Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e who was adjacent to Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, was in the palace of the king of Xiang'e in the royal city of Ezhou, and he continued to receive the news that the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, were occupied by the troops of the Nine Desolation Mountains, which made him very shocked, because the seven kings (seven army marshals) of their Xurui Dynasty were the victors in the wars of all dynasties.

The second thing that Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, was shocked by was that there were three Great Martial Sects in the Nine Desolation Mountains. Da Ran, the soldier lord who fought to a draw with Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, and Shi Dewa, who was beaten by Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, did not dare to fight again, and the force of the two was obviously a great martial artist; the king of Xiang'e also got the news that Mo Shi, the fifth great monk of the Luo Danpo Dynasty, had also defected to the Nine Martial Mountains, so that there were three Great Martial Sects in the Nine Wilderness Mountains, and there were only more than ten Great Martial Sects in the entire dynasty.

The third thing that Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, was shocked by was that the king of Nanling had cheated to death. The king of Nanling was the first of the seven kings, and his military strength ranked second among the four great martial kings of the dynasty (Zhou Tian, Feng Yi, Meng Tai, and Zhou Chi); the area of the prefecture and county under his jurisdiction was much larger than that of Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, and Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e; all his troops were more than 300,000; and the power of Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, was far above that of the other kings. Also, the Zhou family relied on the power of the Feng family to establish the Xurui Dynasty, and the Feng family and the emperor Zhou family had an extremely special friendly relationship, so the sudden death of Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, on Yong'an Island made the people of the entire dynasty dumbfounded and unbelievable. Eight years later, the people of Jiuhuangling actually spread the news of the death of the king of Nanling, and the fate of the dynasty will definitely change significantly because of the life and death of Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, so the death of the king of Nanling is the most shocking event for Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e.

Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, was shocked, but he was full of doubts and worries. After the people of Jiuhuangling broke through the Qiqing King City, the next target of the attack was Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e.

After the soldiers of Jiuhuangling captured Hui'an Mansion, Zhou Chi, the commander of the Imperial Martial Academy, came to the Xiang'e Palace. The forces of Jiuhuangling showed strong combat effectiveness in the battle with the forces of Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, and the combat effectiveness of the crossbowmen in the formation completely suppressed the combat effectiveness of the dynasty's archers, and the combat effectiveness of the soldier master Daran, especially Shi Dewa's personal horror, has aroused the great attention of Emperor Zhou Tian, and he sent his cousin Zhou Chi, the fourth master of the dynasty, Shi Dewa's master, to Ezhou Wangcheng specifically to deal with Shi Dewa.

The day after Zhou Chi came to the Xiang'e Palace, Sun Han, the king of Liangjiang, also sent his son Sun Xun to the palace to inquire about the news.

After breakfast on this day, Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, was talking to Zhou Chi in the side hall on the east side of the palace hall, and his son Xu Zhan and Sun Xun, the son of Sun Han, the king of Liangjiang, sat with him.

At this time, a herald came to report that the chief of the Su Huo Gate, Bitter Endive, had come to visit.

Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, got up and saluted Zhou Chi, and then said, "Lord Dianshuai! ”

Zhou Chi stood up and said to Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e: "The bitter endive of Suhuomen is world-beating, and it is rumored that he is the number one master in the west, and his Suhuomen is also a benevolent and righteous teacher who eliminates violence and peace. You go and receive the endive, I can't show up, so I'll go back and rest first. ”

After Zhou Chi finished speaking, he walked out of the palace gate and returned to an independent courtyard on the east side of the palace garden.

Xu Zhan saw that Zhou Chi was gone, so he retired with his father, Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, and took Sun Xun back to his mansion.

Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, went out to take the endive into the palace, they passed through the three-story hall in the front yard, and walked through the five-story courtyard, and came to a large garden composed of cloisters, pavilions, stone carvings, pools, rockeries, flowers and trees, behind the garden is the house of Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, and there is a bamboo forest behind the house.

Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, and the bitter endive coincidentally walked until they reached the most secluded bamboo forest in the palace before stopping.

As soon as Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, stopped, he said: "Bitter endive! Zhou Chi, the marshal of the capital, lives in my palace, so I brought you here, and after I finished speaking, I can't keep you in the palace longer. ”

The bitter endive said, "King Xiang'e! I do have something important to tell you, so I didn't go to see your old father and mother first." ”

There is no taboo in talking between Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, and the bitter endive, because they have been close friends for nearly 30 years.

More than 20 years ago, Xu Zhengguan worshiped the captain of Ezhou City, and his wife was a native of Zhaozhou under the Evil Plum Mountain. When his wife was just pregnant with Xu Zhan, Xu Zheng went on an expedition to the northwest for half a year, and he asked his wife to return to her mother's house in Zhaozhou.

Mrs. once went to a clean temple in the north mountain of Evil Plum Mountain to offer incense, and when she went down the mountain, she encountered a storm, and several accompanying subordinates and the palanquin man helped Mrs. to hide in a cave. I didn't want a tiger to live in the cave recently, and the tiger was disturbed and roared and pounced on everyone.

