Chapter 336: Ascending the Green Mountain
Although Xia Yu destroyed Wei Guo and established the Han Dynasty, he knew in his heart that Wei Guo was only the weakest of his many enemies, and he had an even stronger enemy to deal with, that is, the Devil's Axe Gongmen located on the top of the green mountains.
Weidu, the original capital of the country, has now been renamed Handu with the change of dynasty. The new dynasty has just been established, and the atmosphere in the palace should have been jubilant, but at this moment, the palace is filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the war is far from over, on the contrary, a great war has just begun. Zheng Guo still stands tall in the north of the Han Empire, and Li Guo, which has now become a vassal of Zheng State, although not as strong as Zheng Guo, but it is also a force to be reckoned with in the west. If these two countries are not destroyed, Xia Yu will not be able to sleep soundly.
"Squeak-quack-"
In the depths of the palace, the door of a palace slowly opened, and the smell of dust and musty came from inside, and in addition to that, there was a strong smell of urine. Smelling this smell, Xia Xue couldn't help frowning slightly, but Xia Yu was expressionless, as if she didn't smell this unpleasant smell at all.
"This is the armory, why does it smell so bad?" Xia Yu was very calm, he looked at the slowly opening door, and asked.
The official standing next to Xia Yu was already frightened at this moment, he bowed his waist deeply, but he was hesitant and didn't dare to speak.
"Say!" Xia Yu said, although it was just one word, but with an irresistible majesty.
The official immediately turned pale with fright, his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground with a plop: "Tell Your Majesty." When the armory guards were on duty in the middle of the night, they sometimes had an urgent need to urinate...... So that's it...... So that's it...... I beg Your Majesty to spare my life!" the official didn't dare to say any more, knelt at Xia Yu's feet and paused repeatedly, his head slammed on the hard marble floor, and thumped.
Xia Yu's face turned cold a little, and he sighed helplessly. He felt that he had seen enough of the corruption and incompetence of the country. "You don't have to come to the armory anymore, go to the Interior Office to get an errand. ”
"Thank you for your grace not to kill, Wang Enhao, Wang Enhao. As if the official had been amnestied, he quickly kowtowed twice more, and then fled in disgrace.
Xia Xue glanced at the official who had fled, and then said, "It seems that officials from all over the country are going to come here to change blood." ”
Xia Yu turned his head to look at Xia Xue. Playfully smiled slightly: "Hehe, this is going to trouble you, Prime Minister." ”
Xia Xue glanced at Xia Yu, walked into the armory with her legs, and said with a smile: "Don't talk to me poorly." ”
Walking into the armory, Xia Yu and Xia Xue's faces couldn't help but show a little shock, and in the huge armory, armor and swords were piled up. I don't know how long these weapons have been piled up here, Xia Yu casually picked up a sword. It was discovered that the sword was rusty.
"The ordnance here, except for the unusable ones, should be more than enough to arm twenty or thirty thousand people. Xia Xue walked in front of Xia Yu, her eyes were very keen, she just glanced around casually, and she almost counted the number of swords and armor in her heart.
Xia Yu nodded. He said, "Well, with the ordnance here, we can form another army." You go and tell him to leave tomorrow in a moment. Oh yes. Don't forget to write a war letter to the Li State, such a thing as undeclared war is not our style of acting. ”
Xia Yu had already consulted with everyone and decided to send troops to the Li State. There are two reasons, one is that Li Guo is a subsidiary of Zheng Guo, and defeating Li Guo can greatly weaken Zheng Guo; second, as the saying goes, persimmons have to be pinched softly, and Li Guo's combat effectiveness is not at the same level as Zheng Guo.
"In addition, I'm going to go out for a while, and I'm going to trouble you with important military and political affairs. Xia Yu paused for a moment and continued.
Xia Xue was slightly startled: "Go out, where are you going?"
Xia Yu suddenly sighed lightly, he looked at Xia Xue's worried beautiful face, and his expression was a little solemn: "I'm going to Qingshan, and it's time for our grievances with the ghost to come to an end." ”
........................
In the blink of an eye, three days later, Xia Yu came to the foot of the green mountain.
Xia Yu stood in front of the gate of Qingshan, looked up at the mountain, and saw a long staircase leading to the top of the mountain, and finally submerged in the sea of clouds halfway up the mountain. On both sides of the mountain gate, there are two huge stone statues, both of which are in the appearance of warriors, wearing armor and holding large swords and sharp swords, and their appearance is very hideous. These two stone statues are placed in front of the mountain gate, like the two guardian saints of the green mountain, exuding a compelling momentum, and ordinary people standing in front of them will have a wonderful state of awe.
"Is this the green mountain?" Xia Yu muttered as he looked at the sea of clouds on the top of the mountain. The sea of clouds is just an ordinary sea of clouds in the eyes of ordinary people, but Xia Yu knows at a glance that this sea of clouds is a little strange. The distribution of the sea of clouds seems to be random, but it faintly forms a certain formation, I am afraid, this sea of clouds is the door protection array of the Devil's Axe Sect.
Retracting his gaze from the sea of clouds in the distance, Xia Yu opened his legs and walked towards the top of the mountain. However, as soon as he stepped up the first step of the steps, the stone statues on both sides suddenly burst out with monstrous momentum, and there was a sound of "boom", and the two stone statues came to life at once, and their heads slowly turned to Xia Yu's side, the sound was like thunder, and he said slowly: "The green mountains are heavy, and the trespassers will not be forgiven!"
Xia Yu was slightly startled, and then said with a smile: "Oh?!These two stone statues turned out to be two magic weapons, which is interesting." ”
Xia Yu smiled, completely ignoring the two stone statues, under the pressure of the two stone statues, he still looked as usual, and continued to walk towards the mountain.
"Trespassers, no mercy!" Seeing Xia Yu's insistence on breaking into the mountain, the two stone statues roared again, and immediately raised their respective weapons, smashing them towards Xia Yu with a monstrous momentum.
In the face of the stone statue's attack, Xia Yu didn't care at all, he continued to walk forward, without even looking back, just snorted coldly, and a layer of invisible fluctuations erupted in his body. The next moment, as if someone had pressed the pause button, the movements of the two stone statues came to an abrupt halt. Then, after Xia Yu walked out ten steps, without warning, the two stone statues exploded with a bang, turning into pieces of rubble of different sizes and scattered on the mountain road.
Xia Yu continued to walk towards the mountain, he walked very slowly, and with every step he took, his momentum would suddenly soar. He took a deep breath, looked at the top of the mountain covered by clouds and mist in the distance, and shouted: "Xia Yu, King of Han, come to visit the Devil's Axe Divine Gate." ”
The sound was like thunder, echoing above the green mountains for a long time. (To be continued......)
