318 Maocheng fierce battle retreat Dugu Imperial capital Liwei Town Gongsun II
Boom~~~ Just as Fang Lin spoke, a gift bag resounded through the world, nine rings in a row, and then, the main gate of Gongsun Mansion was opened, and twenty-four strong men of similar height ran out of it, each holding a long-handled horn horn in his hand, and he stood in two columns with swift movements, and a horn shook the sky in unison.
Then there was a group of subordinates carrying a large roll of red carpet from the main entrance to both sides, twelve delicately dressed girls stood on both sides of the carpet, carrying a large flower basket in their hands, which was full of colorful petals, and finally, a group of high-ranking officials of the Gongsun family walked out quickly from the inside, and came to Princess Xiangxiang along the carpet.
"The old minister Gongsun Liang sees Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness is a thousand years old!" The head of the Gongsun family bowed down and bowed.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess!" And the rest of the people bowed down to him.
Princess Xiangxiang immediately stepped forward, helped Gongsun Liang with both hands and said, "Grandpa, please get up quickly, and uncles, please also get even." β
Everyone stood up after thanking them, and Gongsun Liang said with a smile: "I haven't seen her for a few years, but the princess is becoming more and more beautiful and moving." As he spoke, he cried and said: "After several years of wandering, the princess should have suffered a lot, but it's a pity that a dignified royal family actually let those rebellious ministers and thieves be ruined!" β
The people of the Gongsun family also lamented with this face, and Princess Xiangxiang also said with a gloomy expression when she heard this: "The past is unbearable, grandpa don't mention it againβ’β’β’β’β’β’"
At this moment, the second elder interrupted Princess Xiangxiang's next words and said, "Family Master, how can we let Her Royal Highness the Princess stand outside and speak." β
"Hey, look at me, I'm all confused, haha, princess, please inside!" Gongsun Liang slapped his head and laughed.
Princess Xiangxiang smiled slightly, and walked towards the door first, Gongsun Liang followed closely behind, the rest of the group followed, and the rest of the Gongsun family walked last, the corners of the second elder's mouth couldn't help but turn upward, and his eyes were filled with irrepressible excitement.
Gongsun Liang was chatting with Princess Xiangxiang while walking, and during this time, he vaguely wanted to find out some secrets of Linghuazong from Princess Xiangxiang's mouth, but Princess Xiangxiang's answer did not give him any substantive information.
Soon, the group came to the conference hall, and after everyone was seated, Princess Xiangxiang said straight to the point: "Grandpa, uncles, Xiang'er came here this time for two purposes, one is to see everyone, after all, now Xiang'er only has you relatives; Secondly, I have the support of Ling Huazong, this must be known to everyone, here I want to tell you is that in the near future, we will drive out all the Qin troops entrenched in the Western Regions, and then the palace will announce the rebuilding of the Yu Kingdom in the name of the imperial princess, so I hope that my grandfather and uncles can help me, and the palace will not forget the merits of the Gongsun family at that time! β
Gongsun Liang suddenly showed great joy when he heard this, and said: "It's really good, Her Royal Highness the princess wants to restore the country, and the old minister will definitely support the whole family!" β
As soon as these words came out, there were many echoing voices below, and at this time, Gongsun Liang said with emotion: "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't you know, since the Dayu Kingdom was destroyed by those thieves, those of us who are loyal to the royal family have been excluded and suppressed in many ways, and several families have been wiped out, if it weren't for the attack of the Yeyue Empire, I'm afraid, our Gongsun family can't be saved, and now that you're back, our hard days are over." β
Princess Xiangxiang said: "Grandpa, rest assured, this palace will definitely not treat the Gongsun family badly!" β
However, at this moment, a playful voice came: "Oh? I don't know what Her Royal Highness the princess wants not to treat my grandson's family badly? β
When Princess Xiangxiang heard this, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she said in a cold and majestic tone: "Gongsun Kang, did you talk to the princess like this?" β
"Hehe, Your Highness Princess!? That's just the princess you used to be, and now you're nothing, because the Great Yu Kingdom no longer exists, hahaβ’β’β’" The second eldest husband Sun Kang said arrogantly.
