Chapter 305: The Puppet is not guilty of his crimes
In the eighth year of Qingli, early winter.
The rebellion of the Marquis of Chengyang, who shocked the world, came to an end.
The Marquis of Chengyang, who had resisted stubbornly for several months, fought to the death with a group of henchmen in Linjiang City, and finally committed suicide by running 3,000 miles.
At this point, the Chengyang army was dispersed.
The three land immortals of the White Lotus Sect, who had the name of the Three Sages of the White Lotus, personally went down to the battlefield and quickly gathered the remnants of the White Lotus Sect's army, retreated to the north of Yunzhou, and returned to the base camp of the White Lotus Sect.
The imperial court troops were divided into three routes and hundreds of thousands of troops swept through the three states of Yunliangqing and Qing, constantly encircling and suppressing the remnants of the rebels, and at the same time, departed most of the army to advance towards the northern border of Yunzhou, vowing to completely destroy the White Lotus Sect.
However, when the imperial army rushed to the north, it encountered the stubborn resistance of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect was deeply rooted in the north of Yunzhou, and it coincided with the beginning of winter, the early snow in Yunzhou, and it was a little difficult to completely recover the north.
The great war has started again,
Ji Fu lived up to the name of the god of war, commanded several major battles in a row, and directly fought the White Lotus Sect without any temper, the imperial army continued to advance, and the White Lotus Sect sent envoys to talk.
The northern border of Yunzhou, the imperial court barracks.
In a camp tent, there was a large group of people, all of whom were high-level officials who participated in all aspects of the war to recover Yunzhou, including the military, Qin Tianjian, and the six departments of the imperial court.
At this time, sitting on the main seat was a white-haired old man, with a stern face and a suit of armor, just sitting there, he was not angry and arrogant, forming a strong sense of oppression.
This person is Ji Fu, the commander of the Yunzhou battlefield this time.
In addition to being the prince of the country, this Ji Fu is also from the current royal family Ji clan, and this time, he will be in charge, which is also the result of the game between all parties.
At the bottom left of Ji Fu is a handsome middle-aged man, who looks a little gloomy, this person is the prison army - Pingjin Marquis Lu Chang.
The identity of Lu Chang, the Marquis of Pingjin, is not simple, he is not only the nephew of the contemporary queen mother, but also the brother of the current queen, known as Uncle Lu Guo, and the head of the Lu family, one of the three major gate valves today.
And the first one on the right is Yunzhou Qintian Supervisor Zheng Qin You.
Speaking of which, although Qin You's status is not low, he is not a little worse in front of these two, but because of the success of the plan between death, everyone knows that Qin You, who is the executor, must be in full swing in the future, and there are even rumors that the emperor is already preparing to let Qin You return to Beijing to serve as the chief lieutenant, ranking as the third duke.
At this time, in addition to these three, there are some officials in this camp, all of whom are people with very high status, and, without exception, they are all the henchmen of these three people.
Ji Fu looked at a letter on the table and said, "You've all read it, right?"
Overseer Lu Chang nodded slightly and said, "The White Lotus Sect is willing to withdraw from the northern border, but the imperial court needs to give them 100,000 mountains as a place to settle down."
"I think they're just fools!" Ji Fu snorted coldly and said, "The encirclement and suppression of the White Lotus Sect more than ten years ago allowed them to escape, and this time they still want to rub their noses and face to negotiate directly, they are also worthy?"
There was silence in the tent, and no one spoke.
Ji Fu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What, do you have any other ideas?"
There was still silence in the tent.
After a long while, Qin You smiled helplessly, and arched his hand towards Ji Fu and Lu Chang: "Grandpa, Hou Ye, one of you is now a marshal and the other is a prison army, this kind of frustrating words that offend people can only be said by this official."
While speaking, Qin You glanced around at everyone and said, "White Lotus Sect's proposal, we must consider it, although our army is now overwhelmed, but the treasury can no longer afford to spend too much time.
No matter what the reason, Yunzhou has been fighting for three years, and this year it is the war in the three states of Yunliang and Qingqing, and the imperial court can no longer bear it, and at the moment, it seems that the White Lotus Sect is losing and retreating, but we all know that the White Lotus Sect still has the Three Sages of the White Lotus, and if we really want to gnaw it down, we may have to lose our teeth.
