Chapter 170
"You're saying you detected the breath of the people of the Strange Mountains in the dead official?" After hearing Shen Ning's story, Zifu Lingyue was surprised, and Shen Ning nodded and replied: "That's true, I have fought with the people of the Mountains in Henan Province several times, and I have a clear perception of the fluctuations of the spirit yuan on their bodies, and this time I will not make mistakes, I know that there must be a shadow of the Strange Mountains in this matter." ”
Zi Fu Lingyue knew Shen Ning's ability, so she didn't doubt the authenticity of this matter, but frowned and said: "Then judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the attack of the Tricky Mountain Crowd against this official is from Yingji's meaning, if this is the case, what is his purpose?" ”
Shen Ning thought for a while, and then replied: "Yingji's throne is not obtained by Zhengda Guangming, on the contrary, his accession to the throne is full of too many mysteries, many ministers in the court must have a lot of questions about this matter, perhaps they don't want Yingji to ascend the throne, but under pressure from cultivators, they have to recognize his legal status, if this is the case, then Yingji is bound to clear the dissidents in the court, so that he can really control the Great Jin court, And he will definitely not be able to do this matter personally, if he does it personally, it is very likely to cause a backlash from the ministers of the DPRK and China, so this matter is undoubtedly the best choice for the people of the mountains who colluded with him. “
"If this is really the case, then I will inevitably drag him down from that supreme position, because only in this way can we truly preserve the current world of Dajin and save more people from suffering."
Shen Ning's words were very firm, and Zifu Lingyue sighed slightly and replied, "No matter what choice you make, I will choose to support you." ”
Seeing this Fu Lingyue gently holding his hand, Shen Ning's heart warmed slightly, but at this moment, his mind was full of things full of Yingji, and he spoke after a long time: "If the murder of the official surnamed Leng is because Yingji wants to eradicate dissidents, then there will be news of the murder of ministers in the future, and things will definitely not be able to continue like this, but it is impossible for the two of us alone to stop the slaughter of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government." ”
"And what do you mean?"
Shen Ning sighed slightly and said, "I'm afraid that we will have to turn to Gong Zheng for help in this matter." ”
When Shen Ning's words came, Fu Lingyue frowned slightly, she knew that although Zheng Yang was not deprived of the right to control the Tsing Yi Division, but after Ying Ji ascended the throne, as an official who had personally arrested Ying Ji, his life must have been very difficult, if Shen Ning contacted him now and was noticed by Ying Ji, then Zheng Yang's situation could be imagined, so she immediately said: "This matter, you are not suitable to come forward to meet me, or leave it to me." ”
Of course, Shen Ning knew what Zi Fu Lingyue was thinking, so he didn't refuse her request, you must know that now Zi Fu Lingyue's identity is still the Vermilion Bird rank of Doctor Qing, with this layer of identity as a cover, Zi Fu Lingyue will undoubtedly go a lot smoother when she goes to see Zheng Yang, and it will not arouse the suspicion of others in name, so she immediately nodded, and agreed to this matter.
After finalizing some details, the two of them decided when to meet Zheng Yang, and this matter came to an end briefly.
........................
........................
In the north of Shenjing City, thousands of miles away, there is the place where Beimang and the Great Jin Dynasty fought, and the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird, who have been running around from Henan Road for several months, have already led the last group of cultivators of the Great Jin Dynasty to this battlefield, and at the first time they came to the battlefield, they did not rush to fight with Beimang's army, but entered the last line of defense, Yangcheng.
In Weicheng, in addition to the cultivators who came to support led by Baihu and Suzaku, there were also troops that had retreated from the front line, they were under the command of Yang Shiqi, guarding against the attack that Beimang might launch at any time, and in the previous battle, the army of the Great Jin had obviously achieved absolute superiority. But when the prince was killed, the news came to the army of the Great Jin, and the people's hearts fluctuated, that is, at this time, Beimang's army did not know when to complete the assembly, launched a fierce attack on the city at that time, and also cut off the hidden grain route, and everyone was caught off guard without any preparation, so they lost the city one after another and retreated all the way to Yangcheng.
After understanding the basic situation, Baihu and Suzaku formulated a strategy based on the current situation, first of all, the soldiers who are now defeated on the front line are fluctuating, and they are not suitable for launching a counteroffensive against Beimang, and now the more important thing is to rebuild the grain road, if there is no support of the grain road, then no matter how advanced their strength is, they will be dragged to death by Beimang's army on this front line.
When everything was roughly arranged, the White Tiger and Suzaku climbed to the top of Yangcheng, they wanted to see how strong the army of the Great Jin cultivators was that could defeat it, when they reached the top of the city, the sky was dark and gray, looking from afar, they saw that the camps were connected to each other, the banners covering the sky and the sun were waving, and a team of soldiers were practicing in the camp like that, and the killing voice was Ling Ran, as if they could break through the sky, Beimang's army nine seemed to be a lurking tiger, capable of launching a fierce attack on the Great Jin at any time.
