when the wind and cloud cry

Chapter 172 The Fish Jumping in the Abyss (43)

"Li'er, stop!" Yuan Feili and his party had just left the Seven Star Building when they were stopped by Ouye Liuyun behind him.

Both Li Yunjing and Si Shengxuan knew that this junior was going to be scolded, and the first one didn't get angry just now, so it can be said that he was giving him face, so the two of them walked away wisely.

But Concubine Zichen stood there with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, waiting to see Yuan Feili's good show.

"Yesterday was your wedding night with your empress, where did you go?" Ouye Liuyun snorted coldly.

"Baby drank too much!" Yuan Fei said in awe.

"If you can't handle the matter entrusted to you by your empress, don't call me foster father in the future!" Ou Ye Liuyun was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, turned back with a cold face.

Yuan Feili secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the Great Emperor Jicheng Mansion is so deep, and his adoptive father is not against him, how will he live in the future!

Concubine Zichen Xuan who was on the side satirized: "On the night of the big wedding, it is shameless to leave your wife and go out to eat flowers and wine!"

"You..." Yuan Feili suppressed the anger in his heart, and said leisurely: "If I had known earlier, I should have gone to drink with the princess. In this way, I am not the only one who has no sense of shame!"

"What did you say!" Zichen Feixuan said angrily.

"There are a lot of princesses in this Daxuan. Don't misunderstand the princess. How can I dare to drink with the princess? I have to hug him when I'm drunk!"

Concubine Zichen's dishonorable affairs were exposed, she was so angry that she clenched her magic weapon tightly, and said coldly: "Say it again!"

Seeing that the girl was going to kill someone, Yuan Feili hurriedly put on a smile and said, "I'm just joking, why should the Princess take it seriously?"

"You look hideous!" Zichen Feixuan snorted softly, and walked away.

Yuan Fei shook his head and sighed softly, this woman is always ready to draw her sword, so it would be better not to offend her.

A group of people came to the tent of the Jingxie Sword Sect of the Shenzhou Alliance Army. Li Yunjing summoned 350 female imperial guards.

They were all disciples of the Jingxie Sword Sect two years ago, and the lowest cultivation level had reached the level of a fifth-level censor.

Back then, the Shocking Evil Sword Sect took them into the mountain gate, not because of their aptitude, but because they were the daughters of generals from various states, for this day.

"Many of your fathers are Chu Hengjun's subordinates. Now that Chu Hengjun is going to rebel, what should you do?" Li Yun asked everyone to do political mobilization.

A female royal said in a loud voice: "There are three things about unfilial people. Ah Yi obeys and traps relatives and unrighteousness. We must not only persuade our fathers, brothers and elders to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, but even kill relatives righteously!"

All the girls echoed: "That's right, committing chaos is going against the law. It's better to kill relatives righteously than to trap relatives in unrighteousness!"

Yuan Feili saw this situation, so Chu Hengjun still wants to rebel?

This is bound to end in failure.

Yuan Feili smiled wryly at Si Shengxuan: "Since the imperial court has made arrangements, what's the use of me as a military assassin?"

Si Shengxuan explained to him that there are four top priorities in the Military Machinery Pavilion, the first is to quell the civil strife in the state capital, the second is to store grain and grass, the third is to supervise the manufacture of ordnance, and the fourth is to collect ships to cross the army.

Suppressing Chu Hengjun's rebellion was only the first step. Not to mention collecting grain and supervising the construction of ordnance, the second step was to recruit ships to ferry the army.

According to the strategic layout of the Great Emperor Ji, it is only a stopgap measure to rely on the fortifications of Longcheng Pass to resist the million soldiers of the Demon King.

The Chiba Islands, which opened up the South China Sea, are the second battlefield, and the most important thing is to force the Demon Lord to divide his forces.

As the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and fast. If you want to transfer Daxuan's million-strong army to the South China Sea, it will take at least several months to travel by land, which is obviously unrealistic.

And along the way, even if the army does not fight, they still have to eat.

Not to mention the slow speed by land, even the consumption of food and grass along the way is unaffordable.

Therefore, the Great Emperor Ji is going to take the water route, and the army will be transported by boat from the wharf of Wuyin Lake. It only takes three days to go down the river and reach the Chiba Islands in the South China Sea.

However, in actual operation, there will still be problems, that is, there are not enough ships.

Two years ago, Daxuan's Black Flag Navy had more than [-] large and small warships, and recruiting some fishing boats would be enough to transport troops south.

But just two years ago, the two Lie families of the Black Flag Navy rebelled. Not only did they transfer 10,000+ Black Flag Navy to Poison Dragon Mountain, they even took away the warships of the Black Flag Navy.

If it’s just like this, it’s not a big deal. The foundry supervisors of the Ministry of Industry and Sishui Prefecture have not been idle in the past two years. A total of more than 300 warships have been built, and thousands of fishing boats are enough. The fishermen who were confiscated, as well as the soldiers who were crowded in the cramped cabin.