Second, our immediate priority now is to recover it as soon as possible
Yunliangqing Sanzhou, taking advantage of the serious losses of the Ling family and Dugu Valve, we will restore all kinds of order in the three states as soon as possible, if it is a long time, no one dares to guarantee that the Northern Wei and Southern Jin Dynasty will not truce to attack us,
We have limited time, and we have been preparing for so many years to recover the three states before we found this opportunity, once the Northern Wei and Southern Jin armistice are armistice, they will take advantage of the emptiness of the three states of Yunliang and Qing to make a move, so it is the best choice not to continue to fight with the White Lotus Sect.
Although the 100,000 Mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack, their own resources are also limited, even if they have the heart, it is difficult to gain momentum, not to mention, what we need is time, until the three states are completely pacified, the White Lotus Sect will not have a chance to set off storms."
In the tent, there were whispers for a while.
Seeing this, Qin You smiled helplessly,
In fact, none of the people here are stupid people, they all know the current situation, and the imperial court does not have much energy and time to defeat the White Lotus Sect.
It's just that no one wants to say it.
This decision, when he returned to Kyoto, would inevitably be criticized by the Manchu civil and military forces.
However, Qin You doesn't care,
Qin Tianjian enjoys the position of supervising hundreds of officials, so he has naturally offended countless people, and he has been abused by the court for a long time over the years, and he is used to it.
After a bit of talking,
Ji Fu said in a deep voice, "Lord Qin, you are very thoughtful, but there is a problem."
Qin You arched his hand and said, "Please ask Grandpa for advice."
Ji Fu said slowly, "Speaking of which, this matter is also caused by your mistakes, Lord Qin......
Hearing this, Qin You instantly reacted and said, "Grandpa is talking about Yunhou Gu Chop?"
Ji Fu nodded slightly, and said, "In order to cooperate with your plan, the imperial court gave that Gu the name of Yunhou, the post of general of the town army, originally, I thought at the time, there was only a martial artist at the peak of martial arts, and he had a name, and it had no impact, but now, who would have thought that he would break the limit of martial arts and directly take down the entire Yunxi.
Although he hasn't recruited many troops yet, it is difficult for anyone to meddle in the affairs of Yunxi simply by virtue of his influence in the rivers and lakes of Yunxi, and the 100,000 mountains are in his hands, and now he wants to throw the 100,000 mountains to the White Lotus Sect, can he agree? In addition, I'm afraid that this Yunhou will also have a grudge against the imperial court?"
Qin You chuckled lightly and said, "What Grandpa said is reasonable, this matter is indeed a miscalculation by the official, I didn't expect that someone would really be able to break the limit of martial arts, but because of this, we need to hand over the 100,000 mountains to the White Lotus Sect."
Ji Fu frowned slightly and said, "What do you say?"
"Checks and balances," Qin You said, "Don't talk about Yunxi, now the entire Yunzhou can't find anyone who can check and balance Gu Slash, now, although he doesn't have any thoughts, it's hard to guarantee that he won't have other thoughts in the future!"
Therefore, it is not a bad thing to let the White Lotus Sect enter the 100,000 Great Mountain, the White Lotus Sect has different intentions, which is well known to everyone, and Gu Shu, as the Marquis of Yun, must be on guard against the White Lotus Sect for a long time, so as to form a check and balance."
At this moment, Lu Chang, the Marquis of Pingjin, who had not spoken, said slowly, "Lord Qin, have you ever thought about what if Gu Chu also had a different heart and cooperated with the White Lotus Sect?"
Suddenly, in the tent, the atmosphere became a little depressing, and many people showed unnatural looks on their faces.
Now Gu Chu is famous all over the world and is in the limelight, since he killed the old Heavenly Master and Wei Wuya, he has changed from the first grandmaster in the world to the first in the world.
In this case, if Gu Chu is a separatist party and cooperates with the White Lotus Sect, the trouble it will bring is no less than that of the Marquis of Chengyang, and it is even more than that, it is simply a matter of raising tigers.
Qin You smiled slightly and said, "This is the follow-up arrangement of this official, you have never gotten along with this Yunhou, so you don't know this person's character.
This Gu Chop, stubborn and self-serving, so happy, arrogant, and very arrogant, everyone has heard of them, and he also has a character, that is, he will repay and kill everything.
For his character, as long as he has a great enmity with the White Lotus Sect, there will be nothing left
If you can cooperate with the White Lotus Sect, only you can live or die."
