Chapter 147 Breaking through the peak of outer power, troubled times are coming!
Chapter 147 Breaking through the peak of outer power, troubled times are coming!
The capital, the imperial city.
Clouds brushed past the gilded eaves of the nine-story palace. A young eunuch was holding a memorial and kneeling in front of the altar. He said respectfully to the wise emperor who was sitting high above him on the steps, "Your Majesty, I have a memorial."
"Ah."
The aged Emperor Yongchang sat on the black sandalwood throne under the golden pillar with coiled dragons, his wrinkled eyelids half closed. He just hummed softly, raised his skinny fingers, stretched them slightly, and the memorial fell into the hands of Emperor Yongchang.
After just a quick glance, Emperor Yongchang couldn't help but chuckle and said, "My two brothers finally can't hold back anymore?"
"His Majesty."
Cai Kang, the ancestor of the Cai family, stood aside, wearing a first-class military robe, and said to Emperor Yongchang: "The King of Wei and the King of Han rebelled because of the instigation of the two thieves Yang Hui and Yang Hong. The main culprits of this rebellion are these two thieves. I am willing to personally lead the army and fight against the two thieves for Your Majesty!"
"I have always known that Cai Qing is loyal."
Emperor Yongchang shook his head and continued, "But I have already chosen the general to lead the army to fight against the rebellion. I'd better let Duke Yue lead the army. Duke Yue is the pillar of the country and is a master at commanding troops. With Duke Yue as my commander, I have nothing to worry about!"
As Emperor Yongchang finished speaking, an old general standing in front of the palace, who was also very old and had white hair and beard, immediately opened his eyes and shouted like thunder, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "I will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations!"
"Thank you, my dear."
Emperor Yongchang said with a smile: "Order all the northern troops to go out, and send 100,000 soldiers from Zhili and Guanzhong to Duke Yue. I hope Duke Yue can defeat the enemy in one battle and put an end to the war."
Upon hearing this, Duke Yue couldn't help but take a deep breath. When he was about to say something, a eunuch suddenly trotted into this "Imperial Upper Class Yuandan Gathering".
"Your Majesty, urgent news--!!!"
"In the land of Jiangzhou and Jinling, Xiao Luan plotted rebellion and usurped the throne, calling himself the 'Emperor of Daliang'!"
The eunuch gasped for air, his eyes slightly horrified, and kowtowed to Emperor Yongchang, saying: "The Chen, Wang, and Xie families have all responded, Jiangzhou, Jiazhou, and Pingzhou have all rebelled!"
"Um?!"
Emperor Yongchang was startled. Before he could react, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from the sky. A jade talisman suddenly fell from the sky. Upon closer inspection, it was an urgent talisman from Suzhou thousands of miles away.
Open the jade talisman, the content is extremely urgent.
Huyang Chanyu of the Western Di Dynasty led 300,000 soldiers and crossed the Great Wall to attack Yugu County. The situation was extremely urgent!
Upon seeing this scene, Emperor Yongchang's expression suddenly became solemn and his cloudy pupils suddenly became clear like a sword out of its sheath, causing the eunuchs of low realm who were bowing their heads in front of the steps to break out in cold sweat.
"I appointed Xiao Luan as the governor of Jiangzhou, Wang Dao as the governor of Jiazhou, and Xie Huan as the governor of Pingzhou. I did not pursue the Chen family's involvement in the rebellion of Southern Chu. I am so magnanimous, but they are trying to learn from the traitor Lu on the isolated island?"
Emperor Yongchang was somewhat angry and said sternly: "Is this how they repay me?!"
"My brothers are against me, the ungrateful people in the South are plotting a rebellion, and the Western Di people are joining in the fun? Do you really think I'm made of paper?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the pressure came out. Emperor Yongchang stood up immediately, and his unfathomable phoenix eyes shone like cold stars from behind the dangling gilded crown tassels: "Pass on my order, the northern and southern armies will march out together, and leave the crown prince to supervise the country!"
"I will personally lead the army to conquer the kings of Han and Wei first, then pacify the Western Di, and then head south to target the traitorous Xiao family!"
……
The Kangle County Magistrate's Mansion is filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
Cai Anyun stood near the retreat room, watering the flowers aimlessly, looking quite absent-minded.
She also didn't know when her husband would come out.
She also has a surprise for her husband.
Thinking of this, Cai Anyun's cheeks turned slightly red. In her palm, there was a box of ointment, which was the same body-refining holy ointment "Red Lotus Ointment" as that of Zheng Jun's brother-in-law.
