Mengtai, the king of Taiping, and Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, each mobilized 150,000 troops to form a coalition of 300,000 troops, and gathered in the easternmost part of the territory of Mengtai, the king of Taiping, preparing to attack the 200,000 troops led by Zhou Chi.

Such a big thing, Emperor Zhou Huan and army commander Zhou Chi already knew.

Emperor Zhou Huan said: "Uncle, the King of Taiping, the King of Xiang'e, the King of Liangjiang and Shi Dewa have formed a coalition army, and I have already informed Feng Rui, the king of Nanling, and asked him to take precautions. I also contacted the commander of the soldiers and horses in Jibei and the commander of the soldiers and horses in Jibei and the commander of the soldiers and horses in the east of Jin, so as to make King Zhou Lizhi. They are mobilizing their army and will soon be able to reach the area around the capital. With their help, they will be able to break the alliance of the Taiping King Meng Tai. ”

Zhou Chi said: "Your Majesty, are we waiting for the arrival of the army of King Zhou Lizhi and King Mao Wu Yun before marching to attack King Taiping?"

Emperor Zhou Huan said: "No, let's win one or two battles on a small scale, lest King Zhou Lizhi and King Mao Wu Yun think that we can only defeat the alliance of the Taiping King by relying on them, in which case they will demand more honorarium after the war." ”

Zhou Chi said: "Okay! I will prepare to raise troops immediately, but our Zhou family's army is less than 200,000, and the combined army of the Taiping King and the Xiang'e King has 300,000; ”

Emperor Zhou Huan smiled and said, "Uncle, do you mean that you want me to invite Uncle Zhou Ti?"

Zhou Chi said: "As soon as Zhou Ti defeats Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, our army can defeat the enemy. ”

Emperor Zhou Huan came to Zhou Ti's house and said to Zhou Ti: "Uncle! Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, Sun Han, the king of Liangjiang, and Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, learned that their father was gone, so they united with Shi Dewa to prepare to overthrow the dynasty. Now the king of Taiping and the king of Xiang'e are outside the territory of the capital, stationing more than 300,000 troops, preparing to attack the capital. ”

Xuanguan Daoist Zhou Ti stood up angrily and said: "Shi Dewa Feng Dewa of the Nine Desolation Mountains assassinated the emperor, we didn't go to crusade against them, and Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, actually took the opportunity to rebel against the dynasty. I'll first teach Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, a lesson, and maybe stop them from rebelling against the dynasty. ”

Emperor Zhou Huan said: "Uncle! King Taiping is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, and you must not provoke him alone. ”

Zhou Ti said: "Your Majesty, don't worry! No one knows me, so I sneaked into the side of Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, and waited for an opportunity. If it is discovered, I will kidnap Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, and I will definitely be able to come back safely!"

Emperor Zhou Huan repeatedly blocked Zhou Ti, but Zhou Ti still stubbornly went to find Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, alone.

The Taiping King Meng Tai learned that Zhou Chi's army had been assembled thirty miles away from his territory and that there was a possibility of starting a battle at any time, so he lived in a large tent in the military camp.

After Zhou Ti left Emperor Zhou Huan, he easily came to the military camp of Meng Tai, the king of Taiping.

Zhou Ti waited until it was nearly midnight and quietly entered the military camp of Meng Tai, the king of Taiping.

Most of the barracks was in darkness, and Zhou Ti groped his way from tent to tent. A soldier who came out of the tent to urinate was restrained by Zhou Ti before he could lift his pants.

Zhou Ti forced the soldier to lead the way, and they walked step by step to the tent area where the lanterns were hung, and evaded several patrolling soldiers. Finally, the soldiers brought Zhou Ti to the big tent of Meng Tai, the king of Taiping.

Zhou Ti released the soldier, and the soldier quickly ran back to his tent.

Zhou Ti saw that the soldier had run away, so he led over and restrained the two soldiers standing guard at the gate of the big tent, and then entered the big tent of Meng Tai, the king of Taiping.

The oil lamp in the big tent was on, and Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, seemed to be asleep.

Zhou Ti deliberately made a little noise, and Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, was still lying motionless.

Zhou Ti said, "King Taiping, when I come in, you wake up, get up and fight me." ”

King Meng Tai of Taiping turned over and stood up, he was the third armed master of the dynasty, facing Zhou Ti who suddenly appeared in the big tent, his heart was as calm as water: "Xuanguan Dao Chief, did you steal into the big tent to kill me?"

Zhou Ti said: "I didn't come to kill you, I wanted to stop you from rebelling against the Xurui Dynasty." ”

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, said: "The Xurui Dynasty is no longer able to control the world: the command of soldiers and horses in various places has made the ruling soldiers of the dissatisfied dynasty dominate the side, and the world is full of wars and chaos, and the people are not able to make a living. Can such a dynasty survive?"

Zhou Ti said: "King Taiping! You are a man of his word, and with the Zhou dynasty, the commanders of the soldiers and horses in various places dare not start a war at will." When the dynasty falls, the world will fall into years of constant chaos. You, King Taiping, will become a sinner in history, won't you withdraw your troops and stop the war?"

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, sneered and said: "I don't know if it's a historical sinner, the dynasty doesn't care about the lives of the people and constantly increases the silk tax to buy the Nadi Khanate, and then uses the Nadi Khanate to suppress the people who rebel, the dynasty is the current sinner!"

