Volume 1: The Turmoil of the Ukrainian League Chapter 13: The Dark Tide is Surging and Chaos is Rampant
Qingcheng is located in the throat of Zhao State, connecting the north and south, across the east and west, is the political, economic and cultural center of the Great Zhao State, and is also the oldest and most profound city in the world among the four major capitals today.
Here, you can see the treasures of Tiannan and Haibei, thousands of countries and thousands of countries, and you can also see all kinds of strange people, as the most powerful country, Dazhao is something to be proud of.
The inner city of Qingcheng is the imperial palace, and the planning of the outer city is also very clear, which is divided into near the city and the far city.
The city is full of princes and princesses, the residences of dignitaries and nobles, especially the Qingyun Lane is the most significant, in addition to the eight palaces and three princesses' mansions, there are also the mansions of the prime ministers of the dynasty, and the corresponding is the Gonggong Lane, needless to say, this alley is full of meritorious military officials, and the first one is the mansion of the general Zhang Jun.
In front of the majestic archway, the gate of the general's palace stands toweringly, two male lions with teeth and claws roar in the sky, on the vermilion painted gold riveting gate, the door knocker of the beast head is magnificent, and the heavy gate represents the unshakable status of the general.
The majestic guard in front of the door stood upright, solemn, looking at the general in and out in a hurry, his eyes did not squint, and he seemed to be completely invisible.
After a while, some generals and colonels came from the alley one after another, and a few second-grade military attachés came, and they entered the general's mansion together, and they didn't know what major matters were being discussed.
An hour later, the people left one after another.
After a while, the general, dressed in a brocade robe and a dragon cloak, also went out of the gate, with only two guards by his side, just dressed as usual.
If there are senior old rivers and lakes, they will be surprised, the two low-key people are actually on the extraordinary list twenty years ago, one is the Death Sword Eagle and the other is the Soul Sword Yao Qing.
These two are also the first and second swordsmen of the General's Mansion mentioned outside. But who is the first, they themselves do not know.
Due to the sudden disappearance of the two of them from the rivers and lakes twenty years ago, the eighth and ninth positions on the Chaoxin Pavilion's transcendent list were empty for a long time.
didn't want the two of them to quietly enter the general's mansion and become staff swordsmen.
Although they no longer walk around the rivers and lakes, their martial arts have not been wasted at all, and so far both of them have the strength of the grandmaster, which is better than that of Liu Shantong, the leader of the Knife Grinding Sect.
The three of them went straight through the entrance of South Street, entered Qingyun Lane, and finally entered the Prime Minister's Mansion!
The camp of the three armies in the north of the city was very busy at this time, and countless generals were gathering soldiers and going in all directions, and for a time all the official roads were hurried cavalry.
When the general entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wu Qinghui was dressed in a Confucian shirt, his face in his fifties was ruddy, his face was slightly rounded, he was smiling, and his beard hung down naturally, which was a great Confucian atmosphere.
Naturally, he received his brother-in-law, and after saying a few words, he walked into the secret room hand in hand.
When he came out, it was already two hours later, and after Zhang Jun left, eight of the top ten martial artists of the Prime Minister's Mansion were dispatched, all in different directions.
The next morning, with the voice of the chief eunuch of the Great Inner Palace, "If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat from", the general Zhang Jun was the first to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, the minister has this music." ”
The little emperor said timidly: "Quasi-play." ”
Zhang Jun opened his mouth and came: "Your Majesty, receiving the battle report from the front, Dongzhao State dispatched the armies of various prefectures and counties, dispatched the thunder cavalry, and at the same time summoned the Jianghu master to help and raid the camp of our army, the hussar general did not arrive at the camp, and the army has been defeated, fortunately, the hussar general heard the news and rushed to stabilize the army's heart, collect the remnants, unite the generals of the two countries, and confront the enemy on the bank of the Yuan River, but the enemy army is strong, please send Snapdragon cavalry reinforcements!"
When the Manchu Dynasty heard this, it suddenly fell into a commotion, some were shocked by the defeat of the 100,000 army, and some were shocked that they were going to dispatch the Snapdragon Rider.
And some lamented that the Dongzhao Kingdom had made a bloody effort to protect the rebellious ministers and thieves of Dazhao.
In Dazhao, Song Wenxi was rendered as the culprit who incited the prince to fight hard, and the general and the prime minister saw through the conspiracy, tried their best to protect the royal bloodline, protected the new emperor to ascend the throne, spared no effort to eradicate the thieves, and made outstanding achievements.