Cai Anyun had asked the Cai family for this ointment for a long time, but the family did not approve it. Cai Anyun then wrote a letter to her brother, and just a few days ago, this brother Cai Kai wrote back from Qingzhou and sent back a portion of "Red Lotus Ointment".
Cai Kai was also very helpless about his sister's actions.
But there was no other way. He couldn't just ignore his sister, a sister born of the same mother. Ever since their mother's death, the family had always treated them as "goods" to be traded. Now that his sister had found a good husband, if he, as the elder brother, didn't give her some sense of presence, he probably didn't know what kind of grievances his sister would suffer in Kangle County.
However, Zheng Jun has been in seclusion since he came back, which makes Cai Anyun feel a little bored. So she can only raise some flowers and plants while waiting for Zheng Jun to come out.
And she never neglected her own practice.
In this situation, Qingdai suddenly came over from not far away and whispered to Cai Anyun: "Madam, Chen Junwei just sent a message that someone has come to your house."
"Someone's coming to my house?"
Cai Anyun was greatly surprised and could not help asking, "Who is here?"
Qing Dai immediately said, "The man who came claimed to be your sixteenth uncle."
"Uncle Sixteen?"
After hearing Qingdai's words, Cai Anyun was obviously surprised.
The head of the Cai family naturally does not have so many biological brothers. This "Sixteenth Uncle" is a member of the same generation of the Cai family. He is the cousin of Cai Anyun's side branch, Cai Yanbo.
However, this sixteenth uncle is quite famous. He has been practicing in seclusion for more than fifty years and has mastered the Cai family's magical power "Qi Tun Shanhe". His practice has reached the peak of the outer Gang. Among the many outer Gangs of the Cai family, he is one of the few who has the greatest hope of being promoted to Tongqiao.
Moreover, recently, the ancestor of the clan was appointed as the Jiedushi of Bozhou by Emperor Yongchang, and the family has more means and methods to obtain resources. In addition, the ancestor demonstrated his Yuandan skills in the capital, and the original Cai family members have been promoted rapidly like a blowout. In just a few months, there are more than ten more outer gangs.
And this sixteenth uncle is also practicing diligently within the family, waiting to achieve a breakthrough.
How come Uncle Sixteen is here now?
Seeing Cai Anyun so surprised, Qingdai immediately added: "To answer Madam, not only did your sixteenth uncle come, he also brought three hundred black-armored soldiers, exactly the same as the one hundred black-armored soldiers that General Zhuo brought before."
After hearing Qingdai's words, Cai Anyun's expression became a little more serious.
Black-armored warrior?
Cai Anyun naturally knew this, as he was a private soldier raised by his family.
Cai Anyun didn't know the exact number. After all, such secrets were only known by the top members of the family, and as a junior, she would naturally not be involved in this circle.
But this number will definitely not be too large.
And now, this sixteenth uncle has brought three hundred soldiers with him. It seems... something big is going to happen.
"Let Uncle Sixteen sit in the front room first. Sanlang is still in seclusion practicing. I will go there later." Cai Anyun took a deep breath and instructed Qingdai.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Qingdai immediately left.
Then, Cai Anyun took a deep breath, put down the cultivation tools in her hands, changed into a dignified and elegant "mistress" dress, and walked towards the front hall.
In the front hall of Kangle County Magistrate's Mansion, Cai Yanbo was sitting upright with a solemn expression.
Cai Yanbo was wearing a slightly faded blue-gray Taoist robe. He was quite thin. He held a half-worn copper-handled whisk in one hand and placed it across his knees. The other hand was kept in his sleeve in the Qingxin Jue. A few strands of hair like dry grass hung down from his gray hair that was hastily tied up with a wooden hairpin.
He looks like a man who is practicing asceticism.
Next to Cai Yanbo sat two black-armored generals who looked similar to Zhuo Xin. They both wore black devil masks and looked as if they didn't want anyone to approach them.
There was no one else, only maids from the Cai family and Jishidiang standing on both sides.
Not long after, Cai Anyun came slowly, leaning out of the door frame with the help of red lacquer and carved flowers, and saluted Cai Yanbo with a deliberately slow gait and unfamiliar reserve, "Uncle."
Cai Anyun is trying hard to imitate the mother in her memory and pretend that she is a mature hostess.
"Ok?"
Cai Yanbo was startled when he saw Cai Anyun like this, and then he laughed and said, "Anjun, your outfit is quite peculiar... If Erlang saw it, he would definitely be shocked."
"Uncle, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."
