Volume 15 Chapter 74 Mother
The great barbarian masters of the nine tribes and the new barbarian king Ba Dan were all gathered together and were about to follow Hong Yu to Wudu to bow down to the Great Xia Emperor.
Lookout prepared the most precious gifts of the mountain barbarians, some of the beast teeth of the wild beasts, the beautiful jade in the mountains, the dog's head gold in the river, etc., which were presented to Emperor Wuzong when the time came.
The symbolism of these gifts is far greater than the actual value, and Hong Yu is not greedy.
He asked Xiao Mu to scavenge the treasures of the new nine tribes, and sure enough, he got a large number of precious medicinal materials and minerals, and Hong Yu did not take their things in vain, everything was purchased according to fifty percent of the market price, converted into silver, and then he would buy various daily necessities outside the mountain and transport them in.
When Hong Yu left, he left ten desolate beast knights to guard the Qiong God Domain, and there were ten desolate beast knights in the mountain barbarians. About three days after they left, the first batch of necessities entered the mountain barbarian tribe under the escort of the ten beast knights.
The white rice, fragrant grease, exquisite iron pots, tempting black tea, and various farm tools and furniture make the mountain barbarians ecstatic. Most of them were suppressed by force before, but now they really feel that there are so many benefits from abandoning their hatred and surrendering to Great Xia.
On the way, Hong Yin was a little worried: "Young master, is there too little Liliang left behind?" In case there is any movement over there in Chu Yue, I'm afraid it will ......."
Hong Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Yin, I wish they had any movement, those who dare to touch me will give me a chance to go to war."
The ten desolate beast knights in the Qiong God Domain don't have to worry, but the ten desolate beast knights in the mountain barbarian are very dangerous. They were actually a decoy, and Chu Yue would never tolerate the mountain barbarians being subsumed into Great Xia, which would push the battle line between the two countries directly to Chu Yue's border.
Although the relationship between the two countries has always been good, there are only interests between countries, and any traditional friendship is everlasting.
Hong Yu tossed Guan Xinghe for a while, it doesn't mean that he will "let go" of Chu Yue like this, if Chu Yue is honest, if Chu Yue dares to stir up trouble, he doesn't mind taking the Desolate Beast Cavalry Regiment and killing all the way to Chu Yue's capital.
He secretly equipped the ten desolate beast knights with ten small heavenly thunders, which were produced by the Xuanbing workshop in the past few days in the mountain barbarian tribe.
Originally, Xiao Tianlei could only produce one a day, but after Hong Yu got the core of martial arts, he had a little experience in the Xuanbing workshop, and used the materials at hand to make some transformations, and he could produce three pieces a day.
But this transformation is limited to the production of Xiao Tianlei, if it is a Xuanbing, it will still take a day for the Nine Rank Xuanbing.
The desolate beast knights who followed Young Master Yu to the Qiong God Domain already had a Xuan soldier in their hands, which made those who stayed in the mountain barbarian very hot, and muttered in front of Young Master Yu all day long, fortunately, it was a long way to return to Wudu, and a Xuan soldier every day, and more than 20 pieces were produced, and the entire Desolate Beast Cavalry Regiment had already eighty percent of the knights assigned Xuan soldiers.
Shanman completely surrendered, the news had already been transmitted back to Wudu in advance, Hong Yu's team arrived at the south gate of Wudu, and the officials of the imperial court had prepared a grand welcoming ceremony.
Emperor Wuzong was extremely entangled, just like the previous times, on the one hand, he hoped that his courtiers could open up the territory for him to leave a name for the ages, but on the other hand, he didn't want this courtier to be the Hong family.
The emperor simply couldn't see it, and let the eldest prince go out of the city to greet him, and he hid in the imperial city and continued to think about how to suppress the Hong family.
Compared with the exploits of the northern resistance to Dirong, the Shanban in Nanping is much darker, so there are not many people who go out of the city to greet them, and these ordinary people don't know that the Shanban is not easier to deal with than Dirong at all.
