The women began to talk nonsense.

Ye Changan: "......"

"Stop! Anyway, I also said, if you don't believe me, I can't help it. ”

Ye Changan spread his hands helplessly.

As long as they don't think elsewhere, Ye Changan feels that it doesn't matter.

While the women were talking, Ye Changan left silently.

Only the little guy looked at his father, and then at his mother and aunts.

It seems that something is wrong, but I can't tell.

……

The following days were very uneventful.

Ye Changan and his entourage stayed in Wudang Mountain and did not go anywhere.

There is nothing big happening on the rivers and lakes.

The various martial arts sects, the cultivation that should be cultivated, and the money that should be made make money.

There is no longer the same conflict as it used to be.

In these days, Ye Changan received letters from Lu Xiaofeng and Qiao Feng.

It means that the manor is completed, when will you take Ling'er back to Qixia Town.

Ye Changan replied to the letter, saying that he would go back when the matter on his side was dealt with.

In this way, half a year passed slowly.

It seems that everything has become much calmer.

……

Capital.

Imperial Palace.

Zhu Houzhao was holding a court meeting with hundreds of civil and military officials.

The atmosphere in the court was lively, and the civil and military officials talked about the world's major events and recent arrangements.

Zhu Houzhao commented on a sentence or two from time to time, or gave some orders.

"Zhong Aiqing, do you still have something to do?"

"If it's okay, then ...... back"

Before Zhu Houzhao finished the last word "chao", a soldier hurriedly rushed in outside the Imperial Palace.

The soldier wears armor and carries a long knife at his waist.

Sweating all over his head, he looked very tired.

There was also a strong smell of sweat on his body.

The official who smelled it couldn't help frowning and covered his nose.

"Your Majesty, the frontier is eight hundred miles urgent!"

Ignoring the disgusted looks of the officials present, the soldier took out a bloody letter from his arms.

"Your Majesty, the frontier is eight hundred miles urgent!"

"The 300,000 troops of the Mongol Dynasty suddenly attacked the border of my Ming Dynasty!"

"Now we have captured three cities in a row!"

After the soldier finished speaking, the whole person fainted.

In order to deliver the eight-hundred-mile urgent letter to the capital, he had not eaten or drunk for several days.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly ordered:

"Quick, come on, bring it down!"

The guards at the gate rushed in and took the fainting man down.

The letter in his hand had been handed to Zhu Houzhao by the eunuch.

Zhu Houzhao had a gloomy face and looked at the letter in his hand.

The civil and military officials in the court talked a lot.

"The Mongol Dynasty actually raided my Ming border, and they dared to break the contract!"

"Is the Mongol Dynasty an ornament when we are the army of the Ming Dynasty?"

"300,000 troops! The Mongol dynasty is crazy! ”

"Since the Mongol Dynasty wants to fight, how can my Ming Dynasty be afraid? War! ”

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

The civil and military officials shouted in unison.

Don't look at the intrigue of everyone on weekdays, but in wartime, everyone is bloody.

They are not afraid of war, they are not afraid of death.

Because they are in the Ming Dynasty.

It is the Ming Dynasty that the emperor can conquer in person.

It is different from the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty next door.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao, who had finished reading the letter, slapped the handle on the dragon chair violently.

Seeing this, the eunuch next to him shouted:

"Silence!"

All the civil and military officials closed their mouths, staring at Zhu Houzhao, waiting for Zhu Houzhao's arrangement.

Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice:

"The Mongol Dynasty is ambitious, and this time it not only sent 300,000 troops to attack my Ming Dynasty!"

"At the same time, they also sent 200,000 troops to attack the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty."

"Other foreign dynasties got the news and cooperated with the Mongol Dynasty, intending to take this opportunity to destroy our Central Plains Dynasty!"

The content of the letter was the news that the Mongol Dynasty and other foreign dynasties had gone south to attack the Central Plains Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao was angry that all the foreign dynasties that called him ministers to the Ming Dynasty on weekdays were actually treacherous.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and the minister suggests inviting Zhuge Shenhou, Guo Zhushen, Iron Guts Shenhou, Qinglong Commander, Lord Wang Zhiwang, and Lord Cao Zhengchun Cao to come to negotiate."

A minister walked out and said.

None of these people came to today's court meeting.

Not only today's court meeting, since the last time the Blue Dragon was destroyed, these people have not appeared in the court.

At the beginning, some ministers speculated that Zhu Wuzhi and others were preparing to retire, so they did not come to the court meeting.

But later, these people will often appear in the capital, and Zhu Houzhao did not announce the news of their retirement, so everyone hid this speculation in their hearts.

