Chapter 313: Prelude to the Great War

On the twenty-eighth day of the first month, light rain.

Spring is not more than halfway, the day and night are flat, and the apricot blossoms are thick.

Outside the window, a snow-white flower bloomed from the red apricot, and a remnant petal fell on the ground, and the slightest drizzle fell, leaving a little drop of water.

The king of Xiqin was lying on the bed, he was already weak, his cheeks were much thinner, and none of the concubines around him were gone, so he had to be served by a few clever maids sent by the Guo family, but obviously the king of the county did not accept it, and he had not eaten or drunk for a few days, just looked at the top of the bed in a daze.

A maid named Xinghua walked out of the main hall with a plate of cold fine liquid food, looked at the apricot blossom tree outside the window, and suddenly her eyes flickered, her eyes flashed over the group of monks and people praying outside, looked at the corner of a pavilion in the mansion diagonally opposite, and nodded slightly.

There was a graceful figure standing there, and then disappeared in a flash.

Dugu Red Branch fell in the courtyard of the Honglu Pavilion, his steps were light, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he arrived at the fish pond in the backyard after a while.

Li Shangshu and Hu Jingwei are fishing again.

At this time, Hu Jingwei hung an earthworm on the hook, threw out the fishing line, and said, "Aren't you dead yet?"

Dugu Hongzhi pinched an apricot blossom and sniffed it, and said: "The dead air is getting stronger and stronger, and the fine work is also rewarded, I'm afraid it's just a few days."

Li Junsang sighed: "I can live, I have been waiting for him for more than half a month, and the rewards and money and food of the imperial court have arrived yesterday!"

Hu Jingwei pondered for a moment and said, "A few days ago, his wife from Baiheqiu returned to Baiheqiu, and the concubines around him also left, what does he want to do?"

Dugu Hongzhi thought for a while: "I'm afraid it's very difficult to move the rescue soldiers, the elders outside the city analyze, the four factions of Kunlun Palace have a very small chance of being moved, but once Jiang Yuqing dies of illness, the situation in Western Qin will be clear in an instant, and the four major sects are not fools, why play with a dead man?"

That's right! Jiang Yuqing's dying has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Hu Jingwei said: "There is also news from the imperial court, Jiang Yuqing's loyalty has been fermented, coupled with the Jiang family's deliberate momentum, the government and the opposition have already believed that Jiang Yuqing is a loyal minister, for a prince with an elite army of 500,000, the imperial court really can't do it easily, the palace army and the Shence army are in a dilemma, people eat horses and chew every day, and the grain and grass are consumed a lot."

In addition, the old Venerable of the Jiang family, the six small slave Venerables who had just broken through, and some puppets are almost here, what do you think of this? ”

Li Junsang said with a smile: "Peeling off the cocoon, it's actually easy to sort out the situation!" Jiang Yuqing is about to die, Xi Qin needs the Venerable Master to stabilize the situation, and Jiang Hu, the third master who has just recovered from a serious illness, will also be in charge of the army again.

This is the main reason why the masters of the Jiang family's capital rushed to come and Jiang Hu took people out to inspect the city defense.

Jiang Yuqing is planning for the aftermath of his death, and wants to struggle to stabilize Xiqin. ”

"The Jiang family is pitiful!"

Hu Jingwei shook his head, "Think about it carefully, compared to Jiang Yuqing, Jiang Hu's kid is really a pediatrician, full of the craftsmanship of the clan gate, he doesn't know how to be flexible, and he can easily finish abuse." After Jiang Yuqing's death, Jiang Hu will not be able to stay, and the situation of Western Qin can be easily solved! ”

Dugu Hongzhi nodded noncommittally: "I don't want to wait outside the city, there are still five or six days, and the three elders and masters will kill Jiang Yuqing!" Create an incident first, cause the people of the whole city to panic, the army outside the city will leave the defense, we and the outside of the city should be together, and wait for the palace of Xiqin County to be empty, take the opportunity to kill it, and the emperor's order will be completed! ”

……

Lingyun Mountain.

It is more than 3,700 miles away from Xingling Prefecture, the palace seat on the top of the high mountain covered with white clouds, the glazed tile arch eaves, the most central position, a huge spear statue straight into the sky, exuding the majesty and fierceness of the heart.

