On this side, Lu Yuan is a good teacher, and on the other side, the Five Poison Sect and the Western Shu Kingdom, under the threat of the upcoming Bai Mengyang, have also begun to act.

Baling City.

As the capital of Yueyang Mansion, this city is built next to Junshan Mountain and Qianli Dong Tingze, located on the side of the great river waterway, controlling the east, west, north and south, it can be described as a first-class local town.

Therefore, the county administration of Dongting County was established in Baling City.

For example, although there are disputes today, and wars can be seen everywhere in the south, south, and north, those disturbances seem to be far away in the sky, and they cannot hinder the prosperity of Baling City in the slightest.

Baling follows the waterway of the Yangtze River and can go directly to Xiangyang County of Zhou State to the north. To the east, along the waterway, you can directly reach Yuzhang County, Linhai County, and Guangling County. To the south, along with the tributaries of the Yangtze River, you can directly reach all parts of Dongting County.

To the west, it goes up the river to Xichuan County.

In such a position that connects the north and the south, Baling County is naturally extremely rich.

On the wharf outside the city, thousands of sails rise and fall, and the goods from all over the north, south, east and west have all arrived here, and then they are traded and sent to all countries in the world.

Although the business in the west could not be done for the time being due to the rebellion in Xichuan County, this did not affect the prosperity of Baling City in the slightest.

On the contrary, because of the shortage of goods in various places, business travelers from all over the country have been scrambled, making commerce prosperous in disguise.

No matter how turbulent the world is, no matter how much the people can't afford to eat, those rich and rich people will always be unable to suffer themselves.

In the words of those trading houses in the city, as long as the dignitaries and dignitaries in the world are still there, then this Baling City will not fall, and what we have is silver to earn.

"I didn't expect that in these troubled times, Baling City would still be so prosperous."

Fuhai Restaurant in the city, in a box on the second floor, eight people gather together. One of them, a middle-aged man of a different race with a majestic appearance and a different appearance from the Yue people, stood at the window, his eyes retracted from a distance, looked at the person next to him and sighed: "In the past, when I heard the name of this city, I thought it was a bit exaggerated.

But when I came here today, there was no vain under the fame, and I felt that even Jinguancheng was far behind. ”

Jinguan City, is the county of Xichuan, this place is rich in cloud brocade silk, is a unique in the world. So the imperial court set up a brocade official here, and then called this city by the official name.

Later, due to the prosperity of commerce and trade, it attracted a large number of household registrations, and at its peak, it was said that there were 100,000 families in the city, which was the famous capital of the world.

Of course, today's Jinguan City has become the capital of Xishu, and the Jinguan in the city is still there, but the prosperity is no longer what it used to be.

So at this time, this middle-aged alien couldn't help but sigh when he saw Baling City, which was as famous as Jinguan City in the past.

"Jinguancheng is also the famous capital of the world, even if it is declining at this time, but as long as the Shu Emperor manages it a little, it will not take a few years to restore prosperity, so why envy here."

Next to him, Lan Zhaoyun, who had changed his makeup and dressed up, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this at this time.

Yes, the middle-aged man in front of him is Li Xiong, who is now dominating Xichuan and founding the country.

Now this person is here in person, for the sake of the cooperation with the Five Poisons Sect a month ago.

"Lan Sect Master doesn't need to worry, I know that your sect has always regarded Dongting County as its own territory, and this Baling City has been looking at it for a long time."

Li Xiong glanced at Lan Zhaoyun, who was a little vigilant, and explained with a smile: "Don't worry, I only want to hold Xichuan County, and this one-third of an acre of land will leave a happy land for my Qiang people."

The rest of the things of expanding the territory and competing for hegemony in the world, the emperor has never thought about it. This Dongting County will always belong to the Miao brothers. ”

When Lan Zhaoyun heard this, although the smile on his face was full, he didn't believe the other party's words in his heart.

Now in troubled times, who wants to live in a corner and be a guardian dog?

But if there is a chance, who doesn't want to dominate the world and mix in the world?

If you Li Xiong didn't have the ambition to unify the world, then after conquering Jinguancheng last year, why did you call the emperor after the founding of the country, he didn't first sort out the internal affairs and stabilize the interior, but hurriedly led an army of 100,000 to the east?

Isn't it ambition yet?

Not to mention this emperor of Shu.

