Chapter 667: Worship
After coming out, Jiang Yunsong came to report that the soldiers had sent back the news that although Jiang Zheng's injuries were stable, he could not act, so he could only go to worship later.
So Zilong didn't force it, so he took Jiang Yunsong, Wan'er and a few other people to leave the military camp together and march towards a river valley.
After a while, before sunset, I finally arrived in this river valley. Looking at the lonely tomb in the valley without a tombstone, Wan'er was full of sadness, and her heart was full of sadness.
King An is now to be characterized as a failed rebellion, so his tomb cannot be blatantly engraved with King An's tombstone. Zilong meant that he would make up a tombstone in the future, and in the name of An Ningxiao, he would make up a tombstone.
As for other Duan Heng, Jiang Han and others, some can be engraved with tombstones, such as Duan Heng, and some cannot be engraved with real names, such as Jiang Han.
These Zilong have also finished discussing with Jiang Yunsong, and they all have ideas.
Wan'er and Zilong got off their horses, walked straight to the largest tomb, took out incense paper to light it, knelt down in front of the tomb, and kowtowed to say goodbye.
Zilong also knelt down, and prayed secretly in front of this tomb: "His Royal Highness King An, you can go with confidence! I will definitely take care of Wan'er, take care of Daming's Sheji, and let Liu Jin go down as soon as possible to atone for his sins!"
After the prayer was finished, he also kowtowed nine times in front of King An's tomb.
When he raised his head, a breeze blew, urging the spirit flag on the tomb, as if it represented King An under the Nine Springs, as if he already knew Zilong's prayer.
After worshipping King An, Zilong and Wan'er came to Jiang Han's tomb again. Although Jiang Han and Zilong did not see each other much, when Zilong was able to be promoted to the garrison of Zhenqiang Fort, firstly, it was his own ability, and the intentional cultivation of King An, and secondly, it was the completion of Jiang Han's general army.
Now this loyal and brave chief soldier has died tragically last night, buried in this river valley, with King An as his companion.
Zilong and Wan'er were both embarrassed, and respectfully worshiped in front of his tomb, and also prayed before King An's tomb, but Wan'er was replaced by Jiang Zheng.
After worshipping Jiang Han's general soldiers, Zilong came to the tomb of his brother Duan Heng again. Duan Heng was killed by the vicious Ye Wuyan last night because he didn't want to kill Liang Mengxue, although Zilong was not present at the time, he could imagine the scene at that time.
Duan Heng's actions were not pedantic, but just spontaneous actions in the spirit of chivalry. In Zilong's opinion, although it is a pity that he died like this, he also died well, which made Zilong awe-inspired.
Standing in front of Duan Heng's tomb at the moment, Zilong picked up a pot of wine, tears couldn't stop flowing out, and said in a choked voice: "Third brother, I thought that you, me, and eldest brother could have a good time together and create a world of our own." It's a pity that I don't want you to leave us first. The second brother swears here, I will not kill Ye Wuyan and avenge you, I swear not to be a man!"
As he spoke, he spilled the pot of wine in front of Duan Heng's tomb, and only poured the last bit into his mouth at once, as if he was toasting to Duan Heng.
"Zilong doesn't have to be like this!" While Zilong was drinking, two figures walked slowly from outside the river valley, and when they looked closely, it was Gu Xiaotian, who was captured by Ye Wuyan last night, and Ouyang Jin, Zilong's sworn brother, who said this, it was Gu Xiaotian, I only heard him and Ouyang Jin walking towards this side, and said, "Duan Heng is good, he has not insulted my Gu Xiaotian's prestige!"
Since Zilong fled last night, he thought that Gu Xiaotian would die. Seeing him walking with Ouyang Jin safe and sound, he couldn't help but jump up happily, mentioned light skills, came to Gu Xiaotian, bowed down and said: "Apprentice Xu Zilong, meet Master, I thought, I thought it was ......."
"Haha! Do you still think that this old man of mine will die?" Gu Xiaotian smiled heartily, looked at Zilong with an embarrassed face and asked. When everyone met, they naturally had a lot to say, and Gu Xiaotian also roughly talked about last night's situation.
It turned out that the set of martial arts that Gu Xiaotian performed last night was actually taught to him by Ye Wuyan. That set of martial arts has a name, called Qingbi Jin Jian, which was originally Ye Wuyan's master's martial arts.
It's just that once Ye Wuyan saw the beauty of this set of martial arts, and knew that this set of martial arts was created by Shen Yanli because of love, so he begged Shen Yanli to pass on this set of martial arts to her.
In Ye Wuyan's heart at that time, she wanted to practice this set of martial arts with her senior brother Fan Tianya. It's a pity that Fan Tianya was first intoxicated with the self-respecting merit transformed from Purple Qi Tianluo, and later fell in love with Xie Ruolan, and never had the slightest personal affection for Ye Wuyan.
After Fan Tianya joined hands with Xie Ruolan to go into hiding, Ye Wuyan was moved by Gu Xiaotian's infatuation with her, so he married Gu Xiaotian and returned to him together, and then taught Gu Xiaotian this set of love than Jin Jian.
