Chapter 276: The Enemy Comes from the Other Courtyard
What the scout reported was indeed correct, and after a while, Wen Taishi led the army to rush outside Chongcheng. 【】
Wen Taishi shouted under the city: "Xibo Hou Jifa, come and see me!"
Ji Fa hurriedly went up to the city tower, and saw that the Taishi army was neat, and although the soldiers were dusty, they were murderous, which was very different from the ordinary army. Ji Fa was secretly frightened, and immediately saluted in the city and said, "Old lady, the lonely king is polite!"
Wen Zhong urged Mo Qilin, walked to the city, and said in a loud voice: "Ji Fa, your father Ji Chang is a humble gentleman, and he treats all princes with courtesy, and everyone is dissatisfied with his virtue. How did you send troops rampantly as soon as you succeeded Xibohou, and you also occupied the Chongcheng of Beibohou? Our great merchant has always used the princes of the east, south, west, and north as his arms to jointly assist the Son of Heaven. Aren't you acting in such a way as a blind man and plotting against him?"
Ji Fa hurriedly said: "Beibohou Chonghou Hu is brutal and cruel to the people, and the people of Beidi are not happy, and now they have killed my own brothers Bo Liao and Yu Zhong, which is really angry and resentful." I hold the Son of Heaven to give Bai Xuan Huang Yue, so I dare not forget the holy will to conquer, so I raised the teacher of benevolence and righteousness to conquer Chonghou Hu, in order to avenge my brother's revenge and save the people of the north from fire and water. ”
Wen Zhong sneered: "I heard that you were ordered by the Son of Heaven to go south to conquer the rebel Ehuan, but because of personal grudges, you disobeyed the order without authorization and came to Chongcheng!
Ji Fa's eyes rolled, revealing a difficult color: "Chonghou Tiger resisted stubbornly, intending to kill all the people and die with Chongcheng, fortunately, Caozhou Hou Chonghei Tiger sacrificed his life and took it in time to avoid the disaster of the people." Chonghou Hu's father and son are full of evil, and they have just been beheaded, and there are still human heads. ”
Wen Zhong was furious: "That Chonghei Tiger is so hateful, it is clearly a brother, and he is actually unjustly trapping his brother!"
The black tiger here was red when he heard it in the city, but he didn't dare to make a sound. Ji Fa hurriedly excused Chongheihu: "The old lady is bad! Although the Marquis of Caozhou and Chonghou Hu are the same mother, they are loyal and good gentlemen for the sake of righteousness and do not avoid flesh and blood. ”
Chonghei Hu was very grateful to Ji Fa in his heart, and Wen Zhong did not delve into this issue, and said: "Ji Fa! Although you have Bai Xuan Huang Yue and have to be specially recruited, but Chonghou Hu is an important minister like you, how can you kill yourself in vain? Besides, now that Chonghou Hu is dead, and there is no owner in the north, you must quickly go to the table and sing a song, so as to wait for the decision of the Son of Heaven!"
Wen Zhong's statement was reasonable, although Ji Fa had the intention of plotting the northern land, he couldn't argue skillfully, so he had to agree, and asked Wen Zhong and the army to enter Chongcheng to rest. Wen Zhong rejected Ji Fa's kindness and ordered the army to camp on the spot outside the city, while he drove the ink unicorn and quickly went to Chaoge to ask for instructions.
Jiang Ziya didn't expect Wen Zhong to appear as soon as Xiqi occupied Chongcheng, and he went to Chaoge so quickly to ask for instructions, and he couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he had to be in a hurry.
Mo Qilin's feet were extremely fast, and after a while, Wen Zhong descended from the sky and brought the holy decree of the Son of Heaven. Ji Fa didn't dare to be rude, and led his ministers out of the city gate to receive the order.
The gist of the decree is: Beibohou Chonghou Hu was cruel and unkind, oppressed the people, and killed the Xiqi envoys. However, the Northern Bohou was in a high position, Ji Fa did not ask the Son of Heaven and killed him without authorization, and he was guilty of overstepping, so he ordered him to withdraw from Chongcheng as soon as possible, and led the army to the south to conquer the rebellious Ehuan, and made meritorious service for his crimes. Chong Heihu killed his brother for righteousness, although the family affection was contrary, it showed the righteousness, and he was ordered to return to Caozhou, and he had his own reward when he was young. Chongcheng was temporarily garrisoned by Taishi Wenzhong, and the handover would be carried out until the Son of Heaven decided on a new candidate for the Northern Bohou.
