Volume 5 [Blood Moon Demon Sorrow] 373: The Goddess Fell to Three Tribulations

Mona witnessed the Iron Lady jumping off the pagoda, and she hurried to the entrance to listen carefully. In less than a quarter of an hour, there was some noise under the pagoda. She felt that the time had come, and immediately jumped into .......

The Fuding under the pagoda has been removed by the Iron Lady, revealing a hole the size of a well. Mo Na followed the Iron Maiden into the secret cave. It is a long, narrow corridor that is dark and damp all year round. The water vapor condenses into droplets, which fall from the top of the head from time to time. The sound of falling water continued to echo in the corridor, like an ethereal music, gently vibrating Mona's eardrums.

The stagnant water on the ground had soaked through Mona's cloth shoes. The wet feet made a circle of ripples in the stagnant water, making a 'whoosh' sound. In order to avoid disturbing the Iron Lady with the sound of water under her feet, she simply took off her shoes, revealing her white jade feet, and followed silently behind her with her bare little feet.

When I walked to the end, I finally saw the figure of the Iron Lady shaking faintly in the darkness not far ahead. The orb scatters a dazzling golden light, illuminating the environment everywhere. A huge stone door is displayed in front of the Iron Maiden, and she uses the orb to open the stone door. The moment the stone door opened, a black cliff appeared in front of the Iron Lady. Beneath the abyss of the cliff, you can faintly see something glowing.

Mona stopped, hiding in the darkness and monitoring the Iron Maiden's movements with the Eyes of the Ink Phoenix. Seeing the stone door wide open, in order to see the situation under the cliff, she walked out of the darkness step by step, and slowly approached the ...... behind the Iron Lady.

"You're finally here!" the Iron Lady spotted Morna behind her.

Mona walked over to the cliff and stood side by side with the Iron Lady: "Why? Why did you do this?"

"It's hatred! It's desire! It's an obsession that I can't get rid of for so many years!" replied the Iron Lady quite sincerely.

"I trusted you so much, but you betrayed me, stole my treasures, and tried to steal them. You have received the favor of Xuanyuan Taibei and the ghost iron fan, and I read your gratitude and retribution, so I left you, the crown princess, by my side. I didn't expect you to let me down so much! Is this how you repay your benefactor?"

The Iron Lady said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry! But I couldn't resist the temptation. Originally, I had already dismissed the idea of returning to China—— but the moment you really put the Four Jewels in front of my eyes, I felt that I was closer to my dream! I had never been so close to my dream. My desire for revenge, my dream of recovering my country, has been rekindled by you. ”

Don't say that you don't have that ability, even if you can overthrow the Ming court, but the Ming Emperor is gentle with the world and treats the people of Li with kindness, and has already made all the people return to their hearts. How can you shake the will of hundreds of millions of people? Besides, even if you want to be ashamed of Da Yuan, you shouldn't do such a thing of rooster and dog thief, disregard my trust in you, and maliciously betray your benefactor! What is your conscience in doing so?"

"I didn't really want to betray you, I just stunned you....... ”

When Mo Na heard this unreasonable remark, she immediately interrupted: "That's it, what do you mean by 'never thought of betraying me sincerely?' You mean, I should be grateful to you if I didn't poison me to death?" Although Mo Na's tone was calm, there was no lack of contempt and murderous intent.

The Iron Lady knew that she couldn't clear her previous mistakes, so she couldn't argue, so she had to change her words: "Lord, now that the stone gate has been opened, you have nothing to lose! The following is Li Changlie's tomb, there are still many unknowns hidden under the abyss, in order to make up for my mistakes, I am willing to assist you in visiting the tomb." ”

"Whoever needs your 'help', you don't harm me, I have already burned high incense. Do you still expect me to trust you again?—— hand over the Nuwa horn!"

The Iron Lady saw that this young demon lord was not as easy to coax as she imagined, and from Mo Na's words, she could feel a kind of time-honored maturity and stability. Since she refuses to eat her own set and insists on refusing to forgive herself, she can only make a desperate bet, and make a mistake to the end......!

To the surprise of the Iron Lady, Mo Na had already prepared a doppelganger behind her, and what she pushed down was just Mo Na's shadow. Due to the inertia of the air, it was too late to retract the strength, and finally fell off the cliff and reaped the consequences!