Princess Xiangxiang's tone became even colder, and she said, "So, your Gongsun family is preparing to rebel?" β
When she said this, Princess Xiangxiang looked at Gongsun Liang, but Gongsun Liang lowered his head and did not speak, while the Great Elder on the side opened his mouth, but did not say anything.
Princess Xiangxiang's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the people of the Gongsun family, and said with a sneer: "Just with this bit of strength of yours, you want to rebel against yourself to become the lord of the Dayu Kingdom?" Hehe, don't be too whimsical, let alone the next alliance between the Qin State and the Dugu tribe, even if it is fifty of us, you may not be helpless, and if you want to kill you now, it will not be effortless at all! β
Gongsun Kang laughed out loud when he heard this, and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you don't know how long our Gongsun family has existed, how can we not have corresponding arrangements in our own clan land, blame you for not being arrogant, since you have entered our territory, then you can only listen to our fiddling." β
Speaking of this, Gongsun Kang couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly, but the crowd didn't speak, just looked at him like an idiot, and after about ten breaths, Gongsun Kang stopped laughing and looked at Princess Xiangxiang and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, for the sake of your bloodline of my Gongsun family, as long as you are willing to promise that everything will obey the arrangements of my Gongsun family, then we can ensure that you sit on the throne of the empress of this Dayu Kingdom, of course, your husband must be Gongsun Jingzhi, what do you think?" β
Princess Xiangxiang didn't get angry when she heard this, but looked at Gongsun Kang with a playful look and said: "Yes, it's really a good idea, first use the prestige of the palace to control the entire Yu Kingdom, and let those forces loyal to the royal family surface, and then control them, and finally use your son and the empress's husband-in-law to take the throne logically after the empress died in a misfortune, so that not only does it not cost a single soldier, but also can get the support of most of the original citizens and ministers, Gongsun Kang, It's not an exaggeration to call you an old fox. β
Gongsun Kang was suddenly shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect all his calculations to be seen through by the other party, but he didn't panic at all, and said with a cruel smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, even if you know, now that you are in our hands, what do you want to do, but you can't help it, you can't do it." β
Immediately afterwards, he looked at Fang Lin and said: "You are Fang Lin, the sect leader of the Linghua Sect, originally if you didn't come, the old man really couldn't do anything about you, but now that you are here, it is a huge surprise to the old man, with you in your hands, I am afraid that the entire Linghua Sect will not become a part of my Gongsun family, when the time comes, all your resources will be at my disposal, and all of you will have to work hard for me, hahaβ’β’β’ It's really happy to think about it." β
Fang Lin didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth curved into a playful arc, Princess Xiangxiang didn't pay attention to Gongsun Kang anymore, but looked at Gongsun Liang again, and said lightly: "Grandpa, for the sake of the queen mother, this palace will ask you one last time, do you really all think the same as Gongsun Kang?" β
When Gongsun Liang heard this, his whole body trembled, looking at Princess Xiangxiang's calm and chilling face, he didn't know why, there was an inexplicable fear in his heart, and he faintly felt that things might not be as good as Gongsun Kang said, but such an opportunity was in front of him, but he was unwilling to give up like this, and fell into a tangle for a while.
