Chapter 198 The Changes at Cihang Jingzhai
"it is good."
Luoyang, Dugu Mansion
Murong Qiudi received a message from Shi Feixuan via carrier pigeon. She had not expected such a change to occur at Cihang Jingzhai. At present, Fan Qinghui was seriously injured, and although Shi Feixuan was not injured, the two were obviously in great danger—Chang'an was, after all, Cihang Jingzhai's territory, and Di Ni was a terrestrial immortal of the Celestial Realm.
Murong Qiudi handed the secret letter to Zhu Yuyan and asked urgently:
"Sect Leader Zhu, what is your opinion on this matter?"
Zhu Yuyan's expression was solemn. The changes at Cihang Jingzhai were indeed unexpected—the Di Ni had reappeared in the form of a Celestial Realm cultivator. What exactly was her intention?
Now that the Earthly Nun has appeared, what about the Heavenly Monk? The Heavenly Monk of Jingnian Temple must still be in the mortal realm. Thinking that Su Qingfeng might have to face two terrestrial immortals at the Celestial Realm simultaneously, Zhu Yuyan's heart tightened.
She composed herself and said to Murong Qiudi:
"The upheaval at Cihang Jingzhai was indeed sudden. We not only need to guard against the sudden attack by the nun, but also against Jingnian Temple. The nun is not dead, and the monk is probably still alive. From now on, we may have to deal with two experts at the Celestial Realm."
"We must inform Su Qingfeng of the news from Fan Qinghui and Shi Feixuan as soon as possible. He is currently at the Pegasus Ranch. If he can get there in time to rescue them, it might still be possible. We are too far away from here, and there may not be enough time."
"I understand. I'll have the guards inform him."
---
At the Pegasus Ranch, Su Qingfeng returned to his room, pondering his arrangements for returning to Luoyang the next day. Luoyang was now his territory; the Dugu clan had submitted to him, and although Wang Shichong had not openly rebelled, he was still a potential threat that had to be eliminated.
"You Ruo."
"Owner."
A dark figure appeared silently and bowed to him.
Su Qingfeng instructed the leader of the Shadow Assassins:
"Send a few men to Luoyang to assassinate Wang Shichong and his cronies, and clean them up."
"Yes."
After You Ruo left, Su Qingfeng tapped the table lightly with his fingers, pondering whether he should raise an army within the territory of the Sui Dynasty. He was not lacking in troops and provisions, had a base in two places, and even had 50,000 troops hidden in his system space that he had not yet summoned.
"Someone come here."
"Your Majesty."
"Summon Shen Luoyan to see me."
"Yes, ma'am."
Inside the council hall, the women remained even after Su Qingfeng had left. They hadn't expected him to leave so quietly on his own, and they still had many questions for him.
Black Widow looked at Su Yan and gently shook her head. If Su Yan knew that those women from the Eastern Continent—Marquis Bai Ruobing, Zi Nu of Zi Lan Xuan, the Moon Goddess of the Yin Yang School… each with extraordinary abilities and difficult to deal with, he would probably have an even bigger headache.
A bodyguard entered, first bowing to Su Yan, then speaking to Shen Luoyan who was speaking:
"Miss Shen Luoyan, His Majesty requests your presence."
"Does Lord Wu Xiang wish to see me?"
Shen Luoyan glanced at the guards with a hint of doubt, wondering why Lord Wu Xiang had suddenly summoned her. After a moment's thought, she decided to go anyway, thinking that Lord Wu Xiang wouldn't make things difficult for a woman like her.
"Yes, please come with me."
After the guards led Shen Luoyan away, the other women in the room speculated about why Su Qingfeng had summoned Shen Luoyan. Shen Luoyan wasn't the most beautiful among them, so there must be another reason for this summons. However, no one could guess, so they could only wait for her return to ask.
Nearly an hour later, Shen Luoyan returned, looking radiant. As soon as she entered, she said to Li Xiuning:
"Li Xiuning, Lord Wu Xiang invites you to go as well."