Even he Lan Zhaoyun never thought that after unifying Dongting County, he would continue to fight in the south and the north, replace the court of the Yue people, and be the lord of the nine counties in the world.

However, at present, the two sides are mainly cooperating, and everything else must be leaned back before the main goal of attacking the Yue court.

Therefore, Lan Zhaoyun smiled, and skipped the topic: "This time, the sect leader personally led the team, and the left and right protectors of the sect were taught, and the saint took action with him. I wonder what happened to your country? ”

In order to get rid of the innate grandmaster in Baling City, the Five Poisons Sect can be said to have done its best.

The only three first-class masters in the sect, one innate grandmaster, were all dispatched, just to complete their work.

"Your sect is working so hard, and our country will naturally not fall under the people. Like your religion, including the emperor, one congenital and three first-class are all here. ”

Li Xiong smiled confidently, and then moved his gaze to the young woman behind Lan Zhaoyun, who was veiled and masked, and said with a little emotion: "But this emperor didn't expect that your sect would have a congenital grandmaster without making a sound, and he would cover the news so tightly.

For several years, there has never been any relevant news in the rivers and lakes, which is really surprising.

Your religion is so meticulous, and it is not small to think about it. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor of Shu paused, and then said to Lan Cai'er: "Counting it up, this emperor only achieved congenital last year, and so far it is only a stable realm, and he still has a deep understanding of various mysteries of innate nature."

But the saint has been born for several years, and when it comes to the innate way, the saint is the emperor's predecessor.

Now, after several years of penance, I think that the Holy Maiden should become more and more profound, far better than me.

This Governor of Dongting County, Wuyang Marquis Li Rail, is an old grandmaster who has entered the innate realm for thirty years.

Although it is rumored that he has always been in the first realm of congenital beings, he has not been able to break through the second realm for a long time. But even so, it is also profound, far from being comparable to a newcomer like me.

I heard that the Five Poisons Sect has a body of ten thousand poisons, and she is a saint with talent, but she has already practiced it, and she is proud of the world.

It's better to assassinate this time, with the saintess as the mainstay, and the emperor on the side to assist, just be a starter. ”

Li Xiong smiled and said very modestly.

But when Lan Zhaoyun next to him heard this, he was dissatisfied: "Emperor Shu has a good calculation. I hid in the back, but let the family of one of my daughters in the front of my family. Aren't you afraid that this news will spread and cause the world to laugh? ”

The so-called gun shoots the first bird.

Even if it is an assassination, the first person to do it will undoubtedly attract the most counterattacks from the assassinated.

Li Xiong said that he was humble, but in fact, he wanted Lan Caier to be a shield for him. Lan Zhaoyun is so scheming, how could he let his daughter take such a risk?

Sect Master Lan laughed. The emperor just admired the saint's cultivation and didn't dare to sacrifice his ugliness in front of her. Since the Blue Sect Master is unwilling, then forget it. ”

Li Xiong saw that the other party was not fooled, and he was not entangled, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Since this is the case, when we make a move, we will shoot together." Facing the lore at the same time, it is also good that Li Liang can't react and increase the chance of success. ”

Lan Zhaoyun is actually a little dissatisfied with this. But this is actually the fairest, so I can only nod and say, "That's it." ”

Seeing that the other party agreed, Li Xiong smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "Then the matter is settled." I'll wait for tonight to do it, when most of the people in the city are asleep, facing the weakest guards around Li Liang. At this time, the success rate is the greatest. ”

"Yes."

At the time of the hour, it is indeed the time when the Jianghu people assassinate the people like to pick the most, and Lan Zhaoyun has no opinion.

In this regard, the two sides reached a consensus.

Then Li Xiong said: "With me and eight other people working together, Li Liang will not be lucky tonight." But this person is only the weakest of the five innate grandmasters of the Great Yue Dynasty.

Even if we kill him, it will still be difficult for us to succeed.

Before this departure, I had already launched a large army in China, preparing to wave another 100,000 troops this spring to capture the last Wushan Mansion in Xichuan and open up the passage to Dongting County. ”

The emperor of Shu said his plan, then turned his head to look at Lan Zhaoyun and said: "At that time, I also hope that your sect can mobilize the Miao people, set off uprisings in various parts of Dongting, capture the prefecture and county, and cooperate with us." ”

Last year, Li Xiong led 100,000 troops to attack Wushan Mansion, but in the end, because of the reinforcements from Dongting County and the action of Li Rail, the innate grandmaster, he finally returned home.

