"I didn't mean anything. What you see is what I meant." Zhao Changhe was too lazy to say any more nonsense. He suddenly got the Dragon Bird in his hand and slashed at his head with the knife.
"Swish!" Zhai Muzhi's sword flashed sharply, and in the blink of an eye it pierced the chest and ribs, completely breaking Zhao Changhe's tentative sword attack.
The guards surrounded him and pointed several swords at Zhao Changhe.
Don't think that Li Shentong knocked Zhai Muzhi and his guards back with just one punch, that was Li Shentong. If it was Zhao Changhe who fought, you would know that he was indeed a tough guy.
Zhai Muzhi said angrily: "You were in Jiangnan a while ago, destroying the evil cult. How come you are now in the same boat with the rebels? Master Tang has treated you well!"
Zhao Changhe was so exhausted that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm very surprised. Doesn't Governor Zhai have the concept of a loyal official getting rid of traitors?"
"What nonsense!" Zhai Muzhi said angrily, "The imperial envoy is here, what can't be said directly? Even if you don't trust Lord Lu, you and I can go to the court and ask His Majesty to make the decision! How can we be in collusion with the rebels and use swords against our colleagues!"
Zhao Changhe was too lazy to talk to him about this nonsense, so he said lazily: "Don't you know that I am a gangster? I don't understand your system of tacit understanding, and I am too lazy to understand. You are a thief who harms the people. I will chop you off with one knife, and the world will be peaceful."
"you!"
Zhao Changhe raised his knife and was about to chop it down.
"Mr. Zhao..." Lu Shouyi behind him suddenly spoke: "With Mr. Zhao's status, if he really wants to kill someone, I'm afraid he does have a reason."
Zhai Muzhi was stunned: "Brother Lu..."
Lu Shouyi sighed: "Brother Zhai, have you really never heard of the rumors?"
Zhai Muzhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and his expression became extremely interesting.
Zhao Changhe is the crown prince... This is indeed not known to everyone. Originally, only a very small number of people knew about it. Later, due to the various rumors spread by the Cui family and the Tang family, more and more people knew about it, and he, Zhai Muzhi, was one of them. But after all, it was only a hint, so it was impossible to make a conclusion.
What's more, Xia Longyuan was extremely tough. Everyone said that something had happened to him, but he had been hanging there for so many years and nothing had changed. Naturally, the discussion about the prince had died down for a long time, and most people took it less and less seriously.
This time, Lu Shouyi reminded Zhai Muzhi of this rumor. According to Lu Shouyi's tone, this matter is very reliable... Thinking about the attitude of the Cui family, the Yang family, and the Tang family towards him... Zhao Changhe seems to be the prince!
If he was the prince, killing himself would not be called rebellion, but rather an incognito patrol to eliminate the treacherous and evil.
But after thinking about this, Zhai Muzhi felt more reassured: "So that's how it is. I confess my guilt to the Crown Prince... Shouldn't the Crown Prince put the overall situation first and punish the traitors first? I am loyal to Daxia even if I have a thousand faults."
Zhao Changhe asked, "Is loyalty enough?"
Before Zhai Muzhi could reply, Lu Shouyi behind him said, "Yes, in today's Daxia, nothing is more important than loyalty."
Zhao Changhe said calmly: "Who do you mean by this?"
"Your Majesty." Lu Shouyi said calmly, "Your Majesty is aware of the various problems in Shu County. Li Si'an's report made it very clear... But Your Majesty asked me to come here this time, claiming to be investigating, but in fact it was clearly intended to protect you."
"Because compared to the current situation of disloyalty, loyalty, or Daxia's recognition, is the most valuable quality?"
"good."
Zhai Muzhi smiled and bowed to the sky: "Your Majesty is wise."
"There is another practical problem." Lu Shouyi said, "Miaojiang is already in chaos. This is an established fact, and the court is unable to suppress it at this time. Compared with letting the Shenhuang Sect and other bandits disrupt Shu, it is better for Governor Zhai to make meritorious contributions and stay in the southwest. Otherwise, once the Miao people leave the border, Shu will be in chaos again, and even the Shenhuang Sect and the Black Miao will join hands. I am afraid that Qianli Tianfu will no longer belong to Daxia..."
Zhao Changhe waved his wrist and sang a long song: "Don't tell me to consider the overall situation. The overall situation is created by oneself, not by endurance. Kill this bastard, and even if the Miao people leave the border, I will kill Lei Zhentang!"
"Clang!" Zhai Muzhi raised his sword.
"This will eventually be your kingdom, I hope your Highness will think twice!" Lu Shouyi stamped his feet anxiously, and was about to persuade him when a golden light suddenly flashed in the sky.
… …
While Zhao Changhe was watching Zhai Mu's vanguard camp, the second Miao alliance was being organized on Cangshan Mountain in Dali.
Lei Zhentang can be said to have bad luck.
At the first meeting, they used the huge indignation of the people and the excuse that their sons died at the hands of the Xia people to gather all ethnic groups to fight against the Xia people. Even if the Bai and Yao people disagreed, they had no choice but to do it together. Once they really killed the Xia people, there would be no turning back.
