The Taoist priest Ge Ling of Taiping Mountain escorted the ceremonial Cao Chen Weinan and the Confucian scholar Li Wenruo all the way south, eating and sleeping in the open air. On this day, the three of them finally rushed to the Shili Pavilion in the territory of Great Xia, but the sage messenger was missing. As soon as the three of them inquired, they learned that the saint's envoy had left with people the day before yesterday, and they were in a hurry.

Ge Ling was worried about the safety of Uncle Qiu, and seeing that the two of them should be safe in Daxia, he said goodbye to Chen Weinan and the others, hurried back to Taiping Mountain to meet the ancestor, and then brought some more people to Gaojiluo to pick up the little uncle.

"Brother Weinan, the sage envoy left in a hurry without waiting for the lord to read the holy decree, presumably there must have been a major change in Luoyang. ”

"Wen Ruo, I think so too. It's just that I don't know what happened to make the saint's messenger so hurried and confused. ”

"Now it seems that it is no longer feasible for the Lianhe Qingliu Party to kill the eunuchs. If a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Brother Weinan must not go rashly until the situation in Luoyang is clear. Now there are two choices left to choose between training the new army and Ru Ying to avoid trouble, what choice does Brother Weinan make. ”

Chen Weinan looked at the young Confucian who was waiting for his reply and sighed: "The situation in Luoyang has changed abruptly, and the sage envoy left in a hurry, it must be that something big has happened in Luoyang, and there is no sage's holy decree." It is not feasible for me to stay in Beiliang to train the new army now, so the only way to do this is to return to Ruying to avoid trouble and wait for the opportunity to serve the country. I don't know if Wen Ruo is willing to succumb to follow me to Ruying? ”

Although Chen Weinan expects Li Wenruo to return to Ruying with him, after all, the form is changing too quickly now, and it is reasonable that Li Wenruo is unwilling to follow him back to Ruying.

"Brother Weinan, if it weren't for me, Li Wenruo, who saw the wind and made the rudder, was unwilling to go to Ruying with you. It's just that although Fuying originally controlled King Gaojiluo, it still took at least three or five years to clear the remnants of King Gaojiro and cultivate new forces to come to power. According to the original plan, we have enough time to stabilize the mountains and rivers based on Ruying, but now that Luoyang has changed dramatically, we will inevitably not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of all countries, and we are afraid that when the time comes, we will win the ambitions of the wolves of all countries, and when we see that my Great Xia will be chaotic, its fangs and claws will be undoubtedly revealed, and it will definitely take advantage of the chaos to attack my Great Xia in advance. ”

Li Wenruo straightened his clothes, raised his hands into fists above his head, and bowed deeply to Chen Weinan.

"Brother Weinan, I originally wanted to save the sky with you and create immortal achievements together. It's just that now that the situation has changed abruptly, I want to stay in Beiliang, do my best for my hometown fathers, and prepare for the early victory of the prisoners. If he fails to help the prisoner in the future, I, Li Wenruo, will be fortunate to live. If Brother Weinan moves, I Li Wenruo will gladly go to the ends of the earth. 10,000 please, Brother Weinan, no wonder. ”

Chen Weinan hurriedly shook his head, and held up the young Confucian in front of him who was handsome two days ago, but now he is thin and thin. With tears in his eyes, he said: "Wen Ruo, you have the heart to serve the country, how can I, Chen Weinan, be that snob because of my private life." When I go to Ruying, I will do my best to contact my grandfather's protégé and old man to accumulate strength. In order to be able to provide assistance to Wenruo and Beiliang as soon as possible. ”

On this day, the two young people who had just escaped death did not rest in Shili Pavilion, so they said goodbye with tears, one to the south and the other to the north.

No one expected that the two would never meet again in their lives, scholars guarding the country, and military generals in the temple.

A pot of turbid wine goes,

Don't meet on the road of yin and yang.

The man is as dead as iron,

Look at the test hand and mend the crack.