But now, if he can assassinate Li Liang successfully, in addition to this innate grandmaster, he will definitely be able to shake the fighting spirit of the defenders of Wushan Mansion. If Dongting County is in chaos in the rear, then it will be easy to break through Wushan Mansion.

"That's fine."

Hearing Li Xiong's proposal, Lan Zhaoyun opened his mouth and agreed. He already had the idea of taking advantage of the situation to raise troops after getting rid of Li Rail.

At this time, it coincides with the other party.

However, after Ying Xia, in order to show his strength and at the same time to deter his allies, he said: "This time, I will mobilize 100,000 Miao soldiers in the county and launch an uprising in the land of Qifu.

Those who are unprepared will be difficult to resist.

At that time, you and I will be connected together, and there will be 200,000 male divisions, that is, Bai Mengyang will lead the troops, and how can you endure us? ”

Sure enough, when he heard the news that the Five Poisons Sect was able to mobilize 100,000 Miao soldiers, a flash of surprise flashed in Li Xiong's eyes.

You must know that he occupies the entire Xichuan County, and the soldiers and horses he can dispatch are only 100,000.

It seems that these Miao people are still underestimated. ’

Li Xiong thought so in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Okay, I wish you a successful uprising when you are still here, and when the country is established, you will be alone with me." ”

Hearing the words of the founding of the country, Lan Zhaoyun suddenly laughed, waved his hand and said: "Emperor Shu said this too early, and it is still unknown whether this incident can come true." ”

Having said that, the confidence and certainty in his tone can't be concealed.

Even the two Dharma Protectors and Holy Maidens of the Five Poison Sect next to them were full of smiles on their faces, obviously having no doubts about whether their own family could establish a country.

Seeing this, a trace of jealousy and vigilance flashed in Li Xiong's eyes.

Lan Zhaoyun guessed correctly before.

As the founding master of a county and an innate grandmaster, how could Li Xiong not have the ambition to unify the world?

It's just that the Yue court is powerful at the moment, and he still needs the help of the Miao people at the moment, so he has to tolerate the other party.

But once the pressure of the Yue people goes, then who the land of the ten mansions and thousands of miles of Dongting County will belong to in the end, but it will be said well.

Of course, these are all things for later. At the moment, it is still important to eradicate Li Rail.

So several people looked at each other and couldn't help laughing together.

People's hearts are separated from their bellies, and whoever is bad knows it.

At this time, the two allies, each with their own evil intentions, began to wait for the arrival of the child.

……

Night.

In Baling City, blood was sprinkled in the sky, and tens of thousands of people cried.

Countless people only heard the thunder and shook the sky, and then the house collapsed and the dead continued one after another.

The two innate masters of the Qiang and Miao people joined forces to send a New Year's surprise to the Yue people.

……

This New Year's surprise gift, Lu Yuan received it two days after the incident.

"What? Captain Commander has been assassinated! ”

In the mansion, Lu Yuan, who came in a hurry, was stunned after listening to Cui Changqing's news.

The governor of Dongting County, that is a congenital powerhouse, a figure of a generation of grandmasters.

Is it a joke that a person like this, who stands at the top of the world by force alone, would be assassinated to death?

"There can be no mistake in the news, this is a general order handed down by the county keeper himself. Just two days ago, in the middle of the night, Lord Commander was assassinated in the palace, and now the body has been experienced, and he has indeed died. ”

Governor Cui was also shocked, and after recovering, he was even more sad.

At this difficult time, the imperial court is missing an innate grandmaster, which can be said to have broken an Optimus Pillar.

Especially here in Dongting County.

Without the innate grandmaster's deterrence, it was hard for him to imagine what chaos would happen here?

Grunt!

After reconfirming the accuracy of the news, Lu Yuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Then he forcibly shook his heart and asked, "Who did it, can you find out?" ”

Cui Changqing said with a hint of resentment: "Judging from the traces left at the scene and the injuries of the deceased, it should be Li Xiong, the puppet emperor of the Western Shu Kingdom, who shot it." His Mianyuan sword is extremely marked.

At the same time, there should also be the Five Poisons Sect in this county.

Among the corpses of the thieves left at the scene, in addition to the two famous first-class masters of Shu Kingdom, the left and right protectors of the Five Poisons Sect were also found.