Cai Anyun blushed slightly, and then, with the help of two old ladies, she sat on the main seat and asked Cai Yanbo, "Uncle came here with a black-armored warrior. I wonder if my father has something to tell General Zheng?"
"It is indeed an important matter."
Cai Yanbo nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "The clan received a message from the old patriarch, ordering me to recruit 300 black-armored soldiers to come and help Zheng Sanlang."
After that, Cai Yanbo continued, "The clan hopes that Zheng Sanlang can lead the troops to conduct exercises and go to Changyang County in the name of arresting thieves."
"Changyang County?"
Cai Anyun opened his mouth slightly, a little puzzled: "Uncle, Changyang County is under the jurisdiction of our Great Zhou, is this..."
"The King of Wei and the King of Han are about to rebel, but my family is deeply blessed by the Emperor!"
Cai Yanbo was very serious: "Yang Li, the governor of Changyang County, is from the Yang family in the capital! The King of Han and the King of Wei are both descendants of the late Empress Yang, the Divine Martial Gaowen! The Yang family has two Yuandan ancestors and fourteen Tongqiao warriors. If the two kings of Wei and Han rebel, the Yang family will definitely come out in full force! This Yang Li is a thorn in Bozhou!"
"Changyang County controls the lifeline of Bozhou and can block the main roads connecting Bozhou and Jinzhou. These important places are in the hands of Yang Li. If the kings of Han and Wei rebel, the consequences will be disastrous!"
The King of Wei was granted land in today's state, and the King of Han was granted land in Pengzhou.
Jinzhou is adjacent to Pengzhou, and now the important roads of Bozhou are in the hands of the Yang family, which is not a good thing.
Therefore, it is necessary to send troops to monitor Yang Li, so that once the war breaks out, Changyang County and Yang Li can be captured as soon as possible.
Although the Cai family has deployed military forces in Bozhou, they dare not take large-scale action before the death of Emperor Shenwu. Currently in Bozhou, the closest army to Changyang is Zheng Jun, who is in charge of the military affairs of Pingzhang and Kangle counties.
Only Zheng Jun can mobilize the army to target Yang Li!
As for Isao Harimoto?
He had been defeated in Xuanzhou and fled alone.
His whereabouts are still unknown, but according to rumors, Zhang Bengong could no longer make it in the north, so he passed through Longzhou and headed south to continue to grow in the south.
The plan was very good, but what Cai Yanbo didn't expect was that Zheng Jun had actually gone into seclusion and had not yet come out.
No.
What's going on?
Didn’t you just break through to the third level of outer power a month ago?
Why are you going into seclusion again now? Are you trying to break through?
This sudden scene really caught Cai Yanbo off guard, and for a moment he didn't know what to do next.
When Cai Anyun heard this and was about to say something, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from the backyard, which startled Cai Anyun.
Not only Cai Anyun was stunned, Cai Yanbo also frowned and stood up in surprise, his thin face was quite shocked!
"This is……"
Cai Yanbo muttered to himself, but before he could finish, he felt an overwhelming pressure coming, and an indescribable feeling was spreading: "Did Zheng Sanlang break through?!"
Cai Yanbo's eyes were filled with horror.
As a martial artist at the peak of the outer realm, and one who has the potential to break through to the Tongqiao realm, he naturally knew what the gust of air coming from the backyard was.
True essence...
It's actually Zhen Yuan? !
According to his niece, Zheng Jun was the only one in seclusion in the entire county magistrate's office.
Could it be that Zheng Jun is breaking through?
How can this be?
It took him two months to break through to the third level of outer power?
He has only been practicing martial arts for less than two years, how could he possibly achieve a breakthrough? !
For a moment, Cai Yanbo was really out of control.
He felt the majestic aura, as if even his own cultivation was suppressed a little.
Cai Anyun, who was standing by, was surprised when she heard this and subconsciously asked, "My husband has achieved a breakthrough?!"
But soon, Cai Yanbo shook his head and denied the idea.
Although there was a wave of true energy, it was not completely transformed.
This time, Zheng Jun should have only greatly increased his strength but failed to make a breakthrough.
But this can also enable him to reach the peak of outer Gang from the initial entry into the third level of outer Gang.
As soon as he thought of this, Cai Yanbo suddenly looked not far away and saw a figure in green clothes walking down the corridor.
The hem of the blue shirt fluttered in the wind in the corridor, his eyes were bright and there was a hint of invincible confidence between his eyebrows.
The figure in green shirt saw Cai Yanbo from a distance and immediately said, "Is your uncle here? I am a little late, please forgive me."