However, the officials of the imperial court were skeptical: Impossible, the Shanman, who had plagued Daxia for thousands of years, was solved in this way? Hong Yu had only been there for a few months? He was not a god, and the Shanman's thorny problem was so easily settled?
The eldest prince has been sending Hong Yu back to Hongfu, and then made an appointment to go to the court tomorrow morning, and Hong Yu took ten people from the mountains to face the saint.
When she arrived at home, her grandmother naturally smiled happily and praised her grandson. Grandpa Hong Shengri wanted to pick a thorn in his grandson's victory, but he really couldn't find it. I had to laugh with my grandmother.
The next morning-this is Hong Yu's first morning court, and he was dragged up from the bed by his grandfather on the third watch.
Outside the gate of the imperial city, Hong Yu was followed by ten mountain barbarians, and happened to meet He who followed his father to the court
He Chong's face was calm, he had been in pain all night last night, just to be able to face Hong Yu calmly today.
But just because he's calm doesn't mean that others are calm too. Before the two got together, the surrounding discussions were like ants gnawing people's hearts: "Now the father and son of the He family are going to be embarrassed." ”
"Originally, He Chong was still complacent because of the military exploits of the mountain barbarians, but now?
"He spent half a year, worked hard, spent a lot of money and food, and just stopped the mountain barbarians, but Hong Yu completely conquered the mountain barbarians in the past few months, and he didn't even spend a penny on the court."
"Originally, I thought that He Chong was a talent, but there really can't be a comparison, a comparison, a beautiful jade and a stubborn stone. ”
The green tendons on He Chong's forehead have begun to beat, but Hong Yu still refuses to let him go, when the two approached, Hong Yu twitched his nose indifferently, and pouted: "Sesame mung beans are a big thing, Bixia has to hold a ceremony on the Golden Palace with great fanfare, the mountain is just a barbarian, and the matter of destroying it casually, hey, isn't this General He Chong, do you still have any barbarians who can't be defeated, I will help you solve it." ”
He Chongzhong waved his sleeves: "Hmph" brushed his sleeves away.
Hong Yu is so cool, how could he let go of He Chong easily, and quickly chased after him: "General He Chong, General He Chong, don't be embarrassed, you and I are ministers of the same court, if there are any difficulties, I will help you solve them." I heard that your brother is inhumane, is it because of your family inheritance, I am also very accomplished in Dan Dao, if you have something unspeakable, you can also tell me. But if it's a family inheritance, it's hard to say whether you and your brother are of the same species......"
The surrounding people were uproaring, and Hong Yu took a bite of "General He Chong" and slapped He Chong in the face one by one. Hong Yu is a gentleman, he doesn't give up, and he even scolds He Chang.
He Yong can't be humane, who doesn't know that it was given by Young Master Yu? But he still has to sprinkle salt on other people's wounds
He Chang trembled angrily: "Bastard is an imperial city here, how can you be so vulgar and rampant."
Hong Yu rolled his eyes: "Lao Tzu, what can you do to me like this?"
"You" He is often angry, he is usually most complacent is that he is not happy and angry, but today he was scolded by Hong Yu in front of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu bloody head, even he couldn't bear it anymore.
Hong Shengri stretched out his big hand and stopped He Chang: "The surname He, what is wrong with what my grandson said? He is kind enough to help you and your He family, don't you want to bite Lu Dongbin and don't know the hearts of good people, okay? I see that there is also a problem with the bloodline inheritance of your He family, and your two sons just don't look like you." If you're not convinced, come and fight me."
He Chang trembled angrily: "Hong Shengri, you deceive people too much"
Old man Hong crossed his waist: "My old man is like this, I still say that, you are not convinced, come with me to fight in the Praetorian Guard Academy"
"Vulgar and vulgar, grandchildren are all virtuous" Of course He Chang didn't dare to do it, Old Man Hong was a good match, he was looking for death
Hong Shengri smiled: "Sure enough, like your second boy, he is a guy with no eggs, my grandson is not wrong at all"
"You" He Chang was scolded by him speechless, and the people around him were coaxing.
Hong Yu is beautiful, grandpa does pick his nose and eyes at home all day long, but he is an absolute calf protector outside.
