted to be caught in prison by the Jinyi Guard.

However, in the past half a month, there have often been armed fights and battles in the capital.

Many gangs were wiped out overnight.

Everyone is at risk!

This is undoubtedly a provocation to Jinyiwei.

Even though the Jinyi Guard killed hundreds of people one after another with thunderous means, this move did not frighten them, but became more rampant.

It has been five months since Wu'anhou left Beijing.

On the rivers and lakes, the news about Wu Anhou's accident overseas has completely spread all over the world.

Without Wu Anhou's Jinyi Guard, in the eyes of the people of the rivers and lakes, although there is a deterrent, it has long been incomparable.

Or rather, these things are more like they are done on purpose.

North Town Fusi,

Looking at the report in his hand, Yan Jue said in a deep voice: "How many cases is this?" ”

Below, Li Zongyi's face was ugly, and he said in a low voice: "One hundred and thirty-four." ”

"Today we have two more brothers!"

I don't know how long this has happened.

In addition to the destruction of Shaolin and the participation in the Ningxia Rebellion, Jinyiwei has never suffered such a big loss.

"Your Excellency!"

"Isn't there any news yet?"

Yan Jue glanced up at him, and said in a calm tone, "What do you want to ask?" ”

Li Zongyi was silent for a moment and asked, "Xia Guan just wants to know if something really happened to Master Hou." ”

"And then?" Yan Jue looked playful and asked rhetorically, "Change the master, right?" ”

Li Zongyi was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I am also thinking about my brothers. ”

"Your Excellency should be aware of the struggle in the court, and no one will be spared."

"It's been getting cooler lately."

Yan Jue glanced at Li Zongyi deeply, and said, "I have thought about many people, but I never thought that you would say this. ”

"Master Hou treats you well."

"I know!" Li Zongyi arched his hand and said: "So the lower official just wants to ask, did Master Hou really have an accident?" ”

Regarding the secret reports overseas, only Yan Jue knew about the entire Jinyi Guard.

This is a very special messaging channel.

It is only in the hands of Yan Jue.

Yan Jue shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Li Zongyi looked at Yan Jue and didn't say a word, and after a long time, he said, "My lord, don't you think about yourself?" ”

"Consider what?" Yan Jue sneered: "Don't forget, what have you and I done. ”

"This official has everything he has today, all because of Master Hou."

"Since Lord Hou handed over the Nanbei Town Fu Division to me for management, I can't live up to Lord Hou's trust."

Li Zongyi arched his hand and said: "The lower officials have not forgotten, but the lower officials are loyal to only the Hou Ye." ”

"Alright." Yan Jue raised his hand to interrupt him, and his tone was a little colder: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and this official is not willing to force it." ”

"But if you betray Lord Hou, don't blame the official for cleaning up the portal."

He understood what Li Zongyi meant.

He is not a Hou Ye, and with his prestige, he is not enough to control the entire Jinyi Guard.

In the entire Jinyi Guard, the vast majority of people are only loyal to the Hou Ye.

At the beginning, Jinyi Wei was able to rebel with Hou Ye and dare to enter the palace, but he did not have this prestige.

Hou Ye is alive, they can go to work hard, because they don't have to worry about what happens after death, but once Hou Ye really has an accident, it is inevitable that someone will have a mind.

Hou Ye is here, no one dares to target Jinyiwei, and once Hou Ye is not there, what happened in the capital now is a living example.

It is impossible for him to take down Li Zongyi with just a few words.

He is not the Hou Ye, and if he does this, it will inevitably lead to the detachment of his subordinates.

Yan Jue said coldly: "Today's words, when Hou Ye comes back, you can explain it to Hou Ye in person." ”

Li Zongyi's face was expressionless.

For Yan Jue's words, it is undeniable.

Come back?

Can Master Hou come back?

Li Zongyi arched his hand and said: "The lower official retired." ”

……

Outside the city,

Zheng Chengxian sat on the side, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and smiled with a smile on his face: "Now Jinyiwei is no longer skilled." ”

"Seeing them like this now, I am so happy in my heart!"

"This group of executioners also has today."

Once they were pressed by Jinyiwei and couldn't raise their heads, and when they saw Jinyiwei, they all had to be spared, but they didn't expect feng shui to take turns.

"No!"

"That's not enough!"

Zhu Ying, who was sitting on the top seat, shook his head and smiled: "This is not enough, this fire has to be burned a little stronger." ”

"Let those Jianghu people force Jinyiwei again, and force all the Jinyiwei's heritage out."

"Now the power of Jinyiwei cannot be underestimated."

Although Wu Anhou is dead, no one dares to guarantee that Wu Anhou has left any behind.

If there really is something to do, and they act rashly, will they not suffer?

Since this group of Jianghu people is making trouble, it is the best.

The turmoil in the capital did have their instructions at first, but what happened later had nothing to do with them at all.

Over the years, Jinyi Wei has oppressed the rivers and lakes too hard, and many people in the rivers and lakes are holding back a wave of anger in their hearts.

Wu Anhou was here, they could only shrink honestly, and now that they learned that Wu Anhou had an accident, they naturally couldn't help it.

They are all old foxes who are messing around in the court, and they are naturally very cautious.

Without complete certainty, they won't make a move lightly.

Zheng Chengxian said in a deep voice: "Once we start an incident, we must first control the palace and the Beijing camp outside the city. ”

Although there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses left in the Beijing camp now, these 100,000 people have been fighting in the south and the north in recent years, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary soldiers.

And the twenty-four guards guarding the palace are even more elite, and it is difficult to break through the palace by relying only on their strength.

"In addition, it is necessary to control the gates of the four places to prevent foreign generals from entering King Jingqin."