Ji Fu's eyes lit up and asked, "What is Lord Qin going to do?"
Qin You said slowly: "Directly inform Gu Chu of the White Lotus Sect's request for 100,000 mountains, and then ask him to come to the north to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect, he has two choices, one is to come, and the other is to find an excuse and not come.
If he comes, then let him take the position of the general of the town army and lead the army to fight against the White Lotus Sect, and in the process, whether he will have a mortal enmity with the White Lotus Sect is up to us......
Specifically, Qin You did not elaborate,
However, everyone present could understand that even if Gu Chu and the White Lotus Sect were restrained, they could secretly promote some mortal feuds, such as letting people close to Gu Chu die at the hands of the White Lotus Sect.
Qin You continued: "This battle, we only need to make a truce in the name of the overwhelmed imperial court after Gu Chu and the White Lotus Sect have formed a mortal enmity, unless Gu Chu can provoke the White Lotus Sect alone, otherwise, he can only let the White Lotus Sect enter the 100,000 Great Mountain."
After a pause, Qin You said again: "If he doesn't come, we can openly let the White Lotus Sect enter the 100,000 Great Mountain, Gu Shu can't find any reason to come and make trouble, after all, it was he who didn't come, we failed to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, and unfortunately let the White Lotus Sect enter the 100,000 Great Mountain.
As for the White Lotus Sect's entry into the 100,000 Great Mountain, with Gu Xuan's arrogant and domineering character, he only needs to let them have some conflicts, and the situation of not ending up is easy to contribute."
After that, Qin You arched his hand towards Ji Fu and Lu Chang and said, "Two, to sum up, letting the White Lotus Sect enter the 100,000 Great Mountains is indeed a good thing to have the best of both worlds, first, it can quell the rebellion in Yunliangqing Sanzhou as soon as possible, and now there are still so many rebels in Qingzhou and Liangzhou, just because the White Lotus Sect has not been completely defeated, they are still lucky, as long as the White Lotus Sect is completely defeated and Yunliangqing Sanzhou is calmed, order can be restored quickly."
The second is to check and balance Gu Chop, Gu Chop this son, it is indeed a big trouble, and the official did not expect him to be able to have such an achievement, quite a bit of the meaning of raising tigers, but fortunately, this son is only a puppet after all, and when Sanzhou is pacified, he will not have a chance to set off any more storms!"
And all the people in the tent began to discuss,
After a while, almost all of them agreed with Qin You's decision.
It's just that Qin You still frowned, looked at Ji Fu and Lu Chang, and arched his hand: "Right now, the official has only one doubt, and I hope that the grandfather and the marquis can give the official guidance."
Ji Fu and Lu Chang glanced at each other,
Ji Fu said, "Lord Qin, please ask!"
Qin You looked left and right at the others.
Ji Fu and Lu Chang also understood what Qin Yu meant, so they ordered everyone to leave the camp.
In the camp tent, only Qin You, Ji Fu, and Lu Chang were left.
Qin You arched his hand and said, "This official's doubts involve the secret of the Cave Heaven, so you need to shield others."
Qin You took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, Lord Hou, this official knows that the land immortals of the Cave Heaven Realm are restricted, so they are generally not in the world, but Gu Shu has no restrictions, and besides, he has already killed three land immortals, even if he is head-on, he has also killed two land immortals, and one of them is said to be a land immortal who has lifted the restriction of the cave sky, so, I want to ask, is this Gu Chop, is it really invincible in the world!"
Ji Fu and Lu Chang glanced at each other, and both of them chuckled.
Ji Fu looked at Qin You and said, "Well, with Lord Qin's merits to the court now, it doesn't matter if I tell you something about the Cave Heaven."
Qin You arched his hand and said, "Please also ask your grandfather for advice."
Ji Fu said slowly, "The world only knows that above the top grandmaster is the land immortal of the Cave Heaven Realm, but few people know that the Cave Heaven Realm is also divided into strong and weak realms, and the difference between each realm is very large.
The Cave Heaven Realm is divided into five realms, known as the Five Realms of the Cave Heaven, and the three land immortals killed by Gu Shu are only the lowest realm in the Cave Heaven Realm, of course, being able to kill land immortals also shows that Gu Shu is indeed extraordinary, but if he is the first in the world, he is sitting in a well and watching the sky!"
