Peerless ruthless man, cut down the world

Chapter 297

Yunzhou, Tianyu Pass.

As the center of the Yunzhou battlefield, after nearly three years of war, Tianyuguan has become lifeless from the number one pass in Yunzhou, and the mottled city walls have become a little reddish, full of lifelessness.

When the wind blows outside the city, one can always faintly see white bones looming from time to time. When the wind blows up at night, it howls and screams, and I don't know how many dead souls are crying.

On the city wall, torches stand.

Teams of patrolling soldiers who came and went could not see the slightest expression on their faces, only indifference and bewilderment.

And the city was as deserted as a dead city.

In the camp of the Chinese army,

Chengyang Hou Linghao was standing in front of a map.

His armor was stained with blood, his hair was a little messy, with faint strands of white hair mixed in between, and his dark face was very rough.

"Yunxi, Gu Zhan, Qin You!"

Ling Hao sighed softly, turned around and sat down.

There was a piece of information on the table in front of him, and the word Gu Zhan came into view.

Ling Hao looked at those two words in a daze, and was in a daze for a while.

He remembered the first time he heard the name,

Still in the winter of the fifth year of Qingli,

At that time, what he heard was that a little person who didn't know good and evil dared to kill his son, it was just a little person who he could crush to death casually and didn't care at all.

However, since last year,
The name kept coming to his ears,

By this time, he had become the number one master in the world.

"What kind of inheritance did this kid get? He should have killed it recklessly in the first place. I didn't expect that a single thought would lead to such troubles!"

Ling Hao looked at the information and frowned.

At this moment, an old man in a brown robe appeared in the tent, and said with a light smile, "Master Hou, don't you think this son has created a golden opportunity for you?"

Ling Hao looked up at the old man, and said coldly: "Your White Lotus Sect is really getting more and more presumptuous. This is the camp of the three armies. How dare you show up so grandly!"

This old man is Xu Qingping, one of the Four Great Protectors of the White Lotus Sect, East Protector Xu Qingping. He has a good reputation in the world, and he is a great master who has been famous for many years.

Xu Qingping smiled lightly, cupped his hands and said: "Master Hou, you have received the information, Qin You has secretly led the elite of Qin Tianjian to Yunxi, and now in Yundong, any disturbance is under your control , what are you worried about?"

Ling Hao said in a deep voice: "Qin You is not a simple old man, don't underestimate him."

"Don't worry, Lord Hou," Xu Qingping said softly, "The turmoil in Yunxi is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Qin Tianjian. Qin You can't refuse it. We have received the exact news over there. Qin You and Yang Ge He brought over a dozen grand masters first, and after Gu Zhan shocked the world, Qin You directly mobilized [-]% of Qin Tianjian's elite to rush over, and now he is happy!"

Ling Hao took a deep breath and said, "We still need to be more vigilant."

"Lord Hou," Xu Qingping cupped his hands and said, "I, the White Lotus Sect, have been fighting with you for nearly three years in order to cooperate with you in concealing the truth from the Qin Tianjian and the imperial court. Now that the opportunity has come, you can't hesitate. , once the opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to come back.

Lord Hou, this kind of opportunity is really rare. Who would have thought that Gu Zhan could be so powerful? Qin You was also caught off guard. Otherwise, he would not have transferred people in such a hurry. Now, it is Yun The state is at its emptiest.

You only need to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Liuhou and instigate a mutiny, and you will be able to openly join forces with our White Lotus Sect and take Yunzhou quickly. On the other side of Qingzhou and Liangzhou, there are Dugu Clan and Ling With the help of your family, you will be able to sweep the land of the three states in at most three months, Lord Hou, it is uncertain at this time, when will it be? "

Ling Hao frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "Go back and inform your heavenly daughters first, get ready, and when you will act, I will inform you when the time comes."

Xu Qingping didn't say much, but cupped his hands and said, "I will take my leave!"

Wait until Xu Qingping leaves.

A scribe came out from behind the screen, and said with a light smile, "Master Hou, although the White Lotus Sect has always had no rules and is very impatient, this time, as they said, it is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Ling Hao whispered: "Have you checked everything?"

