Chapter 1190: Preparing for War
"The imperial court sent a large army to encircle and suppress it, it is a matter of life and death for the people of the city, and since we have formed an alliance with the Golden Crow Sect, we should help each other. ”
With such a momentum in the Golden Crow Sect, the imperial court army is coming, and a big war is inevitable. As the saying goes, the world rises and falls, and the people suffer. The fact that the Golden Crow Sect was able to develop hundreds of thousands of followers in just a few years, ascending to the heights, and responding from all directions was also the reason why the Rakshasa court was corrupt and incompetent and lost popularity.
Ming Qin has not been in Rakshasa for a long time, so he can be said to be an outsider. In fact, his personal power is limited, and no matter which side he is on, it is difficult to change the current situation.
Maybe he could fly away from the strife of the world, which is a natural thing. But how capable a person is, how much responsibility he has.
'The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband'. No one can live forever, even immortals have times when they can't escape, so escape is not a way. Whether it is doing nothing or being reborn in heaven, it is nothing more than self-deception.
Therefore, 'too forgetful', it is only your own feelings that you can escape from doing nothing. Mencius said, 'Everyone has compassion'. Once people are emotional, they will have joys and sorrows, loves, hatreds, and desires.
Reason is good, but reason is also numb. Reason gives people the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil. But sticking to right and wrong, good and evil, can only be done by feelings.
Of course, there are many foolish people in the world, and they don't even have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, which is a lack of reason. But more people only know the interests and disadvantages, know right and wrong, but they always deal with the world with a selfish and numb heart. How can the world be good?
Ming Qin has been to many places over the years, whether it is the Immortal Realm or the Dragon Domain, the level of Taoism is not comparable to the mortal world in which he lives.
However, the strife in the world has never stopped, and although there are many sages and sages, who have been destined for the world, and have told the world to be benevolent, loving, and fraternal, they have only made human beings not be swallowed up by bad karma and destroy themselves.
Perhaps this is the case in the universe, so the gods and Buddhas have long been indifferent to the disputes in the world. The cycle of heaven is endless. It seems to be a matter of course that evil prevails over good.
However, this is not the case, you don't see that the world is always chaotic and cures less, if there is no unremitting efforts of people with lofty ideals, the world may have become a desert.
There are always some people in the world who do not seek glory and wealth, do not seek immortality, and the world is very busy, but they live very happily.
They forget their own gains and losses, but they care about the sorrows and joys of the people. They read the books of the sages, traveled thousands of miles, knew everything, could do everything, and studied the changes of the past and the present. They are ambitious, they don't seek to be known, and they can always make people fascinated after a thousand years of life.
The original intention of the Mirage Dragon King and the Golden Crow Sect was simply to use the Golden Crow Sect's roots to expand the power of the Mirage Society. Tong Wanchun's vision is not as far-reaching as that of the Mirage Dragon King, but he is very close to the Golden Crow Sect, so he naturally wants to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix.
The Mirage Club is a bargaining chip in Tong Wanchun's hands, and naturally no one else can get involved. But Mingqin's identity is special, and he can't give him no face when he comes to ask for Tong Wanchun.
"If Jiaoru is not in the building, I'll go see her. ”
Ming Qin knew that he wanted to pick someone in the Mirage Club without Tong Wanchun, but it was impossible. Besides, he is not familiar with the Mirage Society, and although the top ten generals are famous, although they all have extraordinary strengths, they are not easy to control.
Tong Jiaoru had already gotten the news and knew that Ming Qin had returned to the Hailou. But she didn't go out to greet her, she had been back to the sea building for a while, and Ming Qin didn't come to see her, which inevitably made people angry.
Ming Qin had been to Jiehai Tower, and he was familiar with the way, so he went directly to Tong Jiaoru's room.
After knocking on the door, a young girl pushed the door open. Looking at each other, Ming Qin was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "Miss Zhou?"
This girl is Zhou Ruxue, Ming Qin took her out of the dungeon and handed her over to Tong Jiaoru to take care of. Unexpectedly, the Three Religions Alliance broke the Jiehai Building, and she didn't leave with it.
In fact, the alliance of the three religions broke through the Jiehai Tower, rescued the hostages in the dungeon, and won a complete victory. After the conquest of Seven Star Reef, these hostages stayed in the Jiehai Building to recuperate. The Three Religions Alliance was attacked by the Golden Crow Sect and suffered heavy losses. Soon the Golden Crow Sect occupied Haishi City, and the Mirage Society made a comeback, but these hostages did not have time to escape, and they became prisoners of the Mirage Society.
Zhou Ruxue is the person next to Tong Jiaoru, and after the Mirage Club regained control of the Hailou, she did not embarrass her. still let her serve by Tong Jiaoru's side.
Zhou Ruxue was very afraid of Ming Qin, pointed inside, and whispered, "Miss is inside." ”
After saying that, he hid as if fleeing for his life.
Ming Qin smiled dumbly, lifted the beaded curtain, and entered the inner room. I saw Tong Jiaoru sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze. She was wearing a snow-white skirt and light makeup on her face, which made her look even more beautiful.
