The Cangjiang river was frozen, which was a good time for the southern uprising army to expand northward, but the leader of the southern uprising army who established himself as King Xuan of Chu encountered a big problem.
From south to north, this area is Chu, Song, Zheng, and Qi, and only the state of Chu is to the south of the Cangjiang River. The so-called name is not correct, and all the rebels have to put on a glamorous coat for themselves, and the only ones who can stabilize the status of the Gaya royal family are the descendants of princes and kings who have survived countless dynasties. Huangfu Liuxian himself is a descendant of King Song, while King Xuan of Chu ordered people to compile a genealogy immediately after the uprising, making himself a relative of King Chu.
Most of the surviving vassal states have participated in the ancient wars for hegemony, and they are still rock-solid after the fall of the old dynasty. They have a longer history than the Gaya family, and they are a real family. Later, Gaya's royal power expanded rapidly, constantly overthrowing the princes and kings, and the princes and states gradually declined. Now, because of the repeated burials, the descendants withered. But even so, their status is still enough to match this throne.
King Xuan of Chu, who artificially climbed into the relationship with the princes and kings, was very afraid of the real descendant of the princes, Huangfu Liuxian, but it was only a fear. He had an unstoppable trump card.
"Mr. Yue, I don't know when we can raise our troops to cross the river? There is no shortage of food and grass here. If we can't occupy the Cangjiang Plain before the end of winter, we may be powerless."
In the military tent, King Xuan of Chu sat in the middle with a worried look on his face.
There is a person standing under his left hand, with a feather fan and scarf, a black robe with a broad belt, and a face like a crown jade, which looks warm and solemn. Mo Ling's disciples are generally like this, even if they don't do anything, they have the aura to control the overall situation just by standing there. King Xuan of Chu looked at him, thinking that compared with Mr. Yue and other transcendent people, he can only be regarded as a reckless man, but royal power is something in the world, and it is too much for a layman like him to take it. It couldn't be more appropriate.
"There are tigers in the north, and the king wants to go to the tiger mountain. Have you ever thought about whether you have the strength to fight the tiger?" Yue Rusuo shook his head and sighed, "If the king had foresight, we should have given up helping some poor people in the south. The marching speed of the army is several times faster, and the food and grass are sufficient, so it is not impossible to disperse the Song State in one fell swoop."
King Chuxuan's expression was uncertain, he couldn't agree with Mr. Yue's words: "But wouldn't that lose the hearts of the people?"
"Does the king want the hearts of the people in this world, or the hearts of the people in this little Chu?" Yue Rusuo looked at him with a smile, shaking the feather fan in his hand, with a peaceful and stable expression, "What we want to conquer is the northern imperial capital, the people of Chu." The country is weak, and there are many unacceptable waters and soils in the north, so it is not feasible to use the people of Chu to fill the army. It is better to save resources to cross the Cangjiang River, and then incorporate the Cangjiang people into the army at one stroke. There are many talents hidden in the mountains, and it is much more useful for the king to win there than to win this Chu."
King Xuan of Chu felt that he couldn't do the kind of thing that he didn't help the common people while they were displaced, but he also felt that what Mr. Yue said was indeed reasonable.
"If we don't help these people in Chudi, then our reputation will be ruined. Will the people of Song Kingdom accept us?" King Chuxuan was still a little uneasy.
Yue Rusuo laughed again, and he said calmly: "My lord, most people who can endure tyranny for so long are ignorant, short-sighted and insensitive. They won't hurt what others lose, but they will be happy because of what they get. So the people of Song Kingdom will not be angry because you did not help the people in Chudi, but only grateful because you came to save them."
King Xuan of Chu was dumbfounded. It took him a long time to let out a sigh, but he didn't know what to do.
"The matter has come to this point, and the king does not need to blame himself. The fastest choice is not necessarily the best. The king has a benevolent heart, and it is a good thing to be able to practice benevolence. Rusuo is also very pleased. There is a plan here. I wonder if the king is willing to listen to it?"
King Chuxuan immediately became energetic, his eyes lit up, and he asked repeatedly: "Of course I am willing, I am naturally willing. Come, come, sir, sit down and talk."
After saying that, he got up, and didn't give orders to the soldiers serving beside him, but moved a chair for Yue Rusuo himself, and asked him to sit down.
Yue Rusuo was tall and tall, and did not sit down, but just cupped his hands and said to King Xuan of Chu: "Since the king has conquered Chu, he should simply use it as a basis and manage it properly. In the north, Song, Zheng, and Zhao raised troops later. , is also closer to the imperial capital, Wang Da can use them as a barrier, sit behind the Cangjiang River, wait until the dragon fights with the tiger, and both are weak, and then win the world in one fell swoop."