Zhou Ti said: "We can't understand this reason, let's solve it by force! If you defeat me, I will support you against the dynasty." ”

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, said: "This is very fair, if you defeat me, I will withdraw from the war." ”

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, knew the origin of Zhou Ti, and also went to the Yilong Palace of Qingdang Mountain to fight with Zhou Ti in force. At that time, in order to innovate the exercises, Zhou Ti never used real power to fight against others, so Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, felt that Zhou Ti's force was half a level behind himself. In addition, for so many years, Zhou Ti has been a Taoist priest and has no experience in actual combat in force, so Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, is fully sure of defeating Zhou Ti.

The big tent was a few feet long and wide, and the two people set up a posture in the middle of the big tent.

Taiping King Meng Tai took the lead in hitting his palms, and Zhou Ti saw that his opponent's palms went straight to his chest, he slid his feet, pretending to dodge, and secretly chose a line to hit the root of the opponent's right arm on the side.

As soon as the Taiping King Meng Tai came out with his palms, he saw Zhou Ti's body shaking and wanted to dodge, so he hit Zhou Ti even faster.

As a result, Zhou Ti's palms brushed the side of the Taiping King Meng Tai's right arm and hit the root of his right arm.

Zhou Ti knew that the Taiping King Mengtai was known as the third martial artist of the dynasty, and he intended to study the Taiping King's exercises, so Zhou Ti's side attack only exerted sixty percent of his strength. But this moment still beat the Taiping King Meng Tai to a staggered and slid out a few steps.

Zhou Ti did not take the opportunity to attack the Taiping King Meng Tai, and the Taiping King Meng Tai suffered a big loss in the first move, and immediately discovered the mysterious and abnormal characteristics of Zhou Ti's moves, so his second move used a three-sided palm move.

Zhou Ti saw that the second move of Taiping King Meng Tai was in front of him and back with the other, hitting his face and chest respectively, so he took a step back. At this time, the Taiping King Meng Tai quickly pounced in front of Zhou Ti, with his left palm on top and his right palm on the bottom, and once again hit Zhou Ti's face and chest. Zhou Ti shook his palms and hit the elbow of Taiping King Meng Tai from the side, Taiping King Meng Tai's palms were all false moves - the false move used fake force, and the hitting route and part could be changed at any time, he saw that Zhou Ti's arms hit his elbows, and his palms changed to Zhou Ti's palms.

If Zhou Ti's move is a real move, he can't avoid the Taiping King Mengtai's move, but Zhou Ti's palms are also a false move, and he changes his move with the Taiping King Mengtai's move.

Taiping King Meng Tai changed his move halfway and did not hit Zhou Ti's palms, so he reverted to the original palms that hit Zhou Ti's door and chest.

Taiping King Meng Tai took the lead, and the parts of the two changes did not hit Zhou Ti, because Zhou Ti not only changed his arms, but also his steps changed - this dual-purpose exercise is the result of Zhou Ti's more than ten years of practicing Yi Jing Gong.

This move of Taiping King Meng Tai is called a three-sided palm, and there are three changes that change the hitting part, but unfortunately this exquisite palm technique has been avoided by Zhou Ti.

When Zhou Ti avoided the blows of the Taiping King Meng Tai's three-sided palm, the offensive and defensive situation changed suddenly. The Taiping King Meng Tai's moves have been exhausted and can no longer be changed, and the changes in the Zhou Ladder are still continuing. Zhou Ti saw the opportunity, and after avoiding the opponent's final blow with both palms, he changed his feet and hit the right ribs of Taiping King Meng Tai with his right palm.

Taiping King Meng Tai was still in the palm of Zhou Ti in the state of defense because the internal force of the last full blow was still there, otherwise, Taiping King Meng Tai was hit by Zhou Ti ninety percent of the force, and he would become a waste if he didn't die.

Taiping King Meng Tai was knocked to the ground by Zhou Ti's palm, his ribs were cracked, and although he did not lose his combat effectiveness, his force was also weakened by thirty percent.

King Meng Tai of Taiping stood up and said, "I really can't figure out how you practiced the exercises. I am not wronged at all, your force has surpassed that of the former Emperor Zhou Tian. Since I'm far from being your opponent, I won't fight, so give me a good time!"

Zhou Ti said: "You are not familiar with my exercises, so you will be defeated quickly. I never wanted to kill you, I just wanted you to quit. ”

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, sighed and said: "I thought that your force was not my opponent, so I made a bet with you, but this retreat is the decision of our alliance, and I am difficult to obey for a while, but I can guarantee that my army will never take the initiative to attack the dynasty." ”

Zhou Ti said: "Then so be it!"

When Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, saw that Zhou Ti was leaving, he said, "Zhou Ti! What kind of exercise are you!"

Zhou Ti said: "Yi Jinggong!"

King Meng Tai of Taiping said: "Where did this exercise come from!"

Zhou Ti said: "I founded it with the help of some masters. ”

King Meng Tai of Taiping said: "Yi Jinggong! An incredible and wonderful exercise, only Feng Dewa's Nine Piles and Eighteen Skills may be qualified to be comparable to Yi Jinggong. ”

Zhou Ti listened to the words of the Taiping King Mengtai, and became excited, he came over and said to the Taiping King Mengtai: "Is Feng Dewa Shi Dewa's younger brother?"

Meng Tai, the king of Taiping, said: "Yes, Shi Dewa once defeated me and became a saint with extraordinary force, but I heard that his younger brother Feng Dewa's force is still above Shi Dewa. The power of Feng Dewa's nine piles and eighteen skills is amazing, and he once injured Zhou Chi with one palm. ”

Zhou Ti said: "Where is Fengdewa now?"

Mengtai, the king of Taiping, said: "Fengdewa went to the Suhuo Gate of Evil Plum Mountain. ”

Zhou Ti didn't speak again, and turned around and walked out of the big tent.
