Volume 21 "A Few Smoke and Dust on the Immortal Road in the World" Chapter 19 The mountains and rivers offer snow, and the clouds open and the sun shines brightly
The first evil ambushed, the thousand armies trembled, Zhang Tang Master struck while the iron was hot, a roar, the horsey white horse came from the distant mountains, and I don't know when a feathered girl was carried on his back. In the shadow of Wandao Mingguang, the princess of the allure city who moved the world came gracefully, her clothes were dazzling, the golden hook skirt, the jade pleats, the Lang Ji hairpin, the phoenix hairpin, the bead ribbon, the jade ring, the Huangming was delicate and brittle, with the smoke and snow light, its appearance Ye, like white clouds and snow, eyes like the constant moon and Mu waves, the skin was like crisp and creamy, the neck was like a lotus stalk, and when looking back, the smoke hugged the moon, and the snow was lightly swept at the hand, which was exactly "the wandering of the sΓ©anceal woman, the face of the fairy clothes"!
According to the prior discussion, Princess Yongchang, who was overwhelming in the world, did not say a word. Hidden in the soft white brilliance of the snow mane of the horse, she walked in front of Xingyan in the army, but her pink neck drooped slightly, and she saluted elegantly to the doctor in front of the horse.
"The princess of Allure is here!Who dares to make trouble?!"
...... With a loud shout, the armies were cleared. The master of the Four Seas Hall, who had been intimidated by the divine law, suddenly discovered that the title of Ju Ying, the "princess of the Alluring City", was more effective than his force. As soon as the name of Allure was drunk, the vast armor and army arrays on the huge training ground knelt down one after another, and everyone bowed and worshipped, and there was silence for a moment.
Seeing this, Xingyan was determined in his heart, and immediately shouted loudly, shook the four fields, and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first evil has been punished, and the rest are not concerned. If you change your life and wish to follow the princess, you will be counted as having a meritorious service in quelling the rebellion from Long, and it will be expected to split the soil in the future, and the time to seal your wife and son is not far away!"
With that, he waved his sleeves, and suddenly the chasm that had been cut by the sword light for several miles suddenly rose upwards from the bottom of the ditch, and in the blink of an eye, the wounded and sick horses at the bottom of the ditch rose back to the ground. After that, he said that with his forehead and calloused fingers, a soft white light spread from the sky, sweeping the entire school military field like a tide. Everywhere the white light passed, the wounded soldiers who groaned incessantly, no matter how light and heavy they rode healed, they immediately healed without medicine, only to feel that the pain all over their bodies disappeared, as if they had never suffered hardship.
When Xingyan showed such a method, and there was a well-known princess of Allure, these 50,000 tiger elites were naturally convinced. Speaking of which, although this Tiger Ben Army has always been controlled by the Marquis of Changyi, no matter what, he didn't dare to be too explicit when he taught him a lesson. So, when the righteousness is present, someone raised his arms and shouted, pointing out all kinds of evil deeds of the Marquis of Changyi who was seeking to usurp the throne, and there were "gods" and princesses who appeared to say that these tiger soldiers who had been loyal to the Marquis of Changyi suddenly abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.
After that, Xingyan and Ju Ying contacted several senior generals of the Tiger Ben Army, and after a little discussion, everyone only said that the horse was the first to look forward, so tens of thousands of troops were urgently assembled, and after Chen Bing was under the east city of Luoyang, Xingyan came out of the crowd alone, calmly walked to the towering Luoyang East Gate, across the moat, and said leisurely to this famous city in the world:
"Open the door!"
When Xingyan opened the door, the east gate of Jingluo, which was the key to the imperial capital, had already been suspended and the city gate was closed. I don't know if I noticed the change just now on the outskirts of the city, and now there is not even a single figure on the arrow wall of the towering tower. When Xingyan said this simple and clear sentence with great momentum, only the whirring echo of the big flags fluttering in the wind was heard on the huge Luodong Castle Tower.