Before he finished speaking, the energy waves from Zheng Jun's body were like a sharp sword unsheathed, piercing Cai Yanbo's true energy. Cai Yanbo saw Zheng Jun's green shirt fluttering, and nine dragons formed by true energy broke out of his body. The dragon's roar shook the beams and pillars so much that dust fell off!
The tea was exploding, and the amber tea leaves were evaporated into mist before they even hit the ground.
Seeing the surrounding Qi waves like this, Zheng Jun could not help but press down his palm to suppress the true Qi, then bowed to Cai Yanbo and said: "I have just made some progress in my cultivation, and I can't hold back the true Qi for a while, please don't blame me, uncle."
Cai Yanbo naturally did not blame anyone, but instead cupped his hands and said, "Sanlang's magical skills are getting better and better, I'm afraid he is not far from achieving enlightenment."
“Although my cultivation has improved, it’s still not as pure as my uncle’s.” Zheng Jun said modestly.
During this retreat, he successfully used the 'Yiri Liuyang Light Dragon Sword Technique' to refine all the demon pills he had obtained on this trip. By the way, he also swallowed a Bihai Dragon Yuan Pill and felt the domineering power of the true essence.
And tried the first trick of impact.
The result was not ideal. Zheng Jun had only recently entered the third level of outer power, so he did not dare to rush into it and could only try briefly.
After all, if the attack fails, he will also be damaged. Zheng Jun dare not take risks on himself. The best way is to make a breakthrough after he is safe.
Therefore, Zheng Jun planned to refine the rest of the Bi Hai Long Yuan Dan before making another attack.
It will probably take two to three months.
Zheng Jun, I can wait.
However, after refining these dragon inner cores, Zheng Jun's true energy also had a hint of dragon might. Transforming his true energy into a dragon was quite easy and interesting.
Zheng Jun took a deep breath and said, "I wonder why uncle came here this time?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Yanbo slapped his head and immediately remembered the important matter, so he immediately repeated what he had just said to Zheng Jun.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It's Changyang County again...
What a coincidence.
The King of Wei and the King of Han were plotting a rebellion. Yang Li from Changyang County was also a trouble. I had a grudge against him. Although Yang Li didn't know that I was the murderer of the King of Changyang whom he had been tracking down, this matter was not airtight and the other party would know it sooner or later.
It would be great if we could take this opportunity to kill him.
Moreover, this time, the troops can be deployed to openly spread their influence to Changyang County, and even spread along this route...
After all, Kangle County is separated from Changyang County by two large counties, Pingzhang County and Guangyi County.
Changyang County controls shipping. If we can capture Changyang County, we can transport the resources of Jinzhou in. If we can get a hand at it, the resources will come in continuously.
Thinking of this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but take a deep breath and said immediately: "Please rest assured, uncle. I will gather my men and prepare to march!"
"Great!"
Cai Yanbo was overjoyed and nodded quickly.
Cai Yanbo immediately said goodbye and asked his black-armored army to prepare.
These are elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles.
After Cai Yanbo left, Zheng Jun turned around and looked at Cai Anyun. Seeing Cai Anyun's clothes, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This is the first time I see you wearing this."
Cai Anyun rolled her eyes at Zheng Jun, then stretched out her white and tender hand and handed him a dose of ointment: "Red Lotus Ointment, apply it while practicing, it can improve your physical strength."
Seeing Cai Anyun handing over a dose of ointment, Zheng Jun was startled. Then he heard Cai Anyun say, "My husband has been away for more than ten days, and has been in seclusion for more than ten days. This is far from the original three or five days!"
Hearing Cai Anyun's words, Zheng Jun couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then said: "Anjun, I'm afraid we will be delayed for a long time again if we go out to fight tomorrow."
After hearing this, Cai Anyun was silent for a moment, then said, "A real man standing between heaven and earth must naturally wield a three-foot sword and perform unparalleled feats. My husband, just go ahead and do it. Why would Anyun hold you back?"
"I hope my husband will be safe and sound and return soon!"
……
The next day, the sound of orderly footsteps appeared around the Kangle County Magistrate's Mansion.
The personal guard camp followed suit and the county governor's meeting was formally convened.
This time, all the outer guards under Zheng Jun's command gathered in the county city and stared at the generals present. Zheng Jun immediately said, "Chen Jingzhong!"
Chen Jingzhong stood up and said in a sonorous voice, "I am here."
"I will order you to be the general in charge of logistics, and lead the soldiers of the Guoyi Army to prepare food and supplies for Pingzhang and Kangle counties, and go to Pingzhang County and station in Haiyu County!"
"Order!"
After saying this, Zheng Jun said, "Xu Tianfang, Fu Li!"