These demonic cultists were so mad that they went so far as to poison the city. In addition to the assassination of Wuyang Hou, there were thousands of innocent people in the city who were poisoned by these demon sect elements.

What a heinous sin. ”

It turned out to be Li Xiong and the Five Poisons Sect?

When Lu Yuan heard the news, he couldn't help but be shocked again.

Then Li Xiong is okay, after all, he is a congenital emperor, and he has the qualifications to assassinate an innate grandmaster.

But when did the Five Poisons Sect become so bold and dare to participate in such a plan, weren't they afraid of the court's retaliation afterwards?

You must know that even if one Marquis of Wuyang dies, there can still be four other innate grandmasters in the imperial court.

And among the remaining four, it is rumored that the strength of each of them is stronger than that of Wuyang Hou.

Now Bai Mengyang, Marquis of Wu'an, is about to lead his army to Dongting County. The Five Poisons Sect did this, isn't it really afraid of attracting the conquest of this Hou Ye?

With the first-class strength of the four members of the Five Poison Sect, he was really so confident that he would not be afraid of the retaliation of an innate grandmaster?

'I always feel that the Five Poisons Sect should not be so unwise, otherwise it really wants to rebel and raise an army, and it has already been done when the Jinghai Kingdom was not destroyed before, why wait until now?

So they should be sure to do it at this time.

But what kind of confidence and grasp can make them confident and can stop an innate grandmaster......

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan's heart tightened, his eyes widened, but he thought of a possibility.

Taking a deep breath, he looked back at Cui Changqing and asked, "But the Five Poisons have taught an innate grandmaster?" ”

The prefect nodded, his expression heavy: "Although there is no clear news yet." But judging from the traces of the battle that night, there should be one person on the side of the Five Poisons Sect who has reached the innate realm.

That's why in an instant, the poisonous gas can envelop a hundred feet and poison thousands of people.

And only when the two grandmasters act together can they explain clearly, why was Wuyang Hou successfully assassinated? ”

Hearing this speculation, Lu Yuan's heart sank, and then his face was ugly: "Then how is the county government planning now?" ”

Cui Changqing said with a solemn face: "Lord County Shou judged that the Five Poisons Sect dared to assassinate the Marquis of Wuyang with the Shu thieves this time, and it was already antipathetic. This religion has been restless in the past, and has frequently fanned the local Miao rebellion.

This time, it should have been seen that the Marquis of Wu Anhou was about to lead the army to arrive in this county, and he was afraid that the imperial court would liquidate him, so he did such a rebellious thing.

Therefore, Lord County Shou thought that if the Five Poisons Sect dared to assassinate the Marquis of Wuyang, he would never stop there.

With this influence among the Miao people, I am afraid that it will soon set off rebellions and cause trouble in various places.

Therefore, the county government issued a general order overnight, informing all prefectures and counties that I should guard the city and guard against the Miao rebellion. ”

Speaking of this, Governor Cui looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Lord Lu, you are the commander of this mansion and the head of the military attaché. The matter of guarding against the rebellion of the Miao people will be up to you.

Rest assured, the government will fully support and coordinate the logistics and military salaries, and you will not have any worries. ”

Lu Yuan also knew that the situation was critical and the responsibility was heavy, although he was a little worried, he still nodded and said: "Don't worry, my lord, with me, there will be no ...... in Fucheng."

Before he could finish his sentence, suddenly a hurried shout came from outside.

"Newspaper—"

I saw a person dressed as a post guard, and at this time he broke in from the outside, and after seeing the two of them, he knelt down and sent a chicken feather urgent message: "My lord, Xinhua County is urgent." The local Miao people rebelled, and now thousands of people have gathered and have besieged the county seat.

Because of the haste of the incident, there were only 100 county soldiers in the city and some temporary additional strong men to garrison. The county commander sent the villain to send an urgent message, asking the city to send troops to rescue as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it's too late, I'm afraid the city will be difficult to protect. ”

With a bit of poignant, the postman brought bad news to the two.

"The rebellion of the Miao people is coming so soon?"

When Governor Cui heard the news, his expression was a little incredulous.

Lu Yuan was also deeply shocked, but he had been practicing martial arts for a long time, so he reacted more quickly, and immediately said, "My lord, the top priority at the moment is to sweep away the rebellion. ”
