Long Aotian and Zen Master Xuezhai sat opposite each other.

Although Zen Master Xuezhai is a monk, he is a powerful minister in Shenxiao Dao, and he is highly respected.

He is also Long Aotian's nominal master, although it doesn't mean much. The children of the Long family were all taught by Long Zhanye himself, and letting his sons worship the retainers as teachers was just a means to strengthen the relationship with the retainers.

"Do you still dare to come to see me?" Zen Master Xuezhai is usually kind and kind-eyed, gentle and polite, but at this moment, he has angry eyes and a majesty that cannot be forced.

"I don't shy away from my ambitions. If the eldest brother is well, Aotian is willing to be a general and expand the territory for Shenxiao. But the eldest brother and the second brother both suffered this tragedy......"

"Duh!" Zen Master Xuezhai broke off, shaking Long Aotian's tall body trembling: "You should say that your fourth brother is a major suspect, right?"

Long Aotian said calmly: "I don't intend to mention this matter, but since Master said it, I also express my opinion. ”

Zen Master Xuezhai said coldly: "The eldest prince died violently, and then the second prince died in a mutiny, there is indeed no such coincidence. But if it was really the fourth prince's doing, he should have been preparing to seize the throne now, but I heard that he was at a loss. ”

Long Aotian said: "Either it's really a coincidence, or the fourth brother is pretending, in fact, he has already started the next step without leaking." He has the support of the Fu family behind him, and he can have great military power without any action. ”

According to the principle of eldest and youngest, it is time for the fourth son to succeed to the throne. However, the fourth son was not born in the main room.

But the identity of the fourth prince is also unusual, the Fu family from which his mother was born is the most widely supported general in Shenxiao Dao. If he wanted to seize the throne, he didn't need to deliberately win over any of his retainers, and he could mobilize a large number of troops.

He slowed down, and said, "Aotian has just returned from the grassland, if everything was planned by me. I don't go to the grassland, so I can do more arrangement, and the situation is much more favorable. ”

Zen Master Xuezhai said categorically: "Do you know that you are not in the old formation, and you are clear about yourself? I have watched you grow up, and I am clear about your personality!"

His words used the Buddha power of the lion's roar. Long Aotian suddenly changed color, not only his body, but also his heart trembled, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Long Aotian still had to argue, but Zen Master Xuezhai had already laughed.

"Boy, you're lying, it's all about you. You think you're smart, but when I roar, your heart beats differently. and betrayed you!"

As he spoke, he pinched Long Aotian's neck with one palm, and the Buddha's power came out through his body.

Long Aotian was suddenly lifted up by a golden giant hand condensed out of thin air, hanging in the air, his whole body was restrained, and he couldn't move!

was suddenly attacked by Zen Master Xuezhai, and with his cultivation, he had no power to resist.

Long Aotian felt that not only was he having trouble breathing, but his spine, trachea, and Adam's apple were all under the weight of Zen Master Xuezhai. It's almost deformed.

What's even more terrifying is that the huge Buddha power pressed against his heart. It put more and more pressure on his heart.

Xuezhai Zen Master Baoxiang solemnly said: "The poor monk is entrusted by the ancestors, and he will never tolerate a sinister and treacherous person who kills his brother to sit in the position of the Lord of the Heavens! Your ambition is already vain from today onwards, if you honestly confess, you can still save your life, otherwise you will be killed immediately!"

Long Aotian said with difficulty: "Master...... I'm innocent......"

Zen Master Xuezhai is even more powerful. Long Aotian felt that his lungs were already bleeding.

But Long Aotian was fierce in his heart, and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Master...... Thou hast killed the son of your ancestors without guilt, and there is no one in the door...... Convincing!"

Before the words fell, there was a snap, and it seemed that Long Aotian's heart was broken.

Long Aotian's body was light. I feel like my soul is drifting, as if I am dead, and I don't know what to think about at this moment.

But his eyes gradually cleared.

was pinched by Zen Master Xuezhai, and his lungs were not lightly injured, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out at the moment.

Zen Master Xuezhai nodded: "Good, good, good!"

"If you change your mind halfway, I'll kill you immediately. So iron-boned, but just like your father. ”

There was a lot of appreciation in his eyes.

He immediately said resolutely: "It doesn't matter at all whether you did it or not. ”

"Unlike your father, I don't care about the order of the elder and younger, I only care about who can strengthen the heavens and plant our banner all over the world! ”

"If your fourth brother had come to me first and shown such courage, Master would have already joined him. But since he doesn't even have the courage, what can he do?"

patted Long Aotian on the shoulder and said, "Gu Taineng and the others are over there, and the master will persuade them." The power of the Fu family is too great, and it has become a cancer in the sky, and the tail is too big to fall. It is also a good thing to eradicate it. ”

Long Aotian spurted out another mouthful of blood and said, "Thank you, Master." ”

Zen Master Xuezhai regained his usual gentle expression, rubbed the top of Long Aotian's head, handed him a turquoise pill, and smiled like the first sun: "Master has hurt you? ”

Bilian Dan is a first-class secret medicine in Buddhism, and very few people know about the pill, which has a miraculous effect on recovering visceral wounds.

Long Aotian took the pill and took it, and when he landed, a breath of fresh air filled his chest, and most of the pain disappeared in an instant.

At this moment, Zen Master Xuesai's smile is the same as when he played with a child who was a few years old twenty years ago.

But Long Aotian knew that the fate of the fourth brother, the fate of the Fu family behind the fourth brother, and the fate of the entire Shenxiao Dao had been completely decided in this laugh.

......

The person who set up the game is naturally Long Aotian.