Generals Xu and Fu also stepped forward and bowed to Zheng Jun, saying, "I am here."
Upon seeing this, Zheng Jun said immediately: "Cang Dao and Xiao Yong armies, gather their troops and horses, bring three months of food and fodder, and follow my personal camp to attack Changyang County. We will station outside the city of Changyang County, build fortifications on the spot, and watch over Changyang County!" "Understood, sir." said the two generals.
Then, Zheng Jun looked around at the generals and said, "General Feng will go with me to the border. All affairs of Kangle County will be handled by County Magistrate Lu. Wang Tang of Kangle Army will stay behind. Do you have any objections?"
All the generals said in unison: "We will follow the general's orders!"
After the order was issued, Zheng Jun sat in the county magistrate's mansion with his horse and sword, waiting for the army to gather and attack at any time.
While the army was gathering, Zheng Jun himself would naturally not be idle. A flash of small gold-plated characters appeared before his eyes.
[Do you want to advance the 'Yiri Liuyang Photovoltaic Dragon Sword Art (Mastery)'? Because of the future fruit, you need to swing the sword thousands of times, cut off three dragons, and ten demons before you can claim it as your own. ]
"Advance payment!"
Zheng Jun took a deep breath and chose to advance the payment without hesitation.
【Advance payment successful.】
As Zheng Jun advanced, in an instant, the buzzing sound of the bluestone slab spread out from the soles of his feet. The bluestone slab pressed by the soles of Zheng Jun's cloud-patterned boots actually turned into quicksand, and suddenly a dark golden dragon scale phantom appeared under his blue shirt!
His eyes glowed with golden light, and for a moment, the golden light flickered like the sun descending!
"Mastering the magical martial arts..."
Zheng Jun exhaled, his eyes flashing with a golden light, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "Throughout history, I'm afraid I'm the only one who has mastered the magical martial arts in the Outer Realm, right?"
There are quite a few people who have mastered the supernatural powers in the outer realm. Many direct descendants of famous sects and prominent families can also do it. Even the best among them can master two or three of them at the same time.
But Zheng Jun had never heard that one could master the magical powers and martial arts in the outer realm!
Perhaps in the long river of this world of Yama, there are also such geniuses.
But in modern times, no one can match Zheng Jun.
Zheng Jun is truly the best outer Gang person in the world!
"At the third level of Outer Gang, he relied on external force to kill Nangong Pingying. Now that he is at the peak of Outer Gang, I wonder if he can really kill a martial artist who has gained enlightenment?"
Zheng Jun pondered in his heart.
The realms of Yang Li and Nangong Pingying are almost the same, both are at the initial stage of Tongqiao.
But the difference is that Yang Li was born in the Yang family of the capital. He has supernatural powers and his internal strength is also top-notch. Although he has just entered the stage of Tongqiao and has only opened one acupoint, his strength is extremely powerful.
Nangong Pingying, the elder of Yuanlong Sect, is not loved by his grandmother and uncle, and he only has the "Xulong Zhenyuan" which is a relatively decent method, and it is also countered by Zheng Juntian...
From this we can see that Yang Li's strength is much stronger than Nangong Pingying.
There is no weak one among those who are good at opening their meridians, but there are also differences in strong and weak ones.
"The second one we face is Yang Li. According to Yang Li's background, he is likely to have mastered magical powers. In this case, his advantage is not obvious, and it will not be easy to kill him."
Zheng Jun thought in his heart: "But now, I have also advanced the mastery level of 'Yiri Liuyang Photovoltaic Dragon Sword Art'. I don't know how powerful it is yet. It's a good opportunity to use Yang Li to test the results."
As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Jun suddenly felt a surge of fighting spirit: "It's time to end the matter of Changyang County!"
Soon, the army was assembled.
Seeing this, Zheng Jun did not hesitate at all. He raised his hand and shouted, "March!"
After the development and expansion of Kangle County in recent days, the Cangdao Army and the Xiaoyong Army now each have 15,000 regular soldiers, totaling 30,000 soldiers.
According to the military equipment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Changyang County had six regular troops, which was worth 10,800 men.
Zheng Jun's 30,000 troops are the vanguard.
In addition to these 30,000 vanguards, there were also 15,000-man Guoyi Army in the rear to transport food and fodder, building a food transportation line for Zheng Jun.
The governor of Guangyi County is named Meng Yixian, who is also a martial artist at the initial stage of Tongqiao.
However, although the governor of Meng County also came from a prominent family, he was from the Meng family, a military family of the Wei Dynasty.