Mo Na withdrew the phantom clone technique, stood on the edge of the cliff, watched the Iron Lady's fading figure, listened to her scolding, and sighed at the bottom of the cliff: "Hey......!

As soon as the words fell, a strong force of collision suddenly knocked him off the cliff ...... instantly.

......

On the fifteenth day of the new year, the moonlight lamp mountain is full of imperial capital, and the incense car treasure covers the pass. In the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the flower market lights are like day, and the shadow is shining brightly. Lantern riddles and paintings hang on the long street, and the winding water flows and sings all over the city. All the people came out to guess the lantern riddles and celebrate the Lantern Festival. But above the court, Long San and Zhongqing couldn't be happy.

"Nanyu?—— there are no outsiders now. You truthfully told the widow, why did the Admiral Guang and Sui resist the decree and disrespect?"

Nan Yu said: "Back to the emperor's words, Weichen first went to the provincial capital of Guangning to announce the decree, and after the governor of Guangning received the decree, he said that the flood fighting forces assigned by the imperial court were in the hands of the governor of Suining. At first, the minister also thought that the governor of Guangning would not be bold enough to resist the decree, so he listened to his words and ran to the Suining Provincial Government with the holy decree to announce the decree. However, after the Admiral of Suining received the order, he said that the 100,000 soldiers allocated by the imperial court had already been borrowed by the Admiral of Guangning. The lower officials don't know who is telling the truth and who is false. In short, they just passed the buck to each other and refused to surrender their military power. ”

Long San was furious: "Now that the border is in an emergency, they disobey the holy decree like this, so they are not afraid that I will cut off their heads? Besides, Nan Aiqing has also been an official in the court for a long time." You have led troops to fight, galloped to the aid of the Western Regions, and exterminated the rebellious party of Longhumen. Why is it such a failure this time, and it can't even do this little thing?—— it's an army of more than 100,000 people, and it's not a few steamed buns, they say they can hide it?"

Nan Yingying stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger! The dog nephew is not doing well and deserves to be punished." However, since it has been seen that the Guangsui Metropolitan Government has two hearts, it is better to punish it as soon as possible and dismiss him pending trial. As a top priority, we need to recruit volunteers as soon as possible to solve the problem of insufficient soldiers. ”

Chao Hu said: "It's better to hand over the recruitment of troops to the West Factory for supervision." Once recruited, Wechen can train immediately, which can save a lot of time in training recruits. When Mobei attacks in the north, it is also good to ensure the combat strength of our army and avoid being overwhelmed. ”

"-Quasi-play!"

Dao Meimei objected on the side: "The mourning family does not agree! Now that the government and the opposition are in deficit, there are no good generals in the army. The Nanqing family is in charge of the East Factory and is responsible for defending the Ouchi, so they have no time to recruit in person. Although Nanyu is a candidate for the north, the battlefield experience is still insufficient. It is really difficult to sleep alone with the troops to mourn the family. Although Chao Qing's family is the prince of the West Factory, he is also the only candidate who can be a marshal in the DPRK. Only when the Chao Qing family goes out in person can they improve their chances of winning and gain valuable time for recruitment. ”

Zhu Zifeng said: "What the queen mother said is extremely true! It is better to leave the matter of recruiting troops to me! Weichen is willing to recruit soldiers for Lord Chao and train the new army. If necessary, Weichen can also lead troops to help Lord Chao. ”

Long San looked at Dao Meimei: "What is the queen's opinion?"

Dao Meimei whispered next to Ryuzo. Long San nodded and said to Zhong Qing: "For the time being, we will do what Zhu Qing's family says! Zhu Qing's family will be responsible for recruiting soldiers." When the troops will be dispatched, the court will announce it tomorrow morning. Let's disperse!"

The ministers were sent away, and Ryuzo and Dao Meimei moved to the queen's palace. At the family banquet, Dao Meimei truthfully informed Baili Xingyun about the affairs of the DPRK and China.