After waiting for a while, the three armies outside the city were waiting a little impatiently, and suddenly a person appeared on the tower of the city. This person looked like a Huangmen Lingshi in the palace from the small half of his body carefully exposed by the arrow stack. At this moment, the thousands of tiger soldiers under the city couldn't help but be a little discouraged. was angry, but he heard the Yellow Gate Palace official shouting in a sharp voice:
"Doctor Zhang Xingyan listens to the order-"
Although facing the east, against the wind, the yellow doorman seemed to have a good voice, and the sharp voice came unyieldingly against the wind, and what he said was:
"Auxiliary Wang Changyi Marquis has an order, Chaling Ling Zhongsan doctor Zhang Xingyan, since childhood smart and agile, brave and outstanding, can be entrusted to the community, after the court auxiliary consultation, specially added Zhang Xingyan as the Marquis of Yongyi, leading the world's soldiers and horses to recruit the position of generalissimo. Chin!"
β......β
Hearing such a brazen emergency edict, the three armies were suddenly boiling, and everyone despised it. In the midst of the uproar, I heard the lonely Dr. Zhongsan suddenly answer:
"Command!"
"Uh......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and before everyone could come to their senses, they heard the young man who had just answered the edict shout:
"Listen to the soldiers of Gyeonggi Dongcheng! A certain Zhang Xingyan, in the name of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, ordered you to immediately open and close the lock, and let the new recruit of the marshal enter the city!"
β......β
Hearing this, just because he didn't know what to say, the vast Luoyang City, whether it was above or below the city, was suddenly silent. No one thought that just scolded the thief for being shameless, but there was an even more shameless one here! So in the whistling wind, everyone was embarrassed, and everyone was sweating, only to feel that this miraculous young man didn't know what the origin was, and all kinds of words and deeds were really unparalleled! At this time, among the crowd, only the princess of Allure, who was embracing the Chinese army and looking down on the four directions, listened to the words of Xingyan, and understood in her heart, and she couldn't help but laugh, and took a sip in her heart:
"Wake up, this man is still as careless as he was back then!"
Not to mention that they have such different minds, let alone the city. At this time, the situation is changing, and all kinds of changes are dizzying. When the yellow gate official in the city heard the answer, he was sweating profusely, and his face was gradually the same color as the pig's liver, but he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, looked down, and saw a bright sword tip piercing out of his heart!
"Who-"
Endured the severe pain and looked back, and before he could say a word, he was kicked over by the assassin behind him, and his body fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Who? This little thief who doesn't open his eyes, it was your Uncle Zhang who killed you!"
The assassin shouted a few words to the dead body on the ground, and then ran to the battlement, and shouted to the city with the big buttress of blue bricks:
"Zhang Tianshi, Zhang Dashuai! It's me, surrender is coming, don't beat me with divine magic!"
Just like a shadow puppet show, as soon as everyone in the city saw the red face of the little official at the Yellow Gate at the head of the city disappear, the arrow wall blinked and replaced it with another thick face full of beards, and shouted in a loud voice like a broken gong to this side:
"Zhang Dashuai, Her Royal Highness the Princess, all friendly soldiers, I am Zhang Jincheng, the guard of the East Gate City, I am willing to listen to the orders of the princess and the marshal, and this will welcome the emperor into the city!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge and sturdy gate under the general's feet rumbled open on both sides like a trick, and in an instant the drawbridge above also creaked down. In the blink of an eye, the majestic imperial city opened up in front of tens of millions of troops, and there were sharp-eyed and even blue-tiled houses in the distance standing in the front row.
"Good!"
Seeing this change, Xingyan's eyes flashed, and he had clearly seen the situation behind the opening of the city gate, and knew that those city guards who were arrayed like forests were sincere and convinced, not fake. Lian knew this, so he raised his face and arched his hand, and smiled with the general of Tongzong who killed people without blinking and was very knowledgeable about current affairs:
General Zhang's righteous act, the younger brother was very impressed. This time, please ask the princess to remember your first credit!"
With a wave of his hand, the thousands of troops and horses swarmed behind him and rushed back to the first city in the world! At this point, the Luoyang City Tower, which is known as the first city in the world, was easily broken by people without any use, whether it was the intricate secret passages of the organs or the mountains of rolling wood and stones.
From this point of view, this crusade to restore the unification of the country and destroy the lords is also the trend of the times. After that, just like the devastating and decaying, from the east city gate, the tiger and the city guards drove forward all the way, unstoppable; Before attacking the palace in the middle city, tens of thousands of troops were in good order and unwounded.
