Dragon Pattern Roll Set

The door of the study in Kaifeng Mansion was closed.

Everyone gathered together, and there was that portrait of Bai Linger on the table.

"Wow, it really looks like it!" Bao Yan stared at the portrait in amazement, and at the same time Pang Yu asked Bai Yutang, "Then what, are you sure you were born by your parents, didn't you pick them up?"

Bai Yutang glanced at him, and Pang Yu was so startled that he quickly hid behind Bao Yan.

"Yutang was born by his mother, and I was nearby from conception to birth." Tianzun said.

Bai Yutang glanced at Tianzun... He used to think that he just met Tianzun when he was three years old. In fact, he found out later that Tianzun had lived near Yingxue Palace three years before his birth, waiting for him. From the time he was born until he was three years old, it took six full years before he went to ask Lu Xueer to ask for him.

When Lu Xueer found out that Tianzun wanted to accept Bai Yutang as his apprentice, she knew that her son would be a big deal in the future, so she gave her son to Tianzun without saying a word.

"Actually... people are similar." Gongsun held up the portrait and looked at it, and said, "If the real Yu'er is still alive, it may not be so similar to his mother."

Everyone is touching their chins, that's right, they will always be influenced by a little bit of their father's blood, right?

"That's true. I haven't seen any son who can be like this with his mother so far." Zhao Pu also nodded.

Zhan Zhao has been worried since he came back from the palace.Seeing that everyone was preparing gifts for going north, and there was a lot of noise outside, he was even more uneasy, "Actually... is this plan really feasible?"

Everyone looked at him.

Zhan Zhao said, "What if Xuanyuan Jie doesn't believe it?"

Everyone frowned, it was not impossible.

Pang Yu rubbed his chin, "Well... No one really knows what happened in the mountains back then. If he found his son's body at that time, or saw that his son died too... then he would be cheated."

Everyone nodded. After all, even Xuanyuan Po heard about Xuanyuan Jie's experience later, and no one had ever seen it with their own eyes. However, Xuanyuan Jie's cruelty and insidiousness are well known to the world.How much he was stimulated or what strange things happened, how did he turn from a gentle and good man into a bloodthirsty mad tyrant?

"The government has asked someone to inquire about the situation in Beihai in the past few days." Master Bao sighed, "It's really shocking..."

Everyone looked at Bao Zheng.

"Xuanyuan Jie kills tens of thousands of people every year on average, not counting those who died of hard labor." Bao Zheng shook his head, "There are hundreds of concubines every year, almost every two or three days, and less than half of them can survive. .”

Everyone felt chills down their spines, this guy is even less reliable than Xia Jie and Shang Zhou.

"Killing him is more effective than anything else." Yin Hou said, "It's better to kill him directly."

"That's right." Lin Yehuo nodded, "It's a disaster for such a person to live."

"According to the investigation, many people try to assassinate Xuanyuan Jie every year...but they all return in vain. The people in Beihai hate him to death, but they just can't kill him. It is said that Xuanyuan Jie is extremely skilled and immortal."

"So amazing?" Zhao Pu still didn't believe it.

Tianzun said, "Otherwise I will go."

Yin Hou nodded, thinking it was feasible.

"But..." At this time, Grand Master Pang said, "Xuanyuan Jie has many heirs, and it is said that many of them are powerful characters, and the level of cruelty is not inferior to their father. Once the demon emperor dies suddenly, those counties that enshrine the emperor The king must not be willing to be the king of a small country. Because once it becomes a mess, the result will either be annexed by foreign tribes or perish...so the result can only be two..."

"Civil war or unite to produce another demon emperor." Lord Bao nodded, "Assassination is probably not advisable, and if the assassination fails, it may speed up his plan to attack the Central Plains."

"Actually, this plan is not impossible." Bai Yutang glanced at the portrait and said.

Everyone looked at him.

"I don't necessarily need to lie to him, nor do I need to fabricate a false identity." Bai Yutang said, "According to what Xuanyuan Po said, all I need is to let him see me, and the future development depends on what Xuanyuan Jie wants me to do. If he thinks that I am his son, even if I say I am not, he will think so. But if he does not think that I am his son, at most he thinks that I am a bit like me. At worst, ignore me. I don’t need to take the initiative to approach him. "

Mr. Bao nodded, "That's true, keep the same in response to all changes."

