Chapter 204: The night will go and the sky will dawn

Honghu Prefecture Shenglong Ferry Outside.

There are no Xianjia ferries docked.

The tea pavilion on the shore is even more gone.

He was originally a disciple of the Shanhai Sect and acted in a play here.

Earlier, the mysterious sect master of the Shanhai Sect said that the waters of the North Sea would flood Honghu Prefecture in less than a month. And the first to bear the brunt is the Thang Long Ferry.

At the beginning, the mountain immortal sects on the Honghu Prefecture, including the Shanhai Sect of the Immortal Sect on the mountain of Yizhou, all planned to abandon the "temple" and flee.

After all, I am not afraid of running out of firewood.

As long as people live, as long as the lives of the disciples of the sect are preserved, then no matter how difficult the road ahead is, it is nothing more than working together to make a comeback.

Just like Mo Yan, the sect master of Wind Thunder City, one of the top ten sects in the world, knew that it was difficult to cross the catastrophe, so he was relieved in the ancestral hall.

The Great Monk of the Nine Realms, who has been cultivating for a hundred years, is one of the ten people who have been swaying, so he just said and left.

The reincarnation of Bingjie is just a matter of starting all over again.

The sect master of the Shanhai Sect, the female shopkeeper Cen Tianchi, also had this mentality at first, and secretly instructed the sect to prepare for the ceremony of the relocation of the sect.

However, he later met a young swordsman and subtly changed the number of qi in a state.

Let's talk about the realm, the kid doesn't even have a golden pill, it stands to reason that he can't get into their eyes at all, but he is such an ordinary teenager, and he lights a stick of incense. The water god who is the co-master of the rivers and rivers is looking at the face of the incense that is not wanted, so he does not hesitate to fall from the god throne to become a mortal, dissipate a body of incense and fire divine power, and cultivate the realm, support the gods of the mountains and rivers of Honghu Prefecture, and help them reshape the golden body, rebuild the temple, and restore the incense and realm.

Although Qin Xuanzhi said that it was because of that young man. But Cen Tianchi always felt that even if Li Zijin had never been to Honghu Prefecture, when the land of a state sank, Qin Xuanzhi would act like this.

But after thinking about it, there was still one thing she didn't understand.

As the water god who is the co-lord of the rivers, can't he directly rely on the divine edict to restore calm to the water of the North Sea and protect Honghu Prefecture?

Cen Tianchi thought about this question for a long time, but he didn't understand it.

However, today, looking at the dozens of Honghu Prefecture landscape gods present, the woman suddenly realized.

The water god can save Honghu Prefecture that fell because of the water of the North Sea, but he can't save Honghu Prefecture that fell because of people's hearts and ghosts.

Even if she waved her hand and let the water of the North Sea flow back, Honghu Zhou would still be the same, and its disease did not lie in the water of the North Sea.

If after this time, the gods of the mountains and rivers of a state can be united and the hearts of the people are united, then in the future, in the face of any difficulties and obstacles, the gods of a state can advance and retreat together with life and death. In other words, Qin Xuanzhi pretended to be the incense of unseeking, in exchange for a glimmer of hope and recognition from these gods for mortals. Make them willing to believe in the world one more time.

So today, the overwhelming sea water outside Thang Long Ferry seems to have unloaded 30% of its strength before it gets close.

Outside the Shenglong crossing, there are countless magic weapons, golden bodies, and supernatural powers.

The golden light is a masterpiece, and the brilliance is circulating.

Dozens of landscape gods are hanging in the air side by side, each controlling magic weapons and exerting magical powers to stop the menacing waters of the North Sea.

Interestingly, before that scene, she thought that the sea water of Thang Long Du would be flooded in an instant, but at this moment, not even a single wave has come ashore.

Obviously, the water god had already laid the foreshadowing before she surrendered to her godhead, and she had already done everything for Honghu Prefecture.

Even this thrilling sea water was also expected by her.

It's nothing more than letting the gods of a state join hands again.

Cen Tianchi glanced at the gradually returning sea water and fell from the sky.

In the sky, the gods cheered and cheered, but at this moment, in the ears of the female shopkeeper, only the sound of the sea and the sigh of another female god standing alone on the beach and watching the sea were heard.

