Chapter 1253: Seoul Turmoil
Zheng Zheng did not return to the inn, but took the three of Taoxiang out for a circle.
The entire Santong Pass has become a hell of the underworld, a sea of the undead.
Millions of troops gathered here, it was really chariots and horses, and pedestrians with bows and arrows at their waists. The evil spirit is rampant here, the ghosts are rampant, every day there are soldiers who are brazenly not afraid of life and death to attack the city, the golden drum shakes the sky, the sound of killing rises and falls, the blood light is filled, the corpses are ambushed for thousands of miles, and the blood flows like a river.
Zheng Zheng found that although it was said that it was a seventy-two road thief, it was actually only more than ten banners. There are indeed many masters hidden in the array, and Thaksin generally does not show up easily. As for the demon cultivators and witch clans that Kun Zhenren said, he didn't see any of them, and he was obviously not here in Santongguan.
After turning around, he was accidentally discovered by the other party several times, and if he didn't run fast, he would really have to be intercepted and set up a layer. Zheng Zheng has a preliminary understanding of the capabilities of these forces.
A few days later, he left Santongguan and did not return to Huadu, but lived in seclusion in a place called Yuexiu Mountain, about 300 kilometers away from Seoul. Not to mention, this place is a treasure of feng shui, not only the aura is rich, but also the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, there is a kind of artistic conception of picking the southeast and seeing the Nanshan leisurely.
Zheng Zheng explored a little and found that the underground was still connected to the earth dragon vein, which was no wonder.
I simply set up two grass huts here and lived in seclusion for the time being.
He's waiting.
Waiting for Seoul to survive this most difficult period.
Autumn goes to spring, and half a year is in the blink of an eye.
The days are leisurely, but there are a few immortals living in seclusion in Yuexiu Mountain, but they are not far away.
The general cause is this, because his mother was seriously ill in bed, he worked hard to find the elixir in the deep mountains of Yuexiu. Unexpectedly, there was a heavy fog in the sky, and it was impossible to distinguish the north and the south in the mountains, so this filial son accidentally broke into Zheng Zheng's seclusion.
After learning what had happened, Moyu gave him a pill and sent him to the countryside.
The filial son took the pill home and gave it to his mother, but the body did not hurt that day, and he was able to get out of bed and walk the next day, and on the third day, he not only recovered from the disease that had been plagued for decades, but also was able to work in the field.
It's a miracle.
The filial son knows that he has met the immortals, and he will say this when he meets people, they are all neighbors in the township, which family does not know the roots, and the news of the immortals in Yuexiu Mountain is completely confirmed, and since then there have been people entering the mountain every three or five days, but no one has the good luck of the filial son to meet Zheng Zheng and a few people.
And there is fairy news in Yuexiu Mountain, which naturally spreads farther and farther.
In 1288 in the Central China calendar, a shocking news came from Seoul: a generation of heroes and kings finally died in the Taiji Palace due to ineffective treatment at the age of eighty. It stands to reason that the crown prince was supposed to ascend the throne, but when the minister read out the edict, everyone was stupid, and no one thought that King Qi would be the ninth prince and the king.
The entire court was in an uproar, and the prince turned his face on the spot, questioning the authenticity of the edict. The four ministers in the palace urgently consulted with each other, and after repeatedly confirming that it was correct, the prince left with hatred, and then gathered troops in Delong Mansion, recalled his henchman Han Geng overnight, and King Ming led his troops into Seoul.
In the middle of the night, a fire suddenly ignited in the palace, and the jade seal and crown, which symbolized the royal power, were unfortunately lost in the panic, and it is unknown who stole them. The third prince pretended to be looking for thieves, and transferred Yulin attendants and the Praetorian Guards into the palace, not only controlling the concubines of the East Palace, but also massacring them to eliminate dissent.
The chaos in Seoul has been born, and people have become panicked.
When Taishi Zhong got the news, he had to retreat from the front line overnight and sit in the center, so as to avoid the situation of falling apart.
The whole country mourns, and Seoul is white.
The middle palace issued three letters in a row, proclaiming to the world, and at the same time begging the princes to stop the army and occupy half a month.
After all, these princes were also the king of the covenant back then, and at this time Hancheng was in chaos, although the ninth prince ascended the throne, he could not convince the public, and several princes were even more open and secretly tricky, China was already far away, and these forces were also happy to see it happen, watching the princes kill each other.
Seeing that King Qi was dead and that China was about to be destroyed, the princes who had stopped could not help but feel strange and began to think about the future.
At this time of internal and external difficulties, Seoul turned over a new calendar.
Winter has turned to spring, and the snow and ice are still falling, but the breath of sunshine has gradually approached. In the past few days, Zheng Zheng's heart has been surging, his thoughts are restless, and he has set up divination several times, but he can't know it because of the blind of heaven. He had a feeling that he was afraid that this kind of leisurely life would be gone.
He simply took a hoe, carried the grass on his back, and took Moyu to the village fence garden to weed. After a while, there was a sudden rush of cranes in the distant sky, and it didn't take long for a white light to cross the sky. Just by looking at the range and way of its flight, you can know that the white crane is not lightly injured.
Sure enough, the white crane finally tilted down from the sky after holding on for a few minutes. At the same time, a figure fell down, coincidentally, it was the direction of Xiuyue Mountain.
Zheng Zheng sighed, what should come will always come.
He put away his hoe, untied his robe, put on his robe, took up his crown, and in a blink of an eye, he changed from a simple old peasant to an immortal cultivator. After quickly rescuing this person, Zheng Zheng unexpectedly found that he was a little familiar, wasn't it the Five Strange Daoists who were in the Five Prisons Division that day?
At this time, his image was extremely miserable, not only was his robe shattered, but the pair of wings behind him were also extremely injured, and there were two shocking wounds on his body, not only blood flowed out, but the residual fire and poisonous aura on it was quite domineering. After Zheng Zheng looked at it, he couldn't help frowning, took out a few pills from the ring, fed one, and helped him apply two more.
It didn't take long for Wuqi to slowly wake up.
Zheng Zheng asked in a deep voice: "Why are you injured like this, and how is the form of the imperial capital now?"
Wuqi hurriedly thanked him, and then he was a little weak and said with a wry smile: "Right now, the imperial capital is in a mess." The princes of the Seventy-two Roads did not defeat Hua China, but they did not expect that their own internal strife would plunge the empire into a catastrophe. ”
Zheng Zheng asked with some curiosity, "What's wrong?"
Wuqi shook his head depressedly and said: "The ninth prince has been the king for less than three months, and then he died violently on the bed in the middle palace. The eldest prince didn't know who was plotting against him, and he also died a mysterious death. At present, there is no leader in Seoul, there are strong enemies outside, and there are princes and friends inside, and they are attacking each other, hey......"
Zheng Zheng knew that the form of Seoul must be bad, but he didn't expect it to be so bad. He pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Do you know where the seventeenth prince is and what he does?"
Wuqi was surprised and said, "Deed?"
He pondered for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses and said, "He's guarding the mausoleum." ”
Zheng Zheng was a little surprised and said, "Guarding the mausoleum?"
Wuqi nodded and said: "Speaking of this group of princes, he is more filial and intelligent. For the sake of the throne and for the way out in the future, others did their best to move around, but he proposed to go to the tomb of the king of the covenant for three years. In this way, it avoids court disputes and leaves a way to live. ”