This is the thousand-year-old Lingyun Palace, the mountain gate of the Western Regions.

The disciples were all dressed in blue and white robes, with silver crowns, and they were all handsome men and women with tall postures.

In the Lingxiao Battle Pavilion of the main hall, dozens of well-dressed and imposing elders were sitting in two columns at this moment.

The main seat is a middle-aged man with a strong physique and eagle eyes, pinching his chin and showing a deep groan.

In the middle of the main hall, Taixungong is dressed in a Confucian white robe, with a beautiful and moving bear paw and a green bamboo, standing long, confident and timid.

"The statement of the king of the Western Qin county...... It's kind of ridiculous. ”

Ling Xuzi, the hall master of the main seat, stroked his beard and smiled, "What luck? What is the difficulty? Have it? What does my worldly sect have to do with his earthly court and princes? ”

"Hehe......"

The elders of the full hall couldn't help but laugh at each other with sarcasm.

Xiong Paw and Sai Qingzhu frowned slightly, but Tai Xungong looked like a breezy and cloudy look, and talked eloquently: "The hall master is a martial arts master on the side of the famous town, and the Lingyun Hall is also a thousand-year-old sect in the Western Regions, with a profound heritage and many wise people, why are you so pretentious?"

Is there any, you know best in your hearts, not to mention that the county king is full of sincerity, I think you have also heard of the name of Jiang Yuqing, the king of Xiqin County, how decisive my county king is, how wise and powerful, and how much he dares to fight with the world? ”

There was a pause: "What's more, within a year, 300,000 troops will self-discipline and the ancient battlefield of Lingyun Peak, and temper the martial arts realm with the disciples of your sect, just ask this kind of skill, who in the world has done it?" Is he the Great Zhou Emperor?

If today's time, place, and people are all there, does Lingyun Hall have a choice? ”

Ling Xuzi and the other elders retracted their smiles and fell silent.

Frankly speaking, the speculation and ideas of the King of Western Qin County completely hit the weakness of Lingyun Palace, but they were still hesitating, just like the masters of the imperial court also vaguely guessed the situation of the four sects, but felt that it was unlikely to cooperate with Jiang Yuqing.

After all, things in the world are never one plus one equals two, one is not right, things can't be done, and sometimes you don't even bother to think about it.

Lingyun Hall really didn't expect that little baby Xiqin County King was so direct and decisive so fast, he really fucking dared to do this!

It's like, you have a crush on a woman on the street, and your heart has just yy, I can enter her, but she comes over to you and says, "Please join me!"

This is simply surprising and unexpected.

Ling Xuzi flicked his sleeves lightly: "Jiang Yuqing's little baby can really defeat the Great Zhou army, and play more than the Great Zhou Tianzi and the Gongqing?"

Tai Xungong smiled slightly: "You guess?"

No need to guess! That kid completely annihilated the million-dollar coalition army of the thirteen countries in the Western Regions, which has broken the record in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and today's experience, the image of a resourceful and powerful character is already very distinct.

This kid is a man of courage, ability, and great things!

What's more, the prosperity of martial arts is coming, if Lingyun Hall doesn't want to be lucky at this critical juncture, and will be crushed into powder in the future, this kind of thing will not be lost, and the conditions of the King of Western Qin County must also be grasped.

Ling Xuzi admitted that Lingyun Hall was touched by the kid King of Western Qin!

After hesitating again and again, Ling Xuzi felt that he should open his mouth, shook his head and said, "Not enough, the conditions offered by the King of Western Qin County are not enough!"

"Not enough to count the ball!"

Tai Xungong flicked his right hand lightly, and a glass tactful document had already flown up on its own, and on it were the palm paintings of Kunlun Palace, Dry Sword Shrine and Xinger Valley, and said coldly: "I, Xiqin, am so sincere, the hall master is not enough, it is inevitably a joke." It's not a secret, the three major sects have already conspired with Western Qin, in fact, there is not much more Lingyun Palace, and there is not much less Lingyun Palace, the hall master will consider it himself! ”

With the bear's paw and the green bamboo, he turned around and left.

The face of the elders of the full hall changed endlessly.

Ling Xuzi's eyes also flickered, and he waved his hand: "Master, slow down!"
