The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

But Yang Heng was really not used to having so many people follow him back and forth, without any room for freedom, so he strongly refused.

In the end, the imperial court had no choice but to take three or four yamen servants and lead the way for Yang Heng to make stops along the way.

After they left the capital, they followed the pass all the way south, and soon arrived at Tongzhou Ferry.

This is the only way for the capital to go to Shandong.

After Yang Heng and the others loaded everything on the official ship, seven or eight ships sailed mightily on the canal.

The road went very smoothly, and all levels of government along the coast heard the passing of the National Teacher's fleet, and they all set up a banquet on the pier early, wanting to entertain Yang Heng, the newly promoted National Teacher.

However, Yang Heng's character was a bit dull, and he refused all these banquets, so they were very fast.

Along the way, Yang Heng's fleet passed through Tianjin, Cangzhou, Dezhou, and finally disembarked in Liaocheng.

When Yang Heng came to the pier just now, he found that a dozen officials, both civil and military, had knelt down in front of the pier.

Whether Yang Heng is in modern times or in another world, before he entered Beijing, he was Liu Quan, the magistrate of Xiangfu County, and Yang Heng always saluted when he saw him.

Now, more than a dozen officials at all levels suddenly kneeled in front of him, which made Yang Heng feel a little apprehensive.

But he has no experience, and his senior disciple Shou Ming Ke has a lot of experience in these official circles.

Therefore, Yang Heng didn't need to face this kind of situation in person. As Yang Heng's first disciple, Shou Ming had already helped Yang Heng get rid of it.

After Yang Heng rested overnight in Liaocheng, the prefect of Liaocheng immediately dispatched hundreds of elite soldiers to escort Yang Heng all the way to the front line in Jinan.

With these officers and soldiers clearing the way and disciples serving him, Yang Heng had a very comfortable journey.

When he got to the front line in Jinan, Yang Heng found that he had gained a few pounds.

Here, Yang Heng finally met the old man again, Dugong Li, who had shielded his subordinates and tripped Yang Heng several times.

I haven't seen him for a while, but Yang Heng's identity has undergone earth-shaking changes, so this time Dugong personally took all the civil and military officials in the camp, and went ten miles to meet Yang Heng.

Fortunately, Yang Heng cultivated into an earth immortal, and his mind is very firm, so he didn't show the face of a nouveau riche.

Next, Yang Heng and a dozen people entered the camp, and Dugong Li placed Yang Heng's big tent next to his precious tent.

After Yang Heng and others rested for the night, the next day, Dugong Li personally invited Yang Heng to his handsome tent, and then divided the guests and hosts into seats.

Sitting in the middle of the handsome tent, Li Dugong gestured to Yang Heng with a teacup, took a sip, and finally said: "Daoist Yang, what happened before was very offending, please don't be offended by Daoist Yang."

Yang Heng nodded, and then said: "Let's let the past go. Now that the enemy is at hand, let's talk about what happened to the White Lotus Sect in Jinan City?"

As soon as he mentioned the White Lotus Sect, Li Dugong had a sad expression on his face. He sighed, then put the cup on the table and said: "To be honest, Xu Hongru has become cruel this time. Almost all the men in Jinan City Ding, he had already overtaken the city wall. In the beginning, the imperial court was still a bit aggressive and forced to attack the city a few times, but later the losses became more and more serious, and the soldiers complained a lot. I had no choice but to slow down the pace of the attack.”

Yang Heng thought for a while, and then said: "Duke Li, you come home with a lot of mana, and there are so many masters, so how can Xu Hongru be alone and weak, how can he stop you?"

Dugong Li laughed miserably for a while, and then said: "Since breaking this arm, the meridians in my body have been incomplete, so my skill has dropped a lot. Now I am really no match for Xu Hongru."

Yang Heng looked at Dugong Li's severed arm, and nodded silently.

You must know that what a practitioner cares most about is a completeness. Compare your body to a world. If the world is not complete, you will naturally not be able to achieve perfection, and your skill will naturally decline.

"What about those experts from various factions?"

When Dugong Li heard this, there was a gleam of fear in his eyes.

He hesitated for a while, and finally expressed the fear in his heart.

"These experts have left now, but I saw that when they left, there was excitement in each of their eyes. From my guess, they just saw that the troubled times are coming, and they want to help the Dragon Court again. With the help of the Dragon Court With the good fortune, he will sharply improve his sect and his own strength."

Yang Heng was a little dazed when he heard this, but finally he said: "Impossible, isn't it? The court has settled down, isn't it so serious?"

Chapter 417

"The Daoist doesn't know something. Some time ago, I received news from our King Rong that the court's luck has suffered a lot. Without the suppression of the court's dragon spirit, the dragon spirit of the world's famous mountains and rivers has begun to bloom. I'm afraid those experts from various factions I also saw this, so I didn’t want to help our Great Zhou Dynasty.”