As for what Zhu Wuzhi and the others were busy with, the civil and military officials didn't know.

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly.

It is indeed necessary to discuss with Zhuge Zheng and others.

After arranging it for so long, it's time to test the "results".

Zhu Houzhao stood up from the dragon chair and said loudly:

"The Mongol Dynasty and the rest of the foreign dynasties have betrayed their promises and violated their direct agreement with our Ming Dynasty."

"This Ming Dynasty is the largest dynasty in the Central Plains, how can I be afraid of that foreign dynasty!"

"I, this time I'm going to drive the expedition!"

"I want to show the Mongol Dynasty and those foreign dynasties that the common people of the Ming Dynasty are not so easy to bully!"

"My Daming country, not everyone can trample on it!"

After speaking, all the civil and military officials below knelt on the ground.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor......"

"Hooray......

At the end of the court meeting, Zhu Houzhao went directly to the imperial study.

The Imperial Study.

Zhuge Zheng and the others have been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao coming in, he was about to salute, but Zhu Houzhao waved his hand first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why I called you over, I think you all know it."

"I don't want to say more, how did you do the things I arranged for you before?"

Zhu Houzhao went straight to the point, without twists and turns.

Time cannot be delayed.

The 300,000 troops of the Mongol Dynasty are eyeing the border of the Ming Dynasty, and the longer it drags on, the more ordinary people will be bullied.

It's okay to lose your territory, but you can't let the people of the Ming Dynasty be bullied by the soldiers of the foreign dynasty.

Zhuge Zheng I arched my hand and said:

"If you go back to the emperor, I will do my best according to the emperor's will, and the effect is very good!"

"If the emperor is free, he can go and inspect it."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head.

"Inspections don't have to be."

"Now that the army is pressing, we don't have that much time."

"Later, when you go back, contact the generals and let them go with me!"

"I'm going to scare all those alien dynasties this time!"

"Let them know that my Central Plains Dynasty is not so easy to bully!"

Zhuge Zheng and a few of us got up and saluted Zhu Houzhao.

"Your Ministers obey!"

The atmosphere in the entire capital was suppressed.

The news of the Mongol Dynasty's raid on the Central Plains Dynasty did not take long to spread.

In the Ming Dynasty, the common people did not have too much worry.

Knowing that his emperor wants to drive the expedition in person, the common people will make a strong contribution, those who have money will pay, and those who have grain will pay food.

On the way to the border, Zhu Houzhao rejected the people one after another after knowing the behavior of the people.

The treasury has been quite full in recent years, and in addition to the collapse of Qinglong Mountain before, his precious sister Ling'er gave herself "100 million" of lost gold and silver treasures.

Therefore, for this war with the Mongol dynasty, there is no fear of loss of the treasury at all.

There is no need for ordinary people to donate their little money and food.

……

The common people all knew about this, and all the major sects also knew about the Mongol Dynasty's attack on the Ming Dynasty.

In a certain sect, the head of the sect shouted angrily:

"Did the Mongol Dynasty really deceive me, did the Ming Dynasty have no one!?"

"Send 300,000 troops to raid my Daming, do you really think that our people are dead?"

"Someone! Gather my disciples and go with me to the frontier to kill the alien man completely! ”

……

"The Mongol dynasty is so deceitful!"

"How can the heroes of our generation sit idly by?!"

"It's not like other sects to go to the land over there and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"

……

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband!"

"Although I don't like the Ming court, but the Ming Dynasty is my Central Plains Dynasty, how can I let the aliens occupy it?"

……

"We should choose an alliance leader to come and lead us to that side."

"Otherwise, even if we go, we will be like scattered sand."

……

"That makes sense, but who should we find to be the leader of this alliance?"

"If you choose an alliance leader now, it's too late!"

"The people of the frontier, where can I afford to wait for the Ming Dynasty?"

……

"Do you want to go to Wudang Mountain?"

"You mean to find a real person to take us?"

"Zhang Zhenren? No, I mean to find Ling'er! ”

"Ling'er? Who is this man? ”

"You forgot? PHS, one of the five uniques of the Southern Song Dynasty? ”

"The deputy leader of the Southern Song Dynasty Beggar Gang!"

"The head of the Loose Sect!"

"The granddaughter of the Five Peerless Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master.!"

"The granddaughter of the Seventh Duke of Beibeg!"

"The granddaughter of Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Zhenren of the Wudang faction!"

"The daughter of the eldest princess of the Shifting Flower Palace!"

"The niece of the Sun Moon God Sect Leader Dongfang Undefeated!"