King Chuxuan was not a blind follower either, he thought for a while and said: "We will not take the initiative in this matter, if Gaya collapses, wouldn't it be in vain to let those in the north grow stronger?"
"They are fighting and growing, and you can do it too. But we don't have to face the Gaya family head-on. You can raise your troops to recover the Nanman and Beidi, and gradually expand your control area. After the northerners finish fighting, you will find out These surrounding areas are already your territory. You can also build a fleet and build a navy, and when Gaya is about to perish, you can directly take the route from the sea, go around to the rear, and enjoy the benefits.” Since Yue Rusuo made an opinion, it is impossible not to have more details Therefore, he answered the questions of King Chuxuan quite fluently and decently, and his words immediately moved him a lot.
"Okay! Then Xingchu will be the foundation, and then take the emperor's career!"
King Xuan of Chu waved his hand boldly, and was about to give an order, when the ground shook, and all the tables and chairs fell down, even he wobbled and couldn't stand still.
Yue Rusuo's expression froze, he suddenly drew his sword, a cold light pierced through the military tent, the entire thick tent cracked from the top, and then completely collapsed. He raised his sword and stood in front of King Xuan of Chu. On the fringe of the sword was a blue jade stone with a shining blade. When it collided with the jade stone, it made a clear and ethereal sound.
At this time, the soldiers outside had fallen into chaos, and countless people ran and fled. These soldiers were originally honest farmers who were forced to join the army, and had never seen anything in the world. When this vision appeared, they immediately panicked.
There are pitch-black flames all around, and if you touch it, you will die. Countless demon heads flew from all directions, and for a while, the ghostly shadows made people creepy. After the shock just now, even the sky and the earth went dark, the dazzling winter sun was gradually covered by the black sun, the pitch-black sky slowly descended, and the entire military camp was like a demon realm. At this time, the surrounding figures had disappeared, and there was no living thing around the military tent. King Chuxuan felt as if he was dying, and panicked in his heart, but his face remained calm.
"First, sir?" He swallowed, and then stretched out his hand to pull Yue Rusuo, he is a general after all, so it's not good to let the opponent stand in front of him like this.
"Back off." Yue Rusuo said, flipping the blade in his hand, King Chu Xuan behind him was instantly enveloped by countless sword lights, the blade hung down and turned into a cage, directly protecting him in it.
King Xuan of Chu felt a gust of wind whistling past, and an invisible fierce aura was slowly approaching. If it wasn't for the sword cage protecting him, he must have been eroded by this aura. The surrounding area was dark, the ghosts roared, and the evil spirits wailed. Only the area illuminated by the light of the Moon Rusuo sword could keep it clean. An inexplicable fear surged in his heart, as if there was something hidden in the darkness that could kill him in an instant.
Yue Rushuo swung his sword forward, pierced through the darkness, and saw the uninvited guest at once. He took advantage of the short flash of the sword light to see the person who was slowly walking into the military tent.
It was a girl who looked young, barefooted and blind, with red stripes on the black background on the Taoist robe, and holding a black short knife in her hand. She came stepping on the flame, with a relaxed expression as if seeing an old friend.
"Which Demon Venerable is your Excellency in the Wuhuang Demon Realm?" Yue Rusuo asked solemnly. The person in front of him walked step by step, and the sky changed, and there was no light. People with this kind of magic power are rare even in the orthodox magic way. The other party is probably a direct descendant, and the visitor is not kind.
Yun Qing smiled and nodded, she stopped at a safe distance where she could put pressure on Yue Rusuo, and then said softly, "I'm going to the Six Paths of Yan Mozong Huangquan."
Yue Rusuo's expression became more and more gloomy, and he had secretly pulled the summons order from the master's door in his hand.
Demon Venerable Huangquan was the one who broke the absolute security of the direct disciples ten years ago. Back then, she personally killed Ling Feizi of the Shenyin Sect, and she was able to escape unscathed after being held accountable for ten years. This almost clearly showed one thing to all holy places—the saint behind her was conniving. The rules in Zhan Luan are determined by the saints, and after Huang Quan broke the rules, the saints changed the rules directly, which is enough to prove that she is an existence outside the rules for the magic way.
"I don't know what the Demon Lord is doing?" Yue Rusuo had never received the news that she would come here, and she couldn't understand why the other party would come here.
The blade in Yun Qing's hand was extremely sharp, and there was almost no life left in the place where the black light passed. She didn't answer, but asked instead: "Fengjiang Sword Intent?"
