All the people in the capital know that the northern and southern armies defend the capital.

If the responsibilities of the two armies are further subdivided, the northern army has always been used to conquer the outside world, and the southern army is mainly responsible for guarding.

At the same time, the northern and southern armies had the same establishment, with six armies, one army of 12,500 men, and a total of 150,000 troops in the northern and southern armies, and these 150,000 were the elite of the entire Great Guizhou.

At the same time, each army has its own generals, with a total of twelve captains.

Daqian has the title of general, but the title of general is generally not permanent, it is set up in wartime, and it will be revoked after the war is over.

Nominally, both the northern and southern armies were led by the Taiwei, but in fact, if the Taiwei wanted to use the army, he had to have a tiger talisman, and the Taiwei only had half of the tiger talisman, and the other half was on the emperor.

Even the southern army in the northern and southern armies was directly led by the emperor, and even if the captain had a tiger talisman and no holy decree, it was impossible to mobilize the southern army.

Among the northern and southern armies, compared with the southern army stationed in the capital all the year round, the northern army had more elite experience, and more importantly, their general at that time was the current captain.

As their name suggests, the Northern Army is stationed in the north of the capital, and the sound of soldiers training can be heard from time to time.

The lieutenant came to the camp of the Northern Army alone, and soon, Captain Zhuang, who was once his subordinate and is now the captain of the Northern Army, came to greet him.

Captain Zhuang is tall and tall, and he is very much in line with the general impression of a general, even when there is no war, he is still wearing heavy armor.

"Captain!" Captain Zhuang was very happy that Captain Tai was able to come and inspect the camp of the Northern Army.

Since the Taiwei was awarded the title of Tai Lieutenant for his military merits, he has rarely come to the army, and the Tai Lieutenant also knows that he is feared because of his high merits, so he deliberately dissociates himself from the army.

But this doesn't mean that his former subordinates don't remember him, after all, he is the only third-realm monk in the military family, and he has almost done his best to control the army, and no captain dares to say that he does not admire the military ability of the captain.

"Why didn't you see that kid Ah Chang, he was willing to take a position in the army to be a servant of the captain, but yes, if you can learn one or two tenths of your skills from the captain, it is better than being a big soldier in the camp of the Northern Army." Captain Zhuang smiled heartily.

It didn't take long to walk from the gate of the camp to the military tent, but the captain kept a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

Captain Zhuang frowned, thinking that Captain Tai was so angry today for some reason.

"But your majesty is suspicious of you?" Captain Zhuang cautiously exited tentatively.

Taiwei's figure has lost a lot of weight, and Zhuang Xiaowei feels that it must be a little difficult for Taiwei to be in the capital, otherwise how could Taiwei, who was like a tiger general at the beginning, be so thin.

The lieutenant's voice was a little hoarse, and he said in a low voice: "How many of the six lieutenants in the camp are there?" ”

Captain Zhuang's heart suddenly froze, and he replied: "Back to Lieutenant, the six military captains in the Northern Army camp are all here!" ”

The captain's brows furrowed, and he said, "Get them all!" ”

"Yui!" Captain Zhuang's eyes flickered, and he arched his hand and went down.

Soon several strong men with tigers on their backs entered the military tent, and they all showed surprised expressions when they saw the captain, and these people were all military monks!

Captain Zhuang opened his mouth and asked at this moment: "Captain Yu, the six captains of the Northern Army are all here, I don't know what the captain is looking for us?" ”

"According to what Your Majesty said, the southern army seems to have a disobedient heart, I order you to go and monitor the southern army, if there is any change in the southern army's camp, immediately send troops to attack!" The captain's voice was still hoarse and low, but the words he said were like a cold wind that startled the hearts of the captains.

Captain Zhuang frowned, and hurriedly arched his hand: "If the captain wants to mobilize the army, he needs the Tiger Fu Holy Decree, and please show the Tiger Fu Holy Decree!" ”

After Captain Zhuang said this, he thought that it was a sparse and ordinary thing, and the mobilization of the northern and southern armies did require tiger talismans and holy decrees, but at this time, he felt that he was being stared at by a cold gaze.

He looked up, but he didn't expect the captain to stare at him with a cruel look, as if he had said something wrong.

"Except for Captain Zhuang, all of you were brought out by me, right?" The lieutenant's withered knuckles tapped lightly on the chair beneath him, making a low, rhythmless tapping sound.

"Yes!" The five people except Captain Zhuang hurriedly bowed their heads in response.

