Dao Lu Si·Chengnan branch view
About half a mile north of the street, this place was originally a temple. It fell into disrepair for a long time. It was later repaired by the Daolu Department and turned into a Taoist temple. Now the presiding officer is Ye Xu.
It can be said that this Taoist Ye Xu is very talented. He devoted himself to studying when he was young and became a host at the age of twenty-three. He understands fortune telling, knows wind and wind, and has medical skills. He has a good reputation in the neighborhood.
At this moment, Ye Xu frowned and saw that there were still believers burning incense, so he said: "I will hold a blessing today, you can come back tomorrow."
After all the believers dispersed, Ye Xu ordered the incense Taoist priest: "Everyone goes to work. Those who are not alive can go back to their rooms and meditate."
For a moment, all the incense and Taoists dispersed, and the hall immediately seemed empty. The sun shone down, bringing some warmth, but Ye Xu couldn't feel it. He paced back and forth, feeling uneasy. He stretched out his hands to rub his face, his expression was gloomy, and he raised his head from time to time: "Why? I feel uneasy, could it be that?"
"This is not my fault."
Ye Xu gritted his teeth, and a cold voice came out from between his teeth. His eyes were bloodshot. His initial hesitation became firmer with his voice: "You regard your ministers as your hands and feet, your ministers regard you as your belly and heart, you regard your ministers as earth and mustard." , I treat you like a bandit, and since the Xu Dynasty does not care about us Taoist officials and drives us like pigs and dogs, why should I sacrifice my life?"
Ye Xu said to himself, when he suddenly heard a "clang" of the door being kicked open, he looked forward and saw soldiers rushing in. Although he vaguely predicted that disaster was coming, he still looked frightened.
"Ye Xu, your matter has been revealed." The leader Shi Chang had a sneer on his face. Ye Xu's body trembled and he immediately turned around to run away. Then another Taoist official scolded him: "You still want to run away!"
Ye Xu's whole body was shaken and he couldn't move immediately. He looked at it and ordered: "Take it with you!"
Immediately two armored soldiers rushed forward and dragged Ye Xu out. The official shook his head: "Ye Xu, why are you doing this? Our magic power is all given by the dragon's energy. You should face the official document, and Any luck? With one order, the mana is taken away."
Having said this, the Taoist official couldn't help but feel sad and sighed. This time, Ye Xu was not the only one to be captured
Prince Lu's Mansion
King Lu held the book in his hand and frowned. He had been feeling a little restless these days, and the recent news on the book was a bit negative. The imperial army refused to fight in the field and only defended sneak attacks. His side was gradually depleted, but there was no improvement. Thinking like this, King Lu looked gloomy: "Hey, once Xie Chengdong leaves, it will be difficult for me to move forward."
Thinking about it, his eyes were a little glazed over. The figure of Li Cheng (the blind Taoist) suddenly flashed in King Lu's mind, and he slowly became suspicious again. He thought to Zhezi: "Why did I want to kill this person? Why did this person escape in advance?" ,What happened?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news, good news." After thinking about it, Eunuch Liao rushed in from outside the palace, with a happy face. King Lu listened, and swept around and waved his hand, and the eunuchs and maids all left one after another.
Eunuch Liao came in, knelt down and performed the usual rituals. King Lu picked up a cup of tea. The faint fragrance of the tea was refreshing. He smacked it with his lips. After thinking for a while, he said: "What's all this fuss about? Is there such a thing?" How decent?"
Eunuch Liao bowed: "Yes, I'm rude, but we received news from Dao Lu Division secretly that the prince finally became suspicious of Pei Ziyun and secretly recalled Pei Ziyun to the capital."
As he spoke, Eunuch Liao sneered. King Lu had a headache at first, but now he stood up in surprise after listening to the report: "What? The prince has become suspicious of Pei Ziyun, and has Pei Ziyun come to Beijing?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is great news. I didn't expect the imperial court to be so short-sighted. It is said that the late emperor had an edict and had opinions on Pei Ziyun."
"The prince ascended the throne and usurped the throne. I originally relied on this person, but now camps have been set up to surround us, so I think Pei Ziyun is no longer needed."
Eunuch Liao said, and couldn't help showing his joy. King Lu was really the son of destiny. He was already in crisis, but he didn't expect that the court would be in civil strife at this time. It was really God's will.
Seeing that King Lu was still doubtful, Eunuch Liao smiled apologetically: "There is another factor, but it is Prince Chengshun."
Speaking of King Lu's younger brother, Eunuch Liao lowered his voice and whispered: "The prince is old and has a heroic temperament. Although he is just on the stage, he has gained a lot of prestige when he defeated the Northern Marquis of Ji. This time No matter how successful it is, I'm afraid... there are already rumors in the court that the prince is quite like his majesty... "
Before he finished speaking, King Lu waved his hand to stop the words, but he couldn't help but laugh, exhaled a long breath, his eyebrows stretched out at this time, and sat down after laughing: "I'm afraid that my younger brother will become the second one again. Me!"
"The prince is narrow-minded, how can he succeed?" King Lu sneered, and slowly regained his composure. He continued to read the information in his hand, sorted and unfolded it, and after a while he said: "I know the prince's temper very well. I am so indecisive and so feminine that I cannot tolerate others, so God has helped me.”
King Lu said, feeling his mood evaporate, and added: "The book says that due to Pei Ziyun's departure, the old and new factions are confronting each other. If you go to investigate again, if it is true, immediately contact the secret that I set up back then, and cooperate with me to solve the problem immediately. Got to this camp."
"You have often been out to supervise the army in the past few years, and you have some experience. This investigation is of great concern. You must handle things carefully and never let me down."