"You can only take one step at a time." Zhao Pu said, "It doesn't matter, at worst, if I fight with him, even if Xixia, Liao and Beihai's soldiers and horses are all together, they may not be able to win me, let alone Xixia and Liao haven't listened to him yet, so we can start here."

"It would be best if we could not fight." Mr. Bao said, "Swords and guns have no eyes. Once the time comes, if the soldiers meet, there will be tens of thousands of deaths and injuries, which will hurt your vitality."

Everyone nodded.

That night, everyone packed up and prepared to have a good night's sleep. Before dawn, they sneaked out of Kaifeng Mansion and set off for the northwest.

This trip was almost kept secret, Zhao Pu's men, Zou Liang, had already been transported to the boat and sailed by water, and Bao Zheng and the others were also preparing to leave by boat after leaving Kaifeng.

In the dead of night, Zhan Zhao sat in the courtyard in a daze with his face on his hands.

Bai Yutang came out after washing up, "Cat, I have to get up early tomorrow."

Zhan Zhao looked back at him.

Knowing that he was worried, Bai Yutang walked over and sat beside him, "What's wrong?"

"Eyelids twitch." Zhan Zhao covered his left eye.

"The left eye jumps into money and the right eye jumps into disaster." Bai Yutang patted Zhan Zhao's head, "We've arrived."

Zhan Zhao looked up at the sky, "My mother told me since I was a child that left is bad and right is good."

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Wait until your right eye twitches before you talk about bad luck and good luck."

Zhan Zhao is upset.

"You don't have to worry too much." Bai Yutang said, "Even if I really want to sneak into the palace and pretend to be the prince, it may not be too dangerous."

Zhan Zhao held his chin, and said, "This Xuanyuan Jie, the first half of his life was pitiful, the second half of his life was abominable, a good emperor caused his beloved wife and son to die miserably, and the strangest thing is that he became a demon himself, and killed him after returning home." So many people."

"If this person is really allowed to invade and rule the Central Plains, then the result can be imagined." Bai Yutang said, "If it were you, you would go too."

Zhan Zhao was silent for a long time, then nodded, "Yes! So, I'll go with you!"

Bai Yutang was stunned, then looked at Zhan Zhao, "Are you going with me?"

"Yes!" Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "If he really thinks you are his son and drags you into the palace, you can drag me along!"

Bai Yutang looked at him for a long time, "Who are you? Daughter-in-law?"

Zhan Zhao kicked Bai Yutang, "Speak seriously."

Bai Yutang held his chin, "It would be great if you could go with me."

Zhan Zhao suddenly leaned over and asked depressedly, "What if he insists on getting you a princess or something?"

Bai Yutang laughed, stretched out his hand and pinched Zhan Zhao's nose, "Then say I want you!"

Zhan Zhao held Bai Yutang's face, "Then you cover your head when you get married."

Bai Yutang was stunned for a long time, then asked Zhan Zhao, "Do you want to marry me?"

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao nodded, then looked up at the sky, "As long as you are willing to cover your head..."

Bai Yutang was overjoyed but speechless, "Why are you so concerned about the hijab?"

Zhan Zhao continued to mutter, "You cover it."

Bai Yutang supported his forehead, "Why don't we both cover it?"

"That won't work." Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, "You cover it."

Bai Yutang stared at him, "Then let's build it together."

Zhan Zhao laughed, "If you can't see the road, you will hit the wall."

Bai Yutang feels that Zhan Zhao's mood has improved a lot, and he's not so nervous... Actually, he's not afraid of being in danger this time, but he's afraid that he won't be able to grasp the situation and don't be self-defeating. up.But if you can really stop a war, you might as well give it a try.

……

When the cock crowed the next day, everyone got up and got into the carriage together, set off from the back door, and left Kaifeng mansion quietly.

In addition to the people from Kaifeng Mansion, the Grand Master still went with him on this trip... He is still needed at the critical moment, especially if Bai Yutang successfully enters the palace this time, he will inevitably get involved in court struggles.Regarding this aspect, Bai Yutang has no experience at all, even adding a Zhan Zhao would be useless... A grand master is an absolutely necessary existence.