Tong Jiaoru is plain and cold, and her clothes are mainly black, giving people an impression of being secluded and difficult to approach.
It was the first time for Ming Qin to see her wearing white, although the tone was relatively plain, but it looked spotless, and she had a bit more otherworldly temperament.
Ming Qin slowly walked behind Tong Jiaoru, looked at the delicate face in the mirror, and faintly felt a sense of guilt.
Tong Jiaoru didn't look back and didn't speak. The two looked at each other in the mirror, and Tong Jiaoru said softly, "If you don't want to come back, don't come back, I can still live without you." ”
Ming Qin smiled, reached out to wrap his hand around her waist, and leaned into his ear and said, "But I can't live without you." ”
Tong Jiaoru curled the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, her head drooped slightly, and she snorted: "The ghost believes you." ”
"Why are you dressed so beautifully today, I must know that I am coming back. ”
Mingqin leaned over to the neckline and sniffed the aroma on her body, and asked vaguely.
Tong Jiaoru giggled, turned around, and said calmly, "Do you really think I'm beautiful?"
"Of course. Ming Qin said seriously: "Jiaoru is not only beautiful, but also has a good personality." ”
Tong Jiaoruqiao's face was slightly red, she knew that her appearance was not bad, and when it came to her character, she was notoriously lonely and cold, otherwise she would not have shared a bed with a sea storm for so many years.
"Don't let you pick a good thing to coax me. I want to hear the truth. ”
Ming Qinxin said that it was strange. Who in the world doesn't like to listen to good and obedient words, and how many people humbly accept advice? Even if they know that this is not true, they will unconsciously believe it after hearing it a lot.
Ming Qin picked up Tong Jiaoru and put it on the dressing table, and before she invaded her, she smiled and didn't argue.
Tong Jiaoru looked at the door with a weak heart, and said unnaturally: "In broad daylight, you stay away from me." ”
Ming Qinhu smiled and said, "Isn't it okay to ...... that night?"
"What can you do? No. ”
Tong Jiaoru looked slightly ashamed, knowing that he was holding the handle, and hurriedly said, "Why did you come back suddenly?
Ming Qin secretly said ashamed, if it weren't for Luo Yongyan to let him come to the Mirage Club to ask for someone, he would indeed not take the initiative to come to the Hailou.
"Luo Ling's envoy asked me to join the Golden Crow Sect, and I have agreed. I want to come to the main hall to find some help. ”
Tong Jiaoru nodded slightly, and she was not too surprised by Ming Qin's decision.
"It's an eventful time, and the Golden Crow Sect is growing stronger, so it's a good time to make a difference. They don't trust the Mirage Society after all, so it's better for you to join the Golden Crow Sect. I have made a career, and my face also shines. ”
Tong Jiaoru knows Ming Qin's true identity, although he is not very clear about his origin, there is a saying that 'heroes don't ask where they come from', and they can be appreciated by Luo Yongyan, as long as the Jinwu Sect wins the country, the future will definitely be limitless.
The reputation of the sea storm is not good, and the relationship between the two is not very harmonious, but now that the past is over, Tong Jiaoru is all on Mingqin. Naturally, it is necessary to think about him.
"How many people do you need, I can help you solve this. ”
If Tong Jiao is Tong Wanchun's daughter, she can naturally influence Tong Wanchun's decision. In fact, as long as she and Ming Qin have a good relationship, Tong Wanchun is also happy to see this matter come to fruition, and there will not be much resistance.
The Mirage Society was hit by the Three Religions Alliance, and there were many casualties, but three or five hundred people could still be picked.
"Of course, the more the merrier. ”
This was the first thing Luo Yongyan handed over to Ming Qin, and it was also his vote. Naturally, if only some old and weak soldiers were brought away, Luo Yongyan would definitely be a little disappointed if he didn't say anything.
"I understand. ”
Tong Jiaoru nodded slightly, and said with a sweet smile: "I'll go and discuss with my father." ”
Under Tong Jiaoru's mediation, Tong Wanchun agreed that Ming Qin would take some of the disciples to join the Jinwu Sect. Although this group of people is not all strong in martial arts, they are also strong, and Tong Jiaoru has transferred another batch of weapons, at least on the surface, it looks decent.
After two or three days, everything was ready. Ming Qin took this group of men to the Governor's Mansion to meet Luo Yongyan.
Suddenly, a group of well-armed men and horses went straight to the governor's palace, for fear that it would cause a misunderstanding.
The imperial army was approaching, and the air in the city was becoming increasingly tense, and Wei Zhenyi continued to ask for help from friendly troops, hoping that the brothers in the sect could rush to help in the war. However, when the leaders of various places saw the forces of the forbidden army, they waited and watched one by one and refused to send troops to come. Although Wei Zhenyi was angry, he was helpless. After all, he is not a new Wenli, and some of the old brothers in the sect do not buy him as a substitute leader.