After hearing this, Eunuch Liao kowtowed and replied in a generous tone: "I will go through fire and water without hesitation, and I will never let down the emperor's great kindness."
Yuanle County
Yuanle County has a long history. It was originally a village, and later developed into Yuanle County. In the previous dynasty, it was changed to Yuanle County, with five counties under its jurisdiction.
This mansion is located in the county town. It looks inconspicuous, but it is also the property of a large family. It will not attract the prying eyes of government servants and gangsters. It can be said to be hidden in the city.
The blind Taoist vomited on the couch in the secret room. He heard a "pop" sound, opened his eyes, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out and sprinkled on the ground. This black blood was like sulfuric acid, and as soon as it was sprinkled, it corroded everything.
"The backlash of the dragon's energy is really powerful, and now it's all gone." Blind Taoist said with lingering fear. The last time he had the backlash, his physical body was also damaged by the dragon's energy. After saying that, he stood up. The scribe stood to one side, holding a case file in his hand. When the blind Taoist woke up, he stepped forward and handed it over: "Your Majesty, the Daolu Department of the imperial court has sent information to King Lu, and the demon clan we installed in King Lu has forwarded the information to us."
"Huh?" The blind Taoist looked at it, a little surprised, calmed down, and pondered: "This information says that the emperor is suspicious of Pei Ziyun, and has announced that Pei Ziyun has come to Beijing, and even Prince Chengshun is involved. ?”
"Yes, Your Majesty, Prince Chengshun is also among them. It is said that Pei Ziyun left, the camp was divided, and there are many hidden dangers. King Lu seems to be interested in defeating it in one fell swoop." The scribe bowed and said.
The blind Taoist knocked on the table, thinking about it, and then said for a moment: "There is something wrong with this information. I always feel a little uneasy when I see it."
The scribe was well aware of the Demon King's spiritual awareness, so he took a step forward and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you think the information is untrue?"
"It's hard to say, but it's not true. It may not be a bad thing for us, or can we use it as a trick?" The blind Taoist stood up and took two steps, gradually showing a cold smile: "Since we left, King Lu has become suspicious of our demon clan. "
"Although it is impossible to know who the demon clan is, the dragon aura has a spirit and subconsciously hates it. Therefore, many of our generals are gradually ostracized."
"In this case, no matter whether King Lu succeeds or not, we will not be able to gain any favors. Instead of doing this, we might as well take advantage of him."
The blind Taoist said, with cold eyes. He originally wanted to use dragon energy to achieve it, but he didn't expect that Pei Ziyun arrived at the blessed land. In order to kill this person and seize the origin, he had to extract dragon energy and launch the Ten Thousand Demons Array, but he didn't achieve it. The purpose is to let Pei Ziyun escape, so there are two things to rely on.
Speaking of regret, the blind Taoist must have it, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said coldly: "Now King Lu's dragon energy is backlashing us, and the dragon energy we can get is very little. I have made up my mind, reincarnation platform Prepare to move away from the blessed land.”
The scribe listened, shocked and dissuaded: "Your Majesty, if the reincarnation platform stays in the blessed land, we can still help each other in the same boat. If we leave, Long Qi may be merciless and strike with thunder."
"Hmph, I know, that's why I have to prepare for a rainy day." The blind Taoist opened his mouth, with thin and sharp teeth, which gave people a deep chill and creepy look.
"King Lu can win mostly because of the strength of our clan. What do you think will happen to him if we suddenly withdraw our strength?"
"This, of course, brings it back to its original form." The scribe murmured.
"Yes, let Pei Ziyun and King Lu fight to the death. If you withdraw your strength at the critical moment, King Lu will be defeated. The defeat will be like a mountain, and the dragon's energy will collapse accordingly, and the reincarnation platform can be separated."
"If you still have some spare time, we can lure Pei Ziyun into the city and gather our strength to give Pei Ziyun a thunderous blow. If done, our demon tribe will lay the foundation for eternity."
"No, the platform of reincarnation has been built. I still have a secret hand, so I will cut off my tail and hide. I can keep my roots. But I don't have the face to fight for the position of the Demon King anymore." The blind Taoist said with a sense of determination and a hint of determination. Sadly.
"Your Majesty..." The scribe murmured to himself as he listened to the blind Taoist's words, tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
A hundred miles away from the camp
In early spring, the snow was still very heavy, and the mountains that stretched for hundreds of miles were shrouded in snow. A galloping horse came rushing forward. The horse covered in mud and snow had just stood firm when a soldier rolled down from the saddle and gave a military salute to Pei Ziyun. Report: "Zhenjun, we have patrolled the surrounding area and there is still no enemy within a hundred miles."
The snow fell and spread on the ground, and six thousand cavalrymen hid in temporary tents and waited for orders.
Pei Ziyun looked at it. This was almost the last cavalry squeezed out by the imperial court. There were not many cavalry in Zhongyuan, and the losses in successive battles were considerable. The cavalry was a special type, so it was really difficult to replenish it.
Pei Ziyun was calculating the secrets at this time, and a plum blossom appeared in the center of his eyebrows, indicating good or bad luck.
The "ding" calculation took longer than usual, and then with a sound, the result appeared: "Good luck or bad luck."
Looking at the result, Pei Ziyun smiled bitterly: "The heavenly secrets are confused, and the earthly immortal's perception is also blurred."
Pei Ziyun looked at the sky, where heavy snowflakes were falling, and felt the chaos of heaven. He sighed: "King Lu really has a master. The dragon energy covers up the military energy, messes up the energy, and makes it unpredictable."
"But in this case, I have to confuse it even more so that no one can detect it."
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun was just a little bit, a plum blossom flashed by, and the whole sky suddenly became as chaotic as snowflakes.