"Up-to-to--"
Father-in-law Dai sang sharply why he often broke the siege, and everyone hurriedly stood up in line and walked quickly to the court.
The next thing is to follow the step-by-step process, the court accepted the submission of the mountain barbarians, accepted the gifts, and also gave various rewards, Xiao Mu secretly smiled, the reward returned by Emperor Wuzong was several times more valuable than the gift he offered.
And then there is the reward for Hong Yu. When Hong Yu originally chose the fief, he wanted to occupy the mountains around the Chijin River, but after the eldest prince reported to Emperor Wuzong, the emperor was unwilling to give it to him, and he kept dragging it out, so this time he simply gave it to Hong Yu as a reward.
For such a huge achievement as the complete conquest of the mountain barbarians, such a stingy reward made the ministers complain.
However, Hong Yu didn't care at all, he knew that the Hong family and the royal family would have a battle sooner or later, and of course he wouldn't have any illusions that the emperor would give him a lot of rewards now.
At the end of the early dynasty, Hong Yu sent Ba Dan and them to the post house, and the court would naturally arrange someone to accompany them to play in Wudu City for a few days, and then they would specially engrave the seal of the mountain barbarian king and let Ba Dan take it back together.
Hong Yu doesn't have to worry about these things.
After he returned to Hongfu, he explained to his family and immediately went into retreat.
Entering his own demigod domain, Hong Yu took out the Ice Heart Zilan, and then there were nearly a hundred other medicinal materials, most of which were available before Hong Yu, and only a dozen were found from the Qiong God Domain.
As soon as he raised his hand, the dragon fire spewed out by the dragon soul fell into the crater, and the flames were raging, and he began to retreat into alchemy
This time the alchemy was extremely difficult, even with the pseudo-heaven and earth oven of the demigod domain, the dragon fire, the formation, and Hong Yu's dragon sucking jade technique, he was also tired and sweaty, and his eyes were staring at the flames, not daring to relax in the slightest.
For three whole days, Hong Yu didn't sleep, and he didn't even leave the flames for a moment, and finally the entire demigod domain shook with a bang, and a pale golden flame erupted from the crater, and in the flames, a spirit pill landed and was caught by Hong Yu.
The elixir looks inconspicuous, ordinary black and brown, and there is no tangy aroma, but it took a lot of effort from Hong Yu.
He glanced at the elixir, and suddenly felt that a pair of eyes were in unbearable pain, and tears flowed for a long time. He put away the elixir and immediately came out of the demigod realm, fell asleep on the bed.
I slept soundly until the evening.
Hearing the movement in the house, the Hundred Days Fire Ape guarding the door swooped in. Hong Yu now dares to walk sideways in Wudu Cheng, even if he meets He Chang's father and son, he will spray them with foam, just because of the protection of the Hundred Days Fire Ape.
Hong Shen Hongyin couldn't enter the imperial city, but the hundred-day fire ape stuffed it into his sleeve, going wherever he wanted.
Zhuang Han's voice sounded outside: "Young Master, are you awake?" I left you dinner, do you want to eat some."
As soon as she said this, Hong Yu's stomach gurgled and screamed.
After a brief wash, Hong Yu gobbled up dinner, wiped his mouth and got up to go out. He walked all the way to the eldest brother's residence and knocked on the door: "Big brother, come out, I have something very important to look for you." ”
Hong Lie came out while getting dressed, and when he saw that his brother's eyes were a little wrong, Hong Lie scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy hasn't gotten married yet, why do you spend so much time?"
Hong Yu dragged him out and asked casually, "How is it, has the wedding date between you and Song Youran been set?"
"Grandma has to wait for you to be there, and the whole family will come forward. ”
Hong Yu scratched his head: "She and her grandfather can't really control the scene?"
Hong Lie sighed in a low voice: "Grandma doesn't just want to reunite the family more?" my father is not at home, and the second uncle and sister-in-law have all passed away, leaving only the four of us, alas...... By the way, what the hell are you looking for me?"
"Father's business, I should be able to detoxify his old man......" Before he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the eldest brother fiercely: "Are you serious?"