Tianzun and Yinhou also followed, and they were responsible for helping to spread the word, they are good at lightness kung fu, and it is convenient for them to enter and leave the palace.Of course, the horoscope has not been written yet... Everything will be decided after Beihai, depending on Xuanyuan Jie's reaction after seeing Bai Yutang.

The crowd rushed all the way to Black Wind City, without any delay on the way, and soon...arrived at the Northwest Fortress.

Everyone in the Central Plains always heard people talking about Black Wind City. Only when they arrived did they realize that this Black Wind City was not just a simple castle or a city. It was a fortress that spanned the entire border. barrier.

The scale of Heifeng City is not smaller than that of Kaifeng Mansion. The city walls are all black and soaring into the sky. The city gates and towers are distributed according to the terrain. The soldiers standing guard on the towers change shifts regularly.

There is no human habitation in a radius of more than ten miles outside Black Wind City, so if someone wants to sneak attack, they can be seen at a glance. Every city wall is heavily guarded.

Everyone passed through several passes, and finally arrived at the gate of Heifeng City.

The suspension bridge on the moat was lowered, the city gate was opened, and a group of people and horses came out to meet them. A white-robed general sat in the front. He looked very elegant. He was in his 30s, with a kind face and a very stable feeling. .

Behind that man are Ouyang Shaozheng and Long Qiaoguang.

No need to ask, this white-robed general is Zhao Jiajun's second-in-command, deputy general He Yihang.

It is said that He Yihang is a mother-in-law, although he is not as verbose as Long Qiaoguang, but he is very meticulous.Moreover, this person is extremely low-key. Most people know that there is a lieutenant general like him, but they don't know what characteristics he has.

The generals under Zhao Pu are all great figures.

Ouyang Shaozheng is a vanguard officer with a perverse personality, almost crazy when fighting, and he is a very morale-boosting person.

Zou Liang is ruthless, but his martial arts are extremely high and ruthless, and he is an existence that can deter the enemy.Long Qiaoguang was laughing and joking, and seemed to have nothing serious about him, but his martial arts skills were strong and he was good at using heavy bows. He often killed the opponent's general from a hundred meters away without fighting.

This He Yihang, on the other hand, most often does work such as defending the city, backing up, delivering food, receiving and so on, and doing odd jobs for Zhao Pu. As for how powerful he is, no one knows.

When everyone saw this kind-looking He Yihang, they were really curious—why did Zhao Pu let him be the second in command?But no one in the room would despise him. After all, he was one of the four famous generals of the Zhao family army, and... Ouyang Shaozheng, Zou Liang and Long Qiaoguang seemed to listen to him very much.It is not easy to make these three people obedient, they should be the sharp and restrained types.

He Yihang dismounted with his lieutenants and saluted Zhao Pu. The soldiers on the city wall had already shouted, "Marshal is back!"

……

For a moment, the entire Black Wind City boiled.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay——Zhao Pu was known as the God of Frontier Fortress, and it was true, as soon as he entered Black Wind City, his status immediately rose.

Zhao Pu waved his hand to everyone, which meant—to enter the city.

People and horses marched into the city. In the carriage, the fourth son held his face and asked Gongsun, "Daddy, Jiujiu is so amazing."

Gongsun looked at the majestic Heifeng City, and secretly sighed in his heart. When he came a few years ago, Heifeng City was not of this scale. It can be built so decently in just a few years. The important thing is that the big things are still very clear, and it is worthy of the Great Song Dinghai Shenzhen.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rode at the back, and Zhan Zhao whispered to Bai Yutang, "It's probably not wrong for us to go to Beihai."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao and asked, "Do you think that in Heifeng City, Zhao Pu won't have a chance to show off because of his popularity?"

Zhan Zhao patted Bai Yutang on the shoulder, "Sure enough, a rat knows me."

……

Black Wind City was very lively, most of the residents were family members of soldiers, and they were all happy to see Zhao Pu coming.That scene was a bit close to Zhan Zhao returning to Changzhou Mansion. Of course, people in Changzhou Mansion looked at Zhan Zhao with love, while people in Black Wind City looked at Zhao Pu with admiration in their eyes.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Liang squatted next to the fourth son and looked out enviously, "Master is too dignified, too domineering, too heroic."

Lin Yehuo stood aside, holding his cheeks and sighing—why didn't this scene happen when he returned to Huofengtang?His disciples can only make fun of him, but it is much better than Bai Yutang returning to the Tianshan Sect. The bull-nosed gang of Tianshan Sect probably rolled their eyes and envied Bai Yutang when they saw Bai Yutang... But I heard that the relationship is not good recently. Improved.