And his own brother summoned the heavens to punish him. It is also convincing to say that all the princes are involved in the fight, with the exception of Song Wenxi, which is difficult not to believe the rumors made up by Zhang Jun.
And when he heard that he was going to invite the Snapdragon to ride, where did the little emperor dare to make an idea, but he asked timidly: "Everyone, what the general said, what do you think?"
The Snapdragon Rider is the most elite heavy-armored iron cavalry in the Great Zhao Kingdom, and it is the elite of the country second only to the Benlei Cavalry of the Dongzhao Kingdom in the world, and the Snapdragon Cavalry has a strength of 20,000, which is more shocking than the 6,000 Benlei Cavalry.
The ministers of civil and military affairs glanced at the general and the prime minister, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Just kidding, the current Da Zhao is these two people who turn the clouds and rain, covering the sky with one hand, how can they have anything to do.
At this time, Ma Yunlu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, received the instructions from the prime minister's eyes, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am a great Zhao Yangyang, a great country, and I am brilliant and mighty, and I can't tolerate Dongzhao's presumptuousness, please Your Majesty increase troops to exterminate the rebellious ministers and thieves, and set foot in the Ukrainian League!"
Before he spoke, Wang Xuan, the military attache team, jumped out of the military department and said: "Your Majesty, my Dazhao has a million armor, thousands of generals, and has been the suzerain for generations.
With the help of these two bigwigs, the rest of the people didn't dare to say more, and the voices of discussion stopped.
The little emperor looked at Wu Qinghui with pleading eyes, the powerful prime minister just nodded slightly, and the little emperor said with a straight face: "You Aiqing is reasonable, just according to the general's words, send 10,000 dragon horsemen to support the front line!"
A series of "Your Majesty's Wise" voices sounded below, and he retreated.
Zhang Jun was in high spirits and went to dispatch troops.
At this time, all the martial arts sects in the Great Zhao Kingdom were horrified to receive the news of the encirclement and suppression of the army.
For a while, the forces in the rivers and lakes fell into chaos, and even thousand-year-old orthodox sects such as the Lingwu Sword Sect and the Lu Yue Sword Sect were surrounded by a large army, but they didn't make a move.
The Lu Yue Sword Sect is okay, knowing what the Qingyu Fairy did some time ago, and the Lingwu Sword Sect is in charge of the Sanxuan Zhenren is very angry, and one of them went down the mountain to question the leading general, and after learning that it was the general's meaning, he sent his own junior brother Yu Qiao Zhenren to take the disciple to the General's Mansion for accountability.
As the orthodox emperor of the Great Zhao Dynasty, the Lingwu Sword Sect has a transcendent status, no matter how powerful the general is, they don't care at all.
Although the Lingwu Sword Sect ranked third in the Divine Continent, it was absolutely unique when it came to its influence in the court.
Thirty years ago, it was the top three on the peak list, there was a shocking feat of defeating the eight grandmasters, and there was a supreme miracle of breaking the peaks and peaks, and the supreme miracle of cutting the demon head with a flying sword, was respected as the Dao Immortal Sword God.
It's just that this old immortal has a very hot temper, and he doesn't look like a Taoist master at all, so the little apprentice he just accepted said that he would be punished and swept away after being robbed of the horse by Mingyue.
In addition to the three masters of the Lingwu Sword Sect, there are four pillar masters of the Lingwu Sword Sect in this generation, namely Yuqiao Zhenren, Luoyun Zhenren, Yuandai Zhenren, and Fengling Zhenren, these five great grandmasters are called the Lingwu Five Gods by the rivers and lakes, all of them are unfathomable and mysterious, and the most common one walking around in the rivers and lakes is Yuqiao Zhenren, and the other four people are guarding Lingwu Xianshan all day long, staying at home!
With a profound foundation and a transcendent status, the Lingwu Sword Sect has enough confidence and the general's mansion to call the board.
Although the influence of the Lu Yue Sword Sect in the imperial court is not as good as that of the Lingwu Sword Sect, but in the rivers and lakes, it still has the right to speak, although they are all cultivators, but in terms of the rivers and lakes, the Lu Yue Sword Sect is more pure, and the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes is stronger.
And the Lu Yue Sword Sect, where the four great grandmasters are in charge, is also pressed on the heads of various martial arts sects like a mountain, and the four fairies are all not easy to mess with, especially the Qingyu Fairy, Zeng Jian was defeated by Qiao Zhenren, and tied Sanxuan Zhenren, and then because he was trapped in love words, his realm was damaged, so he ranked seventh on the peak list.