But the Wei Dynasty was over two thousand years ago, and the Meng family has long been in decline. Meng Yixian is the only warrior in the Meng family who has broken through the Tongqiao realm in the past five hundred years, and he does not have any magical powers, so he just lives his life in Bozhou.
In Bozhou, he belongs to the neutral faction that does not belong to any faction. However, with the order from the Jiedushi and Mu of Bozhou, Meng Yixian will naturally cooperate with Zheng Jun in Guangyi County to provide supplies and food for the march. As long as he is not allowed to fight in the battlefield himself, the logistics will naturally be fully supplied.
After the army set out, Zheng Jun was also busy along the way and marched quickly to the vicinity of Changyang County.
Looking at the Lujiang River in Changyang County from afar, Zheng Jun couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Zheng Jun rode his horse and gazed at Lujiang River, thinking to himself, "I was here before and killed the demon carp and the Yuanlong Sect. I wonder where the Yuanlong Sect came from."
But no matter where it came from, it should not be from the Yuanlong Sect in Lanzhou.
There is no other reason.
The Lanzhou Yuanlong Sect is not so wealthy that it can send out four or five outer martial artists at once to serve a demon carp.
According to Zheng Jun's guess, it was most likely the Yuanlong Sect in Jinzhou.
However, the land of Jinzhou also made Zheng Jun feel a little unusually abstract.
There is human trafficking and rampant cults, but this state is also a prosperous place in the Central Plains, so it does seem to be a bit chaotic.
“After occupying Changyang County, if you have time, you can go to Jinzhou and find out what’s going on!”
Zheng Jun chuckled, then continued to urge his horse south along the Lujiang River towards Changyang County.
As the army marched, the news naturally could not be blocked. The counties and people along the way were all terrified, especially those who fled from Suzhou and Xuanzhou.
Only when they found that this army had not harmed anyone did they feel relieved and called it the king's army.
But everyone was still talking about it, wondering which bandits this king's army was going to conquer, and why they were so endless.
They had also never heard of any bandits that required so many royal troops to come and conquer them.
About half a month after the expedition, Zheng Jun led his army and arrived at the city of Changyang County.
Looking at Changyang County City from afar, Zheng Jun couldn't help but chuckle and asked the generals around him, "What do you think, how should we break into the city?"
After hearing Zheng Jun's question, Fu Li was startled, then he saluted and said, "General, the governor did not ask us to attack the city, but only asked us to besiege it..."
"It's only a matter of time."
Zheng Jun said casually, and then continued: "After the death of Prince Changyang, the Prince Changyang's Palace was abandoned and turned into a military camp. Now it is in opposition to the Changyang County City, which is a bit tricky."
As soon as Zheng Jun finished speaking, the female general Wei Lingying, whose face was covered with flesh and scars, stepped forward and said to Zheng Jun in a buzzing voice: "General, I am willing to help you capture the Changyang Palace!"
Wei Lingying was in a hurry.
Under Zheng Jun's command, she has not achieved any success.
Now Changyang County is divided into two, and there are only three to four thousand troops stationed in the Changyang Palace. The Changyang Palace does not have any engraved formation plates. If he can break it, he will definitely make a contribution in this battle.
"Okay, then you will be in charge of the Changyang Palace."
Zheng Jun nodded slightly, and then said: "As for Changyang County City..."
Zheng Jun's eyes were like torches. He stood up and walked directly outside the tent. Looking at the towering Changyang County City, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Then he walked out with a sword, a bow and a gun, and shouted towards the direction of the city wall: "I am Zheng Jun, the governor of Kangle County. I have heard that Governor Yang is very skilled and the Yang family's secret 'Fu Sheng Jing' is extremely powerful. I have come to ask for advice. I wonder if Governor Yang dares to fight?!"
The air was surging, and a sound of metal hitting stone could be heard from Zheng Jun's chest, and a low rumble like thunder rolled from his throat!
The sound is like a loud bell, majestic and powerful!
The rumbling sound like muffled thunder was like a black cloud, pressing towards Changyang County City. In an instant, it shook the eardrums of the soldiers guarding the city walls, and they felt as if there were bursts of divine power.
"Kangle County Magistrate? Why would Kangle County Magistrate come to attack us?"
"I don't know, I don't know."
"Will Governor Yang accept the challenge?"
"..."
After hearing Zheng Jun's long roar, the soldiers on the Changyang County City began to talk. They began to discuss why the Kangle County Magistrate led his troops to surround their Changyang County, and whether Yang Li would accept the challenge.
