287. The storm is coming
Sailing at sea is destined to be lonely.
Compared with the time when I came, this return can be described as a full return.
Several lucky ships were filled with boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, with a total value of about 35 million taels.
These treasures were looted from Toyotomi Hideyoshi and various daimyo of Toei.
As for the royal family, the Jinyi guards dug three feet into the ground, but they didn't find much treasure.
Speaking of which, there are a lot of treasures in this, which have been plundered from the Ming Dynasty by Dongying over the years.
Since the beginning of the Jiajing Dynasty, the Japanese have begun to raid the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty on a large scale, looting treasures, many of whom are samurai under the command of the Dongying Daimyo.
If it weren't for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's large amount of gold and silver for military spending for the Korean War, it is estimated that this amount would have far exceeded this amount.
On the magnificent sea, seagulls flutter their wings.
Lin Mang stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the sea in the distance, and said calmly: "Is there any news from the capital?" ”
Behind him, Tang Qi shook his head and said, "I haven't received a letter yet." ”
"But I've already sent a lot of messages, and in a few days, there should be a letter."
Even the flying eagle carefully domesticated by Jinyiwei is difficult to discern the direction on this sea.
Lin Mang retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Speed up the voyage and rush back as soon as possible." ”
Although he had made a lot of preparations, he was still not at ease in his heart.
……
Jingying Daying.
As night fell, soldiers armed with soldiers constantly patrolled the camp.
A column of soldiers marched through the camp.
At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage slowly approached from a distance.
As soon as the soldier on duty wanted to scold, a hand suddenly stretched out in the carriage and showed the token in his hand.
The moment they saw the token, the soldiers on duty around them lowered their guard and saluted respectfully.
The carriage stopped outside the barracks, and two figures stepped out of it, shrouded in black robes, and their faces covered with hats.
The two black-robed men walked into the camp all the way unimpeded and came to the front of the main general's camp.
Now that the Shenji Battalion has all been transferred to North Korea, there are only a few soldiers in the battalion guarding the ordnance, and there are less than 10,000 soldiers.
However, the establishment of the five military battalions still exists, and the number of soldiers has reached about 70,000.
The two of them came to the tent, and then showed their tokens again.
The candle flame flickered, illuminating the token.
- Jinyi pro-army!
At the moment of seeing this token, the soldier on duty shrank and hurriedly saluted.
This is undoubtedly the best pass.
One of the soldiers respectfully said, "My lord, please allow me to give an opinion to the general." ”
"No need."
The voice coming from under the black robe was slightly hoarse.
Before the soldiers in front of the tent could speak, the two had already entered the tent.
Behind the table in the military tent, there sat a middle-aged man dressed in armor, with the air of a soldier and a resolute face.
It's late at night, but he's still on business.
Seeing the two people who walked into the account, Yao Zongwen frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Who are you, you dare to trespass into the military tent!" ”
The cold momentum pressed towards the two.
Yao Zongwen did not call out for guards.
Since these two people can enter the military tent, no matter what means are used, it makes no sense to shout or not to shout guards.
"General Yao."
As the words sounded, one person slowly reached out and took off the hat above his head.
Yao Zongwen was stunned: "Commander Liu? ”
He recognized the person, the avant-garde commander of the government army, Liu Guanhai.
Except for the Jinyi Guard and the eunuchs in the palace, the people closest to the emperor.
The avant-garde government army was established to protect the emperor's safety.
It was only later that Jinyiwei and Dongchang were established, which made the power of the avant-garde of the government army much less powerful than before, and its power was reduced.
Liu Guanhai smiled and arched his hand: "I've seen General Yao." ”
Yao Zongwen didn't have much smile on his face, he looked at the people around Liu Guanhai, and said coldly: "Commander Liu, I don't know if you visited late at night, but what's the matter?" ”
"Even if you are the commander, you can't trespass on the capital camp, you should understand that this is a serious crime."
Liu Guanhai's attitude towards Yao Zongwen seemed to have been expected, and he said calmly: "Yao Zongwen takes the order!" ”
Yao Zongwen was stunned for a moment.
Divine decree?
Liu Guanhai urged: "General Yao, what are you waiting for?" ”
Yao Zongwen hesitated for a moment, but still knelt down.