Gongsun Kang smiled arrogantly: "Haha, don't ask him again, even if he agrees to you, it's useless, because now the entire Gongsun family is under the control of the old man, haha, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, now the outside has been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, even if you are all strong in the realm of life and death, you will also be besieged to death, but the old man has always cherished talents, as long as you are willing to swear allegiance to me, then you can avoid death, and the old man will not treat you badly in the future, how?" β
Gongsun Liang was suddenly startled when he heard this, and looked at the Great Elder on the side, but at this time, he found that the Great Elder's eyes were scattered, his expression was dull, and he was obviously controlled by someone, so he couldn't help but look at Gongsun Kang and said angrily: "Gongsun Kang, you are a crazy thing, you don't even let go of your eldest brother!" β
Gongsun Kang smiled and said: "As the so-called big things are not informal, as long as the old man becomes a big thing and magnifies my Gongsun family, who else will say irresponsible in the future?" β
When the high-ranking members of the Gongsun family heard this, they showed different looks, some were proud, some were bland, some were angry, some were hesitant, and so on, but Fang Lin, who saw all of these in his eyes, showed a smile again.
At this moment, there were suddenly two screams outside the hall, and then the door was slammed open, and then more than a dozen people rushed in and stood in front of Princess Xiangxiang to protect her.
The first woman spoke eagerly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you are frightened, Gongsun Lin is too late to escort you!" Although the rest of the people did not speak, they all stood firmly in front of Princess Xiangxiang, looking like they would not retreat.
Princess Xiangxiang's heart warmed, and she was a little surprised and a little choked up: "Aunt Lin, it's good to come, it's good to come!" β
And at this time, there was Gongsun Kang's angry shout: "Gongsun Lin, Gongsun Xin, Gongsun Yi, how did you run out!" β
Gongsun Lin sneered: "Hmph, Gongsun Kang, do you think you really put us all under house arrest, do you think that all the people in the Gongsun family are the kind of people who are hungry for profit, do you think that there is no one in the Gongsun family who understands?" As he spoke, a momentum of reincarnation realm meditation pressed towards Gongsun Kang.
Gongsun Kang was shocked, but then he regained his indifference, and said: "I'll just say, it turns out that you are a woman who hides her strength, hmph, but it doesn't matter, since you are not willing to obey the old man, then you have to die!" Big brother, kill them all. β
As soon as the words fell, the Great Elder, who originally looked stupid and stupid, instantly turned into an afterimage, and slaughtered Gongsun Lin and the others from the side, and then, Gongsun Kang also made a move, and the momentum that erupted from his body turned out to be a quasi-life and death realm, which scared Gongsun Liang a lot.
However, their bodies just pounced, and one person appeared in front of them, just a wave of his palm blocked the two of them, and then, the great elder wanted to pounce up, but the person in front of him pressed on the chest, and the whole person fell down directly, and Gongsun Kang was captured by an old man in front of him, and he was held in his hand like a little chicken, and he had no power to resist!
This time all the people of the Gongsun family were suppressed, and their eyes revealed a look of horror, they had never seen the powerhouses of the life and death realm shoot before, and they didn't know how powerful they were, but now when they saw it, it was not what they imagined at all, and it was simply wishful thinking to rely on the number of people to kill each other!
Suddenly, Gongsun Kang's shocked roar came: "Impossible, this is impossible, I have clearly opened the trapped formation, you should not be able to move at all, why, why are you as if you are not targeted by the formation!" β
At this time, Fang Lin slowly walked out from Princess Xiangxiang's side, and said lightly: "Hehe, it's really naΓ―ve, I think that I can trap us with just a few eighth-level formations, and I don't know how much you don't know about the spirit array, in front of a real high-level spirit array master, those spirit arrays of yours can be broken at your fingertips." β
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the Gongsun family members instantly set off a storm, and at this moment, the three elders who had been silent suddenly exclaimed: "By the way, Fang Lin, it is said that Fang Lin is a ninth-level peak spirit array master, is it possible that the eighth-level spirit array is so fragile in front of the ninth-level spirit array master!?" β
His question was destined to be answered by no one, and when he came to Gongsun Kang, Fang Lin looked at him lightly and said: "In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and calculations are floating clouds, even if you have more troops outside, it is useless, go with peace of mind, your son and the closest people will come to accompany you soon." β
When the words fell, he didn't give Gongsun Kang a chance to speak, and directly a bright red fireball the size of a human head pressed on his head, instantly burning his entire head into nothingness, and the severed head was scorched black, but not a drop of blood oozed out!