Lu Chang nodded and said, "Don't talk about the rest, let's just say that Gu Slash fought twice, whether it was the Old Heavenly Master or Wei Wuya, neither the Great Divine Power nor the Great Divine Power of the Sword King City was lost, or the two of them didn't learn it, if the two of them used the Great Divine Power, Gu Slash really didn't have a chance to achieve the so-called No. 1 name in the world."
Qin You suddenly asked, "What realm of land immortals are the Three Saints of the White Lotus?"
Ji Fu said slowly, "The Three Saints of the White Lotus are all land immortals of one realm and two realms, but the White Lotus Sect still has a heritage, that is, the legendary White Lotus Heavenly Mother!"
Qin You was taken aback and said in surprise, "White Lotus Heavenly Mother? How could she still be alive, wasn't she someone from more than three hundred years ago?"
Ji Fu nodded and said, "This is what the Huaisu Divine Monk of the Guangming Temple told me, he said that the White Lotus Holy Mother has always been alive, and the White Lotus Sect has been controlled by the White Lotus Holy Mother for more than two hundred years, as for why she can live so long, no one knows, according to records, the longest-lived land immortal is only more than two hundred and forty years old, but if this White Lotus Holy Mother is really alive, it will be a little terrifying!"
Qin You frowned slightly, and said, "Is this the reason why the imperial court has not destroyed the White Lotus Sect?"
Ji Fu shook his head and said, "This is not the point, the main reason is that the land immortals are not easy to kill, you don't want to be misled by Gu slashing the land immortals, under normal circumstances, the land immortals are difficult to kill."
In addition, there are restrictions on land immortals, and few people are willing to fight to the death, such as the three saints of the White Lotus now, there are also several land immortals in our army, and there is also a Huaisu monk from the Guangming Temple, this is a land immortal of the three realms.
But he didn't dare to trespass into the army to kill the land immortals, and he didn't know how long he would fight, and if he didn't pay attention to it and entered a restricted state, it was very likely that he would be directly surrounded and killed by the army."
Qin You took a deep breath and said, "That...... Gu Qi's method of seeing the gods and Wei Wuya's new method of the Cave Heaven ......"
Ji Fu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Now, these two methods are actually in the hands of Gu Shu, that is, this time is just because of the Three States War......
Qin You groaned, "What does Grandpa mean?"
Lu Chang, the Marquis of Pingjin, who didn't speak much, chuckled: "The husband is not guilty, it's just that he is guilty, now after all, it is the Great War of the Three States, and Gu Chu has the status of the imperial court, for the time being, he is still quite pure, but it will be difficult to say in the future, the method of seeing the gods is ten times more attractive than Wei Wuya's, I just don't know how far Gu Chu can break the limit?"
However, even if he is only able to break the limit of martial arts, this is enough to make the whole world crazy, how vast the martial arts in the world are, not suffering from inequality!"
Ji Fu chuckled and said, "Don't talk about this, let's do it today!" As he spoke, he looked at Qin Yu and said, "Lord Qin, don't worry, Gu Shu can't be invincible in the world."
Qin You arched his hand and said, "In this case, I will rest assured and take my leave!"
With that, Qin You turned around and walked out of the tent.
Watching Qin You leave, Ji Fu suddenly chuckled and said, "This Qin You, he is obsessed with the Cave Heaven Realm, and his selfishness is not small for Gu Yu today!"
Lu Chang took a sip of tea and chuckled, "Isn't it in line with Grandpa's intentions? Grandpa doesn't want to see the law of God?"
Ji Fu smiled and said, "Isn't Master Hou the same? In other words, is there anyone in this world who can refuse to see God?"
Lu Chang shook his head and sighed lightly: "Yes, who can refuse to see the law of the gods, this Gu Chop is really a genius of the heavens, comparable to the Martial Ancestor Martial Saint!"
Ji Fu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "However, few people know that the ending of the Martial Ancestor Martial Saint is very bad."
"It's okay," Lu Chang said, "Gu Shu, he will also be famous in history, but this son is really a bit evil, grandpa, the two of us can join forces."
Ji Fu poured tea for Lu Chang and said, "Master Hou might as well talk about it, how to join forces?"
Lu Chang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Ji Fu, and said, "Grandpa, let's open the skylight and say something, do you really believe that the method of seeing gods was created by Gu Qi, a hairy boy in his early twenties?"