Maybe long before the smoke and rain painted the gods, the water god had already taken away the catastrophe of Honghu Prefecture, and the power of the waves was less than thirty percent.

It also happens to be seventy percent of the water of the North Sea, which can just let the gods and spirits of the mountains and rivers of a state join forces to stop it.

One more, one less, it's not good.

The woman stood on the seashore, gazing at the calm of the sea, as if she could reach thousands of miles away at a glance.

When the sea and the sky are connected, there is a touch of fish belly white, and then there is a golden glow slowly rising.

The night is gone.

————

Solving the hidden danger of the water of the North Sea, Cen Tianchi roamed the sea against the wind to ensure that this catastrophe had indeed been passed.

I happened to see the iQue ferry that was quickly lifted into the air.

The female shopkeeper remembered that today seemed to be his birthday.

Her figure flickered, and she appeared straight on top of the fugue ferry.

didn't board the boat, just turned into a wild goose, flying on the top of the ferry, overlooking the scene on the Xianjia ferry.

There are some coincidences, using the occult magic power of peeking into the heart lake, hearing some foul language, and also hearing some pure and good.

I hear the innocence in some people's hearts, and the dilemma in some people's hearts.

Then I heard the voice of a young man, and he actually felt that on this beautiful day, how could he not have one or two altars of Jiannan burning spring by his side?

Cen Tianchi smiled dumbly, wiped it with his hand, and fell from the air two altars of Jiannan Yaochun, the bottom of the wine jar was covered with a layer of divine power, and he tore open the barrier of the guest room of the iQue ferry, and then closed it as before, silently, dragging the two altars of Jiannan Yaochun to the ground smoothly, and landed next to the hot spring of the "greedy" young man.

The Xu Xi steward of the iQue ferry frowned slightly, as if sensing that something was wrong, and shrank into inches and appeared above the ferry in an instant, but the wild goose was faster, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.

Under the fugue ferry, Cen Tianchi seemed to hold up the behemoth with the power of a palm.

The woman held the iYou ferry and smiled: "Li Zijin, happy birthday." ”

With a wave of his palm, a fugue ferry, faster than fast, went straight out of his palm and galloped away in the clouds.

————

After falling to the realm of refining gods, a woman who returned to the Jindan realm after penance and returned to the realm of Jindan went to Honghu Prefecture.

On the surface of the North Sea, a fairy ferry passed by the woman.

The nose of the fox is extremely easy to use, and it can pinpoint a flavor from hundreds of people.

At the moment when the ferry boat passed by the female fox demon, her figure suddenly stopped, hovered in the air, and glanced back at the extremely fast fairy ferry.

It's a familiar taste.

It's a pity that the ferry comes and goes in a hurry, and there are important things waiting to be dealt with in Honghu Prefecture, and when she hesitates, the female fox demon finally gritted her teeth, gave up the idea of chasing the ferry, and turned around and continued to go straight towards Honghu Prefecture.

The woman muttered, "Childe······ ?”

Daxuan Palace.

Lee has a difficult decision to make.

Last year, after the Yan State refused to hand over Tang Yin and went to war with the Daxuan Dynasty, the surrounding small vassal states that had always paid tribute to Daxuan for the past sixteen years or a prince also began to move.

This year was supposed to be the time of the sixteen-year attack, but this year, those small vassal countries were like eating the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and they learned from the Yan country one by one, and they wanted the city to send troops to get it.

The situation of the Daxuan Dynasty is extremely embarrassing.

If it is really for the sake of a ruined city thousands of miles away, it will be worth the loss by raising troops to wade through mountains and rivers.

After all, the Daxuan Dynasty has always liked other small countries to pay tribute to the prince as a proton to restrain those small vassal states.

Although there are occasional cities, the number of times is really small, and the "cities" given by those small vassal countries are really difficult to call a city, at best, that is, the village is named after the city, and the dilapidated place is not as light as holding the prince hostage.

However, at the moment, a Yan country took the lead in "resisting the order", and the small vassal states followed suit.

Even those small countries that were held by Da Xuan, one by one, the bones seemed to be hardened, and the Da Xuan Dynasty could not really kill the princes of those small countries, acting like this would be equivalent to losing the handle that could continue to threaten the other party, and secondly, it would inevitably leave a tyrannical impression in the eyes of the people of the world and ruin its reputation.