But the most deadly thing is that once the army goes south by boat, the brothers and sisters of this family will come out every now and then to get some air, and then they will call dozens of heroes to dig a few big holes in the bottom of your boat, or attack the fleet halfway. All the soldiers have to be buried in the belly of the fish, and the loss to the court will be immeasurable.

Speaking of this, Si Shengxuan smiled teasingly and said: "So, junior brother's first task is to solve the banditry in Dulong Mountain. It is best to use a handsome trick to get that row of war tassels to Zhaoan. Then this matter The battle was fought without bloodshed, and everyone shouted with joy?"

"I call your sister!" Yuan Fei said resentfully: "I think your imperial sister is avenging her personal revenge, she deliberately set me on fire!"

Si Shengxuan showed off the sword in his arms, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Senior brother, I will do the simple things. If the rebellion in Chuzhou goes smoothly, maybe my father will also grant me the title of king." Master, junior brother, it is easier said than done, take care!"

"The villain is successful, let me say goodbye!" Yuan Fei cupped his hands fiercely, immediately stepped on the black wind unicorn, and galloped away towards Sishui Prefecture.

With the habit of Lie Zhanying's cunning rabbit and three caves, the main hall must be hidden very secretly. If he ran directly to the Poison Dragon Mountain, he might not even see Lie Zhanying's Juyi Hall, and Yuan Feili would have been bitten to death by the poisonous snake first.

And to solve the banditry on the Dulong Mountain, he can't use the method of consoling, Lie Zhanying's fiery temper will definitely draw out his sword, and a Nine Heavens Flying Immortal will stab him.

But no matter what method is used, even if it is to capture Lie Zhanying alive, he must first meet him.

Yuan Feili now has the right to control the soldiers and horses of the local state capital, which naturally also includes the more than [-] black-flag sailors in the Navy Yamen of Sishui Prefecture.

However, this 'Black Flag Navy' was established in the last two years, and it is by no means as strong as the group of 'Black Flag Navy' on Poison Dragon Mountain.

Yuan Feili was planning to use the Black Banner Marine Division of Sishui Prefecture to pretend to suppress the bandits, as long as he could lure Lie Zhanying out, he would be able to subdue this rebellious rouge horse.

As he was galloping on his horse, Yuan Feili noticed that a fast horse was catching up behind him.

"Princess, what are you doing with me when you have nothing to do?" Yuan Feiru secretly thought in his heart that Princess Yaoyue was so haunted that she was afraid that it was Emperor Ji who asked her to spy on her again.

"Where is the chief of this county going, do you need to take care of it?" Zichen Feixuan raised her whip unceremoniously, and ran in front of Yuan Feili.In the Juyi Hall, the plaque of "Juyi Eight Directions" hangs high in front of the hall. There are thirteen chairs placed in two rows in the hall. The thirteen chiefs of the cottage sit randomly, most of them are thieves in the green forest.

Among them, there is a tiger-skin couch at the head. The former Princess Lingfeng and today's Shuiyaksha Deng Kuo are leaning on the couch. She is still wearing black armor and a navy-style black-feathered steel helmet. She has an oval face and cold eyebrows. , quite a heroine.

Now the imperial court is about to fight against the devil. Deng Kuo is eagerly waiting to see the excitement, but she does not expect that the Demon Moon Dynasty will send a messenger to pay homage to the mountain with the intention of being a good friend. This really surprises her. While the devil's messenger is still there, On the mountain road, they hurriedly found other leaders to discuss.

The leaders were also very astonished, and there were many discussions. Finally, Deng Kuo waved his hand and said, "Everyone, stop guessing and invite the messenger in!"

A man of medium build slowly walked in from outside the hall, with a smile on his face. He looked like a businessman rather than a messenger. He walked to the center of the hall with a humble attitude, bowed to Deng Kuo, and then He bowed to all the leaders one by one, and none of them fell, and he kept flattering him. He boasted that the soldiers in the cottage were like wolves and the generals were like tigers, and he even compared Deng Kui to a dragon in the water.

Li Shun, a native of Sishui County, the young master of Jinyutang, makes a living by dealing in jade wares, and is good at negotiating.

Deng Kui interrupted everyone's laughter, looked at the envoy, and asked: "Your envoy came to my Panlong Peak today, why should you explain it?"

Li Shundao: "Xiao Ke is ordered by the sage to come here to ask Chief Deng to jointly raise important events."

It is one thing to speculate just now, but it is another thing to hear it with your own ears. The Juyi Hall suddenly became lively again, and there were a lot of discussions.

Li Shun saw that everyone was a little stunned, and then said: "Xiao Ke has a gift prepared by Shengjun!"

A young man immediately stepped forward and presented Deng Kuo with a palm-sized brocade box. When he opened it, he saw that it turned out to be an exquisite turtle shell.

Deng Kuo looked at the turtle shell, and all the leaders stretched their necks to come over. A bearded man was very puzzled and said: "What kind of bird is this? What do you holy kings mean?"