When they ran out of the cave, the lady fell behind, and she ran a short distance before she fell to the ground, and by this time the tiger had come out of the cave, and in a leap came to the lady.

Just when the lady who had fallen got up and wanted to run again, and the tiger was about to pounce on the lady, the endive appeared behind the tiger, raised his hand and slapped the back of the tiger's neck, and the tiger was knocked to the ground and could not get up.

At that time, Bitter Ivory had already joined the Su Huo Sect and became the leader with the Nine Eighteen Divine Skills. Recently, there was a tiger disaster on the North Mountain, the tiger bit and bit several pilgrims, the bitter endive heard the news and came to the North Mountain to track down the tiger, he had killed a tiger the day before yesterday, and today he was looking for the tiger in the cave, he heard the tiger's roar and ran over, just to save the lady.

Madame was so frightened that she could no longer walk. Bitter Ryce found the sedan chair that Mrs. was riding, let her get on the sedan chair, asked Mrs. Address, and told Mrs. to hold on to the handrail in the sedan chair, and then he picked up the sedan chair and walked down the mountain.

The bitter endive was miraculous, and he walked without difficulty in carrying a sedan chair with a person on his back, and in a short time he caught up with several subordinates of the wife's family who had escaped.

Several of the subordinates had never seen a tiger before, so they were so frightened when they heard the tiger's roar that they forgot about their wife for a while, and only cared about running for their lives.

Several subordinates saw the endive carrying the sedan chair, hurriedly stopped the endive, and went to greet the lady in the sedan chair.

After that, the bitter endive protected several subordinates and sent the lady back to her home in Zhaozhou.

Half a year later, Xu Zheng returned victoriously and learned that the endive had saved his wife, and took a thousand taels of gold to the Evil Plum Mountain to find the Suhuo Gate and see the endive.

Bitter Ryce looked at the thousand taels of gold sent by Xu Zheng and said, "Lord Xu, you see that I am dressed in sackcloth and linen shoes, a table of corn and wild vegetables, and a wooden house and stone cave in a mountain, I don't need the gold you gave me!"

Xu Zheng inquired about the disciples of Suhuomen, and learned that the bitter endive and the disciples of Suhuomen did not hesitate to kill the violent Anliang, and he was deeply moved, and donated all the thousand taels of gold to the monastery of Evil Plum Mountain.

When Xu Zheng said goodbye to Bitter Endive, he gave Bitter Herb a token, telling Bitter Herb that the disciples of the Bitter Herb Fire Sect would inevitably hurt people if they did something good to eliminate violence, and if they hurt people, they would have to deal with the government, and this token would be helpful for the disciples of the Bitter Herb to quickly close the case.

Bitter Ivory accepted the token, and after that, this token played a big role in protecting the disciples of the Su Huo Sect.

Since then, Xu Zheng and Bitter Ivory have often corresponded and become inseparable friends.

Now, when the formation of the Nine Desolation Mountains was about to attack the state capital of Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, he came to tell his friend Xu Zheng the real reason for the war, and the purpose was to persuade him to make way for the soldiers of the Nine Desolation Mountains.

Bitter Lyive told Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, the truth he learned from Shi Servant.

Bitter Ryce started from Feng Ta, the nephew of the King of Nanling, who saved the son of the Great Rumor Master Hedang on Yong'an Island, and got the Cangqi Divine Knife, and kept saying:

After Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, obtained the Cangqi Divine Sword, he dedicated the knife to Emperor Zhou Tian. This Cangqi Divine Sword was forged by the great magician of Yong'an Island from new metal obtained from a distant island, and its sharpness and hardness were the highest in the world. In order to obtain the Cangyu Divine Sword again, the dynasty invited Shi Dewa, the son of the great magician Cangdewa, to go to the Imperial Martial Academy. Later, in order to snatch all the new metals on Yong'an Island to build the Cangqi Divine Knife, Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, offered a plan - to deceive the island to death.

Zhou Chi blockaded Yong'an Island for eight years, forced away hundreds of elite children on Yong'an Island, and forced the Great Ballad Master and the Great Magician to death.

Later, hundreds of elite children who escaped from Yong'an Island, under the leadership of Shi Dewa, took refuge in Jiuhuangling. The Miao clan of Yong'an Island and the Changyu clan of Jiuhuangling turned out to be the same clan and clan, and Daran, the soldier master of Shidewa and Jiuhuangling, after several years of painstaking management, trained tens of thousands of soldiers with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

The dynasty was afraid that the formation of the Nine Desolation Mountains would develop and pose a threat to the dynasty, so he brazenly ordered Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, to eliminate the formation of the Nine Desolation Mountains. As a result, the Luyang Mansion Guard, a subordinate of Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, fought a great defeat in the treacherous terrain of Jiuhuangling. In order to lure the soldiers of the Nine Desolation Mountains out of the Nine Desolation Mountains, the Luyang Prefecture Governor sent 30,000 troops to attack the residential areas of the Nine Desolation Mountains at night, slaughtering thousands of civilians. The soldiers of the Nine Desolate Mountains were forced to worship the ancestors, and they went out of the Nine Desolate Mountains to attack the state capital and county of Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu. They want to avenge the dead great ballad masters and great magicians on Yong'an Island, hundreds of young people who have been forced to live a life of fugitives who have been separated from their flesh and blood, and those who have lost their freedom for eight years on the whole island, and avenge the thousands of ordinary people who died tragically in Jiuhuangling. They demanded that Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, and Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, be punished......