Seeing that her expression was different from usual, Li Xiuning couldn't help but ask, "You want me to come too? Shen Luoyan, what did Lord Wu Xiang want to talk to you about just now?"
You'll know when you get there.
Shen Luoyan was thrilled. She hadn't expected that Wu Xiangjun would trust her so much, entrusting her not only with the command of 50,000 Netherworld cavalry but also with the 200,000 Sui troops under Yang Lin, the Prince of Luoyang. With such a powerful army at her disposal, taking Wagang Village would be a piece of cake.
She was determined to take Wagangzhai perfectly, and then control the entire region between Luoyang and Yangzhou, thus fully implementing Wu Xiangjun's strategy of conquering the south first and then the north.
Li Xiuning sized up Shen Luoyan for a moment, then got up and walked outside. She saw a sense of belonging and confidence in Shen Luoyan's expression, which made her even more curious about what Wu Xiangjun had said that could cause such a change in this female strategist of Wagang Village.
Not long after Li Xiuning left, a bodyguard rushed in to report to Su Yan:
"Princess, an urgent secret letter has arrived in Luoyang."
"Give it to me."
Su Yan took the secret letter and read it carefully, her brows gradually furrowing. She had not expected that Cihang Jingzhai would undergo such a change, and that it might even bring her two more powerful enemies at the Celestial Realm.
"Black Widow, go and fetch my father."
"Yes, Princess."
In Su Qingfeng's room, Li Xiuning stared at him in shock after hearing his words. She hadn't expected that Su Qingfeng had already begun plotting to seize the throne of the Sui Dynasty, and hearing his military plans only deepened her astonishment.
Li Xiuning hadn't expected Su Qingfeng to entrust her with 80,000 elite troops and 20,000 Netherworld cavalry, including 10,000 heavily armored cavalry. She looked at Su Qingfeng, a fleeting, indescribable emotion crossing her eyes.
After explaining the plan to Li Xiuning, Su Qingfeng asked, "Li Xiuning, do you think you can do what I've said?"
Li Xiuning immediately stood up and excitedly replied, "Yes, absolutely! If we command these troops, we can pacify the south in less than six months. If we join forces with Shen Luoyan, we can even quickly take down the Song clan."
As a female general, she could command an army of over 200,000, though her main force numbered only a little over 100,000, their fighting strength was formidable and far superior to the miscellaneous troops in the south. Li Xiuning was confident that she could wipe out the various forces in the south in the shortest possible time.
She never expected Su Qingfeng to trust her so much—even within the Li clan, she had never received so many troops at once. Over two hundred thousand soldiers, exceeding the Li clan's total strength, and this was only what she had acquired; Shen Luoyan also commanded over two hundred thousand troops. Su Qingfeng had actually deployed over five hundred thousand troops in the Sui Dynasty; it seemed he had long been plotting against the Sui.
"Li Xiuning, don't touch the Yuwen clan and Yang Guang in Jiangdu yet. I'll handle things there personally," Su Qingfeng reminded Li Xiuning, who was agitated.
Su Qingfeng thought that once the army was sent to the south and the Luoyang area, the Yuwen Clan would definitely not sit still. However, the Yuwen Clan had lost the trump card of the Xiaoguo Army - the nearly 80,000 Xiaoguo Army soldiers were now his direct troops, and even Yuwen Huaji could not mobilize them.
As for Yang Lin, the Prince of Kao Shan in Luoyang, he should not rebel at this time. Most of his army's middle ranks have been infiltrated by secret guards, and most of his generals have also defected to him. Yang Lin should make a wise choice.
"Yes, I understand."
"Well, you can contact Shen Luoyan after these matters. From now on, you will take orders directly from Murong Qiudi."
Li Xiuning looked at Su Qingfeng with some surprise, not expecting him to entrust such an important task to his wife. She reminded him meaningfully, "You really trust your wife."