Ming Qin asked the soldiers and horses to wait outside the gate of the mansion, and after the report, not long after, a young woman came out, glanced at Ming Qin, and said with a smile: "This is Senior Brother Naval Storm, you can call me Xiaoya, and I will take you to see Luo Ling." ”
"Thank you. ”
Ming Qin saw that this Xiaoya girl was dressed in a military uniform, she didn't look very old, and her appearance was quite sweet, and the pear vortex loomed when she laughed.
The Governor's Mansion has become the marshal of the Golden Crow Sect, and Wei Zhenyi leads himself as the generalissimo of the governor's soldiers and horses, and the leaders of all walks of life are nominally controlled by him. In fact, it was difficult for him to give orders out of Haishi City.
The forbidden army of the imperial court was less than fifty miles away from Haishi City, and the war was approaching, Wei Zhenyi convened Fang Bo and Qu Shuai to discuss the matter, and naturally had no time to meet Ming Qin.
Xiaoya took Ming Qin to the military aircraft room, but Luo Yongyan was waiting outside the door. Seeing Ming Qin smile, "You came just in time." The forbidden army will come to the city before dark, and the leaders are deliberating, so come in with me and listen. ”
Ming Qin heard the noise in the house from a distance, and it seemed that everyone's argument was very fierce. Luo Yongyan was also quite unhappy, and it could be seen that she was also smiling.
"I have selected five hundred Rui soldiers in the Mirage Society, and I will wait outside the mansion for Luo Ling's envoy to read. ”
"This one isn't busy. Come in first. ”
Luo Yongyan led Ming Qin into the military aircraft room, and saw Wei Zhenyi sitting in the main seat, several square tables were put together, and there were people on both sides.
A fair-skinned scribe said impassionedly: "Haishi City was built by us with great difficulty, and we must not give it up." The walls of Haishi City are strong, there are four or five hundred thousand people in the city, let's post the list of recruiting soldiers, at least another 50,000 people can be recruited, the forbidden army comes from afar, and the soldiers will be tired, as long as we have firm confidence, Haishi City will be able to hold it. ”
A leader with a face like Shen Iron said impatiently: "Huang Protector, you say it easily. Most of our soldiers are newly recruited, they have never been on the battlefield, and they lack weapons, even if they go to pull the strong men again, how can you let them fight with their bare hands. This is not the era of broadswords and spears, and there is no difference between not having weapons and sending them to death. ”
Ming Qin was slightly stunned, it turned out that this fair-looking scribe was Huang Ba, one of the three protectors, and his status was second only to Wei Zhenyi. His wife is Ma Chun, who broke into Wu Sichen's place and made a fuss, and that is a fierce master.
Huang Ba was dissatisfied: "Peng Qushuai, don't raise the morale of others and destroy your own prestige." We only need to win a few battles, so why worry about not having weapons. I think it is imperative to take a few more rich people and use their wealth as military supplies, so that the people can support us. ”
Wei Zhenyi coughed lightly, and pondered: "The matter of recruiting troops naturally needs to be managed by Huang Protector, and the matter of fighting, Peng Qushuai, you are the one who will not let you go." Haishi City must be defended, and I have already taught several elders to send troops to help within three or five days. Therefore, we must not mess up our positions, and we will discuss here today and adjourn the meeting. ”
Wei Zhenyi knew that there would be no result in the fight any longer, now it is the main battle of the civilian officials, the main withdrawal of the military generals, Wei Zhenyi is also anxious, and only to stabilize the morale of the army is the best policy.
All the leaders left the table and retreated, Luo Yongyan stepped forward and poured a cup of tea, put it in front of Wei Zhenyi, and said softly: "You are also tired." Why don't you go back and rest? ”
Wei Zhenyi raised his head, found Ming Qin standing opposite, got up and said, "Brother Hai, you can join this sect at a critical time, Wei is really welcome." ”
"The sect leader is polite. ”
Ming Qin arched his hand and said: "In the strength of the next little end, in the siege of the city, I should do my best to live up to the grace of the sect leader and his wife." ”
Wei Zhenyi and Ming Qin have met, but they don't know each other deeply, Luo Yongyan recommends him very much, and Wei Zhenyi trusts Luo Yongyan's vision. However, the Jinwu Sect is full of talents, and he doesn't think there is anything special about Ming Qin.
"Madame is forming a prison team, so you should follow Madame first. Wait for meritorious service, and then be promoted. The rules of this sect are like this, Brother Hai should not be surprised. ”
Wei Zhenyi is elegant and wise, and he is also amiable to others. He has a good reputation in the church, and it is not a blessing that he can sit in the position of the acting head of the church.
"Don't dare. ”
Since he has joined the Jinwu Sect, Wei Zhenyi is the acting sect leader, and Luo Yongyan is his top boss, so in front of them, Ming Qin naturally has to behave in a proper manner and hide his edge.
"Huang Protector and Peng Qushuai are not in harmony, and before the war starts, they will fight for red-facedness, I am afraid that if this continues, it is not the blessing of this religion. ”
Luo Yongyan, as the envoy of the Golden Arrow, is naturally familiar with the personnel in the sect.