To the north of Black Wind City is a series of barracks. After all, 40 troops are stationed there.

The military camp is very tidy, with a clear layout and clear division of labor, and the formation is clever.

Along the way, everyone believed more and more that Zhao Pu was worthy of being a military genius.

The Marshal's Mansion in the far north is Zhao Pu's mansion

Due to time constraints, no one went to the camps of the left wing, the right wing, the middle road, and the vanguard army, and settled down directly in Zhao Pu's Marshal's Mansion.

After a short rest, everyone went to Zhao Pu's study to gather.

The study of the Marshal's Mansion is naturally different from that of Mr. Wen Sheng. There is a large table in the middle, on which is a topographic map of the border of the entire Western Region made of sand.It is said that it was done by Ouyang Shaozheng. Ouyang is known as a master of geography, and he has the topography of the entire Western Region in his heart.

There is a large row of shelves on the side, and on each shelf is a sheepskin map, which is the military map of the countries in the Western Regions.

He Yihang took out a new one and pushed it in front of everyone. This is the territory map of Beihai, with Liao Kingdom, Xixia and other places beside it.

Zhao Pu frowned, "Has the North Sea expanded to the north?"

He Yihang nodded.

Everyone was secretly surprised when they looked at the picture. The area of ​​Beihai was already larger than the sum of Liao and Xixia.

"Most of the north is ice sheets and frozen soil, which is actually useless." He Yihang said, "I heard that Xuanyuan Jie forced the people to develop the frozen soil last year in order to expand the territory, and tens of thousands of people died."

Everyone couldn't help frowning, this Xuanyuan Jie is really cruel...

"This one was sent by Xuanyuanpo." He Yihang opened a large scroll on the table and hung it on the shelf beside it.

I saw that it was a detailed introduction map of Xuanyuan royal family members, which introduced the basic situation of several powerful county kings and important officials in the palace.

"This one is for you." He Yihang handed a letter to Bai Yutang, and said, "Xuanyuan Po said that in three days, Xuanyuan Jie will go to his territory, and he will arrange for you to meet him by chance."

Bai Yutang nodded, accepted the letter, and opened it to read.

"How many troops are there in Beihai?" Zhao Pu asked.

He Yihang was silent for a moment.

Zhao Pu looked up at him.

He Yihang arrived, "Close to a million."

Everyone was stunned.

Pang Yu opened his mouth wide, "Why are there so many people?"

Bao Yan also felt strange, "Are there so many people in Beihai?"

He Yihang said, "20 years ago, Xuanyuan Jie issued an order to have children. Men and women in Beihai must marry before the age of 20. Each family must have at least five children. Families who send two sons to serve as soldiers can be exempted from hard labor. Hard labor, families who send their three sons into the army are exempt from tax.”

Everyone opened their mouths.

"So he planned it long ago?" Gongsun couldn't help asking.

He Yihang nodded, "Xuanyuan Jie's military force is conservatively estimated at 80. If the Liao Kingdom, Xixia and other military forces also take refuge in the past, the military force may reach 120 million, which is three times that of ours."

Everyone couldn't help frowning. Looking at Zhao Pu, if there was a real fight, it would definitely be a tough battle.

Gongsun was also a little worried. Even if Zhao Pu was the God of War, this battle would be difficult.There is no Chibi natural barrier here, nor Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind. Even if they can win, the casualties are estimated to be heavy.Mr. Bao is right, if you can not fight, it is better not to fight.

Thinking of this, everyone subconsciously looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang was currently reading Xuanyuanpo's letter intently.

Zhan Zhao looked at his expression, then at Zhao Pu, and finally at the frowning crowd, and suddenly smiled.

Everyone looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao patted Bai Yutang and said, "I will go with Yutang, it would be best if we don't fight, but if there is a fight, Zhao Pu won't lose, right?"

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows, Zhan Zhao's words were pleasant to hear.

He Yihang smiled.

Ouyang Shaozheng said, "When the Liao army was at its best, there were millions of troops. When we first set off, the generals were less than 20 years old and there were only 20 troops. Three times that is nothing. Still, his father didn't even know him. !"
