The battle situation at the bottom of the Taimiao was stranger than anyone expected.
When Wang Daoning was still being dragged by Tang Wanzhuang, the time estimated by his companions had already exceeded. Originally, everyone was complaining in their hearts. Every second of delay added a little more pressure on everyone. In a battle with a strong man like Xia Longyuan, losing a main force in the realm of control is no joke!
But we can't wait for Wang Daoning to finish before we start working. Xia Longyuan is not stupid. If there is a fight in the palace, he will naturally go out. Once he goes out, everything will collapse. The fake goods will be useless. All the palace guards will be at his service. If he wants to run, it will be very easy. No one can stop him. So he must be blocked in the secret place at the bottom of the Taimiao in advance, and the secret place he created for himself will become his tomb.
I originally thought that without Wang Daoning, everyone would be scattered very quickly, and some might even die...
But the facts proved that Xia Longyuan seemed to be too weak. The negative impact of the three previous methods of using the Dragon Vein and Luck on him far exceeded the expected effect, and the effect was surprisingly good!
It's like a person who has crossed the river has returned to the bridge. After the bridge is demolished, it's not just going backwards, but falling into the river, which is more painful than going backwards. This is not going backwards, it's clearly a backlash!
Before going out to sea, Zhao Changhe once said to Xia Longyuan, "The water that overturned the boat is the tears of the common people; you won't know it until it flows across the river."
Xia Longyuan thought it was childish and sneered.
Of course, most of the people who were besieging him were doing it for their own benefit or personal vendetta, and none of them had anything to do with the people. Even if there were some who were doing it for the people, they were only superficially concerned, and just felt that you deserved to be killed, and that I would fight you, without any more detailed and comprehensive considerations. To say that they were mostly doing it for the people was not really true, and it would be more accurate to say that they were doing it for their own sake...
But why did their three-pronged strategy of luck and dragon vein work, and the effect was better than expected? This is the key.
Xia Longyuan clearly knew that Maitreya was deceiving Jiangnan and colluding with officials, but he did nothing, just to lure out the gods and demons behind Maitreya, and let the situation deteriorate. Maitreyaism swept across Jiangnan, and thousands of miles of bones were left. Who should be blamed for this? Of course, it cannot be blamed on Maitreya alone. Sighing and hating Yu Huanling is also a common view.
If it weren't for Tang Wanzhuang and Zhao Changhe's efforts to save Su Yang and Tang Buqi's awakening and organizing resistance, Jiangnan would still be in a state of mourning, and who knows how many more people would have died. How could there be the current recovery? During the war, except for Tang Wanzhuang's efforts to mobilize some supplies, the court did not send a single soldier to help. When the people of Jiangnan thought of these people's kindness, what did they think of the emperor
Did Xia Longyuan know that Zhai Muzhi had poisoned Bashu and forced Miaojiang to rebel? He knew, but he took sides and said, "At least he is loyal to me," and sent Lu Shouyi to support him. If he didn't let Tang Wanzhuang down, then he didn't let Zhai Muzhi down either.
Why did he support Zhai Muzhi? Because he knew that there were not many local forces that recognized him as their leader. Zhai Muzhi, a blood-sucking worm that completely relied on the Great Xia Empire, was the one who supported him the most. If he had to choose between Zhai Muzhi and Tang Buqi, who could only stay, who would he choose
What do the hundreds of tribes in Miaojiang and the millions of people in Bashu think? Where does Li Shentong's ambition to make blood splatter within five steps come from
There are thousands of Zhai Muzhi in the world, and they are all reflections of Xia Longyuan. Uprisings are everywhere, and there are smoke of war everywhere. There is more than just Li Shentong!
I trust Zhai Muzhi, but I don't trust Huangfu Yongxian. His family is full of loyal and brave people, and he wants to leave his only remaining son as a hostage. Is Huangfu Qing's hatred and raging demonic fire really just because of the doctrine
It was obvious that they could cooperate with the Four Symbols Saint Maiden in a bloodless way, but in the end, the Saint Maiden died and the young girl was left alone. Sanniang knew that Zhao Changhe wanted to protect him, so she didn't come to the capital. Why? If they came, they would have to take action, and they didn't want to embarrass Zhao Changhe.
The Wang family's rebellious intentions were obvious so early on. For the sake of the Sea Emperor, he had to wait for the Wang family to start a rebellion, and he even almost killed Cui Wenjing who defended him.
There are so many things like this. Some officials may think that they have not committed any great sins. Those who know a little about the inside story may think that some of the foolish political actions were done by the fake ones. But if we count the real ones, which one was done by a human? Even the fake ones' political nonsense was his responsibility to stay out of the world.
After all, he has to practice and play games with gods and demons, so he has no time to deal with these trivial matters.
This is not just Huan Ling. The attributes of any last emperor can be found in him. If it weren't for his military power, the world would have been in chaos ten years ago. Zhao Changhe witnessed all of this himself, so even though he was naturally close to him, he still felt that Xia Longyuan would die at the hands of the heroes of the world sooner or later, not at the hands of some gods or demons.
Today, Zhao Changhe's premonition has finally been confirmed. The mountains and rivers are broken, the dragon energy is shaken, the whole world is in rebellion, and no one recognizes the king.
This is not something that can be accomplished by just a few people. It is the final feedback from the people. They just found the key.
To achieve the Tao by controlling the world, but to suffer backlash with the world, this is natural, even the Hu God had foreseen this day.