Although there are only four grandmasters of the Zhen Sect, when it comes to disciples, the Lu Yue Sword Sect is the largest, and the new generation of disciples is endlessly talented, plus how many young ladies from non-martial arts families have been lay disciples of the Lu Yue Sword Sect, and the disciples of the Lu Yue Sword Sect who have married out of their own Lu Yue Sword Sect have transcendent status, which together is a huge Jianghu Alliance, therefore, they are also not afraid of the General's Mansion!
This is also why the other sects were jointly suppressed by the masters and the army at this time, and these two families just surrounded and did not dare to move, and after being questioned, they had to lie that there was a demon sect that was in turmoil, and they came to help suppress it.
Just kidding, such a crude excuse for the ghosts, and besides, the two great gods want their help.
Their real purpose is just to entangle them and prevent them from interfering in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, because at this time, other sects have been conquered, whether it is the righteous path or the evil path, there are large armies and grandmasters to greet them, and they are only required to cooperate with the imperial court.
Without the support of the big brother in the rivers and lakes, after resisting to no avail, all factions chose to compromise.
After all, they don't have the background of Lingwu and Lu Yue, where can they really fight against the imperial court!
When Yu Qiao Zhenren entered the General's Mansion, the general Zhang Jun apologized with a smile, and ordered that they were doing this too much, and the Lingwu Sword Sect did not need to help, but he also showed his determination to protect the imperial court, so that Yu Qiao Zhenren could not find anything wrong, and he personally sent Yu Qiao Zhenren out of Qingcheng.
On the side of the Lu Yue Sword Sect, under the coercion of the impatient Qingyu Fairy leading his disciples to fight, they chose to retreat, because they received news from the General's Mansion that the other sects had done it.
On the third day of October in the eighth year of the reign of Dongzhao Kingdom, Wumeng City seemed to have come out of the haze, and the sun even had some power, so that people wanted to take off their thick cotton clothes.
With the arrival of reinforcements from all directions, as well as people from the rivers and lakes, and children of families, the city of Wumeng became active again, and the breath brought by new things washed away the loneliness after the war, making this place where it snowed heavily in the Mid-Autumn Festival become hot.
The people in the Wumeng branch of Chaoxin Pavilion are very busy, because in the past few days, too many famous faces have appeared in the Wumeng, although they have not done anything for the time being, but they have become the target of key tracking.
And the most sensational thing was that Leng Yue of the Cangyun Sword Sect, Wudu and Wen Rong of the Jade Dragon Sword Sect, and the four grandmasters of the Blue Valley entered the General Mansion of the Umeng.
Secondly, the children of the five gangs and seven sects and the families of various sects, as well as the forces with a bad reputation who usually do not show up, also gathered here, and it seems that in a few days, Wumeng City has become the most desirable place in the world.
For the Jianghu sect, the four countries have no restrictions on them, this is not a matter of the imperial court, therefore, the Jianghu sect is free to travel between the four countries, and the forbidden land is only a rule between the sects.
And the most shocking thing is that the Knife Sharpening Sect, which was defeated by the Qingyu Fairy of the Lu Yue Sword Sect last time, also came to Wumeng City, which instantly became the focus of the catharsis of the various factions in Dongzhao, although Liu Shantong did not show up, but it still ignited everyone's anger.
And the leader of the Knife Grinding Sect is the deputy sect leader Han Futong, a super-first-class master, in the face of the provocation of various factions in the Dongzhao Kingdom, he is not cowardly at all, so, after a war of words, I don't know which one took the lead in throwing a wine bowl and smashing a disciple of the Knife Grinding Sect to the head and breaking the blood, the two sides fell into a melee for a while, and beat the Ziguang Building, the best restaurant in Wumeng City, to pieces.
And what is even more shocking is that the Knife Sharpening Sect actually has helpers, and there is no shortage of people from the Five Gangs and Seven Sects, as well as all kinds of small gangs, if there are careful people, they will definitely find that the sects that help the Knife Grinding Sect are all in the territory of the Great Zhao Kingdom.
And this attentive person was Tang Xue, the hall master of the Chaoxin Pavilion Wumeng, who was in the two-story building not far from the Ziguang Building at this time, watching this sudden chaotic battle, and fell into deep thought.
Hearing the news, the Cangyun Sword Sect Wudu and the Jade Dragon Sword Sect Lan Gu were shocked to perceive that there were Grandmasters hidden around, and there were many ......