Li Shun was not surprised by the vulgarity of these Jiangyang thieves, and said with a calm expression: "Boss Deng, do you see any writing on the tortoise shell?"

Deng Kui turned the tortoise shell over, and sure enough, he saw that it was engraved with "Xuyou Yuezi in the Renshen Year, the Qin Palace Guiyang Banquet Quartet Merit". Exactly three years later, the next sentence is self-evident.

Li Shun bowed his hands respectfully in the direction of Shenzhou to show his respect for the Holy King, and then said proudly: "The Holy King will unify the Central Plains within three years. For meritorious people from all over the world, this tortoise shell is the banquet invitation!"

Everyone shouted, Deng Kui couldn't help being flattered when he saw the sincerity of the Demon Lord, but he was still a little puzzled. With the prestige of the Demon Moon Dynasty and the Demon Lord, it was really unbelievable how he could look up to her. She really surrendered her allegiance to the Demon Lord, and I am afraid that if she wants to participate in this turtle and sheep banquet to be rewarded for her merits, she will have to experience a narrow escape to be eligible.

Deng Kui played with the tortoise shell, and said somewhat dispiritedly: "I, Deng Kui, occupied the mountain as a bandit, and my brothers followed me to find a way out here. Now that I can get the invitation from the Demon King, it really flatters me and other bandits. De He Neng, I'm afraid it will be of great help to the great cause of the Demon Lord!"

Li Shun smiled deeply, and said loudly: "We are sages and corporals, heroes in the world don't care about their origins. Now Qin soldiers want to hide Chencang and cross the army south by water. They urgently need the help of leader Deng and other heroes. After the world is settled, this turtle and sheep Naturally, you have a place at the banquet!"

Deng Kui half-lyed on the soft bed and said lightly: "Your envoy said it too easily. It would be good if the imperial court didn't come to encircle us. How dare we make trouble again? Your envoy, please come back. Forgive me Deng You can't trade the lives of your brothers for this glory and wealth!"

A big man got up and said: "Yes, we have food and drink here, and we can save our lives. If we leave this Wolong Bay, isn't it courting death?"

All of a sudden, Li Shun smiled contemptuously, pointed at Deng Kui, and said fiercely: "Chief Deng, the imperial court has repeatedly encircled and suppressed the cottage but all failed. Did you ever ask for security? You are originally from Lingfeng County. Lord, your lord's name is Deng Shirong. He was famous for his incorruptibility during his lifetime. He was an official of a famous family. Your two elder brothers are also sons of the prince. Your Deng family can be said to be loyal in civil and military affairs. Why did you end up beheading everyone? Don't you hate it? ? Don’t you want to justify your family’s name? You still want to live your whole life as a traitor!”

Deng Kuo was furious, and immediately jumped up from the tiger skin couch, picked up the steel gun next to him, pointed at Li Shun and said: "How can this be unreasonable? I, Deng Kuo, am 14 years old wearing a war robe and armor. In fact, I am greedy for life and afraid of death." generation!"

An old member of Deng Kuo couldn't see it, he jumped up and grabbed Li Shun by the collar, and said bluntly: "You birdman, don't make a mistake, believe it or not, I will tear your rotten mouth!"

"That's enough, please envoy go down to rest first, and the Commander will give you an answer after consideration!"

Deng Kuo seemed to be feeling overwhelmed, turned his back to the crowd, and ordered calmly.

When Li Shun was pushed and pushed out of the Juyi Hall by the big man, he still struggled to turn his head and said loudly, "The Holy King will rule the world just around the corner. If you don't follow the Holy King, you will suffer great disasters in the future!"

The demonic messenger was still relentless, and none of the leaders made a sound. At this time, someone noticed that their big leader was crying.

Yanmen County, Prince Mu's Mansion.

Mu Yao, who was over sixty years old but still energetic, was sitting at his desk. On the table in front of him was a turtle shell with words also engraved on it. He was also treated both softly and hardly by the Demon King's messenger.

After a long while, he sighed and leaned on the teacher's chair, closing his eyes and meditating.

After a while, the study door was gently pushed open, Mu Yao's eyelids moved, and he asked in a tired voice, "Has the messenger sent you away?"

Mu Ziyan also had a complicated look on his face. He said "hmm", walked behind Mu Yao, and gently rubbed his father's shoulders. He kept staring at the turtle shell on the table and frowned deeply.

The situation between the imperial court and the Mu family was already very tense, and now the devil is secretly coercing and luring the Mu family. The situation of the Mu family is already very bad, but the Mu family father and daughter have never thought of such a treasonous thing such as secession and rebellion.

Mu Yao stretched out his old hand, patted the back of his daughter's hand, and said lovingly: "Daughter, my father's body is getting worse and worse than before. It is always impossible to be disobedient. Although the court is unjust, there is an eldest princess who supervises the country , at least at the moment, there is no treachery that harms the country and the people, looking at how talented the eldest son-in-law is, one knows that the righteousness is not exhausted, but our Mu family's vitality is probably at the end!!"