Although Yang Heng said that he has now reached the realm of an Earth Immortal, and his supernatural powers are considered vast, he does not have much experience in the change of dynasties in the world and the bursting of dragon energy, so he is probably the last one among the Earth Immortals to know this. thing.

Now Yang Heng sat there silently, but his heart was already in a mess.

Now he somewhat understands why Emperor Shunde wanted to designate himself as a national teacher. This is simply pulling himself back.

Dugong Li, who was sitting opposite Yang Heng, seemed to have seen Yang Heng's thoughts, he smiled, and said to Yang Chen meaningfully: "Master, you are blessed by the court's luck, and I am afraid that you are also in the game now." , Those masters from various sects will not let you go."

Yang Heng nodded silently, he knew what Dugong Li meant.

Now that I have been canonized by the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if I hang the seal and seal gold to go back to the mountains and forests, I am afraid that those sects and factions who want to seize Longting will not let me go.

It seemed that he was tied to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Yang Heng was only a little worried and then let go of his mind, because he had a hole card.

As long as there is that stone ring, he has come to the worst plan, and he is just fleeing back to the modern age. At that time, as long as he stays in the modern age for a few years, he will be able to come back when the dynasty change is over. Come here and continue to live your little life and continue your dream of self-cultivation.

When thinking of this, Yang Heng's face softened.

Dugong Li, who was sitting opposite Yang Heng, nodded slightly when he thought that Yang Heng had thought it through.

He knew this Yang Heng from King Rong's letter, that he was supernaturally powerful, and his strength was no less than that of King Rong in his heyday.

As long as it is such a character, sit on the side of the court.Even if the various sects want to get involved in the matter of seizing the Dragon Court, they have to weigh whether they will break their own teeth.

As long as the major sects do not participate, relying on the strength of their enshrining divisions, and the fact that the imperial court is still well-equipped with soldiers and food, they should be able to quickly extinguish the rebellions that are swarming all over the place.

In this way, the luck of the imperial court can slowly recover during this period of time, and the luck of the famous mountains and rivers will be suppressed from the beginning.

Having said that, Dugong Li no longer mentioned the matter of luck, but turned the topic to Xu Hongru in Jinan City.

"Daoist, what should we do next in Jinan City?"

Yang Heng thought for a while, then shook his head slightly and said, "I'm good at using my supernatural powers against the enemy, but I've never done it before commanding a large army. Therefore, Dugong Li made up his mind and just listen to me."

"Okay, since the Taoist priest said so, I will not be polite."

When he said this, Dugong Li stood up, came to the gate of Datang, and told a soldier guarding: "Pass me the commander-in-chief, beat the drum to raise the account."

Following Dugong Li's order, the drums outside the tent rang like raindrops.

And with the sound of the drum, there were waves of footsteps outside the big tent.

After a while, outside the big tent, there were constant voices of declaring their names, and then a member of the general entered the big tent and stood in the hatchback according to the grade.

After the three-way drum passed, the entire big tent was fully occupied by a general in full armor.

And there are only two people sitting in this big tent.

One is Li Dugong, the commander-in-chief of the army. He sat behind the desk in the middle and looked at the generals in the big tent expressionlessly.

And the other one is Yang Heng who sits leisurely next to the handsome desk.

The generals already knew yesterday that the imperial court had sent a national teacher to help out, but they had never seen a real person.

Now seeing a middle-aged Taoist priest sitting next to Li Dugong, he couldn't help but take a second look.

When they found out that it was Yang Heng, these people couldn't help smiling, and nodded slightly to Yang Heng.

In the past, Yang Heng came to the front of the two armies to help out, and got along with these generals. After a while, everyone got along pretty well, after all, there was no conflict of interest.

Some of them even had drinks with Yang Heng a few times, and they were considered friends.

Dugong Li saw that all the generals had arrived, so he coughed, and then said: "This is sitting next to me, I think you all know him, yes, he is the new national teacher, Yang Heng, Daoist Yang."

When he said this, Li Dugong bowed his hands to Yang Heng, "This time Daoist Yang came to the front of the two armies because of the emperor's order, to help us break Jinan City and capture Xu Hongru alive."

"That's why I decided that if the army is dispatched together today, Jinan City will definitely be broken and Xu Hongru will be captured alive."

"promise."

All the generals clasped their fists together to Duke Li.

"Okay, all the generals will go back to rectify the troops, and after a stick of incense, the army will set off."

Following a commander-in-chief order, all the generals withdrew from the main tent of the Chinese army at once, and went back to rectify the army horses.

"Daoist, why don't you pack up when you go back, and we will dispatch together later."

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

After Yang Heng stood up and cupped his hands, he left the Chinese military tent and returned to his own military tent next to him.

When Yang Heng came back, Erya was having morning class with eight apprentices.