Luoyang City, the ancient capital of thousands of years, Luoyang City, the land of Longxing in Great Xia. Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of Daxia stood here in the stone city of Luoyang. Eight hundred years ago, the founding emperor of Great Xia began Luoyang to win the world. At this moment, Luoyang City has already been bleeding, and the government and the opposition are in chaos.

A few days ago, the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Wu, the uncle of the country, and the general Wu Jin finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to attack the eunuch party on the side of Qingjun. Who knew that the news was leaked, and it was learned in advance by the eunuchs. As soon as the general Wujin entered the palace, he was surrounded by the eunuchs and guards in front of the queen mother, the little emperor and the civil and military officials, and chopped Wujin into a pulp. It can be seen that the hatred of the eunuch party for Wujin has become deep. The poor general Wu Jinquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, and finally ended up with no bones left.

Subsequently, the eunuchs held hostage to the little emperor and the Empress Dowager Wu and other people in the palace and occupied the palace. Let the little emperor issue two edicts, one by one to kill Wu Jin, and the edict is full of Wu Jin's disobedience. The eunuchs killed Wu Jin and didn't finish it, and in another edict, the little emperor also issued an edict to punish Wu Jin and the rest of the party.

The generals who got the news were furious and vowed to avenge the generals, and the generals blew up the camp and killed the messengers, and the rebels rushed into the palace to kill people when they saw them, and the civil and military officials trapped in the palace, and the Qingliu party also suffered, with countless casualties. It's a pity that the thousand-year-old Luoyang City was killed, and the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were all over the field. The palace was looted, and the people of the city were slaughtered by the rebels.

In the chaos, Empress Dowager Wu and Emperor Hongwu of Great Xia were nowhere to be found.

The thousand-year-old Luoyang City and the chaos have arrived.

Eight hundred years of Great Xia, chaos is coming.

On Taiping Mountain, inside the Patriarch's Hall. Ge Ling finished explaining the journey from Gaoziluo to Great Xia. Facing the ancestors, masters, and uncles, Ge Ling felt guilty, and wanted to ask Sin to bring some more people to Gaojiluo to meet the little uncle, but was rejected by the Great Heavenly Master of Taiping Mountain.

"Ge Ling, you don't have to feel guilty, I asked you to go down the mountain with Tongqiu that day, one of them is to let you go with your uncle to pick up Chen Weinan and other loyal people back to Daxia. Second, it also has the meaning of letting the two of you go down the mountain to experience. Qiu Ye will have a catastrophe now, and the time to respond to the catastrophe is at this time, and this matter is the catastrophe that he must respond. But the calamity is also a blessing, and in the end, how to only look at himself, we can't intervene, so don't feel too guilty. ”

"Now there is chaos under the mountain, and chaos is coming. Our Taiping Mountain has been burned with incense under the mountain for thousands of years. In today's troubled times, the people are in trouble, how can I, Taiping Mountain, stand by and watch. We should do our best to protect the people under the mountain. All the people in my Taiping Mountain will go down the mountain on the same day to eliminate the demons and defend the road. ”

"Follow the Patriarch's Decree. ”

The cultivators of our generation have gone up the mountain in prosperous times and down in troubled times, as has been the case since ancient times.

In the Great Xia, Huanghuang Beiliang, and at the foot of the mountain, there were righteous people Chen Weinan, Li Wenruo, Yan Anguo, and Cao Fang who were vying to die in Gaojiluo that day. On the mountain, there are people from my Taiping Mountain who went down the mountain today to kill demons, and they want to exchange the peace of the Taiping Mountain for the peace of the world, and they will only die when they go down the mountain today.

When the bright moon is in the sky, everyone in Taiping Mountain goes down the mountain, and there is only a slightly rickety old Taoist standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the south alone.

Muttered to himself, "I hope our choices are not wrong." Taiping Mountain will depend on you in the future. ”