Xingyun said: "Sure enough, the time is not with me! The governors of Guangning and Suining provinces were originally protégés of Cai Quan in Lin'an. When Cai Hunan was alive, they were all henchmen of King Wei. Now that Daming is in trouble, they fall into the well like this, just to see the emperor's jokes. Once the imperial court is too busy to take care of itself, they will inevitably take advantage of the situation to rebel. Therefore, Nan Yu can't be blamed for this matter, how can the child see the tricks of those two old foxes?"

"What should I do then? Now Zhu Zifeng is in charge of recruiting soldiers, which is just my expedient measure. Although there is no shortage of people in the Ming Dynasty, at a critical juncture, it is now requisitioned and used, which has violated the taboo of soldiers. Those two traitors and thieves don't return the 100,000 army, once Mobei attacks, how will we deal with it?"

Xian'er said: "Third brother-in-law, I really can't do it, I can only let the third sister go out!"

Lu Feiyan said on the side: "How can that be! The third sister is now the mother of the Ming Dynasty! How can there be a queen mother who personally goes into battle? Even if the third sister is willing to do it, wouldn't the people be even more panicked when they know about it?"

Xingyun said: "Now it is not a question of who puts on the armor and goes into battle! But how to solve the problem of insufficient troops! In the situation of insufficient troops, it is difficult for a clever woman to become a good woman in the command of the army! I have a plan, but I have some adventures!"

"—What's the plan?" asked Ryuzan and Dao Mimi in unison.

"Decree that the six major Zen temples will defend against the enemy!"

"The Six Great Zen Temples?" Long Sanshi couldn't understand Xingyun's intentions.

Xingyun explained: "Yes! On the day that Xiahou Yan invaded Shengjie Mountain, it was the presiding officer of Dalan and Gu Xian Second Temples who led a group of immortal scattered people to disturb Shengjie Mountain. Although they are the Buddhas of the fairy world, they are also the people of the Ming Dynasty. The six great Zen temples are deeply favored by the emperor, and when the Ming Dynasty is in danger, they should bear the brunt of it and do their part for the Ming immortals. And the emperor and his recruitment in the mortal world, did not follow the order to let the six major Zen temples go out. ”

Ryuzo obviously knew that Xingyun also wanted to use his imperial power to eradicate the two temples of Dalan and Gusin. However, these two treasure temples do eat the imperial food and do not do anything. Instead of letting them go into battle to kill the enemy, it is better to let them go into battle to kill the enemy, and treat it as waste, wouldn't it be worth the money?

Lu Feiyan also agreed: "Yes! The eldest sister is right! They have the ability to collude with the bandits in the fairy world to oppose our Sanshan Sect! They should also have the ability to defend the Ming Immortals from being harassed by foreign races." I think it's a great plan! It's just ...... , in case they also resist the decree and disrespect the emperor like the Admiral Guangsui. When the time comes, how should we deal with it?" Lu Feiyan agreed, but also expressed a trace of worry.

Xian'er said: "It's a big deal, Zimo and I will go out for the third sister, so that it will not cause panic among the people, and it will not make the third sister fall into the laughing stock." Even if the six great Zen temples are disrespectful, we will not be helpless——Third brother-in-law, don't worry, everything has us!"

Long San was just about to express his gratitude to Xian'er for her loyalty, but Xingyun hurriedly said, "Xian'er, neither you nor Zi Mo can go on the expedition! Because our enemy is not Mobei, but the condensation incense in the west. What we need to settle is not the dispute between the common people, but the scum of the fairy world like the Xiahou Demon Lord. Once the condensation incense is ready to raise troops, the Zunwu Sect will make a move. At that time, how can the strength of the imperial court alone deal with such a powerful force as the Zunwu Sect?"

"Then we might as well take advantage of the fact that Condensing Incense has not sent troops and take the lead in eradicating the Zunwu Sect!" Xian'er said.

Xingyun hurriedly dispelled Xian'er's thoughts and analyzed: "Don't do it! The Zunwu Sect has no rebellion now, so we have no name. Once we take the initiative to provoke it, it will inevitably be that the fox is not caught, and it will be ashamed. Condensation incense will definitely scold the court for being unkind, and accuse us of cruelty to the Zunwu Sect for no reason, and even use this as an excuse to occupy the moral high ground and openly raise troops and rebellion. When the time comes, we will be left with all the blame for our crimes. ”