Ji Fu was stunned for a moment, and said slowly, "It turns out that Master Hou also thought of this problem!"
Lu
Chang chuckled and said, "Gu Shu has the method of seeing gods to break the limit of martial arts, no one in the world will doubt this, but whether the method of seeing gods is his own creation, this, if you think about it carefully, there are too many doubts, and I believe that he has obtained a terrifying inheritance."
Three thousand years ago, the martial saint studied his life, spent countless manpower and material resources, to create martial arts, more than a thousand years ago, the martial ancestor for the integration of martial arts, almost with the whole world as the enemy, read all over the world's classics, only then will the martial arts collection to this day.
And in the past few thousand years, I don't know how many amazing and brilliant people, how many famous families, and big clans have tried everything to get out of another way, and they all want to break the limit of martial arts, but no one has succeeded.
Gu Shu, a person from such a low background, has no background, and no famous teacher to guide him, he relies on himself to run around and practice blindly, even if he is lucky if he doesn't train himself to be a waste, but he has reached such unimaginable heights, which is very strange and unreasonable."
Ji Fu nodded and said, "Yes, I also have this doubt, so I went to investigate Gu Qi's life, this person has been full of extreme weirdness since he woke up from a coma with a serious injury in the fourth year of Qingli.
The original Gu Chop has been a waste with no martial arts talent for more than ten years, and his character is also indecisive, and he doesn't dare to kill chickens, but overnight, he directly cultivated to cross several realms, and became a ruthless person who kills people without blinking, and since then, he is almost a god blocking and killing gods, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddhas, and his cultivation progress is outrageous, and his personality is becoming more and more domineering.
And what's even more weird is that no one has ever seen Gu Shu break through, that is to say, he has gone from a person who doesn't know martial arts to the first in the world of martial arts, but he has never broken through the realm, and his cultivation realm seems to be natural.
Maybe he was still a grandmaster two days ago, and after two days, he inexplicably became a great grandmaster, this situation is not uncommon in just a few years of his debut, and his cultivation is as if he is an extremely powerful monk himself, recovering his cultivation step by step."
Lu Chang took over the conversation and said, "Don't hide it from Grandpa, when I got this investigation information, I confirmed it again and again, and I couldn't believe it was true at all, and besides, there is an even weirder place, I don't know if Grandpa have you noticed?"
"What?" Ji Fu asked.
Lu Chang said slowly: "Gu Shu, he can practice martial arts indiscriminately, even if it is conflicting martial arts, he can cultivate them at the same time on his mobile phone, in addition, what is even more terrifying is that he seems to be able to cultivate any martial arts in a single thought, or there is no bottleneck, and, again, without any signs of breakthrough, he can inexplicably cultivate!" If cultivation is restoration, then martial arts and supernatural powers can't be restoration, right?"
Ji Fu nodded and said, "I have also discovered this, the world only knows that Gu Shu now holds the method of seeing gods that breaks the limit of martial arts, and he covets this method of seeing gods, but he ignores the strange inheritance of this person, this is the real treasure mountain!"
A person who can make people cultivate into any martial arts, can make a person who has no martial arts talent become a genius whose cultivation has no bottlenecks and ceilings, this inheritance is the real horror, the real immortal treasure."
Lu Chang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It's just that I can't imagine what kind of inheritance can be so terrifying?"
Ji Fu said in a low voice: "I was also suspicious at first, and even, I suspected that Gu Shu might have cultivated some kind of magic skills, because he likes to kill people, and I have been wondering for a long time that his cultivation of magic skills will be improved by killing people and practicing blood.
But later, I investigated that he has practiced several exercises all the way to the present, all of which are righteous exercises, and he likes to kill, which should be simply due to his character, domineering and arrogant.
However, on the contrary, his character also reflects that he should have obtained a great inheritance, otherwise, how dare he be so arrogant and domineering, and he will be the enemy of everyone at every turn, he should know the power of that inheritance, so he is not afraid!"
Lu Chang smiled slightly and said, "So, Grandpa has a guess?"
Ji Fu chuckled and said, "I believe that Master Hou should be in the same place with me—Immortal Gate!"
Lu
Chang nodded and said, "Only those legendary immortal sects can have this supreme treasure inheritance!"
Ji Fu said slightly: "Then, let's join forces!"
Lu Chang chuckled and said, "We should join forces, such a treasure, naturally we and other virtuous people live there!"