The army pressed the border, and it was the city that was full of dizziness, and until the Suzaku Street near the palace, there were no regular troops to stop it. Along the way, there were hundreds of Pure World Disciples, with red scarves on their heads and talismans on their chests, babbling with big blades to stop them, but as soon as they handed over, they were killed by the Tiger Ben sergeant who was holding back their strength, and almost none of them escaped. Among them, there are really a few people who know how to spell, and they also come to call for wind and rain, scattering beans into soldiers, but they were made by the master of Zhang Tang, and a little fire was burned, and those imposing "heavenly soldiers and horses" instantly became fragrant and fried beans, which was cheap for the greedy little guy in the capital who was looking for food on the street in the next few days.
These trivial battles do not need to be detailed, and the real resistance to entering the city this time came from the Imperial Palace. Compared with the outer city with strong buildings and deep ravines, the defense of the inner garden of this palace is not inferior.
The Luoyang Palace of this dynasty is divided into two palaces in the north and south, opposite each other across the street. There are a total of seven gates in the two palaces, namely the South Main Gate "Bus Gate" of the South Palace, the "South Tuen Mun" of the South Ye Gate, the East Main Gate "Canglong Que Gate", the North Gate "Xuanwu Gate", and the "North Tuen Mun" which is the North Ye Gate. The number of North Palace Gates is one less, which are the Nanye Gate "Zhujue South Sima Gate", the East Gate "Dongming Gate", and the North Gate "Shuoping Gate".
In the north and south palaces of the royal family, the south palace is the main palace, and the main gate is the bus, Canglongque and Xuanwu three gates. These three gates are centered on the Canglong Que Gate, the east and west axes are symmetrical, and among the three gates, the Canglong Que Gate is the main gate of the main palace. The palace gates headed by Canglongque are all heavy and huge, and they are heavily guarded. Especially after more than two months of operation by Changyihou, there is a dark wall outside every door, and there is a military room inside the door.
In addition to these palace gates that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are eight palace corners in the vast north and south imperial cities. The corners of the palace are the four corners of the palace wall, because the four corners of the palace wall are the most easily occupied by people, so as the last fortress barrier of the dynasty in the event of foreign invasion, the four corners of the palace wall are heightened with barriers. Originally, the palace wall was five zhang high, and the corner of this palace was two zhang high, which was seven zhang. With such a size, it is conceivable that the imperial palace at that time was like an impregnable fortress.
Because of this, when the crusading army led by Xingyan and Ju Ying came to the east gate of the main palace, Canglongque, and approached from the four corners of the street, they suddenly heard the loud drums in the palace, and the voices of the people were boiling. Obviously, there are not only a large number of troops in this palace now, but also some cultivators to help.
In this way, although the guards who had a clear message and rushed in front just now were unharmed, but what followed was a situation where the fish were dead and the net was broken! Those soldiers in the turtle palace were all dead soldiers of the Marquis of Changyi, and they did not listen to any persuasion from the warning and Ju Ying to surrender at all.
In this situation, there is a dilemma. If the battlefield is elsewhere, in the face of these stubborn dead soldiers, there are countless ways to eliminate the outnumbered and well-trained Tiger Ben soldiers. It's just that now it's clear that it's a "rat-throwing" situation, and the enemy's position opposite them is a beautiful palace. In other words, at that time, if it was said in ordinary times, that is, if you accidentally damaged a royal artifact, it could be regarded as a crime of defrauding the king, and maybe you would have to be exiled to the army! Of course, even if these rules can be ignored now, the imperial city palace is after all a symbol of the authority of the world and a temple in the minds of the people, the army and the people, and it must always maintain a graceful and peaceful atmosphere. Now it's going to turn into a bloody killing field in the blink of an eye, and it can't be said anyway.
Therefore, the crusading army, which was originally overwhelming, stopped for a while. The huge army of horses was condensed in the houses on the streets outside the palace, and there was little use.
Before such a predicament, it was natural that everyone's eyes were focused on the seemingly omnipotent teenager. At this time, not only did the generals have no plan, but even the princess of Allure, who was weak on the outside and decisive in her heart, faced with the dilemma of the dignity of the royal family, she was also suffering from gains and losses, and she had no clue. But ...... "Hah!"
What is a big thing to them is just a small thing to the awakening now. The turmoil in the South China Sea for more than half a year, and the Kunlun travel in a week, have already made him secretly reborn. Although he himself still often thinks that he is a lucky little guy with many adventures, he has already been wise and courageous before he knows it.