As a result, a man named Si Laoye suddenly appeared out of nowhere and actually saw through the fact that Lei Ao had faked his death. He was manipulated by his words, and Dao Qingfeng, Pan Wan and others took advantage of the situation to cooperate with him and came up with some kind of crazy alliance of the five tribes.
Originally I thought that it was just a joint meeting and that I could just take three seats and that would be it. However, Si Laoye organized a competition and forced a small tribe of a few hundred people to be stuffed into the joint meeting of five tribes.
That would be fine, as long as the strength is strong enough, the joint meeting is just a joke. But just when the small meeting failed and Lei Zhentang was preparing to pull one against one to make trouble, Shi Wuding turned against him and Wang Daozhong stabbed him in the back. Before Lei Zhentang's ambition could begin, he was injured and lay in bed for a month.
The Black Miao seemed to have stopped in an instant, and watched helplessly as the Spirit Clan gathered the Xia people, gathered in Taoyuan, and formed a huge force.
The good situation turned into a mess, and Lei Zhentang was almost unable to deduce what would happen next.
Damn, the culprit is that Wang Daozhong!
Fortunately, Xiang Simeng suddenly disappeared, and there were no special actions from Taoyuan Town. Everything developed step by step for a month and everything was peaceful.
On this day, news was received that Zhai Muzhi was leading his troops south.
Lei Zhentang's injuries had not yet fully healed, but he knew that this was the last chance to unify the Miao region.
The command of the war must be unified by a leader, and it is easiest to centralize power in this process. There is no need to wait for the war. At the alliance meeting alone, the Eldar, who are now dominated by the Xia people, can be suspected and excluded by all the tribes. Then everything that was done to Simeng and Si Laoye before is just in vain.
In the evening, leaders of various tribes gathered at Cangshan Mountain.
"You, the Spirit Tribe, should not participate in this battle." Lei Zhentang sat high on the position of leader with high spirits, and said to Sisi, "It's not that I, the Black Miao, don't trust you. Ask the other tribes, who dares?"
Sisi looked around and saw that people including Pan Wandao Qingfeng, with whom she had a good relationship before, turned their heads away and didn't look at her.
Taking in the Xia people is a double-edged sword. It may expand your power overnight, but it will also lead to suspicion and exclusion from other tribes. You may not say anything at ordinary times, but when you fight with the Xia people, it will be extremely obvious.
Sisi didn't seem to care. Her beautiful eyes moved and she said with a smile, "Then we will stay in Taoyuan."
Lei Zhentang sneered: "Stay in Taoyuan? This is our heartland. If you are in collusion with the Xia people and stab us from behind, what will we do?"
Sisi smiled and said, "So what does Chief Lei plan to do?" Behind Lei Zhentang stood Lei Ao, who sneered, "Of course, invite the Saint to stay as a guest in Cangshan."
Sisi glanced at him, her eyes flashing with deep disdain. Suddenly she nodded and said with a smile, "There is a guest coming from Xia Country. His family is also rebelling against Xia Country. He came here to contact us to join the uprising. It happened that someone on my side recognized him, so he was brought to Taoyuan. Since you don't trust me, then I will introduce this guest to the meeting and talk with him?"
Everyone thought she was trying to make a final effort to assert her presence and importance, so Pan Wan couldn't bear to exclude her too much, so she said, "Then let's invite the guest to talk first."
Sisi snapped her fingers, and soon after, several young men from the Elf tribe strode up the mountain with an elegant middle-aged man.
The man actually looked quite embarrassed, as if he had been chased for a long time. But even though he looked embarrassed, his demeanor was still there. Everyone could tell at a glance that he was indeed a top master and had been in a high position for a long time.
The visitor arrived at the venue, bowed and said loudly: "I am honored to meet you all on the Langya King's Road..."
Before he finished speaking, Lei Zhentang slammed the table and stood up: "Wang Daozhong! How dare you stand in front of me? Die!"
The table was smashed to pieces by a palm strike, and Lei Zhentang swooped down like an eagle spreading its wings.
Wang Daozhong was dumbfounded, as if the nightmare of Kunlun had reappeared.
How did I inexplicably offend another person on the Earth Ranking? Have I seen you before
"No! I have never been to Miaojiang. If anyone has ever offended you, it must be Zhao Changhe!" Wang Daozhong now knows that he should just ask Zhao Changhe directly about such matters.
Unfortunately, Lei Zhentang didn't believe such empty words and attacked with a palm.
Wang Daozhong had been hunted down for these days and had become a frightened bird. When he found that he could not figure out the situation, he immediately retreated, broke away from the Hei Miao encirclement, and ran down the mountain.
Lei Zhentang chased after him furiously: "You bastard, get away!"
Wang Daozhong turned around and slapped him with his palm. He couldn't help but voice a hint of anger: "Do you really think I'm afraid of a Miao barbarian like you?"