Hong Lie turned around and was about to leave: "I'll go and inform my grandparents ......"
"Don't go yet, I'm not 100% sure, if you succeed, give them a surprise. ”
Hong Lie thought about it: "Okay, let's go first." ”
The small Taoist temple outside the city is still so lonely and deserted, even now that Wudu City has entered the summer, the nights are unbearably hot.
Hong Yu and his eldest brother got out of the car and stepped forward to knock on the door.
Hong Chengye opened the door and saw that it was them, it was no surprise, this small Taoist temple had no incense, and there would be no one else except his family when he came to visit late at night.
Although his father practiced penance here and was isolated from the world, when he saw his two sons coming, a trace of warmth flashed in Gujing Wubo's eyes.
After the two met, they entered the courtyard, and Hong Chengye said lightly: "Come with me to sit in the hall and sit ......"
"Father, no, go to the ashram where you usually meditate. Hong Lie was a little excited, and his voice trembled: "The second child has already refined the anti-poison elixir." You, you're going to be free."
Hong Chengye glanced at Hong Yu with some surprise, Hong Yu nodded, but his father didn't have too many surprises, and said with a faint smile: "Detoxification is only detoxification, and it is impossible to talk about any liberation." ”
Hong Lie had to say it again, but he was pulled by Hong Yu.
"Then let's detoxify first. ”
There is a small quiet room in the southeast corner of the small Taoist temple, Hong Chengye walked over with the two brothers, and when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly changed his mind: "Let's go to my bedroom." ”
Hong Lie didn't think much about it, but Hong Yu took a step forward and pushed the door open.
The quiet room is very simple, with white plaster painted walls and a futon on the ground. There was nothing else, not even an oil lamp.
But both brothers are martial artists and have excellent eyesight. The faint light from the outside could still be seen clearly, and the quiet room was covered with finger marks several inches deep from the floor to the walls
Hong Lie was like a thunderbolt, looking at the scene in the room blankly, he could already imagine that his father endured the painful torture every day because of poisoning, and cut a quiet room with his fingers like this
Hong Lie's eyes suddenly turned blood-red: "Dad, who made you like this......
Hong Yu's eyes were also moist, and he could imagine how painful it would be for his father, an usually quiet and peaceful person, to collapse to the point that he had to scratch the ground and pick the wall with his fingers
But my father was still indifferent: "It's not because of the toxins in the body......"
"Is that weishenme?" Hong Lie blurted out, but Hong Chengye didn't answer anymore and turned around and walked to his bedroom. Hong Lie caught up and wanted to ask again, Hong Yu grabbed him behind his back, and sighed softly: "Big brother, don't you understand? ”
Hong Lie was stunned, thinking of the reason why his father lived in seclusion here and made everyone in the family secret.
He didn't say anything more, and with the resentment in his heart, he followed his second brother's father into the bedroom together.
Hong Yu took out the elixir, this elixir was very hard to refine, because the poison in his father was long and stubborn, and it had been entrenched in his father's body for many years, and it was very difficult to dissolve.
"After you take it, try to use your martial energy to boost the power of the medicine. ”
Hong Chengye didn't seem to have much hope, nodded lightly, and took it to eat.
The strange poison he was in, the entire Great Xia Danshi had seen it, and everyone was helpless, although Hong Lie said last time that his second son was extraordinary, but he didn't see it with his own eyes after all, so he naturally lacked confidence. He accepted the children's kindness, but he just didn't want to disappoint them.
However, the entrance of the elixir immediately turned into a pure medicinal power, from his throat all the way to Xiangxia, all the way to the beginning of the medicinal effect, constantly expanding to the surroundings.