The fourth son, Long Zaitian, does not have the same ambition as Long Aotian, he just wants to please the eldest brother and make himself reused. Long Aotian set up a bureau to let Li Xinyue, who was alias Li Xing, be valued by Long Zaitian, and Long Zaitian really hit the trick and recommended Li Xinyue to his eldest brother for treatment.

There is no evidence to prove that the death of the eldest prince was poisoned, and Li Xing's disappearance can also be regarded as absconding for fear of being prosecuted for the crime of ineffective treatment. But this is the subtlety of Long Aotian's plan, if it is confirmed that the fourth prince poisoned the eldest prince, it may be investigated and self-defeating, and now the fourth prince is only a major suspect, but it provides a great momentum for Long Aotian.

Coupled with the operation of Zen Master Xuezhai, most of the Shenxiao ministers and the leaders of the Hao clan have joined Long Aotian's command.

There are very few people who support the fourth prince Long Zaitian, except for the army of his maternal family, the Fu family.

Because Long Aotian had just returned from the grassland, the arrangement was not enough. Changsha City, the main city of the Shenxiao Army, was occupied by the four princes Long Zaitian. However, relying on the superior forces and the internal response in the city, Long Aotian quickly broke through Changsha City, forcing Long Zaitian to break through the siege and escape, and in this battle, Long Zaitian's troops suffered very heavy losses.

Jingbei's Jingyi Valley, Sanhe Sword Sect and other tribes saw the direction of the wind and also expressed their support for Long Aotian.

The dragon has been defeated repeatedly in the sky. planned to retreat to Wuling City under the control of the Fu family, but Long Aotian had already instigated a mutiny among the city soldiers, killed the main general, and erected a banner in support of Long Aotian on the city.

The dragon made a quick decision in the sky and occupied Huacang City outside Wuling City.

This is an important fortress built by the ancestors of Shenxiao Dao in order to control the southwest part of Jingzhou, backed by the mountains of western Xiangxi, leaning on the Wuyun Mountains in the south, and built on the mountains. The walls are divided into several weights. The mountain stream is a moat, and there are fierce crocodiles in Hanoi, which can resist the enemy.

In addition to a large number of defensive materials in the city, there are also countless grains. Because Huacang City is not only a fortress, but also a granary, where most of the rice and grain in the southwest of Jing are stored.

Long Zaitian took advantage of Long Aotian's lack of time to fully control Wuling County, and the lightning march controlled Huacang, not only possessing the danger of the city and mountains. It is indeed a good move to use the grain and grass in the city to recruit the people to work for themselves. Long Aotian was almost caught off guard. However, the overall situation has been decided, and this is only a matter of lingering, and it is still impossible to change the overall situation.

Tall mountains of earth were erected outside Hanakura Castle, and trebuchets shot huge stones into the city, and arrows rained down like dense rain into the city, tearing rivers of blood apart.

Rao is the city is very strong. The Siege Array was also crumbling under the stormy attack. Under the lure of money, grain and rice, there were once many civilian warriors who threw themselves into Long Zaitian's side, but because of the heavy losses and the lack of foreign aid, many people fled across the city every day and took refuge in Long Aotian.

And the other supports the dragon in the heavenly city stronghold. One by one, they also cling. The best generals of the Fu family had died in battle many years ago, and although this group of people was powerful, they were not the opponents of Zen Master Xuezhai and Gu Taineng at all.

The dragon clawed at his scalp in the sky, a man who was only thirty years old, and his hair was already gray.

The lack of hope had exhausted him.

"Help...... Regardless of the cost, he went out of the city and asked for help from the Qingcheng faction. The dragon gasped.

The courtiers beside him hurriedly said: "The Qingcheng faction is the great enemy of our Shenxiao......"

"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Long Zaitian's voice was tired: "The Qingcheng Wang family still relied on our Jingzhou Long family to get up." And her cousin is over there, she won't sit idly by, she has a life-saving grace for that lion......"

Long Zaitian said with difficulty: "Tell Wang Jiansheng that as long as you can help me defeat Long Aotian and seize the power of Shenxiao, the military expenses and battle losses will be repaid by our side three times." Furthermore...... Cut the land of the tomb to thanks. ”

The courtiers were shocked.

Yiling is through the Yangtze River, from Yizhou into the throat of Jingzhou, thousands of years ago, the burning of the camp took place here.

Once the land of Yiling is ceded, the Jingzhou army loses the natural danger and will be subject to the Yizhou army everywhere. If the Yizhou army wants to attack Jingzhou, it can go down the river at any time, garrison troops to conquer the tomb, and then try to forge ahead.

But he understands that if he doesn't, none of the main people in this city will survive.

Long Zaitian gritted his teeth: "There is not enough temptation to make that greedy lion tempted." Even if it is to quench your thirst, you can only take this step first. The ethnic composition of the Yiling area is complex and not easy to control, and the two tribes of the surrounding Sanhe Sword Sect and Jingyigu are known for their extra elite soldiers and strong generals, as long as we grasp the opportunity, we may also take Yiling back, and let the lion suffer a big hardship, and dare not peep into my sky again. ”

The courtier sighed and nodded, "Command!"

knew that the fourth prince was not the lion's opponent at all, but for the sake of loyalty to the fourth prince, he could only take one step at a time.

The internal strife of Jingzhou Shenxiao Dao involved the Yizhou Qingcheng faction, and later the Yangzhou Beifu Army would also intervene in this chaos. Later, this turmoil was named after the Hanakura Castle where the dragon was trapped in the sky, and it was called the Hanakura Rebellion. (To be continued......)