Seeing Fang Lin killing people like this, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill rise in their hearts, and they couldn't help but sweat coldly behind their backs, Fang Lin glanced at Princess Xiangxiang, she nodded and walked towards the outside of the hall, and the six old men behind her followed.
Waiting for the figures of Princess Xiangxiang and the others to disappear, Fang Lin looked at the Gongsun family and said: "Heads of the Gongsun family, this sect is not here to discuss with you this time, but to directly absorb you, but for Xiang'er's sake, this sect did not directly attack the imperial capital before, and now it gives you a chance first, but unfortunately, you are not sure yourself, so β’β’β’β’β’β’"
"No, it's not like this, Sect Master Fang, you've misunderstood, it's really a misunderstanding." At this moment, a crying voice interrupted Fang Lin's next words.
No matter what Fang Lin would think, Gongsun Liang directly knelt down and cried at Fang Lin's feet: "Sect Master Fang, our Gongsun family will never dare to go against your sect, we did want to support Her Royal Highness the princess before, but that Gongsun Kang didn't know what method he used to control many high-level people, all of this was Gongsun Kang's fault, it has nothing to do with the rest of the family, Sect Master Fang Mingjian!" β
Fang Lin looked at Gongsun Liang with a sneering face and didn't speak, but Qu Shan'er on the side was laughed at angrily, and said: "Gongsun Liang, do you think that we are all fools like you, you yourself are obviously greedy for profit, and most of the people in your Gongsun family are the same, presumably for that Gongsun Kang's proposal is also a hit." β
When the people of the Gongsun family heard this, their faces suddenly changed in fright, and they knelt down to plead, however, at this moment, there was an earth-shattering shout outside: "Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Meet Her Royal Highness! Meet Her Royal Highness!! β
The voice was higher and higher, and in the end, almost the entire imperial capital could hear it, which made the faces of the people of the Gongsun family look like earth, and they couldn't figure it out at all, how could the army that they thought was 100% in the hands of the Gongsun family fall to others in an instant.
At this time, Princess Xiangxiang walked in, looked at the people of the Gongsun family, showed a touch of unbearability on her face, and said to Fang Lin: "Official, the concubine knows that my grandfather's family has committed an unforgivable sin, but no matter what, they are also relatives of the concubine, so Xiang'er is here to implore the official to give them a chance to make meritorious contributions." After saying that, he was about to kneel.
In a place where everyone was not paying attention, Ayinata squeezed her eyes at Qu Shan'er, and said with her lips: "Xiang'er is so clever in acting." β
Qu Shan'er also smiled silently at her and gave her a thumbs up, and at this time, all the people of the Gongsun family also knelt down in a big way, begging bitterly, and even Gongsun Lin and others, who rushed in to protect Princess Xiangxiang, also knelt down in unison to plead for their own people.
Fang Lin hurriedly helped Princess Xiangxiang up, sighed and said, "Hey, you, your heart is too soft, but how can I refuse your request." β
As he spoke, he looked at the Gongsun family and said coldly: "For Xiang'er's sake, this sect only punishes the evil today, and does not burden others, so Gongsun Kang's vein must be cut down and eradicated, and your Gongsun family will see how it will perform in the future!" β
"Thank you for the sect master's grace not to kill, we will definitely do our best, and we will die!" Gongsun Liang said excitedly.
β’β’β’β’β’β’
In a blink of an eye, three months passed like this, and one day, three heart-shaking breaths suddenly rose to the sky in the Provincial Sin Domain, which did not disperse for a long time, and then three loud laughs spread throughout the entire Provincial Sin Domain, making the disciples who practiced in it couldn't help but open their eyes.
