Three days later, the kings and ministers of Taisha sent the Immortal Emperor out of the city, this time they showed their true feelings, all smiling faces, and finally invited away the famous mountain puppet demon king, and the cars of the two princesses also returned home with the mountain puppet army......

At that time, outside the capital of King Taisha, one person and one rider watched the mountain puppet army go away, he looked very lonely, this person was Duke Portucchigakun, he looked at the mountain puppet army in the distance with a dejected face, he seemed to have some determination in his heart.

Viscount Salechhas also came outside the city to see off his sweetheart, and when he saw that Portucci Kakun was also outside the city, he knew it in his heart.

Salechhas came to him and said in a leisurely voice, "Lord Duke, is this a gift to Her Royal Highness Princess Lina?" ”

Portucci Kakun had a blank expression, and he didn't answer his question for a while.

After a while, Portucci Kakun came back to his senses and asked, "Could it be that Mentor Salechas is also here to send his old friends?" ”

Salechhas said inexplicably: "Yes and no......"

He is different from Portucci Kakun and Princess Lina, because Princess Diamelissa has never expressed any love for him, he has always been unrequited......

At this time, the sun was setting, and only the two of them were left outside the capital of King Taisha......

After marching for more than a month, the mountain puppet army finally withdrew to Yucheng, at the foot of Yucheng Mountain, the whole army looked solemn, and more than 100 soldiers drove the cart to pull the ashes of more than 3,000 mountain puppet soldiers who died in battle to the altar, so that the wizards of the army could do more than that.

Mu Sheng, as the second generation of the Immortal Emperor, personally led the troops this time, so he naturally had to take the stage to personally pray for the blessings of the fallen soldiers, and then the ashes would be pulled to the west coast hundreds of miles away and scattered into the sea, which is a long-standing tradition of the mountain puppet.

To a large extent, deep in their hearts, they are fighting for the living true god in the mountain puppet, the Immortal Emperor, not only for honor, but also for faith, they can be rare faith warriors in this era, and their combat ability is naturally not the same.

After the end of the battle, the whole army was rewarded, and the surviving officers and men were naturally happy, and those who died in battle and were disabled were given three times the pension, and after dealing with the post-war affairs, the three armies dispersed and returned to their stations.

In this war, there are five million military expenses given by Da Jinzi, as well as Taisha's huge war indemnity, although the mountain puppet gave Taisha enough face, and he didn't Huo Taisha much, but Lizi himself had to occupy it all, and he wanted the mountain puppet to withdraw his troops? Gotta add money! Fortunately, Taisha is more than a hundred times richer than the mountain puppet, and it is still worth paying if you grit your teeth, and the war reparations are of course given to the mountain puppets in the name of the dowries of the two princesses, which can not only spend money to avoid disasters, but also look good on Taisha's face.

Back in Yucheng, Mu Sheng took Diamelissa's soft hand and walked out.

Princess Lisa looked at the city on the top of the mountain in front of her and couldn't help but sigh: "Husband, Yucheng looks so magnificent, isn't it?" It's the first time I've been here! ”

Mu Sheng said with a smile: "In the future, this is your home, look slowly, if you have the opportunity in the future, I will take you to see the scenery of the Central Plains, which is very different from our southern Xinjiang style." ”

Diamelissa leaned happily on his shoulder and said, "Hmm! ”

The third princess, Kaya Melina, walked down the steps, just in time to see the emperor and her own sister Qingqing and me, she was angry, and secretly resented in her heart, this sister has never been worried, everything has to be compared with herself, even marrying into the mountain puppet "jumping fire pit" has to be compared to see who jumps far, jumping high? It's stupid......

The third princess thought of her current situation, and she didn't have time to educate her sister anymore, the wood was already in the boat, who could turn back now?

The emperor drove back to Yucheng, and the people of the city naturally welcomed the emperor's return, and more gossip people heard that the immortal emperor married two princesses of Taisha, who were known as Taisha Shuangzhu, and they came to watch curiously.

After so many years, the Immortal Emperor actually drove the expedition again, such a great martial arts, the powerful Taisha Dynasty bowed its head again, and married two princesses, which was a great encouragement to the morale of the entire people of the mountain puppet, and the entire Yucheng was immersed in the ocean of celebration

Seeing this situation, Mu Sheng wanted to inspect the whole city of Yucheng to unite people's hearts, and by virtue of this great victory, he announced a general amnesty and a one-year tax reduction to benefit the people, anyway, the gold and silver treasures transported from Taisha were enough for the mountain puppets to squander for a while......

After the parade, Mu Sheng convened a meeting of the elders to discuss the major policies after the war.

After the elders were summoned, Bortas led the way and said: "Ancestor, according to the latest military report from the front, the former clan took this opportunity to invade the territory of Taisha on a large scale, and has annexed the three princely states of Taisha, and its strength has increased greatly. ”

"The former Taisha Prime Minister Pamigata Kuba, and the current Prime Minister Gakun Patura at the same time called on each of the vassal states in the country to form an alliance to resist the invasion of the Former tribes, and hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides have been in a confrontational posture on the front line, and now the Former Tribes have sent envoys to serve us and we have sent troops to the Taisha from the east to help them reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield."

Mu Sheng thought for a while, and then said: "Reply to the envoy of the former clan, we have just experienced a big war, and the country is tired, so it is not appropriate to use force. ”

Bortas said: "If this is the case, then our offensive and defensive alliance with the former clan will exist in name only. ”

Mu Sheng said: "I know this very well, don't forget, the old man is now the king of Zhennan who is the son of the Great Jin, we are already wearing the same pants as the Great Jin, the former clan is going to turn against us sooner or later, Shangbang Junwei, in this battle with Taisha, you have also seen it." ”

"The next thing our mountain puppet has to do is to continue to tie up with the Great Jin, and after a while, the old man will personally go to the Central Plains to see his son and pay tribute to the state of the court, so as to see the sincerity of my mountain puppet to form a good dynasty."