Li Xianzhen, who has always been labeled as benevolence and righteousness, does not want to be this big villain.

However, at present, hundreds of officials are admonishing, and there are thousands of words on top of the twists and turns, but in the end, they can all be summarized into four words.

Punish someone as a warning to others.

Even if he, the Great Xuan Emperor, doesn't do the wicked to the end, he needs to pretend to be a wicked man, otherwise those small vassal states will be safe and sound when they see that they don't pay tribute, won't they follow suit?

So in the future, who will still put his Daxuan dynasty in his eyes.

In terms of national strength, Da Xuan can naturally sweep most of the small feudal states in Cang Gengzhou, but between countries, mountains and rivers are separated, and if the Da Xuan Dynasty, whose territory is already vast enough, has to lead troops to invade small countries from afar, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, Li Xizhen thought about it again and again, and she couldn't make up her mind.

The young emperor had not slept all night, sitting at his desk, supporting his chin with one hand and pinching the fold with the other, his face full of sorrow.

At this time, the old eunuch who stood beside him and served him all night, after being silent all night, finally held back a sentence.

The old eunuch turned around and walked down the steps, saluted respectfully to the young emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, the slave has a word, and I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Li Xizhen slandered in her heart, I don't know if I should talk about it or not, so don't mention the fuck?

But he can't really say that, after all, his own life is still in the hands of this dead eunuch.

Not long after succeeding to the throne, many of the ministers of the court and the central government were dissatisfied with him, and the queen mother and the old eunuch colluded to set up him, an empty shell emperor, and now, there are only ······ on his side

In short, it is not possible to tear the skin of the face.

Li Xizhen smiled and said, "If your father-in-law has something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

The old eunuch got up slowly, but he just stood down and behaved, wanting to speak and stopping.

The young emperor saw that the dead eunuch was acting a good show, so he couldn't help but laugh, and he didn't break it, and continued: "Father-in-law, it's okay to say it!"

The old eunuch got two "orders" from the saint, so he spoke: "The emperor must be worried about the refusal of the small vassal states to pay tribute recently?"

"This matter is particularly tricky, I have been unable to sleep for several nights, I don't know my father-in-law, is there a good plan?" Li Xianzhen raised his hand to signal him to continue.

The old eunuch saluted the young emperor again, and said: "This Manchu official is offering advice to the emperor, where is the turn of the slaves to give advice?"

Li Xianzhen is a little confused about the context of this old guy, what I was going to say just now is you, and it is you who don't talk about it now, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

However, the old eunuch's next sentence made Li Xizhen feel at ease, and he wanted to capture and indulge there.

The old eunuch said, "But······ Presumably the emperor has also heard that 'the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear', it is just that the slaves are deep in the palace, and they are not better than those adults, but they see things more thoroughly. ”

"Father-in-law, you don't want to sell Guanzi, what is the best plan, I will listen to it, if you continue to spit out like this, you can really teach me to be in a hurry!" Li Xianzhen was not shocked in her heart, but on the surface, she had to pretend to be impatient and unable to hold her breath.

After all, this is his normal state in front of the old eunuchs, and he has to do enough to act.

When the old eunuch saw the appearance of the young emperor, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, feeling that the young man just couldn't hold his breath, and he didn't even have this bit of patience.

is nothing more than a puppet emperor who was played with in the hands of him and the queen mother.

The old eunuch finally gave it all and said, "The emperor is not impatient, wait for the slave to talk about it in detail." The reason why the emperor was unable to make a decision was that he felt that it was too unworthy to send troops to those small vassal states? Even if he won the battle, he would not get any benefit, but would waste the people and money. ”

Li Xizhen nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

The old eunuch said: "According to the humble opinion of the slaves, if you want to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, why should you give up the near and seek the far?

The young emperor sighed, frowned slightly, thought for a while, and asked, "What does my father-in-law mean?"

The old eunuch was like "entering the house", boldly walked to the emperor's desk, and stretched out his hand to point to a map of Canggeng Prefecture.

Looking at his fingers, the young emperor was shocked, swallowed and said, "Father-in-law is saying that you should take the Yan Kingdom first?"

"Exactly!" the old eunuch nodded with satisfaction, looking like a teachable child.