Captain Zhuang felt that something was more and more wrong, but he didn't expect the senior lieutenant to sneer gloomily.

Then he took out the complete tiger charm and yellow silk from his chest robe, and the silk was clearly the material of the holy decree.

"This is the Tiger Talisman and the Holy Decree handed over to me by His Majesty, with the Tiger Talisman and the Holy Decree, you can mobilize the army, right?" The lieutenant's gaze swept over the few people below, making those lieutenants feel extremely pressured, after all, this was the gaze of a third-realm cultivator of the military family.

Captain Zhuang hurriedly took the tiger talisman and the holy decree, and after inspection, he found that there was indeed no problem, so he was relieved.

"Yui!" A few people except Captain Zhuang nodded hurriedly, did not check the Tiger Fu Holy Decree, and went out directly to order troops and prepare to send troops to the southern army camp.

Only Captain Zhuang was left behind by the Tai Lieutenant.

"You joined the army in the early years of Yongli, right?"

Captain Zhuang didn't know why he was left alone by the captain, but when he was a little confused, the captain suddenly asked.

So Captain Zhuang had no choice but to hurriedly answer: "Back to Taiwei, the last general did join the army in the early years of Yongli, and at that time, it happened to join the army of Taiwei to crusade against the south!" ”

"Ho ho ......" an incomprehensible sneer came out of the lieutenant's throat, "It's really good, from a small soldier to a captain of the Sixth Army in sixteen years!" The cultivation of the second realm of the soldier family is also not bad......"

Captain Zhuang replied to the captain with some trepidation: "Thanks to the captain's support, there is no way to repay the general's liver and brain!" ”

"Liver and brain?" Taiwei turned around violently and stared at Captain Zhuang with gloomy eyes, which made the latter feel a chill in his heart, as if his mind had been seen through, "Since there is nothing to repay me, why do you still want to take the holy decree to the palace for inspection?" ”

Being stared at like this and suddenly asked such a heart-wrenching sentence, Captain Zhuang even unconsciously released the evil qi on his body, and more importantly, what Captain Tai just said was exactly what he thought in his heart.

He really felt that the Taiwei was a little suspicious today, including the holy decree and the tiger talisman, and Captain Zhuang felt a little strange, and he wanted to take it to the palace to check it.

Of course, he didn't have the intention of serving the emperor.

After all, in the entire Northern Military Academy, except for him, he is the confidant of the Tai Lieutenant, and the emperor has said optimistic things about him more than once, which is of course a hint or a secret move.

"Taiwei is serious, the tiger talisman and the holy decree will only be used in extraordinary times, and the last general will go to check it, just for insurance." Although Captain Zhuang explained this, the evil qi on his body was not withdrawn, and he firmly protected himself.

But the next moment, something that frightened him a little happened, and the Taiwei was not blocked by the evil qi at all, and came to him through his protective evil qi.

"Roar!"

Just when Captain Zhuang was a little puzzled in his heart, Captain Tai let out a wild roar of unknown meaning from his mouth, which was not like a human being could do.

The next moment, Taiwei's mouth suddenly opened wide, and a tentacle full of sarcoma stretched out, and a large mouth was open on the head in front of the tentacle, which contained a bloodshot eyeball.

Captain Zhuang dodged in panic, but the tentacles suddenly opened, and a gray-brown aura also emerged from Taiwei's body, firmly controlling his body, and the tentacle poured into his frightened and gaping mouth.

Captain Zhuang was so frightened by this scene that his pupils constricted and his eyes widened to the point that his eye sockets were torn.

He only felt that his abdomen was stirred wildly, and his internal organs twisted together, and then returned to their original positions, and the new internal organs were all covered with gray mucus.

The tentacles full of sarcoma twitched a few times and withdrew from Captain Zhuang's mouth, and the big mouth of the blood basin opened by the captain also disappeared without a trace, turning into that gloomy and wise appearance.

And Captain Zhuang's expression became exactly the same as that of Captain Tai now, gloomy and sluggish, but in the depths of his eyes was stupid and hesitant.

"Roar!" The Lieutenant's mouth uttered another roar of unknown significance.

But this time, Captain Zhuang understood what Captain Zhuang meant, and watched the Southern Army, and killed when necessary!

……

……

The nave of the lake.

No one knew that the seriously ill emperor had concealed his itinerary at this time and came to the nave of the lake.

The emperor rode in a small boat with a pious face, left all the eunuchs and guards on the shore, and rowed alone to the main hall in the center of the lake.