After a while, the laughter stopped, and the three figures suddenly landed on the main peak, and the disciples who had already gathered gathered bowed and saluted when they saw the three of them: "Congratulations to the three seniors for their cultivation!" β
The elephant woman looked at everyone with a smile: "Get up, we don't have so many etiquette." β
At this moment, Monkey Win's face suddenly changed, and the next moment he flew onto the Heavenly Punishment Platform without hesitation and closed his eyes, his whole body was shrouded in a layer of yellow aura.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this, and then a disciple asked, "What are you doing here?" β
Mei Ji looked at Monkey Ying and said with envy: "He's about to break through, he's really envious, as long as he can survive the tribulation, he will be a fourth-level spirit beast, and then the bloodline will evolve and completely break through the current shackles." β
Xiang Po smiled, patted Mei Ji's shoulder and said: "Sister don't be envious, didn't we also take that critical half step, Monkey Win that guy because the precipitation time is longer than ours, so he took the lead, we will take that half a step sooner or later, hehe~~"
Immediately followed by the incomparably terrifying, so that everyone felt frightened by the nine thunder tribulations, although Monkey Win carried them down one by one, but he himself was almost half a life, showing his original form and crawling on the heavenly punishment platform, however, his eyes were exceptionally bright.
Seeing this, Mei Ji and Xiang Po immediately flew over, fed him a golden vitality pill, and used their skills to help him refine the medicinal power.
"Could it be that this is the catastrophe that breaks through the realm of life and death, it's really terrifying, if it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to bear it." A disciple said dumbfoundedly.
"Go, go, you're just in the Nine Secluded Realm and you're going to bear the thunder tribulation of the Ruins Realm, it's really ambitious." Another disciple scoffed.
"Hold your breath and concentrate and carefully digest what you have gained this time!" While the two were laughing, an elder drank in a deep voice, and all the disciples reacted at once, and immediately sat cross-legged and closed their eyes, concentrating and calming.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound from outside the Provincial Sin Domain, and a group of disciples suddenly woke up, and a disciple of the Yin Yang Realm spoke: "It's not good, it is said that the spirit beasts have a period of weakness after the end of the advanced tribulation, and at this time, other demon beasts will take the opportunity to attack him and eat his flesh and blood and demon pills, now it's not the beast tide coming!" β
At this moment, Ying Yue walked out of her cave, still holding a snow-white little wolf in her arms, but the little guy slept very sweetly at this time, looked at everyone, and said softly: "Don't be nervous, they are all low-level demon beasts, and they can't have any impact on our mountain protection array at all, not to mention that with this seat here, they don't dare to be presumptuous at all!" β
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, so they stopped caring about the others and concentrated on understanding.
After about three hours, Monkey Ying slowly regained his human form and stood up, nodding towards Mei Ji and the others, although his appearance did not change, but there was a trace of majesty out of thin air, and people with lower realms did not even have the courage to raise their heads in front of him.
Suddenly, there was a cry like a dragon and a beast roaring from the deepest part of the mountain range, the sound seemed to be not loud, but it could make everyone hear it clearly, just when everyone was in doubt, Monkey Ying raised his head to the sky and made a monkey's chirp, and the sound was also not loud.
"Looks like that guy is warning you." Mei Ji said.
"Well, after all, this is his world, and the existence of a second fourth-level spirit beast is not allowed, and I must leave within three days." The monkey wins.
At this moment, the light of the teleportation array flashed, Li Mengyang walked out, walked quickly to Invite Yue and bowed down and said: "Are the four seniors out of the customs, it's really good, the sect master has just sent an order, if the four seniors are out of the customs, they will immediately rush to Yuguo Hancheng!" β
β’β’β’β’β’β’
In the Hancheng meeting hall, a group of high-level leaders of the Linghua Army were discussing it, and Qiu Jinlong rushed to Fang Lin with a fist and said respectfully: "Sure enough, as the sect master expected, although the Qin State and the Dugu tribe have sent a lot of reinforcements, they are all huddled in Maocheng, and they don't dare to take the initiative to provoke us at all." β
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, Fang Lin raised his hand and said, "Tell me how many troops they have now, how many masters they have, and whether there are any reinforcements to continue to come." β
The scout general got up and said: "At present, there are four million troops in Maocheng, all of which are composed of the Qin army, the Dugu tribe and the surrounding three small country alliances, and the specific number of masters in the life and death realm is unknown, but we should have nearly thirty in our analysis!" Among them, the highest cultivation is still Dugu Tianying, as of yesterday, there are no reinforcements coming again. β
This string of data exploded, which immediately made everyone gasp, this is indeed an extremely terrifying force, I am afraid that even Li Xiaofeng's battle of Tianlei Pass has not reached such a terrifying number of masters.