Ying Wu and Yang Jingxiu, who had participated in the battle of Xuewu, both felt that Xia Longyuan was not much stronger than Xuewu at this moment... He was certainly at an upper hand as he was fighting against many enemies alone, and everyone was under great pressure, but Xia Longyuan's attempt to break out was ultimately unsuccessful, and he was blocked back several times by everyone who risked their lives.
If Wang Daoning knew the situation here, he would not be so anxious to come back, and would settle the situation first... But who could have thought that it would have such a good effect? When he was fighting Tang Wanzhuang, at least 70% of his mind was here. The fact that he failed to defeat Tang Wanzhuang quickly was also largely due to his lack of concentration...
Of course he couldn't come too late, otherwise there would be casualties.
When Wang Daoning arrived in a hurry, the first thing he saw was a terrifying golden wave of air bursting out from around Xia Longyuan, which shook away all the opponents who approached him, and his right hand went straight to the center and hit Li Gongsi's chest!
Wang Daoning knew at a glance that Li Gongsi could not escape, and would be seriously injured if not killed!
"Boom!" Pai Tian Zhen Hai Palm arrived from afar and collided with Xia Longyuan's dragon fist. Both sides shook slightly. Li Gongsi took the opportunity to retreat, sweating coldly: "Brother Wang, you come at the right time!" Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief. They were originally under great pressure, but this time Yu Jing came up in time, and it should be possible to settle the matter.
However, to everyone's surprise, Xia Longyuan actually put away his fist and stood up: "I have waited for you for a little too long... You are even more useless than I thought."
Wang Daoning was stunned: "Wait for me?"
"If there were casualties here before you came here, would you flee to the East China Sea when you saw the situation was not good? I can't say for sure, so it's better to wait for you to come."
Everyone's expressions became a little strange. Everyone here is a top martial artist. They all know that your embarrassment just now didn't seem like an act... It's okay to fool everyone, but you couldn't fool yourself, right
Of course, Xia Longyuan wanted to pretend to be cool and talk, but no one was too lazy to interrupt him. It was really too stressful just now, and everyone was now taking the time to catch their breath and rest.
Wang Daoning was stunned for a moment, and also laughed: "If you are just acting, it means that you have the ability to save Tang Wanzhuang, but you didn't do it? Interesting, even Wang should feel sorry for her."
Xia Longyuan shook his head: "I'm not saying that I have the strength to break out quickly on my own. As you can see, I am indeed in a very bad state now. It's a bit embarrassing to rely on myself."
Wang Daoning was a little surprised. It was not easy for Xia Longyuan to admit that he was weak and embarrassed. He thought that he would be stubborn, which was more in line with his temperament. But since he admitted that he was declining, what did he mean by what he said just now
But Xia Longyuan continued, "What I mean is that some things will be better done with you present. If you are not here, the effect will not be very good, and it is likely that both sides will suffer. In fact, if Wen Jing is here, it will be even better... I suspect that Wen Jing's absence this time is not because of his injury. He should have recovered after so long... He may not come because he had a premonition of something."
Wang Daoning laughed. He felt that Xia Longyuan was a little crazy. It would be easier for him to come. "I wonder what your majesty's plan is. Everyone is all ears."
Xia Longyuan looked around and saw the four magic swords shining brightly. It was the effect of the sword formation of these four swords that made him most uncomfortable just now. The restrictions were ridiculously great, and it felt like they were counteracting each other.
"I have been thinking that if I was attacked by the energy of mountains and rivers, I should bear the consequences... What about you?" Xia Longyuan pointed at the four swords and said slowly: "These swords of rivers in the world... It is natural for them to rebel against me. But before that, they are first your swords... The sword spirits fell asleep earlier, firstly because I plundered half of their soul power, and secondly because your intentions were contrary to it and could not be reconciled. But you seem to have forgotten the second point and all relegated it to the first point? Wen Jing has always known, do you know?"
The three heads of the families looked at each other, and finally had some ominous premonitions in their hearts.
"Don't you know whether you, Wang Daoning, are worthy of governing the East China Sea? Do you, Yang Jingxiu, deserve to look at the mountains and rivers? And you, Li Gongsi..." Xia Longyuan paused, as if mocking, "You opened the gates and released the city, colluded with the Hu people, and poisoned Guanzhong. Who did you flatten with your Pinglong sword?"
"Boom!" The four divine swords began to shake.
Li Gongsi took a step back and said, "You knew about it, but you ignored it. Are you waiting for this day?"
Li Shentong's expression changed drastically.
"Yes, if I say so, my ghost fire son-in-law will still scold me for being an inhuman. But in my opinion, I don't think I have done anything wrong." Xia Longyuan smiled: "Human? How many people in this world are human!"
As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his finger and flicked it.
Four groups of mist entered into the four magic swords respectively. The magic swords shook even more violently, as if different auras were being expelled.
"Half of your sword spirits are with me... If you rely on the Yin energy of the sea tribe to replenish your spirit, will the sword spirits that wake up still be the same sword spirits? Let me restore them... After they are restored, ask them, if they want to rebel against me, what about you who attracted the Yin energy of foreign tribes to replenish your sword spirits in order to rebel and kill the king? The divine sword has a spirit, it will not have double standards like humans."
"Swish, swish, swish!" In addition to Qinghe, three other swords suddenly rose into the air and pointed directly at their masters.
Only Qinghe Sword was left standing quietly in place, and his target was still... Xia Longyuan.
Xia Longyuan didn't care and sighed softly: "Qinghe actually has an owner... It recognizes both the Cui brothers and sisters... How to choose is really a happy trouble."