The scribe nodded and said, "There is no problem. Qin You has always been on guard against you, Lord Hou. However, the turmoil in Yunxi this time was indeed caught off guard. Qin You was a little out of order."

"Where's Yang Yunzhi?" Ling Hao asked.

"Still in Linjiang City," the scribe said, "Yunxi has always been Qin Tianjian's heart disease, and the White Lotus Sect has been unable to win for a long time, and Qin You has always wanted to restrict the White Lotus Sect through Yunxi, so this time, he It is inevitable, Qin Tianjian did not move on the surface, but secretly mobilized most of the elite."

Ling Hao said in a low voice: "This time, it is indeed our best chance, and it is also our last chance. The imperial court has already begun to mobilize troops, and now it has given Gu Zhan the status of the general of the Zhuzi Town Army. Once the West is calmed down, it will inevitably raise troops to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect."

The scribe nodded and said: "That's true, we still have to act now, but we are [-]% sure of what we will do now."

"How about Qingzhou and Liangzhou?" Ling Hao asked.

"It's already been prepared," said the scribe, "the Dugu faction in Liangzhou has controlled the king of Yongchang County, and in Qingzhou, Mu Lingxu'an of Qingzhou has secretly controlled the government of Qingzhou, and the military has also been dispersed. Just wait for Hou Ye to act on your side, and they will respond immediately, just like what Xu Qingping said, as long as our side quickly controls Yunzhou, the other two states can be leveled in at most three months!"

Ling Hao pondered for a while, and said, "One more test at the end."

"How?" Scribe asked puzzled.

"Liu Hou," Ling Hao said coldly, "Let the White Lotus Sect take action. If there is no fraud, Liu Hou will surely die. If Liu Hou escapes, it means there is fraud. Stop all actions immediately!"

The scribe thought for a while and said, "Master Hou is more thoughtful."

……

Yunxi is in constant turmoil.

The Battle of Yucheng shocked the world and attracted countless attentions. During this period of time, there were many more people from the rivers and lakes in the land of Yunxi, and top forces from all over the country of Xia came quietly.

They all came for Gu Zhan.

On the surface, all the top forces deny that Gu Zhan has become a land god, but in the dark, they are speculating that Gu Zhan may have mastered a new method of cultivation. Similarly, some people want to find out whether Gu Zhan has obtained What inheritance.

Gu Zhan's background experience,
After the Battle of Yucheng, all forces immediately investigated the bottom of the sky. Without exception, they could only find out that Gu Zhan was an ordinary person who did not know martial arts before the fourth year of Qingli. One day, his temperament suddenly changed, from an ordinary person who didn't know martial arts to a decisive genius, and the speed of his rise was unbelievable.

Now all the forces coming to Yunxi have two purposes, one is to find out whether Gu Zhan has really mastered the new practice method, and the other is to find out the secret inheritance of Gu Zhan's rise.

Of course, these movements,
Naturally, he couldn't hide it from Gu Zhan, but Gu Zhan didn't have time to take care of these things. He was busy leading troops to grab the territory during this time.

Now, after his identities as Marquis Yun and General of the Zhenjun were exposed, he simply started to act in this capacity directly, drawing some people from the Beidou Gang to form an army, and then recruiting troops while expanding to all parts of Yunxi.

With Rong Yichu in charge of the internal affairs and Nangong Weiyang in charge of leading the troops, Gu Zhan doesn't need to think about too many things, just expand according to the established marching route.

As for the situation in Yunxi, as Rong Yichu expected, there was no obstacle at all. After the battle in Yucheng, all forces in Yunxi retreated to Sword King City one after another, and the reaction of Sword King City was not unexpected. Unexpectedly, the sphere of influence continued to shrink, and even began to close the mountain.

And now the situation is,

Mo Dao and Beidou gang robbed the territory, from two directions respectively, there is a tacit understanding and there is no conflict. Even if there is a little friction, Mo Dao decisively backs down and is very restrained. Beware of two tigers fighting and Jianwang City sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight Case.

However, in this turbulent turmoil,

Once again, a major event that shocked the world broke out in Yunzhou, which directly caused the world's attention to turn away from Yunxi in an instant.