Su Qingfeng simply smiled and did not answer. The interference of the harem in politics would not happen in his household; even if it did, it would be something he intentionally arranged. If his women were talented, he was happy to give them opportunities. In any case, he had a long lifespan and was not worried that the empire he had built would collapse overnight.
At that moment, Black Widow rushed into the room and said urgently:
"Your Majesty, something has happened in Luoyang. The princess requests your immediate presence in the main hall."
"Something happened in Luoyang? Let's go see what's going on."
Su Qingfeng wasn't particularly worried when he learned of the news from Luoyang. Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in Luoyang, as were Lu Xiaofeng and his group, and the experts of the Yin Kui Sect were also gathered there. He guessed that Luoyang had received some bad intelligence and had specifically sent someone to inform him.
As Su Yan led Li Xiuning and the Black Widow into the council hall, he hurriedly stepped forward and handed the secret letter to Su Qingfeng:
"Father, something has happened at Cihang Jingzhai. Fan Qinghui and Shi Feixuan are currently being besieged by people from Cihang Jingzhai. Moreover, their senior nun is actually not dead—she is a terrestrial immortal of the Celestial Realm. Aunt Murong Qiudi also mentioned that the Celestial Monk of Jingnian Temple in Luoyang may also be alive, and he has probably also entered the Celestial Realm."
As Su Yan spoke, Su Qingfeng quickly scanned the secret letter. He truly hadn't expected that Fan Qinghui's master, Di Ni, was still alive and had now joined forces with the Li Clan. With Fan Qinghui and Shi Feixuan in grave danger, Su Qingfeng decided to personally go and rescue them.
After a moment's thought, he ordered Black Widow: "Black Widow, have the guards send a message to the Moon Goddess of the Eastern Continent, asking her to contact Bai Ruobing and Donghuang Taiyi immediately, saying that I've encountered trouble and need their help."
"Yes, Master."
"You Ruo."
"Owner."
"Send a few Shadow Assassins to find Shi Guanyin and ask her to come quickly to help me deal with these people."
"Yes, Master."
Su Qingfeng thought for a moment, and feeling that nothing had been overlooked, then looked at Shen Luoyan:
"Shen Luoyan, 50,000 Netherworld cavalry have assembled five miles outside the Pegasus Ranch. You will take the token and go to take command. Tomorrow, you will escort Su Yan and the others to Luoyang."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Luoyan immediately bowed.
Su Qingfeng then turned to Li Xiuning and instructed her, "Li Xiuning, you will command the ten thousand Netherworld Heavy Cavalry in the Pegasus Ranch. After Su Yan arrives safely in Luoyang, you will go to Yangzhou to take over the local army. After that, you can mobilize troops on your own without needing to consult me again."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Su Qingfeng gently stroked Su Yan's hair and smiled, "Yan'er, I'll be leaving soon. You'll go to Luoyang with the army tomorrow. Once I've rescued Fan Qinghui and Shi Feixuan, I'll return to join you."
Su Yan felt a deep sense of reluctance. She had only spent a few days with her father, and now they had to part again, which made her feel down.
"Yes, Father, you must be careful."
Black Widow assured Su Yan, "Princess, rest assured, I will protect my master."
"Su Qingfeng, shall I go with you?" Xiaomeng walked to Su Qingfeng's side, carrying the Qiuli Sword. This time, Su Qingfeng was going to rescue someone, and she was worried that something might happen to him—Xiaomeng didn't want to see anything go wrong with Su Qingfeng now.
Xue Nu held the jade flute and wanted to go and help, but seeing so many people around, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to say that she wanted to help Su Qingfeng.
Su Qingfeng hugged Xiaomeng and kissed her in public, saying, "Don't worry, don't you know my abilities? Even if I can't win, I can always run away. Luoyang isn't peaceful right now either, and Jingnian Temple will definitely be making moves. You and Xue Nu go to Luoyang to help, and while you're at it, protect my daughter Su Yan."