But Yang Heng could tell that these people were just putting on a show, because they sat there and their eyes kept drifting out of the big tent, and it seemed that they couldn't bear the loneliness.

Yang Heng coughed, and then said: "Okay, don't pretend, pack up, if you are brave, follow me to the front of the two armies to see the world."

Yang Heng's words immediately made Erya and the eight apprentices look like wild horses that had run loose, especially Erya rushed out of the tent and went back to her small tent. When he came back, he was already in military uniform.

And Linglong and Zhuzhu who were following her were also wearing military uniforms, following behind Erya like two generals escorting their coach.

Yang Heng looked at their outfits and asked a little strangely: "Where did this armor come from? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Erya walked around in front of Yang Heng for a few times, and then said: "It's Shouming who respects me, how is it? Does it look good?"

Yang Heng looked at the current Erya carefully again, and he was indeed very heroic. Putting on this armor, it wrapped up some of Erya's childishness, and what appeared in front of Yang Heng was completely heroic.

"That's right, our Erya is now considered a female general."

Erya nodded in satisfaction after hearing Yang Heng's praise.

However, Yang Heng was not so polite to Linglong and Pearl next.

"What are you two doing? Is this a place where you can join in the fun?"

To say that Erya also has some magical protection, it is not too dangerous to go to the front of the two armies, but these two maids are just powerless, and they can only cause trouble for themselves when they go to the front of the two armies .

Linglong and Pearl's expressions changed, and finally I looked at Erya beggingly, wanting Erya to say a few words to them.

Erya just opened her mouth, but when she saw Yang Heng's serious face, she stopped immediately.

"Aren't you going back? If you keep messing around like this, let's see how I deal with you."

Seeing that there was no hope, Linglong and Pearl could only leave in frustration.

After a while, Yang Heng's eight apprentices were all dressed up.

Yang Heng saw that they were all dressed in uniforms and crowns, as if they were eight-member generals.

Yang Heng looked at the outfits of these people and wanted to laugh. It seems that they had already discussed it on the road, and even prepared everything to wear on the battlefield.

They still don't know the dangers on the battlefield, and they completely regard going to the battlefield as entertainment.

However, Yang Heng did not remind them of the dangers on the battlefield, but wanted them to experience it for themselves. With this experience, they should have a better understanding of the dangers of the world and the shortness of life.

So Yang Heng waved his hand silently, and he went out of the big tent first, and then Erya followed closely behind with Yang Heng's eight apprentices.

When Yang Heng came outside the tent, he saw only the disciples' servants standing there leading eight or nine good horses.

Yang Heng didn't say a word, and went directly to the group of tall horses in front, and then turned on his back. Several other people followed suit, choosing their own horses.

When Yang Heng came here, as the commander-in-chief, Dugong Li had been waiting there with hundreds of guards for a long time.

Seeing Yang Heng coming, Li Dugong hastily urged the horse forward and clasped his fist with one hand.

"National Teacher, is there anything you need? I'll get someone to prepare it right away."

"Thank you, Marshal, but my apprentices have arranged things carefully, and there is nothing missing."

Hearing Yang Heng's words, Dugong Li glanced behind Yang Heng. He might not know others, but he had seen Shouming who followed Er Ya more than once.

After all, Shouming is also the grandson of the emperor, and their enshrining department once sent masters to guard the mansion of Shouming's father.

So Dugong Li hurriedly clasped his fist with one hand again on the horse, and nodded at Shouming.

Since Shouming was following the master, he only nodded in response.

Then everyone didn't say much, Li Dugong led the crowd in front, Yang Heng and others followed closely, and they all left the camp together, and soon came to the front of the two armies.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of troops had already poured out, and the encirclement of Jinan City was impenetrable.

To the north of Jinan City, Dugong Li and Yang Heng led dozens of generals in the center of the formation, overlooking the Xiongcheng City of Jinan.

Dugong Li looked at the opposite Jinan City while giving Yang Heng advice.

"Jinan is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north and Mount Tai in the south. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The transportation is convenient and the location is superior. If Xu Hongru gains power here, it will be difficult to stop."

Yang Hengyi listened to Dugong Li's introduction while observing the city of Jinan himself.

I only saw that the city of Jinan was more than ten meters high, and there was an urn at the city gate, and defensive facilities such as turrets, enemy towers, and shop houses were built on the city wall.

No wonder Li Dugong still had no choice but to take this city of Jinan after such a long time. When Xu Hongru obtained this great city, he also relied on internal support to easily occupy Jinan City.

As long as a person who is not stupid comes to defend Jinan City, relying on the walls of Jinan City and the water of Daming Lake in the city, as long as he can work together, even with several times the strength, Jinan City will not be shaken.

And the White Lotus Sect is even better at deceiving people's hearts, so the current Jinan City is really a hard bone for the imperial court.