The two of them are in the secluded valley, in addition to practicing their own martial arts, they are practicing this love than Jin Jian every day. Therefore, at the time of crisis, Gu Xiaotian thought of using this set of feelings to compare Jin Jian, drawing out Ye Wuyan's old feelings for himself that might still exist, in an attempt to save his life.
Sure enough, after this love was displayed by Jin Jian, Ye Wuyan couldn't help but use it, practicing with him, as if returning to the valley, and also remembering Gu Xiaotian's infatuation with him, and interceding for Gu Xiaotian at the last moment, he finally saved Gu Xiaotian's life.
Hearing Gu Xiaotian say so many reasons, Zilong and the others were also embarrassed. It's just that Zilong still said: "Master, although Ye Wuyan saved you once, but Duan Heng died at her hands after all, I ......"
"You don't need to say it!" Gu Xiaotian also smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed and said, "Although Ye Wuyan was my wife and saved my life, after all, Duan Heng is also my apprentice, and he is my designated heir.
If Duan Heng's skills are not as good as others and he is killed by her, I won't say anything. But at that time, she used Liang Mengxue as bait and booby-trapped Duan Heng, which really made my teeth cold.
In the future, if it hits your hands, you let her go once, and after that, I will never care whether she lives or dies, can you agree to be a teacher?"
In the end, Gu Xiaotian's tone was a little pleading, how could Zilong not hear it, knowing that although Gu Xiaotian was annoyed that Ye Wuyan had used his means to kill Duan Heng, he still didn't want to directly seek revenge with Ye Wuyan, so he immediately sighed secretly, nodded, and said: "Master has a life, and the apprentices don't dare to disobey, but if Ye Wuyan causes trouble again, I will definitely not spare her, even if I don't kill her, I'm afraid she won't have the opportunity to do evil again!"
Yi Zilong's current martial arts can be said to be only above Gu Xiaotian, Ren Bufan and others, not below them. If Ye Wuyan is against Shangzilong, he is not half lucky.
Gu Xiaotian naturally knew this, and also knew that Zilong had made great concessions, so he immediately had to sigh, nodded helplessly and said, "What you said is that it's all up to you!"
Seeing that Gu Xiaotian agreed, Zilong breathed a sigh of relief, and found that Gu Xiaotian's meridians were not smooth, as if he was injured, so he asked.
Then I learned that although Gu Xiaotian was not worried about his life, he was forbidden to Yuanwu and blocked his internal force. Xiang Yuanwu is known as the Southern Sage, and he is actually one of the few unparalleled masters in the rivers and lakes.
The ban he set up, I was afraid that even if the Dugu Sword God came, it would take some effort to solve it. Zilong also frowned when he heard this, so he had to say that he would let Gu Xiaotian and Ouyang Jin worship first, and then return to the camp to lift the ban for Gu Xiaotian.
Gu Xiaotian was not in a hurry to recover his martial arts at this time, so he naturally had nothing to do, so he went with Ouyang Jin to worship for King An, Duan Heng and other sacrifices.
During this period, Zilong also explained the next plan of the rebel army, and after getting the approval of the two, he waited for the worship to be completed, returned to the camp together, and lifted the ban for Gu Xiaotian in retreat.
For a time, because of the chaos of the Sun and Moon God Cult, the rebel army was facing the final decision, and the two banks of the Yellow River began the final performance under the tacit understanding of the high-level.
On this side, when the imperial army wanted to cooperate with the uprising coalition army and perform a good show for the imperial court in the capital, several good performances were also staged in the imperial palace thousands of miles away.
It turned out that after Liu Jin came back, he found that although his reform had been passed, his resolution in the cabinet could still be passed without wanting to.
For example, he asked to remove Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong now, and replace them with his henchmen. However, the ministers of the cabinet, under the leadership of Yang Tinghe, unanimously changed the generals in the battle for an unknown position, and Yang Yiqing blocked the rebel army along the Yellow River at this time, which was considered a meritorious reason and was not removed.
Liu Jin wanted to force the resolution with his large number of henchmen. Unexpectedly, even Gao Feng, whom he usually relies on, and Qiu Ju, who looks down on him very much, are silent and obviously do not support themselves.
With the two of them taking the lead, Liu Jin's subordinates were divided into two, half supporting, and half not expressing their position. In this way, in the cabinet, those who support Liu Jin have become a minority.
Although he was angry at Gao Feng and Qiu Ju's sudden defection, Liu Jin had no choice for a while. After all, in terms of position, Gao Feng and Qiu Ju are only as bad as themselves, and in the emperor's place, the difference between relatives and alienation is even more similar.
Now that even the emperor seems to be suspicious of Liu Jin, although Liu Jin wants to pass the resolution, he has no choice but to do it.
After trying hard several times, and even wanting to have a face-to-face interview with Gao Feng, Liu Jin had no choice but to enter the palace and come to Cining Palace to pray for the help of Empress Dowager Zhang.
The guards outside Cining Palace are naturally Cao Qiuhai. After he heard Liu Jin's intentions, he found that Liu Jin's arrogance was no longer as arrogant as before, and he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart.
There was no verbosity at the moment, so Liu Jin waited for a while, and then passed on the news for Liu Jin to go in. Empress Dowager Zhang heard Liu Jin's request to see her, but she did not deliberately embarrass her, so she ordered Cao Qiuhai to pass Liu Jin into the side hall for a detailed discussion.