Fang Lin didn't say anything about this, and continued to ask lightly, "What is the current situation of our army?" β
Feng Wanchun immediately got up and said: "Our army now has a total of about 1.8 million, including 300,000 sect disciples, the lowest cultivation level is the Taiji realm, and there are also sect disciples coming one after another, twenty-five powerhouses in the life and death realm, I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to fight!" β
Just when Fang Lin wanted to speak, an old woman's voice came from a distance: "Little Ah Yin, you are really naughty, you don't want to go home after running out for so long, don't you know that everyone is worried about you." β
There was no blame in the tone, no questioning, but there was a deep concern and joy, as soon as she heard this voice, Ayinata's tears flowed out, she stood up and ran out, everyone was shocked when they saw it, knowing that the person who came was definitely a master, so they all walked out.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that there are really a lot of masters here, I don't think I'm an opponent, but I'm not here to make trouble, I'm just here to find my own little granddaughter, you don't have to be nervous." At this time, the old woman's voice sounded again.
"Seniors, please don't do it, she is my holy aunt, I guarantee that she has no malicious intent!" Hearing this, Ayinata immediately shouted anxiously.
When Fang Lin heard this, he knew that it was many masters on his side who had locked their divine thoughts on the old woman, but after listening to Ayinata's words, he hesitated slightly and said, "All seniors, put it away, this senior should have no malicious intent." β
As soon as the words fell, the twenty or so divine thoughts were instantly retracted, as if they had never appeared, and then Fang Lin smiled politely at the holy aunt in the distance: "This senior, since it is Ah Yin's grandmother, can you please enter the account?" β
"Hehe, little doll, you are Fang Lin, indeed a young hero, but you don't have to go in, the old body is here to pick up Ah Yin back this time, she has been out for a long time, thank you for your care during this time, if you have time to come to the north of the Huanhua Wetland in the future, I will definitely sweep the couch to greet you, hehe, little Ah Yin, don't come over quickly." Holy Aunt Road.
"No, Holy Aunt and Grandma, I don't want to go back, I stole the snake staff, and at that time, the sect leader Daddy ordered me to be killed, if I go back, the sect leader Daddy will definitely kill me." Ayinata said.
"Silly girl, your sect leader Daddy loves you so much, how can he be willing to beat you to death, that's just what he said, if he really wants to kill you, how can you and Gulovana escape, and besides, we have all investigated clearly, you stole the snake staff at the instigation of Gulovana, and as a result, she calculated and suffered a lot, hey, your sect leader Daddy regrets it very much, and often blames himself, I just hope you can go back early, so, come with me now." The holy aunt comforted.
Listening to the words of the Holy Aunt, Ayinata's tears couldn't help but fall down, crying: "Woo, it's so good, I'm finally no longer wronged, the sect leader Daddy knows that I was framed, woo, it's great." β
There was a touch of doting in the eyes of the holy aunt, and she said with a smile: "Hehe, silly boy, you have been out for so long and have had enough, you should go home, go back with me, your sect leader and father must be happy to see you." β
A yearning smile appeared on Ayinata's face when she heard this, and she raised her feet and was about to walk towards the Holy Aunt, but at this moment, a sharp cry came from behind: "Ayinata! β
β’β’β’β’β’β’