Zhu Yingpuppet nodded and said, "The garrison generals of the South City Gate are my relatives, so you don't have to worry about the South Gate, and the North City garrison is from the Wei State Mansion, which is a bit troublesome." ”

"The most troublesome thing is Xicheng, this person is from the Wu'an Hou family, and he has to be disposed of as soon as possible."

In this capital, the various national governments are undoubtedly an extremely large force.

The people of their family spread out and occupied many important positions.

Zheng Chengxian said in a low voice: "I have contacted my relatives, and they will be in charge of Xicheng when the time comes." ”

If you talk about hatred, the hatred of the entire relatives for Lin Mang is undoubtedly the greatest.

If it weren't for the fall of the Marquis of Wu Qing, the relatives would not have been so downcast.

Zhu Yingjun suddenly asked, "Is there any news from the people who contacted the White Lotus Sect?" ”

Zheng Chengxian shook his head and said, "The White Lotus Sect has not yet given an answer. ”

"Humph!" Zhu Ying snorted coldly and sneered: "This group of despicable guys just wants to take the opportunity to ask for more benefits." ”

"However, this plan really needs the cooperation of the White Lotus Sect."

"Whatever they want, they can agree to it for the time being, as long as this matter is completed, they will naturally lose their use value."

He didn't take the White Lotus Sect to heart.

Although the White Lotus Cult often rebelled, it rarely succeeded.

In the hearts of these court officials, the Jianghu people have always been looked down upon by them.

Zhu Yingfu raised his glass and smiled: "I wish our plan a success in advance." ”

"Haha!"

Zheng Chengxian laughed, raised his glass and said, "Replace wine with tea!" ”

……

An edict spread all over the East.

Empress Yang Cheng of Dongying Tian announced her self-surrender status, accepted the canonization of the Ming court, became the king of faint, and served the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, and paid tribute from generation to generation.

In this edict, many of his own and Toyotomi Hideyoshi's crimes were listed.

Although he had never heard of any of these charges.

This title is undoubtedly extremely insulting.

As soon as the edict of Houyang Cheng came out, the entire Dongying was in an uproar again.

Unlike Toyotomi Hideyoshi's descending letter, Goyosei, as Emperor Toei, is more orthodox in identity.

The most important thing is that Hou Yangcheng has surrendered himself to the king, and from now on, he will completely lose the orthodox identity of the royal family.

In the past, the emperor was orthodox and a representative of the gods, and he had a very high prestige in the hearts of the people of Toei, even Toyotomi Hideyoshi could not overthrow him, and his identity as a white person had to be canonized in the name of the imperial family.

But from now on, the prestige of the royal family will be lost.

Dongying will also fall into turmoil again, and the princes will be divided.

As this edict spread throughout Dongying, it also announced that the unprecedented great change in Dongying had finally come to an end.

But the fear of this turmoil is a nightmare that lingers throughout the people of Dongying.

The three words "Wu'an Hou" are also completely famous in Dongying, a person who is now called "God" by the people of Dongying.

This person who crossed the sea and made the whole Dongying desperate.

made the Dongying royal family, which already existed in name only, completely go to ruin.

The streets of Kyoto are still depressed, and there are hardly many people to be seen.

There was still a little blood on the street.

When a samurai saw a brocade guard riding a horse on the street, he retreated in fright, and his face was frightened.

The fear of Jinyiwei seems to have been rooted in their hearts, and the fear comes from the bottom of their hearts.

During this time, it was not that there were no Dongying samurai who tried to resist, and there were even many Dongying sect masters, but in the end, it was the killing of Emperor Dongying.

Imperial Palace,

In the book pavilion, Lin Mang flipped through the books in his hand and frowned slightly.

Although the royal family has always existed in name only, some books are still preserved.

In addition to some martial arts cheats, there are also many records of ancient historical books.

He came here to read something, but he didn't get much.

Although there was a long speculation, it was inevitable to feel disappointed.

Because of the particularity of the secret realm, even if that guy is really alive, he may not be able to find it.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.

Tang Qi walked into the hall and arched his hand: "Master Hou, according to your orders, all those Dongying warriors have been secretly resolved. ”

Lin Mang put the book in his hand back on the shelf and said suddenly: "Did the letter from North Korea be delivered?" ”

Tang Qi said respectfully: "It's already on the way." ”

"Did that Hou Yangcheng make any moves?"

Tang Qi shook his head and said, "I've been very honest recently. ”

Lin Mang turned around and smiled: "This guy doesn't look like an honest person. ”

It's nothing more than a pitiful self-esteem.

"But it doesn't matter, his value is almost over."

"Those Dongying daimyo should have received the edict of canonization, right?"

Tang Qi nodded and hesitated: "Master Hou, my subordinates don't understand, why do you want to give them knighthoods?" ”

"Canonization?" Lin Mang glanced back at him and chuckled, "Is there His Majesty's Great Seal on it?" ”

Tang Qi was stunned.

Lin Mang said as he walked: "Let them fight by themselves." ”

"When they're almost done, just clean it up again."

Without the royal family, everyone wants to be the king and hegemon, and infighting cannot be avoided.

Dongying has already suffered heavy losses after this incident, and if it falls into internal fighting again, it will be even more chaotic.

Figures like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, throughout history, are very rare.

Lin Mang stood in front of the palace gate, overlooking the entire imperial palace, and said calmly: "Let's go!" ”

"It's time for us to go back, too."

……

A few days later, in a port in Dongying, warships flying the Ming flag unfurled their sails.

"Anchor!"

"Left full rudder!"

"The wind is normal, sail at full speed!"

On the main battle ship, the flag bearer roared and waved the flag in his hand, conveying orders.

With the wave of the flag, one after another the warships set sail and sailed away from the harbor like a storm of wind and waves.
