Long Chuanyun led 500 vanguard troops day and night, and rushed to the Swallowing Wind Gorge in time, just in time for the critical moment when Ha Chilie was about to be unable to support it.

The day after the dragon king and the lotus girl left, the fat patriarch and ten children and grandchildren died of poison.

What the Lotus Girl gave them was the most ordinary pill, which could only last one more day, and the antidote that was scattered was difficult to prepare, and the Lotus Girl didn't have much on hand, and she had to leave some means to prevent the enemy from using it again, so she didn't want to waste it on irrelevant people.

The important men of the fat patriarch's family were all recruited, and there was no leader among the surviving descendants, so it immediately caused a battle between the open and the dark.

The Dragon King left too early, Ha Chilie's authority had not yet been established, and he could not win much support in the name of the fat patriarch's grandson-in-law, and even became the target of the struggle for power, and was subjected to many unfair accusations, and some people publicly claimed that he had nothing to do with the death of the fat patriarch.

During those two days, Ha Chilie was in danger, and the trouble was no less than that of the Dragon King, and several grandsons of the fat patriarch gathered a group of supporters and watched from morning to night, and the news that these teenagers were preparing to kill Ha Chilie and then close the north and south entrances was rampant.

Hachilie barely closed his eyes, holding his long knife at all times, guarding against the enemy's sneak attack.

At the critical moment, Miss Mingzhen played a huge role, she was only fifteen years old, she was too shy to speak in front of outsiders, but she already knew what it meant to be a one-man one, and what it meant to be deceitful, and it was with her help that Ha Chilie met with many powerful people in the Wind Swallowing Gorge, made all kinds of promises to them, and won their support.

Whether to defect to the Dragon King or fall to Jinpeng Castle, the residents of the Wind Swallowing Canyon are divided into two distinct factions.

The bodies of the dead are unrestrained, the survival of the weak is uncared for, and everyone is waiting in horror for a final showdown.

If Long Chuanyun hadn't led the army to arrive in time, the bloody battle would have started in the village, and no one could predict who would win or lose.

Five hundred strong and strong swordsmen from the Great Snow Mountain solved all the problems, and most of the people in the village accepted the fact that the Swallowing Wind Gorge was already owned by the Dragon King, and a few people who were not convinced and feared reprisals fled overnight, not knowing where to go.

Long Chuanyun was in a hurry to catch up with the Dragon King's footsteps, so he left a hundred warriors under the command of Ha Chilie, and he led the remaining four hundred people, non-stop, only one day later than the Dragon King to reach the capital of Anguo.

The city gate was closed, and Long Chuanyun had no way of knowing the affairs in the city, so he could only find a suitable place to garrison first, and send people to shout to the guards on the city tower, but he could not get half an answer.

At this time, Gu Shenwei was trying his best to pick the thorny fruit he planted: to explain the truth to the people of the city, General Gu is the Dragon King.

He had planned to force the whole city to admit the truth with a tough attitude, and then use grace and power in exchange for the apparent obedience of the people, but someone helped him better resolve this embarrassing problem.

The Queen Mother sent someone to summon "General Gu".

The troops inside and outside the city were waiting for him to make a decision, and Gu Shenwei hesitated for a while before deciding to meet the former princess from the Central Plains first.

The old queen mother met Gu Shenwei in the palace hall, the throne was empty, the minister was nowhere to be found, and there were only a few eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who were as old as the queen mother.

After sobering up, the queen mother regained her graceful and luxurious bearing, she looked down on the self-styled Dubu King, and naturally did not regard the Dragon King as a real royal family, so she used old age and frailty as an excuse to greet the Dragon King like an elder meeting a junior, avoiding sensitive status disputes.

Gu Shenwei saw it in his eyes and didn't care, for him, it was not time to compete for fame.

The Queen Mother actually has a little understanding of the situation in the Western Regions, especially the forces related to the Central Plains, she knows a little bit about it, such as the alliance between the Dragon King and the Central Plains, she has heard about it, as for the later break, neither side has made it public, so she naturally has no way of knowing.

But she was also very naïve, and went around in circles for a long time, first thanking the Dragon King for his rescue last night, and then talking about how inconsiderate Beiting and Jinpeng Castle were, and then talking about the Five Kingdoms of the Free Sea, especially Anguo's eyes, or the Dragon King's foresight, and so on.

Gu Shen listened to the old lady's nagging patiently, and finally understood her intentions.

It turned out that the old queen mother was very dissatisfied with her son, the current king of Anguo, and hoped to force him to abdicate and let her grandson succeed to the throne in advance, and she was in charge of the country as the queen mother.

This is another story of infighting for the power family, Gu Shen is commonplace, so he was not surprised and surprised, so he solemnly agreed, but also added many qualifications, such as An Guo must firmly stand on the side of the Dragon King, and finally obtain the public support of the Central Plains.

The most important thing is that the queen mother has to take the lead in explaining to her subjects that "General Gu" is the dragon king, and the dragon king has no intention of slaughtering the city, nor will he indulge the army to loot property.

The Queen Mother did not hear the other party's perfunctory intentions, and happily accepted the conditions, allowing the Dragon King to give orders in the palace hall in her name.

Gu Shenwei summoned one by one, first of all, Wu Zongheng, the leader of the guards, and others, who were the only professional soldiers among the thousands of rabble.

The queen mother solemnly told the guards that Daxue Mountain is the alliance of the Central Plains, and the dragon king is a friend of Anguo, and the general Gu in front of everyone is the dragon king who was invited by her to sneak into the capital.