Seeing that Li Xianzhen was a little disgusted, she just pretended to have such a sudden sense of realization on the surface, and exclaimed: "What my father-in-law said is not unreasonable, wait for me to think about it before making a decision." ”

That Yan State, it's not that it can't be taken, it's just that Yan State is Cang Gengzhou, and its national strength is second only to that of the Daxuan Dynasty.

As a last resort, Li Xizhen really doesn't want to be an enemy of Yan State.

But if you calculate this matter carefully, it is really the turmoil provoked by Yan State, and those small vassal countries also saw the hardness of Yan State, so they picked their sons not to pay tribute to Da Xuan.

It is said that the bell must be tied to the bell, and the current strategy is indeed to take the Yan Kingdom.

Kill the "chicken" who is the culprit of Yan Guo, and show it to the "monkeys" who are watching from the wall.

It's easy to lose prestige, but it's hard to build it.

Last year, Da Xuan and Yan had a war, with that Taiping County, now Yangui County as the battlefield, the two armies on the mountain and down the mountain forces fought each other, although Da Xuan had the upper hand, but the Yan soldiers were very hard bones, and they were ruthless characters who wanted to tear off a few pieces of meat from the enemy despite the pain of breaking their intestines.

At that time, several generals who led their troops to confront Yan State head-on praised the enemy soldiers, saying that if there is any country in Cang Gengzhou that is the henchman of the Daxuan Dynasty, who is Yan Qi?

In fact, this is also the best policy in the young emperor's heart.

It's just that he must not behave decisively in front of the old eunuch, and he must play his indecisive and hesitant posture to the end.

So even if everything is ready, this young emperor is still saying, "Rong Zhen thinks".

The old eunuch said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the world is watching, the emperor can't hesitate any longer!"

Li Xianzhen hesitated and said, "Rong Zhen think again." ”

The old eunuch had a look of hatred and anger at his misfortune, and paced back and forth in front of the emperor's desk, wandering.

After a long while, seeing that the young emperor was still indecisive over there, the old eunuch propped up the desk with both hands and approached the young emperor, so frightened that Li Xianzhen's body suddenly shrank back.

The old eunuch shouted almost in a commanding tone: "Your Majesty, please also ask the Emperor to send troops to Yanjing!"

Li Xizhen acted very similarly, and even when she shrank back, she was "so frightened" that she even fell to the ground with a fold in her hand.

He was like a weak little sheep at the moment, almost slumped on the golden seat, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Okay······ Just ······ Just send troops to the Yan Realm. ”

The old eunuch who took in the embarrassed appearance of the young emperor couldn't help but have a curvature at the corner of his mouth, but he covered it up well, and instantly restrained it, and then glanced at the little rabbit cub who was shrinking on the seat and didn't dare to move with the corner of his eye.

What a strategizing taste.

The old eunuch turned away satisfied, and said that since the important matter had been decided, he would ask the emperor to rest well, and he would go and help summon some of the generals to discuss the march.

In fact, I want to go to the Queen Mother.

After the old eunuch had gone, the young man on the throne sat up straight from his chair and bent down to pick up the fallen fold.

The face is expressionless.

On top of the iQue ferry.

The handsome young swordsman really soaked in the hot spring all night, holding the little remaining Jiannan Burning Spring in his arms, drunk and hazy.

Later, when the sky was covered with a touch of fish belly white, the young swordsman was drunk and sleepy, and fell asleep directly.

The girl in white at the stone table in the other garden, in the first half of the night, had a whim, and felt that since she had been practicing empty-handed for so long, she must really start making things.

It's too difficult to make clothes, Hong Shao thinks it's better to start with shoes first.

The girl went out of the guest room and went to call a ferry maid and told her to help her bring cloth, cloth mats, and needlework.

Hong Shao plans to make a pair of cloth shoes for his senior brother himself, which can be regarded as practice.