Liu Guanhai said: "Passing on Your Majesty's secret decree, Yao Zongwen, the commander of the Fifth Military Battalion, will cooperate with the avant-garde commander of the government army from today onwards, and act according to his orders. ”
Hearing this, Yao Zongwen looked suspicious, looked up at Liu Guanhai, and looked suspicious.
This secret is so strange.
What's more, everyone knows that His Majesty is so young, how could such a will suddenly be heard?
He is a battalion officer of the fifth military battalion, when does he need to listen to the orders of an avant-garde commander of the government army.
Yao Zongwen stood up, shook his head and said, "Commander Liu, I will forgive my fate." ”
"If there is no holy decree and military talisman, no one can mobilize the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp."
Liu Guanhai's tone was slightly cold: "Yao Zongwen, are you trying to resist the decree?" ”
"Now that Your Majesty is being held hostage by the group of thieves of the Jinyi Guard, how to write the holy decree."
Now the Jinyi guards are keeping a close eye on the palace, and the official decree needs to go through the cabinet, and with their ability, it is difficult to do it.
Liu Guanhai snorted coldly: "Could it be that you want to rebel with Jinyiwei?" ”
"I have a secret letter from Your Majesty!"
"Jinyiwei usurped power and took power, Your Majesty wants to put things right this time and regain control of the imperial court."
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Yao Zongwen.
Yao Zongwen reached out and took the letter, opened it and glanced at it.
Child's hole miniature!
A pair of sword eyebrows unconsciously wrinkled together.
The content of the letter is not much, just a few simple lines.
Yao Zongwen's gaze was fixed on the final seal.
It was the emperor's private seal.
This thing can't be faked, and few people dare to forge it.
Yao Zongwen was silent.
Although he has lived in Beijing for a long time, he is not ignorant of the news from the outside world.
Now it is rumored that Wu Anhou had an accident overseas, and the capital is in turmoil.
The news has already reached the camp.
He didn't expect these people to move so quickly.
The smile on Liu Guanhai's face became a little thicker.
Sure enough, the news was not wrong.
Yao Zongwen is an extremely loyal person to the royal family.
The word is true, and so are the letters.
Even this matter, the young Son of Heaven has always been aware.
They are not the only ones who are dissatisfied with Wu Anhou.
It's a pity that their majesty is still too young and stupid.
In a few words, I really believed it stupidly.
Without his secret letter, they would have had to work hard to control the capital camp.
Yao Zongwen put down the letter casually, sighed lightly, a trace of struggle appeared on his face, and said coldly: "I know." ”
……
White Lotus Sect, Chief Rudder.
A majestic momentum suddenly erupted from the forbidden place that had been silent for a long time.
Soar into the sky!
Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi rolled down from above, forming a huge vortex.
Almost at the same time, figures flashed outside the forbidden land.
The White Lotus Holy Envoy was pleasantly surprised: "The sect leader is finally out of the customs? ”
A terrifying wave of air swept over like a mountain of seas.
The three of them took a few steps back in unison.
A look of horror appeared on his face.
"What a terrible power!"
After a while, the vitality of heaven and earth dissipated, and the White Lotus Holy Mother, dressed in a white Taoist robe and exuding a holy aura all over her body, floated out.
The three of them hurriedly knelt on the ground, their faces full of joy, and said respectfully: "Congratulations to the sect leader for getting out!" ”
Our Lady of the White Lotus bowed slightly, and the whole person faintly merged with the surrounding heaven and earth, and said, "Our plan can begin." ”
The three people who knelt on the ground immediately showed joy.
They can't wait.
Our Lady of the White Lotus looked into the distance with her deep gaze and asked, "Is there any news of that Wu'an Hou now?" ”
White Lotus Holy Envoy: "No. ”
"It's a pity." The Holy Mother of the White Lotus shook her head with emotion and said softly, "Now it seems that he is indeed dead. ”
I haven't shown up for nearly half a year, which is too long, and I think something really happened.
But even if this Wu Anhou is alive, she is not afraid.
The childless mother is too strong!
Just a body, it still retains such terrifying power.
If it weren't for the fact that her Yuan Shen was too weak, she would have been able to be promoted to the Three Heavenly Realms this time.