When Cai Yanbo heard Zheng Jun's long howl, he was caught off guard and was quite stunned. He could hardly believe his ears.
What do you mean?
Zheng Jun, he actually dared to challenge a Tongqiao warrior? !
Although, his cultivation had reached the peak of the outer Gang realm, and he also had a trace of true essence power.
but……
Challenging Tongqiao, isn't that too unbelievable? !
What’s more, he has mastered the secret of supernatural powers!
For a moment, Cai Yanbo wanted to stop Zheng Jun and tell him not to provoke Yang Li like this.
What if Yang Li accepted the challenge and killed Zheng Jun in person? What should we do then?
The other generals, Feng He, Fu Li, Xu Tianfang and others, all looked calm.
Although they were very surprised at Zheng Jun's behavior of challenging Tongqiao with his external Gang body, they had unconditional trust in Zheng Jun.
After all, Zheng Jun has never let anyone down.
Whoever I say to kill, I'll kill.
There are no enemy units that have fought with Zheng Jun alive now.
This is the strength of General Zheng!
The news of Zheng Jun beheading Nangong Pingying was well-known in Lanzhou, but it had not yet spread in Bozhou. Therefore, both the enemy and our side felt shocked.
External Gang fights Tongqiao?
If this is true, then this battle may go down in history!
After shouting for a long time, Zheng Jun saw no response from the city. He was immediately startled and felt very strange: "What is Yang Li doing? Is he asleep? I am an outer powerhouse challenging him to open his acupoints, but he doesn't accept the challenge?"
Seeing that Yang Li did not respond to the challenge for a long time, Feng He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief and said to Zheng Jun happily: "General, you are so powerful that even if Yang Li is a martial artist with complete orifices, he would not dare to respond to the challenge!"
Zheng Jun glanced at Feng He and immediately asked him, "General Feng, do you know any dark history of the Yang family?"
"Dark, dark history?"
This term was very new and Feng He had never heard of it before. However, he was not a fool and naturally understood what this "dark history" meant. After a pause, he immediately said, "There are a few things."
"Tell me about it." Zheng Jun said immediately.
You don't want to fight, right?
Today, I must challenge you.
Try my method of 'Yiri Liuguang'!
After hearing Zheng Jun's words, Feng He paused, then began to tell the story.
Zheng Jun heard this and thought for a moment.
There isn't much dark history.
The Yang family did a great job in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it can be said that they met the characteristics of a "clear stream".
If it weren't for the different factions, Zheng Junchun would have thought there was nothing wrong with them if he were just a passerby.
But if you bring things to the surface, everything will be revealed.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the matter of Prince Changyang, Yang Li is most likely involved!
From this we can see that the dark history that has been circulated is not necessarily the real dark history.
The real dark history may be hidden under the iceberg by these powerful people, and it is bottomless.
"..."
In Changyang County City, Yang Li stood in the County Magistrate's Mansion, listening to the report from the soldiers outside. He was not too concerned, but chuckled and said, "Zheng Jun, the little boy, led the army to come here, and his speed is quite fast."
"Mr. Yang."
An outsider of the Yang family said, "The head of the family has issued a manifesto, declaring that the King of Wei will be the new emperor, the King of Han will be the crown prince, and that the rebellious son Li Ji will be conquered..."
"I know I know."
Yang Li chuckled and continued, "The Cai family is loyal to Emperor Yongchang. This Bozhou is full of Cai family minions. As long as I stay here and don't go out, there will be no danger."
But just after Yang Li finished speaking, he suddenly heard a long roar coming from outside the city: "I am Zheng Jun, the governor of Kangle County. I have heard that Governor Yang is very skilled and the Yang family's secret 'Fu Sheng Jing' is extremely powerful. I have come to ask for advice. I wonder if Governor Yang dares to fight?"
Hearing this voice, Yang Li was stunned and said in disbelief: "He, Zheng Jun, wants to challenge me? He is an outer martial artist, how dare he challenge me, a Tongqiao martial artist?!"
Upon hearing this, the retainer said, "Mr. Yang, this is a great opportunity! If we can seize this opportunity to take over Zheng Jun, wouldn't it be..."
"No, no."
However, just as the retainer was making his suggestion, Yang Li suddenly laughed and said, "I laugh at the Cai family's lack of wisdom and Zheng Jun's lack of strategy. The plan of luring the enemy is too crude. How could I be fooled?"
"Ok?"
The retainer was stunned.
Seeing this, Yang Li immediately laughed and said, "How dare an outer-level warrior to challenge me? In my opinion, it is nothing more than seeing that my Changyang County City has strong walls and cannot be conquered, so he used this method to provoke me and make me go out to fight with him."