The ferry maid was also a careful girl, not only brought Hong Shao all the materials needed to make cloth shoes, but also carried a night light in her hand, and joked with the girl in white with a smile: "My sister is really ingenious, it's so late, and this heart, that son has a Taoist couple like his sister, what a blessing." ”

A layer of red clouds flew on the girl's face, and she was shy, and hurriedly waved her hand to explain: "It's not a Taoist couple, it's my senior brother." ”

Hong Shao also walked a lot of mountains and rivers with his senior brother, and finally understood the meaning of "Taoist couple", "husband and wife", and "lover", remembering that he used to say that he wanted to marry his senior brother, but he was afraid that it would be a big joke in the ears of his senior brother, but fortunately, the senior brother would never make fun of herself with these old things, otherwise she would really be ashamed of herself.

When the ferry maid heard the words "senior brother and sister", instead of thinking that it was really impossible, she covered her mouth and chuckled: "What's that? There are more fairy couples on the mountain who have tied the knot, and who doesn't know how to love each other for a long time? Who can stand being only a senior brother and sister if they stay together all day and have their ears and temples grinding? My sister is still young, and she will know about it in the future. Hurry up and get your things and make shoes for your brother, hehe. ”

The girl just carried a night lamp in her hand and the materials needed to make cloth shoes, and froze in place, until the ferry maid walked a long way away, she hurriedly fled back to the guest room, and pressed the button to block the guest room with her backhand.

His face was full of shame.

Hongshao walked back into the room, put the lamp on the table, and began to thread the needle.

The book looks simple, empty-handed gestures are also easy, who would have thought that when the girl got started with the actual combat, only to find that needlework is not easy, don't look at a small pair of cloth shoes, but this small pair of cloth shoes, the girl was busy all night, and her hand was pricked by a needle several times, and she only did half of it.

But she still had to hold back and not make a sound in pain, so as not to alarm the senior brother who was soaking in the hot spring and make the senior brother worry.

There was a touch of fish belly white on the horizon.

Hongshao's eyes were full of tiredness, until he couldn't see the veins of the needle and thread clearly, so he quietly put the guy away, hid it in the cabinet drawer, and then walked to the hot spring, and saw Li Zijin sleeping soundly, and didn't know whether to wake him up.

The girl squatted by the hot spring and shouted softly, "Senior brother?"

Li Zijin slept like a dead pig, without moving.

"Senior brother?" the girl shouted again, but still did not get a response.

In desperation, she could only reach out and snatch the altar of Jiannan Burning Spring in Li Zijin's arms.

Good guy, this stretch out of his hand to grab the wine woke up Li Zijin in an instant, and the young man hurriedly pulled half a jar of wine, and then the senior brother and sister stared at each other.

"Senior brother, you've been in the pool all night, go to bed and rest. Hong Shao said.

The young man with a groggy head and a surge of blood all over his body glanced at the little junior sister who was close at hand, nodded and said, "Help me finish the sobering tea first." ”

Hong Shao came and went in a hurry, took a bowl of sobering tea from the ferry handyman, and fed it to his senior brother.

My head is clearer.

Li Zijin opened the little junior sister, climbed into the hot spring, dressed up, tied the jade plate, held the cuiqu, walked back to the house, and said, "Then I'll sleep for a while." If you're hungry for lunch, you can eat it yourself, so you don't have to call me. ”

The girl nodded obediently.

It is clearly one guest room, but in the annex, there are two rooms.

The two brothers and sisters each have a room and a bed, and they both sleep on the bed.

By the time the two of them woke up, it was dark again.

The iQue ferry docked at a fairy ferry, and many guests got off the boat to play at the ferry, and there were some fairy shops at the ferry.

After dinner, the boy and girl thought that it would be better to go to the fairy shop to shop, and it happened that Li Zijin wanted to buy a quenching sword stone for the little junior sister to help her refine Wen Jian Cangjie.

On the steps of the iQue ferry, Xu Xi, the ferry manager, reminded with a smile: "The two of you can relax and go shopping, Xu will wait here until all the guests have returned to the ferry, and then put away the stairs." However, please try to keep your time to three hours, after all, there are still a number of guests on our ship who don't like to play and are busy on the road. Towards two understandings. ”

This set of rhetoric, in fact, Xu Xi said it to every guest.

Li Zijin naturally nodded and agreed, and then took the little junior sister off the iGue ferry and came to the ferry to visit the fairy shop.

This place is called Yuzhou Du, I heard that there is a Yuzhou city nearby, the houses in the city are all built around the mountain, up and down the ups and downs.

There is a special feature in the city.

The mountains are all over the field, all of which are hot pot.