There is a huge Buddha statue in the lake, but the face on the Buddha statue is a little blurred.

The emperor bowed to the Buddha statue with great respect and said, "Bodhisattva! ”

Then the earth suddenly began to tremble, and the ground of one of the main halls of the nave suddenly cracked.

A pitch-black passage appeared in front of the emperor, and the passage suddenly emitted a faint light, and upon closer inspection, it was found that the entire passage wall was composed of gray blurred flesh and blood.

And those things that emit a faint brilliance are actually bloodshot eyeballs that open on the flesh wall.

The Emperor walked out of the rift without fear, and the flesh at the Emperor's feet began to wriggle, sending him deeper into the darkness.

I don't know how long later, the emperor appeared in a huge underground palace made of flesh and blood.

The dome above the dungeon was actually made up of confused human faces one after another, and their eyes were tightly closed.

In the center of the dungeon, a woman dressed in white sat quietly cross-legged, holding a white jade porcelain vase in her hand.

The emperor trembled and crawled to the woman in white, this monk of the second realm of Taoism, the emperor of the empire actually knelt down in front of the woman in white.

"Karmai Bodhisattva!"

With a reverent expression on his face, the emperor fell to the ground.

"The blood sacrifice is about to be offered, when will the Bodhisattva be able to hang down the Buddha realm and live forever?"

The woman in white took out three gray pills from her white jade porcelain bottle, and the emperor hurriedly pounced on them like a vicious dog pounced on food, and stuffed the pills in the hands of the woman in white into her mouth.

The emperor's illness seemed to have eased a lot, and he was able to stabilize his body at the moment, so that he would not keep trembling in the kneeling posture.

But the woman in white just lightly spit out a number: "Twenty-one thousand three hundred and thirty-three." ”

Then a blood-red pill appeared in front of the woman in white, and one-third of the pill was dyed red.

The emperor showed an extremely frightened expression, as if this number made him feel very panicked, and even hurriedly explained: "Tomorrow! Tomorrow the North and the South will fight, and my eldest son will rebel! I only hope that the Bodhisattva can live forever after descending to the Buddha realm! ”

The woman in white nodded lightly, and the emperor was relieved, dragging the sick body to kneel down in front of the woman in white again.

The emperor closed his eyes, his forehead touched the flesh floor in the dungeon, and his mouth muttered a scripture that he didn't know what it was.

But what the emperor couldn't see was that under the place where the woman in white sat cross-legged, countless threads of flesh and blood connected the body of the woman in white.

As the woman in white breathed and her chest expanded and contracted, the entire underground palace also expanded and contracted like a chest.

And the blood-colored elixir was on the back of the emperor's insight......

But it's all dyed red.

……

……

The entire capital was shrouded in darkness, and tonight's capital actually started a curfew for some reason.

Although the people of the capital were a little puzzled, this situation had not happened before, so they only scolded a few times in the room and closed the door of their house tightly.

It seems that in order to carry out a thorough wash for the lively capital in the past, the sky is raining.

The Imperial Mansion should have been silent, but at this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and a somewhat obese orange cat was lying on its stomach at the door, yawning, looking extremely lazy.

The street at the entrance of the mansion was wrapped in night, hidden in the sound of wind and rain, but the lantern lit at the entrance of the mansion dimly illuminated the slowly approaching figure.

A glimmer of light was inadvertently reflected in the darkness, and in this era, the only thing that could reflect the faint light of the lantern was the extremely finely polished weapon.

Since Zhong Yunyi became the Imperial Doctor, there is no one in the entire capital who does not know that this Mr. Zhong is already a great monk of the third realm of Confucianism and Taoism.

If this Zhong Yushi was still in the mansion, there would definitely not be Xiao Xiao who dared to approach so close with a weapon.

But all the people who came today knew that Zhong Yushi was in the palace today, and it stands to reason that there were only two or three servants, a few guards, a lady of Yushi and two disciples of her husband in this mansion.

And among the people they came here today, there were hundreds of elite soldiers who were raised in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there were several monks who had entered the realm, and the leaders were martial arts strongmen in the second realm!

The orange cat at the door yawned again, but at some point there were dark and brown lines on its body.

But no one in the group of soldiers who came today noticed this, because they didn't care, after all, not to mention a cat in this mansion today, even an ant, they had to pinch it to death!

Layers of dark shadows finally flooded the door of the mansion.

"Roar!"

In the corner where no one was paying attention, there was a dragon groan from the lazy orange cat!