"The niece of the seven young men of the Jiangnan Hua family and the four eyebrows Lu Xiaofeng!"

"Sword God Ximen Blowing Snow also wants to call her a master!"

"The former Beiqiao Peak, she wants to call her uncle!"

"By the way, she is still the princess Xiaoyao Princess personally appointed by the emperor of our Ming Dynasty!"

"The most important thing is!"

"People's father, even killed Bai Yujing, the dragon head of the Blue Dragon Society, and it is rumored that her father is still in the land immortal realm!"

"Zhang Zhenren may not be as powerful as her father!"

……

"This ...... I kind of understand why you're looking for her, not Zhang Zhenren. ”

"That's it! She is not only a person in our rivers and lakes, but also a person in the imperial court! With her leading us, it can be regarded as representing our Jianghu people! ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it! Let's go! ”

"Why are you walking so fast?"

"I want to meet the person you are talking about! When I first entered the rivers and lakes, I didn't expect to be able to meet such a powerful person, and I can be regarded as dying without regrets! ”

……

The large and small Jianghu sects of the Ming Dynasty seem to have made an agreement to go to Wudang Mountain.

If you want to talk about anyone's status in the rivers and lakes, except for Zhang Sanfeng, the head of the Wudang faction, that is Ling'er.

Just kidding, Ling'er has been in the rivers and lakes for nearly two years, and it is not for nothing!

Knowing that Ling'er was in Wudang Mountain, everyone went to Wudang Mountain as if they had found the backbone.

In addition to the martial arts sect rushing to Wudang Mountain, large and small Jianghu scattered people also rushed there.

……

Seven Heroes Town.

Hua Manlou, Lu Xiaofeng, Qiao Feng, Ximen Blowing Snow, and Sun Xiuqing also got the news that the Mongol Dynasty was attacking the Ming Dynasty.

"I've got my horses ready and ready to go!"

Hua Manlou said to Lu Xiaofeng and the others.

"Shall we go directly to the frontier?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked suspiciously.

As soon as the words fell, Qiao Feng interrupted Lu Xiaofeng.

"No!"

"Let's go, there are few people and there is a decline, if we go like this, I'm afraid we will take the lead before we kill a few Mongolian soldiers."

After all, it is an army of 300,000, no matter how high the martial arts are, there will be times when the internal strength is exhausted.

Coupled with the fact that there are so many people on the other side, the danger of rash action is also very great.

"We should go to Wudang Mountain first and go to Ye Gongzi and Ling'er!"

Qiao Feng said his plan.

His thoughts went to the same as those of other Jianghu sects.

"I'm in favor of Big Brother Joe! Let's go to Wudang Mountain to meet Ye Gongzi and them first, and then make plans! ”

Simon Blowing Snow said.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou didn't make sense, they just got on the horse and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

A few people were just about to leave, when Bai Zhantang's voice came from behind them.

"Lao Bai, what are you going to do?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"I'm going with you!"

Bai Zhantang said in a deep voice.

"You're going too?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked in surprise.

He knew what kind of person Bai Zhantang was.

Although he is a thief, after retiring, he will no longer get involved in anything.

Moreover, the whole person is also very afraid of death.

Bai Zhantang nodded and said:

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband!"

"If you go, I'll go too!"

Hua Manlou looked left and right, frowned and said:

"You are with us, what about Sister Xiangyu?"

"This trip is more auspicious, if you have any accidents, we can't explain to Sister Xiangyu."

They all know about the matter between Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu.

Although the two of them have not pierced the layer of window paper, in the eyes of outsiders, there is no difference between them piercing and not piercing.

Tong Xiangyu has already lost her husband once, if Bai Zhantang follows again, in case of an accident, will Tong Xiangyu have to experience another widow?

"Xiaohua, let him go."

At this time, Tong Xiangyu's voice came.

Following the prestige, I saw Tong Xiangyu coming over.

came to Bai Zhantang, and after tidying up Bai Zhantang's clothes, he said quietly:

"Who has not died since ancient times? Keep Dan in mind. ”

"That's what Xiucai told me."

"My family has this heart, and I won't stop him."

Bai Zhantang looked at Tong Xiangyu sadly.

He understood what Tong Xiangyu meant.

Tong Xiangyu didn't want to go by herself.

But when the country is in danger, how can a seven-foot man watch a foreign race invade my Central Plains?

She understands Bai Zhantang, and Bai Zhantang understands her.

"Go ahead, I'll cook a meal at the inn and wait for you to come back."

Tong Xiangyu had tears in her eyes and said softly. (End of chapter)