Ji Fa was originally ambitious for the Northland, and after defeating Chonghou Hu, he was even more high-spirited, but he unexpectedly killed Wen Taishi halfway, and in desperation, he had to accept the order. Chonghei Hu listened to the Son of Heaven and did not blame himself, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, Wen Zhong entered Chongcheng and issued a series of lenient decrees for the benefit of the people in front of the people. The people of Chongcheng were originally tyrannized by Chonghou Hu for many years, but now when they hear such a generous decree, they are all thunderous with joy and shouting long live.
Seeing this, Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya were really depressed in their hearts: the fruits of victory that came so hard were actually snatched away by Wen Zhong so sideways, but they were justified, so that they could only suffer a dumb loss.
After Wen Zhong promulgated the decree, he asked Ji Fa to quickly return to Xiqi to prepare for the southern expedition, Ji Fa did not dare to resist the decree in public, bid farewell to Wen Zhong, and led the army to retreat, and at the same time left Caozhou Hou Chong Heihu.
Before leaving, Wen Zhong called Yang Jian: "My three Taoist friends from Kowloon Island died in your hands?"
As soon as Yang Jian saw that the third divine eye between the forehead of the Taishi opened, he looked at himself, not to be outdone, and slowly opened his third eye and looked at that gaze. In an instant, there was a burning sensation in the eyes of both of them.
When Jiang Ziya saw it, he hurriedly said: "The two armies are fighting, each is its master, and it is inevitable that there will be casualties." The three Taoist friends of Kowloon Island helped Chonghou Hu, and on the battle array, they were killed by my nephew, and it was also due to the number of days, why should the old lady care?"
Wen Zhong snorted coldly, didn't look at Jiang Ziya, and said to Yang Jian: "I didn't expect that the real people of Yuding actually had such a high-ranking disciple, and they were one hundred and ten times stronger than those incompetent people who were stupid people! ”
Yang Jian felt the murderous aura on Wen Zhong's body, and the battle intent in his heart was also Dasheng, nodded slightly, gave a salute to Wen Zhong, and turned away. As soon as Jiang Ziya heard what Zhong said, "the incompetent people who criticize the foolish people", his heart beat wildly, and he didn't know if his identity was really seen through by God's eyes, where he dared to stay and left in a hurry.
So, Ji Fa led the army and returned to Xiqi to prepare for the next southern expedition, and Chongheihu also returned to Caozhou. While taking care of the affairs of Chongcheng, Wen Taishi also divided his troops and horses to support Fang Wei, who was fighting against the ghost side in the northern Xinjiang.
At this time, Zhang Zixing was closing his eyes and cultivating in the Chao Song Meditation Room. Around him, there are nine tripods of King Yu. As the power fluctuations on his body changed, Jiuding began to tremble slightly, emitting a heroic light, and slowly rose into the air, spinning according to a peculiar law.
With the rotation, the body of the nine tripods began to become ethereal, the nine shapes coincided from time to time, and the maintenance time of the overlap was gradually extended, the nine shapes overlapped together, and seemed to be combined into a new shape, this new form was larger than any of the nine tripods, and the width had increased a lot, and it looked more majestic and magnificent.
But the overlapping time was limited after all, and soon it spread out into nine shapes, continuing to fly and spin in the air. At the moment when Jiuding coincided, Zhang Zixing felt as if he had come to another place. It was a desolate land as far as the eye could see, and even the clouds in the sky were dark and dreary.
Soon, the scene of heaven and earth gradually changed, heaven and earth turned upside down, the ground was clouds, the land was overhead, and all kinds of strange shapes began to change under the feet, and even the "earth" of the sky began to glow, became transparent, and loomed the "buried" objects in it, some were human bodies, some were monsters, and some were strange things. In a moment, the heavens and the earth returned to their original state, and then gradually blurred, and returned to reality.
Zhang Zixing could feel that it was not an illusion out of thin air just now, it should be a strange space in Jiuding, and those things in "Heaven and Earth" were very likely to be the treasures sealed in Jiuding. Usually with the Nine Yao Immortal Trick to control the Jiuding, he has also entered this strange scene, at present he only absorbs the two "words" of the Chaos Nine Shapes on the Divine Iron, if you can completely absorb the power of the Nine Shapes, I believe that not only the Nine Tripods can be combined into one, become the Qiankun Ding, but also get the many treasures sealed in it.
And Zhang Zixing still has a feeling that this form of heaven and earth does not seem to be the complete form of this space, and if he can completely control Qiankun Ding, there may be a new change. At present, although I can "see" the countless treasures in Jiuding, I can't get my hands on it, in a word, it is "into the treasure mountain and empty back", it is indeed a pity. And the thing that promised Fei Lian - to take out the body of the rain master and the heart of Chi You from Jiuding could not be achieved for a while.
Dayu and Qidu cultivated the Jiuyao Immortal Formula, and they must have seen such a scene back then, maybe they forcibly refined the Jiuding so much, just for the sake of the Jiuding to merge into the Qiankun Ding and the treasures in it, and in a hurry, they exploded and died.
Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future.. Zhang Zixing knew that he could get Jiuding and Shentie, and digested the two forms of them, which was also an opportunity, and he must not rush for quick success and repeat the mistakes of the past. However, as the war is approaching, there is not much time left for him, whether this innate treasure Qiankun Ding can give him the greatest help in this killing robbery, or even turn the tide, is still unknown, fortunately, his battle is not only this innate treasure that is not yet complete, nor is it only his own strength...... Regarding the current situation, Zhang Zixing has also made many analyses: the early appearance of the Four Saints of Kowloon Island and Yang Jian did not surprise him, and due to his arrival, the world has undergone unpredictable changes. Chonghou Hu still died in the hands of Ji Fa, and he had to solve the problem of the princes of the North Road having no owner as soon as possible. As for the matter of Xiqi, will Ji Fa really willingly obey the order to conquer Ehuan? From the attempt to annex Chonghou Hu, we can see the ambition of the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and next time, what reason will he find to refuse? Or will he rely on the support of the teachings and directly rebel?
Just as Zhang Zixing finished his cultivation and walked out of the quiet room, he got an unexpected news. A Taoist came to the National Teacher's Courtyard to find the National Teacher Xiaoyaozi, but for some reason, he had a conflict with two named disciples, Cao Bao Xiaosheng. As a result, Cao Bao Xiaosheng was seriously injured, and at present, Ying Long and Xingtian have rushed over one after another after hearing the news.
Zhang Zixing was taken aback and hurriedly rushed towards the National Normal Academy. I saw Cao Bao and Xiao Sheng leaning on the stone bench with pale faces, and the damage to the courtyard was very serious, as if it had been blown by an N-level typhoon, and the people were lying on the ground, all unconscious.
Zhang Zixing asked in surprise: "What is the other thing?"
Cao Bao said: "Master, I was playing against Xiao Sheng, and suddenly a person shouted to see Shizun, I said that Shizun was not there, but the Taoist person did not believe it, and he also spoke foul language. Although my two brothers knew that he was powerful, they were angry that he had insulted the master, so they took action and received a magic weapon fan from him, but this man was very good, and then he seriously injured us......"
Xiao Sheng said: "Uncle Long then came and did a battle with that Taoist, but he was not defeated by the Daoist Shi's strong wind, fortunately, a tall man came later, and the Taoist fought in the air, all the way to the north, and Uncle Long also followed. ”
Zhang Zixing was taken aback, asked the specific direction, and was about to go, when Cao Bao stopped him: "Master, that humanist technique is very powerful, isn't it the opponent?
Zhang Zixing looked at Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, who were almost unable to move, and an apology rose in his heart, he accepted the two of them in line with the use value of the treasure money, and usually taught some chess skills, but he didn't expect the two of them to respect him from the bottom of their hearts, and it can be seen from now that he fought with the enemy for him, and the result was that he was seriously injured.
After Zhang Zixing learned that the two of them had taken the pill, he instructed them to recuperate, and gradually emitted the power of the Golden Immortal Intermediate in his body, and his body turned into a rapid red light, which disappeared into the air in a blink of an eye.
It was the first time for Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao to see this chess master show his true strength, and they couldn't help but glance at each other and show surprise.
Zhang Zixing flew all the way in the direction guided by Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, and soon found Xingtian and the enemy who were fighting, while Ying Long watched the battle in the air on the side, and his eyes showed surprise from time to time.
I saw Xingtian Void standing in the air, his hands clenched into fists, and he didn't use the Ganqi Divine Axe. And in front of him, a huge gray shadow swept around like lightning, like a cloud, enveloping Xingtian. With Zhang Zixing's eyesight, he could barely keep up with the movement of the gray shadow, but he couldn't really see the specific form of the gray shadow, and only felt that it had two wings, which seemed to be in the shape of a bird.
The gray shadow had a special power, moving with a strong wind, even if Zhang Zixing was at a distance from Ying Long, there was a feeling of a knife sweeping on his face.
However, Xingtian, who came out of the center of the sword wind, was indifferent, and the terrifying wind force seemed to be unable to break through the defenses of his body's epidermis. Xing Tian observed for a while, suddenly sneered, and simply punched out. Listening to a muffled snort, the gray cloud that was moving at high speed in the sky suddenly stopped, and a huge gray shadow with open wings bounced out suddenly, and it turned over a few times before it barely stood in the clouds, and it had returned to the appearance of a Taoist.
This Dao was born with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, wearing a gray robe, but the crown of his head was crooked, his beard was scattered, and he looked very embarrassed. As soon as Zhang Zixing saw this person's appearance, he immediately exclaimed: "Feather Winged Immortal!"