She and her mother's cultivation method is in the same line, and the White Lotus Sect is already good at empowerment, and the two merge extremely quickly.
Even so, relying on this body, her strength was far superior to that of ordinary powerhouses in the Heavenly Two Realms.
As for the disadvantages of not being able to ascend, she never considered it.
Our Lady of the White Lotus, who had gained great power at the beginning, was extremely inflated.
Our Lady of the White Lotus commanded: "Go down and prepare, this seat still needs to go to the Western Regions." ”
After such a long time, it is time for the bald donkey of the Western Regions Tantra to regain its strength.
……
Wudang, back mountain.
Zhang Sanfeng sat on the top of the mountain, closed his eyes and said nothing.
Around it, there are transparent ripples, slowly spreading.
In an instant, the dead wood is spring.
The flowing river suddenly froze.
After a long time, Zhang Sanfeng opened his eyes, frowned, and stared at the sky.
The figure flashed, and soon came to a Taoist temple.
With a move, the power of heaven and earth surged from all directions, and the entire hall seemed to be cut off from the surrounding heaven and earth.
The original clay statue of the god was now emitting a surging light.
There was a gleam in his eyes.
Zhang Sanfeng was puzzled: "What happened to make you appear at such a great cost." ”
Suddenly, an old voice came from the idol: "We can't hold on anymore." ”
"I'm afraid this big array won't last long, how sure are you?"
Zhang Sanfeng frowned slightly, and said in surprise: "What's the matter?" ”
"Heaven and earth are chaotic, someone is deliberately destroying the big array, and in the last few days, for some reason, the power of the big array has weakened a lot."
Zhang Sanfeng said to himself: "Could it be because of ...... Lin Mang? ”
During this period of time, it was rumored throughout the world that Lin Mang had an accident overseas, causing people's hearts to be in turmoil.
Killings occur in various parts of the country.
He didn't expect that this matter would also affect the Great Array.
For a while, Zhang Sanfeng also felt helpless in his heart.
I didn't expect this guy's prestige in the hearts of the people of the world to be so deep that he could cause turmoil in the hearts of the people.
Of course, there are also reasons for the wars in various places.
Although it was resolved in a timely manner, it seems that it still affected the big array.
"Lin Mang?"
The voice in the idol was surprised, "Who is this person?" ”
Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile: "A newly promoted Tongtian Realm powerhouse, he has a very strong talent. ”
"New to the Heavenly Realm?"
"Has there been a new realm of heaven in this world?"
"But why haven't I heard of it?"
The voice in the idol was full of doubt.
In his impression, there is no such person in the rivers and lakes in the past two hundred years.
Zhang Sanfeng didn't know how to answer for a while, and asked instead: "Do you know who destroyed the big array?" ”
"I don't know!"
"That power is hard to come by."
"I urgently called you today, and I also want you to be prepared in your heart."
"In the last Dao Buddha dispute, we were already suspicious, I'm afraid there is a third force involved, you need to be careful."
Zhang Sanfeng's face was solemn, and he nodded: "I'll be careful." ”
The light on the idol gradually dissipated.
Looking at the statue in the hall, Zhang Sanfeng sighed softly, turned around and walked out of the main hall.
……
Time passed day by day.
The turmoil in the capital has suddenly subsided in the past few days.
But behind this calm, there seems to be a bigger storm hidden.
Chengguo Mansion,
In the lobby of the backyard, a group of people gathered.
Among these people, there are generals of the palace guards, as well as relatives, as well as civil officials of various ministries.
Zheng Chengxian sat on the top, slapped the secret report in his hand on the table, got up and looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "News has come from Banzhou, and in a few days, the news of the Banzhou rebellion will come, and the capital will surely fall into greater turmoil at that time." ”
"At that time, even if Jinyiwei really had a backhand, he had to make a move."
"Jinyiwei usurped power and held His Majesty hostage, we must support Sheji and restore the Ming Dynasty."
Since ancient times, it has been important for a teacher to be famous.
Lin Mang is the auxiliary minister appointed by His Majesty and the Queen Mother, as everyone knows today, it is difficult to be convincing to say that he usurped power.
can only use Jinyiwei as an excuse, so it is the best.
Zheng Chengxian straightened his clothes and said seriously: "Everyone, success or failure is here." ”