After seeing the scene in front of him, Baihu couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Beimang was able to conquer the important towns of my Great Jin after the death of the prince, such an army is not weaker than our Great Jin army, if they don't have a calamity dominating the chaos in their country, their overall strength is a few points stronger than that of the Great Jin, if they can't take advantage of this opportunity to completely destroy Beimang, then over time, the harm they bring can definitely cover the entire Great Jin." ”
Suzaku nodded noncommittally, she agreed with White Tiger's words very much.
"This war has evolved from Beimang to the south to plunder resources, and evolved into a war about the fortunes of the country, if we can't win from this battle, then when Beimang ends the chaos in the country, they should go all out to the south and deal a devastating blow to our Great Jin, at that time, I'm afraid even you and I will not be able to change this situation, so we can only win this war, and there is no other way."
"Now the situation in the whole world is getting worse and worse, if the Xuanwu Guardian and the Qinglong Guardian can go to this battlefield, then there will undoubtedly be a great change to the current situation, maybe they can take the opportunity to successfully destroy Beimang in one fell swoop, but unfortunately the two of them can't get away now. Everything is up to the two of us. The white tiger sighed slightly.
Suzaku had a different opinion on this, a lazy smile appeared on her face, she stretched her waist, yawned, and said: "Xuanwu Guardian sits in the Eastern Wilderness Daze, whether he can come or not to mention, and the duty of the Qinglong Guardian is to inspect the world, if he wants to come, he will definitely be able to come, but he hasn't come yet, doesn't it illustrate a problem." He doesn't care about the current Dajin at all, all he cares about is His Majesty the Emperor, and now that His Majesty is dead, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has ascended the throne, for him, whether this world seems to be the same, and it makes no difference whether he does it or not. ”
After hearing Suzaku's opinion, the white tiger was stunned, but there was no way to refute this, he had seen the legendary green dragon guarding when he was a child, and the powerful strength of the other party made him remember it vividly, but what made him remember most deeply was his uninhibited character, who would have thought that such a powerful cultivator would only think about traveling the world, eating, drinking and having fun.
Thinking of this, the white tiger shook his head with a wry smile.
"Speaking of which, you don't seem to have any special reaction to the matter of getting His Royal Highness the Second Prince to ascend the throne as emperor, don't you have any doubts about this matter, so you don't have any different opinions?" Suzaku suddenly asked.
Baihu thought for a while before replying: "Actually, to tell you the truth, the second prince can ascend the throne and become the emperor, I never expected, in my guess, Your Majesty should choose a prince with both ability and integrity from many royal relatives to inherit the throne, but the final result is that His Royal Highness the Second Prince put the holy decree covered with the jade seal of the country in front of me, and those of us as courtiers have no qualification to accuse him of His Majesty the Emperor who is about to ascend the throne. There is only one thing we have to do now, that is, to maintain the world of the Great Jin, just like Emperor Jing is here, so no matter who is the emperor, I will only remember this one mission. ”
Suzaku smiled narrowly: "What if this new emperor, Your Majesty, has caused a scourge on the world of the Great Jin?" ”
White Tiger's gaze froze slightly, and he said lightly: "If such a thing really happens, then I will not hesitate to abolish the monarch and stand again." ”
The white tiger's serious expression didn't look like he was joking, of course, no one would laugh at this kind of thing, Suzaku also restrained the smile on her face, she didn't expect the white tiger to say such a rebellious word, but after a moment of silence, she spoke: "This road is not very easy to walk, and let's take a look at the performance of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, if it is really a heinous sinner, if you want to abolish the monarch and establish it again, then count me as one." ”
For Suzaku's request, Bai Hu was not surprised, on the contrary, his words were also expected by Bai Hu, you must know that this Great Jin Dynasty, but they spent countless efforts to maintain, if someone really endangers the Great Jin, then White Tiger will indeed not hesitate to take action against that person, even if that person stands at the peak of today's power, he will do the same.
Although he didn't dare to guarantee that most of the cultivators of the Great Jin Dynasty had the same thoughts as him, Bai Hu knew that the woman standing in front of him, although she was a little lazy in her actions, was also deeply in love with this dynasty, and if the situation she just said really appeared, she would definitely have the same choice as herself.
"Alas, these things make me feel very irritated as long as I think about them, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were still alive, I am afraid that the two of us would not have such a conversation as now." Suzaku sighed slightly, the expression on his face was not regretful,
After all, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can ascend the throne and become the emperor, then it can be said that it is expected by everyone, whether it is among the cultivators, or among the civil and military officials of the imperial court, he has not weak prestige, and many people who can see through the situation think that Yingji will be a monarch who is not weaker than Emperor Jing after ascending the throne, and the two of them certainly have such an opinion.
It's a pity that everything happened too suddenly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not ascend to the throne as they expected and became a generation of Ming monarchs, but the second prince Yingji ascended the throne in a time of crisis, although there is a fog in it, but it is no longer important when the Beimang army is about to go south, and the most important thing now is how to drive the Beimang army out of the territory of the Great Jin?
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that in a cave hundreds of miles away from the battlefield, a pair of eyes were slowly opening.