“By then, I’m afraid that several masters will come together to take me down!”
Yang Li said: "I can guess who they are. They are Cai Jingchen from the Cai family, Yuan Ping, the captain of the Bozhou Zhenfu Division, and the governor of Wuguang County, Lu Xun, who has a grudge against me. There may also be Meng Yixian from Guangyi County and Qi Hong from Qijiang County."
"I see."
The retainer immediately understood and flattered him: "Mr. Yang is full of wisdom and strategies, he is truly a great man of his generation!"
"What kind of hero? It's just that the enemy underestimated me and thought I had a problem with my brain."
Yang Li looked like he had a clear mind, and continued, "Let him shout if he wants to. But pass on my military order to close the city gates tightly and no one is allowed to leave!"
"Yes!"
When the retainers received the order, they immediately went to inform the various armies not to respond to the enemy's provocation.
But just after the retainer left, suddenly, a thunderous voice came from outside again: "I have heard that the will of heaven is unpredictable, and only virtue can support it; treacherous and cunning people usurp power, and both humans and gods are angry! Now there is a family called Yang, who has received the grace of the country for generations but has rebelled against the moral principles, and has committed crimes all over the world but has not repented of their evil deeds. Their evil deeds are so obvious that I dare to list them on the left!"
"One is to confuse the emperor and defile the palace. Since the previous dynasty, the Yang family has offered many bewitching women to seduce the previous emperor with their charms. The bewitching concubine relied on her favor and the hens called the roosters at dawn, causing the court to be covered with dust and the loyal and good people to be silent. In the past, there were evil spirits that overthrew the Xia Dynasty, and now we see the signs that the Yang family will overthrow the country!
The second is to disgrace the martyrs and bend the knee to betray the country. In the last years of the Yu Dynasty, the ancestors of the Yang family were afraid of the enemy in battle, lost their troops and humiliated the country, and finally bend the knee to surrender. Such cowards not only tarnished the military uniform, but also brought shame to the country! However, their descendants have no shame, and instead flattery is a skill. Isn't this the nature of jackals?
The third is to form a clique for personal gain, and to harm the people. Now the Yang family occupies important positions, raises hawks and dogs, and seizes the people's land like hungry tigers, and collects taxes like gluttons. As a result, the streets are blocked by starving people, and the resentment is overwhelming. This is truly a pest to the country and a great disaster to the people! "
"All our loyal and righteous men, sharpen your weapons quickly and kill the traitors together!"
"All of us loyal and righteous people, sharpen our weapons quickly and kill the traitors together!!!"
"..."
The sound vibrated like the sound of a Da Lu Huang Zhong, echoing directly around and shocking everyone.
Strictly speaking, among these three dark histories, only the third one can be considered dark history.
There is no need to say much about the first one, it just tells about the Yang family sending concubines into the palace several times.
The second one is also very simple.
When the Shenwu Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty conquered the world, there was indeed an ancestor of the Yang family who was in the Tongqiao realm. He was defeated in the battle and was afraid of death, so he surrendered to the enemy. However, considering the huge base of the Yang family, it was normal to have two bad guys.
But it doesn’t matter.
When writing a manifesto, of course you have to enlarge the small black dot to attack your opponent.
But the third point is the real deal.
You, the Prince of Changyang, have been so cruel to the people. Don't you, Yang Li, know anything about this?
impossible.
Therefore, Zheng Jun's situation naturally irritated Yang Li on the one hand, and shook the people of Changyang County's morale on the other.
People of Changyang County, don't forget what happened in the past!
"fart!"
Upon hearing this, veins on Yang Li's forehead bulged like twisted tree roots, and a broken roar rolled out of his throat: "You bastard, how dare you insult my Yang family and the Divine Martial Queen Gao Wen?!"
"Today, I will kill you!"
After saying that, Yang Li transformed into a purple light and rushed out!
The true energy is majestic and the momentum is overwhelming!
He must take action now.
Yang Li still felt that Zheng Jun's move was to lure the enemy and make him take action.
But now, I have to take action.
Even a futile cut on the city wall is better than doing nothing.
Originally, Yang Li believed in "I would rather do nothing than make mistakes".
But now, Zheng Jun’s words were extremely misleading. If his men were misled, wouldn’t something be wrong?
So, we must take action!
In just a few breaths, Yang Li flew out of the county magistrate's mansion and arrived at the city wall.
Looking at Zheng Jun who was shouting outside the city, Yang Li snorted coldly, and the purple true energy instantly surged up: "Zheng Jun, die!"