Hearing this, Bortas agreed: "Ancestor Shengming, since we are already on the side of the Great Jin, it is better to strengthen the connection with the Chaoshang State and clearly strengthen the alliance with the Great Jin." ”

Mu Sheng bowed slightly: "Hmm! What Tasi said is very true, this visit to the Central Plains, I plan to contact the southern Xinjiang countries and go to the Great Jin Dynasty to meet the son with the old man, Tasi, this matter is up to you. ”

Bortas naturally nodded and obeyed.

Before dispersing the Imperial Meeting, Mu Sheng thought about it and saw what else was missing, the former clan and the mountain puppet formed an alliance to fight against the Great Jin Dynasty going south, and now the mountain puppet has "surrendered to the enemy" and it is difficult to stand on its own among the powerful countries in southern Xinjiang.

If it weren't for the fact that the Xi tribe was now fighting against Taisha, the Xi tribe would have already formed an alliance with Taisha to fight against the mountain puppets, and fighting against the mountain puppets was against the further penetration of the Jin court's forces in southern Xinjiang, and now the Xi tribes sent envoys to test the attitude of the mountain puppets.

Now, Taisha is newly defeated, and it takes the most time to recover, and the former tribe has gone south to take advantage of the opportunity with troops......

After the imperial meeting, Bortas saw that the other elders retreated to the hall one after another, he stepped forward with a wisp of beard, rolled his eyes, stepped forward to Mu Sheng, bowed down to protect his chest and saluted: "Ancestor, Weichen has something to do." ”

"Speak."

Bortas said: "Old Ancestor, the Great Witch of the Yucheng Holy Temple wants to invite the Old Ancestor to take the time to go over, the old patriarch Bordulai wants to talk to you, his old man has been practicing in the Holy Temple, you see?" ”

Mu Sheng bowed his head and said: "Okay, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's go now." ”

Yucheng Temple is located in the west of Yucheng City, is similar to the Central Plains ancestral temple, the past thousand years, Yucheng has made outstanding contributions to the mountain puppet elder tablets and stone reliefs are enshrined here, which is equivalent to the martyr's shrine.

When the Emperor's guard of honor arrived at the Yucheng Temple, the priests of the temple had already knelt in front of the temple gate to greet the Emperor, and the leader of the mountain puppet sacrifices was none other than the great witch Zhu Ke Luosha, who was also the leader of the mountain puppet wizard group.

Seeing that the emperor's honor guard had arrived, the great witch Zhu Keluosha trembled slightly, and his snow-white beard trembled slightly, and he leaned forward to ask for peace: "The old man greets the emperor, please follow the old man into the holy temple." ”

Mu Sheng bowed slightly, and stepped down, and the elder Bortasi and a group of mountain puppet sacrifices followed the emperor to the altar in the core area of the temple.

Yucheng Temple, five halls, three courtyards, occupies a small area, the scale of the temple obviously can not be compared with the palace-like glorious atmosphere of the Taisha Snake Temple, look around, the pillars and stone walls of the Yucheng Temple are all kinds of mountain puppet myths in the ghost relief, strange and slightly mysterious.

The altar is the core of the temple, that is, the main hall of the temple, there is a spring in the center of the main hall from the mouth of the stone beast on the mountain wall, flowing into the spring pool under the head of the beast, from the time of the establishment of Yucheng, the spring water in this spring has never been broken for thousands of years, this spring is also called the holy spring by the people of Yucheng.

The Emperor and his entourage walked into the altar hall, and a group of priests held exquisite bronze cups, received the holy spring from the stone beast spring, and presented it to the emperor, as well as Bortasi, the Great Witch Zhu Keluosha, and other high-level mountain puppets to drink.

Mu Sheng knew that this was a ritual to enter the temple to worship, he took the bronze cup, drank it all, the spring water into the throat was cold, even with a hint of sweetness, which reminded him of a classic advertising slogan in later generations......

After everyone drank the spring water, the great witch Zhu Keluosha waved his hand, withdrew the other sacrifices in the main hall, and led the emperor and Bortasi to cross the spring pool and go to the apse.

The main hall of the temple is built according to the mountain, the apse is actually hollowed out of the space opened up by the belly of the mountain behind the main hall, on the wall of the apse, carved with the relief of the important figures of the mountain puppet in various historical periods, and the various sacrificial shrines are placed, the life deeds of Rao are written on it, and the middle of the apse is the founder of the mountain puppet.

Mu Sheng, Bortasi, Great Witch Zhu Ke Luosha and others stepped forward to respectfully worship the Lord of Creation, and then the Great Witch Zhu Ke Luosha led everyone to the relief of the previous generation of Immortal Emperor Borges, after all, Borges was actually alive "in name", so he did not place the god seat.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng already knew why these people invited him over.

After a while, an old man over eighty years old slowly came to everyone with a gilded shrine, he is now the patriarch of the Bor family, Boldulai, and is also the direct bloodline of the Immortal Emperor Borges, the eighth grandson, and has a high prestige within the Bor family.

Boldulai slowly placed the shrine in his heart, stepped forward and bowed to Mu Sheng, and said, "Old Ancestor, no, Old Man doesn't know whether to call you Old Ancestor, or call you Sheng Gongzi from the Central Plains?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Bortasi, Great Witch Zhu Keluosha and others' faces changed greatly, and the two looked at each other, and at the same time an ominous blessing rose in their hearts