Because compared to the turmoil in the rivers and lakes in Yunxi,

What happened in Yunzhou this time is the real national turmoil——

Linghao, Marquis of Chengyang, rebelled!
……

In Yiling City, Zhongwu Road, Yunxi, in a manor.

Gu Zhan, Rong Yichu and Nangong Weiyang were sitting and drinking tea.

Rong Yichu was fiddling with the small stove to make tea, and said with a light smile, "Although I already knew that the Marquis of Chengyang was going to rebel, I didn't expect it to be so fast, but if you think about it carefully, the reason why it's so fast is because the lord pushed me to rebel." It took a while."

Nangong Weiyang wondered: "Why do you say that?"

Rong Yichu scooped up a spoonful of tea for Gu Zhan and Nangong Weiyang, and said: "Because my lord's current status is the Marquis of Yun and the general of the town army, suppressing Yunxi now will inevitably form an army, no matter how strong the army is, If it is weak, it can detour from the Shiwanda Mountain to the north to pose a threat to the White Lotus Sect.

This is one, and the second is the battle of the lord Yucheng, which made Qin Tianjian come to Yunxi with more reputation and reason, and created the conditions for Ling Hao to rebel faster. Under the two, the process of Ling Hao's rebellion Naturally, it speeds up. "

Nangong Weiyang suddenly said: "So that's the case, but now that the Marquis of Chengyang is rebelling, isn't he afraid of being cast aside by the world, becoming a target of public criticism, and becoming a stepping stone for other interested people?"

Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said, "He's not stupid, so he definitely won't shout out the slogan of rebellion directly, but find a reasonable reason, for example, Qing Jun's side!"

"My lord is clever," Rong Yichu said with a light smile, "The information sent just now, the Marquis of Chengyang rebelled by shouting the slogan of Lord Qing."

Rong Yichu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Gu Zhan, saying: "This is the information that was just delivered, and it is about to be presented to you, my lord. I didn't expect you and General Nangong to come here first!"

Gu Zhan took the letter and said, "Tell me specifically."

Rong Yichu said: "Ling Hao killed Marquis Liu, and then forged a lot of accusations that Marquis Liu colluded with the ministers of the court to embezzle military pay, resell grain, grass and military equipment, etc., and then claimed that the White Lotus Sect was dedicated to the country and was persecuted by treacherous ministers in the court.
Anyway, they made a lot of excuses, accepted the army of the White Lotus Sect openly, and then shouted the slogan of the Qing emperor, and sent troops to the capital. Almost at the same time, people from Qingzhou and Liangzhou also responded. "

Gu Zhan looked at the information and handed it to Nangong Weiyang, saying: "It seems that the Ling family and the Dugu Clan have been preparing for a long time."

Rong Yichu nodded and said: "If there is no Yang Yunzhi's death plan, they will be able to control the three states of Yunliang and Qingzhou in at most three months. The Ling family and the Dugu Clan have been entrenched in Qingzhou and Liangzhou for hundreds of years. The truth is too simple."

Gu Zhan said in a deep voice: "It's no wonder that Yang Yunzhi wants to set up a bureau for the past few decades. For the court, the Dugu Clan and the Ling family are stuck in these two prefectures, and they can't do anything. We have nothing to do right now."

Rong Yichu smiled slightly and said: "They have already fallen into Yang Yunzhi's situation. I am afraid that they will be able to hear the news of Ling Hao's defeat in a short time. Although it is impossible to uproot them, they can basically make these two families fall apart and be controlled by the imperial court."

Nangong Weiyang frowned, and said: "Then, doesn't it mean that the imperial court is really likely to continue its luck? What is the situation of the lord?"

"It won't have any impact," Rong Yichu said with a light smile: "That's why I was determined to plan for the position of Marquis and General of the Town Army at the beginning. To pacify the three states, the court will not be easy. When the time comes, no matter what Whether it is out of stability of the people, or in order to resist the Southern Jin and Northern Wei, they will reuse the lord.