Yue Rusuo frowned: "Not bad."
"So it's Wenjian... You're not good at fighting, are you?" Yun Qing nodded, looking at his sword spike and said.
Yue Rusuo felt that she looked gentle, but she always gave people a sense of domineering and oppressive, so he said in a deep voice, "Why does Mozun ask this?"
"Where's Tai Chi Sword Intent?" Yun Qing ignored him, and continued to speak on her own. Her attitude disgusted both of them.
At this moment, Yue Rusuo was sure that the other party was looking for trouble. Mo Dao has not gone out for tens of thousands of years, could it be that he is crazy? Before, there was Zhu Wuxia who directly picked on Mo Ling's senior Han Sheng, and now this Huangquan Demon Lord seems to be a belligerent.
He came here to assist the new king, so he naturally didn't want to be restrained by Yun Qing too much, but he didn't dare to make trouble with her for a while. Because Mo Ling has not yet officially declared joining the WTO, once he performs a large-scale Taoism in Beichuan Mortal World, then the sect is likely to be dragged down by him and directly involved in disputes before it is ready. Yue Rusuo could only give in to the Demon Venerable for the time being, and wait for the Zongmen's reply before adapting accordingly.
"I'm really ashamed. My clan suffered a lot a thousand years ago, and now that the catastrophe has come, I'm the only one who entered the world. Otherwise, it would be more convenient for the Tai Chi Sword Intent to change the dynasty. "Yue Rusuo answered imperceptibly.
Yun Qing just smiled flatly, and her voice was very steady: "Then I'll wait here, anyway, you just called someone over."
She said this politely, but she turned over the formula in her hand directly, and a huge nine-headed snake pierced through the air like a black lightning, directly hitting Yue Rusuo's front, this giant snake was made of black flames, but It looks lifelike, with cold light shining on its scales, and even the forked snake letter in its mouth can be seen clearly.
The communication order in Yue Rusuo's hand was hot, and it turned into fly ash. His expression changed, and the sword light appeared in his hand, and a dense sword shadow blocked the black snake.
"What exactly does the Demon Lord intend to do!" He took a step back to slow down the huge force of the black snake's impact, and then angrily shouted at Yun Qing.
"Wait for someone..." Yun Qing changed the spell in his hand, and the black giant snake suddenly turned into an image of grabbing pearls and looking at the moon. It raised its head and bypassed the shadow of the sword. With a flick of the snake's tail, it was about to hook the moon like a shuttle .
Although Yue Rusuo is not good at fighting, but at least he is a direct disciple, so he still has this reaction ability. He jumped back, but the long sword in his hand slashed towards the snake's tail, this blow actually forced the black snake back a bit.
Feng Jiang's sword intent focuses on control and defense. It is unlikely that his dodge can keep up with Yun Qing's torrential attack speed, but it is still possible to hold a square inch. He slashed the ground with his sword, and countless sword shadows rose from the ground, completely blocking his surroundings. He pointed his sword at the sky, chanted a mantra, and made a tactic when the black snake couldn't break through the shadow of the sword for the time being. A phantom of a 100-meter-long sword descended from the sky. The phantom was as bright as the sun, and the flames were blazing, and it directly chopped nine snakes into two pieces.
Yun Qing raised her hand to disperse the fragmented nine-headed pannagus, looked at Yue Rusuo and said, "Do you want to try your hand with me first?"
Although Yue Rusuo didn't see her open her eyes, she still felt the huge pressure from the spirit. He was a little uncertain about the other party's realm. After all, there were very few people of the same generation who felt this kind of pressure. This may have something to do with the opponent's kung fu, which is originally focused on the deterrence of the soul, or it may be related to the opponent's temperament.
Yue Rusuo emphasized angrily: "It was the Demon Lord who made the first move!"
He felt that the other party was confusing right and wrong, she was the one who let the snake go without saying a word, how could it be that he wanted to try his hand at this moment
The brilliant sun on the phantom of the huge sword actually began to turn black slightly, but in a blink of an eye, the sword was covered with true flames of the sun and black sky, and the sword body swallowed light and soul, it was very terrifying. What was even more frightening was yet to come. Countless snake heads emerged from the fire. They gnawed at each other, entangled each other and then swallowed them. In the end, only nine fat heads composed of countless snake heads remained. The nine heads were tightly entangled on the sword, their black eyes looking down at the moon like a shuttle below.
Yun Qing smiled gently, but she didn't see any hostility, as if she was making a routine with him: "It's no different, since we've all done it, let's die."