Over the years, the palm print has been imprinted under his shoulder, but the toxin has already spread throughout his body, even deep into the bone marrow
Such a toxin, according to some Dan Dao common sense that Hong Chengye knew, was basically incurable
But the second elixir is not overbearing but the medicinal effect is surging, just like the sea water at high tide, wave after wave, constantly washing his body, the toxins in the blood and muscles are washed away first, then the stubborn toxins in the meridians and tendons, and then the internal organs, zuihou is the bone marrow
When the power of the medicine begins to wash away the bone marrow, the real battle begins
That kind of strange poison is very stubborn, Hong Yu's elixir medicine is difficult to remove even if he is rebrushed dozens of times, Hong Chengye is actually very surprised at this time, the elixir refined by his son can have such an effect, even if he is dead, it is enough to be relieved. If it weren't for the fact that there was no zuihou over that matter, he would have been able to look at it even if he was dead now
But what surprised him even more was still to come.
Dozens of heavy medicinal forces failed to wash out, and Hong Chengye thought that this was the end. The toxicity in the bone marrow already had a tendency to counterattack, but immediately after, hundreds of medicinal powers suddenly surged up in his body, and he rushed towards the toxicity even more frantically
The poison in the bone marrow was extinguished on the spot, and there was not even a trace of the power to fight back.
Then, wave after wave, all the medicinal power rushed towards the palm print under his shoulder
Under the struggle of hundreds of medicinal powers, the palm prints did not move.
Before Hong Chengye had time to think about anything, thousands of medicinal powers roared up, slapping on the palm prints wave after wave.
The purple-red palm prints soon began to fade and fade away. And the huge wave of medicinal power in his body finally slowly subsided.
Hong Chengye's eyelashes moved, and he slowly opened his eyes, and the whole shijie seemed to be a little different in his eyes. The strange poison that has plagued him for many years has really been dissolved
Hong Lie was concerned and asked nervously, "Father, how is it?"
Hong Chengye smiled slightly and looked at Hong Yu: "Second child, you are really a good boy"
Hong Lie and Hong Yu breathed a sigh of relief together.
Hong Chengye took off his clothes, although the skin on his back was still a little pale, but the shocking palm print had completely disappeared.
Hong Lie clenched his fists fiercely and waved hard, the excitement in his chest could not be suppressed, and he looked up to the sky and roared
Seeing his son so emotional, Hong Chengye's eyes were also a little moist, and he felt for the first time that he had left his two children and hid alone in this small Taoist temple to do penance, and he was a little sorry for the children.
Hong Yu is very confident in his Dan Dao attainments, but when it comes to his father, it is inevitable that there will be some gains and losses. Now that he saw that the toxicity was really gone, he was also relieved.
But unlike his brother, he sat down face to face with his father and looked him in the eyes: "Dad, I want to know what happened back then."
Hong Chengye was slightly stunned, Hong Lie also quieted down, thought about it, sat down beside his younger brother, and silently expressed his support.
Hong Chengye sighed and shook his head slightly, as if he didn't want to say anything.
Hong Yu gritted his teeth and said slowly but firmly: "I want to know what happened back then, who injured you and where is my mother now."
Hong Chengye was shocked, and a strong look of pain appeared on his face, which had always been calm, although he tried his best to suppress it, his shoulders were still trembling slightly, and his fists were clenched.
Hong Yu knew that he guessed correctly: "What happened back then had something to do with my mother, right?"
Hong Chengye gritted his teeth, as if he was suffering some kind of intense pain, even more intense than the previous toxin
Hong Yu said again: "No matter who the opponent is, please believe that I have enough ability to recover this blood debt from them."
Hong Chengye glanced at him deeply: "With your Dan Dao attainments, you are indeed qualified to know now."
He was silent for a moment, calmed his emotions for a moment, and finally spoke, "Okay, I'll tell you." ”
"At the age of nine, I established the status of the first day of the new generation of Wudu, and since then, in the entire Wudu City, except for your uncle and sister-in-law, there is no one who is my opponent at all.
At the age of eleven, I was already a five-rank yuanding, and at the age of eighteen, the cultivation of the three-rank manifestation saint martial arts seemed to me to have no bottleneck at all, only breakthroughs, breakthroughs, breakthroughs—breakthroughs without any obstacles along the way.
Every time my father told me about the next threshold of martial arts practice, reminding me of the various difficulties to pay attention to, but every time it came to an end, I didn't feel that there was anything difficult. ”