During the days of fleeing in Wang Daozhong, the internal injuries he had inexplicably sustained had almost healed. Xue Canghai had realized something was wrong and didn't dare to chase after him...
As long as we are not surrounded, would the great king really be afraid of a Miao barbarian like you
The two men fought and walked all the way down the mountain, their violent energy destroyed all the grass and trees on the mountain. It was a fight between dragons and tigers, and the road was wiped out...
After a while we reached the foot of the mountain and could vaguely see a mirror-like lake in the distance.
They are even less afraid when they reach the plains and lakes. After all, the mountains are still the Miao people's home ground and they are used to fighting in the mountains. The plains and waterside are their home ground.
He suddenly turned around and stood still, grinning grimly: "Barbarians are afraid of power and have no moral integrity. I have to beat you up so hard that you will talk to me properly!"
The Pai Tian Zhen Hai Palm surged out, extremely powerful and domineering.
Lei Zhentang also sneered: "The people of Middle-earth are self-righteous and do not know the wonderful way!"
Wang Daozhong suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his mind, as if some curse was befalling him, and the palm strike he made became several times weaker.
Lei Zhentang's palms were facing each other at this moment.
Unexpectedly, the palm strike was still evenly matched, but both of them had lost their own protection, and both were injured in the lungs by the other. They both spit out blood and flew backwards.
Because Lei Zhentang was also cursed at the same time.
As Lei Zhentang fell, he was shocked and puzzled. As the most famous wizard in Miao Territory, whose cultivation had overwhelmed the whole territory, whose curse could be effective on him
Turning around, I saw Sisi hanging in the air with her eyes closed, making hand seals, casting an extremely ancient and special curse. No one knew where she learned it from.
"Trap!" A thought flashed through Lei Zhentang's mind, and a sword light suddenly appeared behind a tree beside the road.
A sharp sword light that was extremely similar to Shi Wuding's, with a murderous aura that could destroy the world, pierced straight into his back.
Han Wubing!
It was indeed a trap, a trap planned by Sisi...
Wang Daozhong himself didn't know, so how could Sisi not know Lei Zhentang's deep hatred for Wang Daozhong? Only if Wang Daozhong appeared, would it be possible for Lei Zhentang to break away from the tribe and pursue alone, and only Wang Daozhong's strength could face Lei Zhentang head-on.
When the battle was fierce, he used the witchcraft he had just learned from his ancestral land and Han Wubing's sword to launch a sneak attack at the same time. It was not certain whether he could successfully kill the Earth Ranking, but at least he could make him lie down for another month.
It is unknown who will own the Miao territory by then!
Wounded and cursed, and thrown into the air, how could Lei Zhentang escape Han Wubing's life-threatening sword
"Roar!" Lei Zhentang drew the sword in his heart without any suspense, and let out an angry roar. It was unknown what kind of witchcraft that overdrafted his potential was used. He slapped Wang Daozhong away with one palm, forced Han Wubing back with another palm, and staggered towards the mountain.
The Black Miao people rushed over to meet their leader.
Sisi passed through the chaotic black seedling formation like the wind, and her dagger was bright red when she left.
"Young Clan Leader, Young Clan Leader!" Hei Miao finally took the clan leader back, only to find that Young Clan Leader Lei Ao had fallen backwards, holding his throat.
Poor guy, he pretended to be dead for a month, and just when he stopped pretending, he was really dead when he came out.
Wang Daozhong looked at this chaos as if in a dream. He wanted to ask Han Wubing a few questions, but Han Wubing ignored him. After observing for a while and making sure that it was impossible to break into the Black Miao formation and kill people, he shook his head and left.
Wang Daozhong paused and ran away.
There was a flash of golden light in the sky.
"In June, Lei Zhentang gathered hundreds of tribes at the top of Cangshan Mountain, intending to unify Miao territory and establish his own regime. It happened that Wang Daozhong was fleeing here, and upon hearing about it, he came to the meeting and wanted to form an alliance with the Black Miao. Lei Zhentang was inexplicably furious and attacked him violently."
"Wang Daozhong fought and retreated, Lei Zhentang chased him down the mountain. The spirits cast a strange spell on Simeng, Han Wubing took advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack, and teamed up with Wang Daozhong to severely injure Lei Zhentang on the bank of Mirror Lake."
"Hei Miao risked his life to rescue Lei Zhentang, Xiang Simeng easily defeated Lei Ao in the chaos, and Wang Daozhong escaped in the chaos."
"However, the plan to unify the Black Miao failed twice, and the Miao region fell into chaos again, all thanks to Daozhong."
"Han Wubing and the others joined forces to launch a surprise attack. Although their achievements were remarkable, it is difficult to change their ranking."
"Xiang Simeng has gained a place on the human ranking list after breaking through the secret treasure. The person who was promoted due to the death of Ying Shuang before was squeezed out of the ranking list because he did not break through the secret treasure."
"Number seventy-two on the Human Ranking, Ancient Spirit Saint Xiang Simeng."
"Old trip to Yangzhou... I should be thin because of this, and I should be ashamed for my lover."