In addition, the imperial court also needs to set a benchmark for the rivers and lakes. The identity of the lord is just right. The rivers and lakes in the three prefectures of Yunliang and Qing are not weak, and they have calmed down the three prefectures. The world can also appease the rivers and lakes. "

Nangong Weiyang suddenly said: "Mr. Rong is brilliant."

Rong Yichu smiled, and said: "Next, we need to rely on General Nangong to govern the army. General Nangong is an expert in this regard, and Yichu will do chores for you."

Nangong Weiyang hastily clasped his hands and said: "Mr. Rong was joking, you have missed everything, and I hope that you will not hesitate to teach me and give more pointers to Nangong in the future."

Gu Zhan smiled and said, "Stop flattering each other, let's see what we should do next!"

Rong Yichu took a sip of tea and said, "It depends on what your plan is, my lord. Do you want to take Yunxi directly, or take it step by step?"

"How?" Gu Zhan asked.

Rong Yichu put down his teacup slowly, and said: "One step at a time, then we need to maintain a three-point Yunxi state. The advantage is that there is a lot of buffer time to accumulate background, and it will not be too ostentatious, and it is safe. The disadvantage Naturally, it was obvious that the two beasts of the Demonic Dao in Sword King City were staring at each other.

It is very risky to take Yunxi directly. We need to deal directly with the land gods. It is easy to make mistakes. However, the benefits are obvious. Accumulate a strong background, and at the same time, after the three states are pacified, they can have greater autonomy. "

Gu Zhan smiled lightly, and said, "I really want to try what it's like to kill a land god!"

Rong Yichu cupped his hands and said, "The student understands."

After finishing speaking, Rong Yichu looked at Nangong Weiyang, and said softly: "General Nangong, gather your troops and build an invincible city here. We wait for the old celestial master to come and die!"

……

Yiling City, in a courtyard.

Qin You was standing quietly in a room alone. He raised his head and looked at the peach branches out of the window, sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Liu Hou, take a good journey, I will definitely Let the people in the world know your sacrifice and achievements, and you can rest assured that I will definitely assist His Majesty in creating a truly prosperous world, and the appearance of the world will definitely be as you wish."

There was only a long sigh left in the empty room.

a long time,

Someone opened the door and came in. It was Zheng Yangge, the deputy supervisor of Qin Tianjian. He cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, I'm ready. You can go back to Yunzhou!"

Qin You turned around slowly, nodded, and said, "Did you tell Gu Zhan?"

"I have already said," Yang Ge said, "Master Gu knows the inside story, and he also said that after we leave, he will build an army as soon as possible. Run away in this direction."

Qin You pondered for a while, then said: "With Gu Zhan's strength, he sits in Yunxi and indeed blocks this road, but I don't know how he planned it. In the current situation in Yunxi, three points are for him. It's the safest."

Yang Ge frowned, and said: "It's Gu Houye's personality, it's hard to say, he always does things that are not in line with common sense."

Qin You frowned and said: "This son is an unstable factor, but it doesn't matter for the time being, and we will make plans after the matter in Yunzhou is over."

After finishing speaking, Qin You strode out.

Yang Ge followed closely behind. When he walked out of the door, Yang Ge suddenly asked: "Teacher, Liuhou, he..."

"He is the last link in the plan for the dead," Qin You said in a low voice, "This is also what he asked for on his own initiative!"

"Marquis Liu... be remembered by the world as a name left in history!"

……

Yunzhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, the land of the three states was full of smoke, and the world was shaken. For a while, the flames of war swept across the land of the three states.

However, it seems a little strange that the land of Yunxi, which is located in Yunzhou, has not been greatly affected. However, Yunxi has not been affected by the flames of war, but it does not mean that Yunxi is very peaceful.

Relatively speaking, Yunxi is more chaotic than Yundong, and the chaos started earlier.

Yunxi has been in turmoil since the first battle in Yucheng. It is close to closing the mountain.

until early April,
The Beidou Gang and the Holy Church of Worshiping the Moon tacitly stopped their actions, because, apart from the Changping Road where the Sword King City is located, the Eight Paths of Yunxi have been divided up by the Holy Cult of the Moon Worshiping and the Big Dipper Gang.