Therefore, in the face of such an embarrassing situation, Xingyan saw the difficulties of everyone, and only after a little change of mind, he immediately had an idea. Immediately, he said to Ju Ying, who was frowning:
"Your Royal Highness Princess, don't worry, I've come up with a solution. β
"Oh, wake up!"
"Well, Ju Ying, don't you see that the male-minded Marquis of Changyi deceived the king and killed the king, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest? Then I will ask him and his henchmen to wear a vegetarian and bring filial piety to repay their evil deeds!"
β......β
Listening to the sober words, Rao is Juying is smart, but he didn't think for a while that the sober words had anything to do with how to solve the stubborn enemies in the palace.
However, when Ju Ying, who was confused, saw Xingyan's next move, like the soldiers around him, he suddenly had some understanding of his countermeasures. In the eyes of her and the soldiers who were close to Zuo, they were awake and concentrated. Unlike ordinary mages in the world, there was almost no stagnation, and he shouted:
"Up!"
The cheers fell, and a bright sword light suddenly rose from behind him. The sword light of the white waterfall rushed into the clouds, like a nick in the vast clouds. After that, there were more and more white clouds in the sky, and soon the whole sky was covered with heavy clouds.
The chaotic clouds flew in, the light passed, and the sky was only left with the sword marks that shone like the Milky Way. The sword marks shone brightly, and the white and flawless clouds gradually changed color, from bright to white, from white to gray, and from gray to lead, and gradually turned into a heavy iron color. At this time, the warm and mighty east wind suddenly turned its direction, and suddenly blew from the northwest, rushing and falling over the palace like a hurricane, howling and roaring like a wild beast, almost making people hear the sound like falling into an ice cellar, and the blood coagulated!
When the terrible north wind howled like a beast, and the gloomy clouds in the sky seemed to open their eyes, suddenly the snow began to fly, and countless snow flakes the size of copper coins fell from the clouds, carried by the fierce wind, and fell quickly like a heavy rainstorm, and all fell into the palace like eyes!
These cold snow, which are very different from the elegant posture of the past, have a certain incomprehensible killing meaning, and are mixed with the cold and fierce north wind, and the pieces are like ice blades and frost swords.
Heavy snow fell from the sky and fell into the eerie and unknown palace. As the snow fell, the shouting and scolding in the palace gradually weakened, and finally it was as silent as death. When the last call in the palace dissipated, the roaring north wind suddenly stopped, and only the white snowflakes were still falling between the heavens and the earth, covering the palace garden that had long been white.
At this time, the three armies held their breath, and the world seemed to be completely silent, only the rustling of snowflakes falling to the ground was heard.
This kind of silence is a little terrifyingly quiet. The elegant princess, who was quietly watching, suddenly felt very uncomfortable, although she had been standing peacefully in the warm spring breeze, she only felt that the blood was cold all over her body, as if the weight of a boulder was heavy, and she gradually almost couldn't breathe. In front of the heavenly power like Shenyuan's anger, the girl who was as weak as Lan struggled several times before she said the long-brewing words in her heart to the person in front of her:
"Wake Up ......"
The girl's teeth were fighting, her shoulders were shrunk, and she asked in a trembling voice:
"This snow...... Gotta ...... Can you not go down?"
"Yes~"
The young man who was paying attention to the snow heard Ju Ying's request, smiled and readily agreed.
"Thank you!"
"Appeal ......"
Somehow, hearing the sober answer, Ju Ying was relieved and let out a long breath.
After Ju Ying said, sure enough, the snowfall gradually changed the momentum of the original overwhelming, and the rain became thinner and thinner, and when the last few snowflakes fell into the palace room, the clouds in the sky dispersed. The bright sunlight shines directly on the head, illuminating the slightly exposed eaves ridge of the Yuque Qiong Palace in the distance like a miraculous glass that can shine on its own.
"Hee ......"
When he saw that his masterpiece was finally completed, Xingyan also breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, in the repetitive bright sunshine, he occasionally turned his face, and suddenly saw the girl's expression looking at the direction of the palace gate with a sad and gentle expression, and he suddenly remembered something, so he woke up and blamed himself for his carelessness, why did he not explain the wonders of this snowfall method to the kind princess in advance, but caused this poor man to bear this heart in vain...... β»β»β» Explanation: Well, when the author clears the rebellion with lightning speed, the story will enter the link that everyone may be more concerned about......