Bitter Ryche recounted all the news that Shi Servant had received from Zhang He, the head of the palace.

After listening to the words of the bitter endive, Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, was stunned: the words of the servant and the bitter endive are absolutely credible, in that case, all the actions of Feng Yi, the king of Nanling, are really despicable and shameless, and the behavior of the dynasty is also extremely cruel......

Seeing that Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, frowned, he knew that Xu Zheng was a righteous gentleman, and at this moment, he was already mired in the mud pond of grievances between the dynasty and the Nine Desolation Mountains.

Bitter Herb stared at Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, for a while, and then said, "King Xiang'e! I have come to intercede with you for the people of the Nine Desolation Mountains, and I hope you can make way for them. ”

Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, said: "Even if I don't stop the people of the Nine Desolate Mountains, their confrontation with the dynasty is simply hitting a stone with an egg." The forces of Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, and me are just the two fingers of the dynastic giants, and the forces of Emperor Zhou Tian, the king of Nanling, Feng Yi, the king of the grassland, Chijin Bo Khan, and the king of Taiping, Meng Tai, are the hands and legs of the dynastic giants. There are more than 1.5 million mercenaries of their four major forces, and their personal combat effectiveness is unimaginably high - my martial arts level is already the highest level of the Great Martial Sect, but the martial arts of Emperor Zhou Tian, Nanling King Feng Yi, and Taiping King Meng Tai are not in the martial arts level (Shi Lishi, Iron Warrior, Bronze Warrior, Silver Warrior, Jin Wuzun, Jade Martial Sect), and I once heard King Taiping say that Emperor Zhou Tian's martial arts level is one level higher than him, and that is the legendary Martial Saint realm. The soldiers of the Nine Desolate Mountains are the righteous army, so I advise you to stop the next move of the Nine Desolate Mountains, retreat to the Nine Desolate Mountains, and preserve the flame of justice. ”

Bitter Borly unconsciously sneered, paused, and said: "King Xiang'e! The heart of justice cannot be stopped! The more than 1.5 million unjust troops who fight for privileged money for a few people are nothing compared to the tens of millions of people who pursue the common desire for equality and freedom. Therefore, it is the more than 1.5 million troops of the dynasty that should stop advancing, as well as the king of Xiang'e who is outside. What we want is fraternity, and what we oppose most is war, but if the hegemonic heart of the dynasty does not die, the war will not stop. There is a way to cut down but there is no way, this is a heavenly principle since ancient times, so I can't dissuade the people of the Nine Desolation Mountains. ”

The king of Xiang'e said: "Even if the people's hearts are on the side of the Nine Desolate Mountains, I also heard that some soldiers under Zheng Kai, the king of Qiulu, defected to the formation of the Nine Desolation Mountains, and I can also secretly lean towards the Nine Desolation Mountains, but the two major forces that can really shake the foundation of the dynasty The grassland king Chijin Bo Khan and the Nanling king Feng Yi will definitely stand on the side of the royal forces of the dynasty, especially the king of Nanling, Feng Yi and the emperor Zhou Tianxing, as long as the three of them stand together, the formation of the Nine Desolate Mountains will have no chance of winning." ”

I heard that the first monk of the Luo Danpo Dynasty, Amugan, has been giving alms in the steppe of Chijin Bo Khan for many years, and the first top secret of the dynasty of Nanling King Feng Yi's death can be reported, which shows that the power of the royal family and the Feng family, the king of Nanling, is not a monolith, and the development of heaven is not something we can see clearly. ”

Xu Zheng, the king of Xiang'e, was full of gratitude to the bitter endive who saved his wife and his son Xu Zhan, and he looked at the bitter endive and said slowly: "What you said may be reasonable, but the force that Emperor Zhou Tian and Nanling King Feng Yi can change the situation by force is an undeniable fact. If they come out and injure or kill Shi Dewa and the soldier master Da Ran of the Nine Desolation Mountains, will the remaining 100,000 soldiers in the Nine Desolation Mountains still be able to become powerful?

I heard Shi Servant say that Shi Dewa is a genius of the world, born with divine power, since he was a child, he practiced martial arts with his father, the master of the Miao clan, and practiced the royal internal strength with Zhou Chi in the Imperial Martial Academy, and practiced the marksmanship of the Meng family of the Taiping King in the Nine Desolation Mountains, and his force was comparable to that of Emperor Zhou Tian. In addition, Shi Dewa's younger brother Feng Dewa is the leader of our Su Huo Gate, and his force is one level higher than mine, which is enough to resist Feng Yi, the king of Nanling. ”