The Big Dipper Gang monopolizes half of Yunxi, and the Holy Moon Worship Sect occupies the land of the three realms. For a while, it fell into a strange calm.

As the saying goes, when the world is full of beauty in April, the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom.

The peach blossoms in Jianwang Mountain have just begun to bloom in April, but there are relatively few peach blossoms on Jianwang Mountain. Among the mountains, there are only faint pink dots.

morning bell rings,

The disciples of Sword King City started their morning class.

However, compared to the hustle and bustle of the Sword King City in the past, the current Sword King City seems a little lifeless, and all the disciples in the sect are listless.

Today's Sword King City feels a bit like the sun is declining.

In a great hall,

The white-haired Qi Jia was lying on the bed like a gossamer.

In the Battle of Yucheng, she was seriously injured by Gu Zhan. Later, thanks to the help of Jin Yuanbao, the owner of Yaowang Valley Shaogu and the current owner of Medicine King Valley, Jin Yuanbao, she escaped back to Jianwang City without any danger along the way. However, the injury was too serious. Even if her cultivation has reached the peak of the master, she still cannot recover. If it weren't for the genius doctors of Yaowang Valley who have been sparing no effort to treat him, she would not be alive now.

"Master." Qi Jia looked at the old master standing by the bed, and said softly, "I'm dying, but I really can't let go of Sword King City..."

The old heavenly master looked at Qi Jia and said, "I know what you think, but it was never time for me to go down the mountain before. Now, it's time for me to go down the mountain!"

There was a trace of fear in Qi Jia's pupils, which were covered with bloodshot eyes, and said: "Master...Uncle Master...Listen to me."

Qi Jia held the old master's hand and said excitedly: "I don't want you to go down the mountain. Some time ago, when I just came back, I really wanted you to go down the mountain. That Gu Zhan must be our Yunxi Jianghu, It is the catastrophe of our Sword King City, so I want you to kill him,

However, these days, I have been having nightmares every day. As soon as I fell asleep, I would go back to that day. Uncle, you didn’t see... Gu Zhan... Gu Zhan is really scary, I don’t know why in this world There is such a terrifying person, if there really is a purgatory in this world, then... then it must be Gu Zhan...

Uncle, let's go with Sword King City, leave Yunxi, and guarantee the inheritance of Sword King City, that Gu Zhan is too evil, he... Will he really lose?I... I... Uncle, let's go, take the Sword King City and go, Gu Zhan... Gu Zhan will not be defeated, I really can't imagine anyone in this world who can kill him..."

The old heavenly master slowly stretched out his hand, stroked Qi Jia's forehead lightly, and said: "Fool, Gu Zhan has become your demon, there is no invincible person in this world, and there will be no invincible person." people."

While talking, the old Tianshi released a very peaceful energy in his hand, and he said softly: "Sleep well, you won't have nightmares anymore."

Qi Jia slowly closed his eyes.

at this time,

In the room, there was a sudden turmoil in the air,
A figure slowly appeared, and in an instant, the room suddenly seemed to become gloomy, and that figure slowly revealed its true face, it was Wei Wuya, the head teacher of Sword King City.

Wei Wuya's appearance is very strange,

Half of the previously white hair turned back to black hair, and the old skin turned white and tender like a teenager, and a chill was permeating his body.

His face was pale, so pale that there was no trace of blood. After he appeared, he kept his eyes closed, holding a sword in his hand, and said softly: "You can go down the mountain, you go and suppress Gu Zhan, and I will kill Grandma Honghua, if you can't suppress Gu Zhan just hold him back, don't let him have a chance to support the Demonic Dao, I will help you after I destroy the Demonic Dao, this son has the status of the imperial court, he can't be killed directly, he will be abolished first, and then we will find a chance to get rid of it later."

The old heavenly master looked at Wei Wuya,
He could clearly feel Wei Wuya's strangeness, neither human nor demon.

He sighed and said, "How sure are you?"

"Must kill."

The old heavenly master looked back at Qi Jia and said, "Then, let's go down the mountain!"

In the next instant, the figures of both of them disappeared.

The room became very quiet,

Only Qi Jia, who had already fallen asleep, let out a faint breathing sound, and two tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes.