The guards were dumbfounded, Wu Zongheng guessed that General Gu's origin was not simple, and even faintly found out that he was the Dragon King, but when he really heard the facts, he was still surprised.

"This ...... How is it possible? General Gu still wants to lead everyone to resist the Dragon King. Wu Zongheng was shocked, violated the etiquette of the royal family, and even questioned the words of the queen mother.

The Queen Mother's face was not good, and Gu Shenwei felt that it was time for her to speak, "You don't need to resist the Dragon King, the army of the Great Snow Mountain is just passing through here, as long as there are enough ships, they will leave soon." In the name of the god of the sky in the Great Snow Mountain, I guarantee that we will not do anything to burn, kill and loot, and the people of the whole city will be safe. ”

"But you formed us into an army...... Wu Zongheng thought more than the Queen Mother, and the young and middle-aged people of Anguo were forcibly pulled into the army, which was not a simple excuse, but a real surrender.

"The army will be disbanded today, and the purpose of my formation is to unite the hearts of the people, not to expand my own strength. ”

Gu Shenwei's promise was true, this improvised patchwork army was extremely unstable and ineffective, and staying in the army would only be a hidden danger, he would rather collect all the weapons than use them to arm a group of half-hearted people.

Wu Zongheng was relieved, and he knew very well that he had no second choice.

The guards knelt down to the Queen Mother and bowed to the Dragon King in obedience.

Gu Shenwei didn't let them go immediately, and asked them to serve as guards in the main hall and stay on the left and right.

The guards, including Wu Zongheng, naturally carried out the order, not expecting at all that the Dragon King was no longer their general in theory.

Then the queen mother summoned the old men of the city, the rich households, the representatives of various trades, the representatives of the fugitives from all over the country, and so on, and they were all left in the palace until after noon, when the summons were over, and the hall became crowded.

There were more than a dozen groups of people, all of whom were surprised when they heard the truth, but when they saw that the people in front of them had compromised, they could only obey the opinions of the majority.

At this time, the news had gradually spread throughout the city, and the panic was showing signs of getting out of control, so Gu Shenwei discussed with the queen mother and immediately let go of these dozen groups of people, and they conveyed the sincerity of the dragon king to the residents of the city.

In the afternoon of that day, the gates of the capital city of Anguo were opened, and four hundred warriors of the Great Snow Mountain were stationed, and they found that the streets were deserted and empty, and the people were all hiding in their homes, nervously waiting to see if the Dragon King's sincerity could be trusted.

Finally having a trustworthy force, Gu Shenwei immediately asked the warriors of the Great Snow Mountain to guard important areas such as the city gate, docks, and palaces.

As for the provisional army, which had been in existence for less than a day, and the young men who were imprisoned in the market, they were all allowed to return to their respective homes, but they were to leave their weapons behind.

At this time, few people were willing to follow the dragon king from birth to death, and the vast majority of people chose to go home, and only a few people stayed for various reasons.

Wu Zongheng only recognized the queen mother, so he led dozens of guards and volunteered to stay in the palace as palace guards, and they were the only group of people who were allowed to keep weapons.

The capital of Anguo barely remained stable, but the vast Xiaoyao Sea still crossed the dragon king and the army of the Great Snow Mountain: without boats, they were beasts trapped in cages, and even if they had claws, they had nowhere to use them.

He was not familiar with the place, so Gu Shenwei still had to enter the palace to ask the Queen Mother and Wu Zongheng for help.

The Queen Mother had no enthusiasm to help, but she lived in the palace and knew very little about the situation in her country, so she could not give valuable advice.

However, Wu Zongheng helped a lot, and the leader of the guards hoped to send the Daxue Mountain army away as soon as possible, so he had been thinking about how to get a boat, "There may be boats in the nearby fishing villages, but they are too small to withstand the wind and waves, so they can only move along the coast. ”

"This family" is the business name of the Meng family in Biyucheng.

Meng's industries are all over the Western Regions, even in remote Anguo.

As soon as he heard that the dragon king's army was coming, the men in the merchant and the killers and swordsmen of Jinpeng Castle who were hiding in it immediately fled to the north shore of the Xiaoyao Sea by boat, and took most of the gold and silver with them, moving faster than the king.

There was only one old shopkeeper left in the shop, dutifully guarding the goods that could not be taken from the store.

Seeing the Dragon King leading his troops to break in, the old shopkeeper was still calm, pointing to the piles of bags behind him, "It's all here, I hope you can give me a witness, the Dragon King is robbing, and the old man is powerless to stop ......"

But he was wrong, the dragon king was not here to grab things, but to do business.

A large bag of gold and silver was thrown in front of the old shopkeeper, "This money hires you a big boat." ”

"I ...... There are no boats, neither big ships nor small boats. The old shopkeeper was a little surprised, but he didn't panic.

Wu Zongheng also followed, stepped forward and said, "The Queen Mother Yizhi, what the Dragon King needs, the people of the whole city need to fully cooperate." ”

"There is no basis for words. "The old shopkeeper is extremely stubborn.

Wu Zongheng took out the will written by the Queen Mother herself, although there was no king's imperial seal on it, but it was stamped with the Queen Mother's personal seal.

The old shopkeeper looked at it carefully for a while, and confirmed that it was correct, "The merchant has a boat, not too big, parked in a bay outside the city, and can be hired for you, but you must leave a note that this is the decree of the Queen Mother, and I will explain it to the master in the future." ”

Gu Shenwei agreed, but he thought that if everything went well, it would be up to him to "explain" to Meng Yuzun in the future.

After more than eight months, the Dragon King was finally going to return to the Stone Kingdom, half a year later than the time he promised Zhong Heng.
