"I once had an elder named Dongfang Qihuang. Although his name is not famous, I think you have heard of his nickname, Medicine Saint." Dugu said slowly.
Xuanji and others were immediately in awe. Dongfang Qihuang was a figure of the same era as Yingwu layman. His attainments in medicine were so high that he had reached the realm of heaven and man. What is rare is that this person does not seek fame and wealth, but only wants to use
Medical skills save the world. Therefore, although he has passed away for more than ten years, his legend is still alive among the government and the public.
"It is because of this elder that I have been immune to all poisons since I was a child. If I smelled it correctly just now, the raw material of the poisonous water used to soak these golds should be heartbroken grass. Heartbroken grass is highly toxic, but as long as it is not used
It will not be poisoned if it comes into contact with the body. However, when the heartbroken grass is mixed with other poisonous herbs to make a potion and exposed to the sun for several days, the toxicity can be integrated into the air, eventually killing people invisible." Dugu said in a deep voice.
He said: "I once heard that Shenzong Liu Xian died suddenly and was buried in a hurry. Therefore, these things probably didn't have time to be processed, so they were piled directly into Xian's mausoleum."
Xuanji took a breath of air: "So, sir, what you mean is that you are going to completely stimulate the toxicity, and then put it in..."
After looking at each other, the four of them had the same expression.
The four people had different expressions and were silent all the way. They were led directly by a few soldiers to where Luo Xiang was.
Before they saw Luo Xiang's figure, the four of them heard Luo Xiang's wild laughter. Amidst the laughter, there was also a faint sound of sharp cracks in the air. The four of them turned a corner and took a closer look. They couldn't help but fall over.
Take a breath of air conditioning.
On a huge boulder, a corpse wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe was lying on it. Next to him was Luo Xiang, a skinny old man in green clothes. Luo Xiang held a whip in his hand and was laughing wildly while whipping the corpse. How powerful was Luo Xiang's internal strength?
Shockingly, under the force of his whip, the body in the dragon robe had already been completely mutilated, but Luo Xiang didn't seem to notice it at all, still whipping with all his strength.
It has been six years since Shenzong passed away, but his body has not decayed. This is reasonable. After all, in an imperial mausoleum, it is normal for a body to remain intact for thousands of years.
"Sir! Sir!" Xuanji called out twice, but Luo Xiang had no response. Dugu frowned and called out twice. He had already used martial arts that was almost like the roar of a lion in Buddhism, but Luo Xiang didn't respond.
Xiang still didn't respond. It was obvious that his spirit was quite confused.
"Sir's situation is very abnormal. If this continues, he may become insane and even more crazy." Dugu breathed out and said, "It seems that it is necessary for Mrs. Luo and Master Chu to come."
Xin Ke quickly called a soldier and asked him to return to the city immediately to report. But just as the soldier turned around, Feng Jing stopped him again: "Wait a minute! Inform the lord. If the lord is not busy, please invite the lord and the two princes."
Come together!"
Hearing that something happened to Luo Xiang, Haotian and others were extremely anxious. Chu Xiangcheng was originally very busy, so he put aside what he was doing, found He Yu, and followed Haotian over in a hurry.
When they arrived at the mausoleum display site at Wangyue Mountain, they saw Xuanji and the others were there. Haotian and others were relieved. However, when they saw Luo Xiang's appearance, the hearts of several people, especially He Yu, were in their throats.
"In this case, the best way is to slap him, maybe he will wake up immediately." At this time, Dugu was still able to make jokes, and everyone had to admire his psychological quality.
"If this is the case, if the gentleman goes crazy, who can control him? The Blood Commander is teaching Chu Lianfeng and Sheng Lanxin to train the deer-chasing army. Only Mistress Xin Jiao here can fight with the gentleman. However, the fighting ability of a crazy person will be
It has skyrocketed by several levels." Feng Jing said while holding his chin.
Xin Ke squinted his eyes and looked at Dugu next to him: "Dushuai, don't you often claim to be invincible in the world? Why don't you come with your mistress?"
Dugu was startled, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Shuai Xin is too polite. In front of the lord and husband, I am not up to par. I'd better find another way to deal with this."
It is true that Dugu is a gangster, and he is arrogant enough. However, Dugu is definitely not a sluggish person. Under normal circumstances, he can barely perform dozens of moves under Luo Xiang, but Luo Xiang is now
His brain is obviously abnormal. Even if he is restrained by Xin Jiao, if he is killed by Luo Xiang in this situation, where will he put his face in the future?
Everyone frowned and said nothing. He Yu stepped forward and greeted Luo Xiang several times, but Luo Xiang still ignored him. Even the two brothers Hao Jin went to greet Luo Xiang under the protection of Xin Jiao, but Luo Xiang had no reaction.
He just kept laughing wildly, and then used the whip in his hand to whip hard at the corpse on the stone, whose original appearance was no longer visible.
Haotian was really anxious now. He quickly pulled Chu Xiangcheng's sleeve and said, "Uncle, what should I do now? If this continues, something will happen to my husband."
Xuanji sighed helplessly: "Master uncle is not here. But even if he is, in this case, I'm afraid he can't subdue sir. If you come, you should go and invite the blood commander here first."
Chu Xiangcheng's two eyebrows had already come together. He and Luo Xiang had known each other for many years and could be said to be brothers and sisters. Now seeing Luo Xiang like this, he naturally wouldn't feel good. Suddenly, Chu Xiangcheng had an idea and walked over and shouted loudly
He shouted: "Jiuyuan, why don't you leave? They are all impatient!"
Luo Xiang, who had been unresponsive, was suddenly startled. Everyone was happy. Chu Xiangcheng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Hurry up, I have to go find Guo Huai. This kid knows that he is the commander-in-chief today."
Treating me to a treat, he’s still running around!”
"Master, are you treating me to a treat? Are my mentor and the others going?" Luo Xiang suddenly said in a daze.
"My mentor can't go, but King Ding Ning will also go. Hurry up, Qin Shang and Qi Chang are still waiting for us in front. If we go late, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get in!" Chu Xiangcheng continued.
No one knew what Chu Xiangcheng was talking about. Only He Yu knew clearly that this was about the meeting of Qingfeng Junjie at Wangjiang Tower.
Back then, Liu Hao, who was still the crown prince, specially held a grand birthday party for Qin Shang at Wangjiang Tower in Hongzhou in order to please Qin Shang. At that time, all young heroes who were somewhat famous at the time were invited to attend.
At that time, Luo Xiang and the other two people were already emerging and had close friendship with Qin Shang, so they also went there. This incident left a deep impression on Luo Xiang and Chu Xiangcheng, so many years later, when they recalled the incident, they were extremely melancholy.
.
Luo Xiang threw away the whip in his hand and said dissatisfied: "We will definitely be able to get in. Even if Liu Hao doesn't let us in, Qin Shang won't agree..."
As he murmured in his mouth, Luo Xiang's eyes were quite distracted. He didn't pay attention to the people around him at all. He hooked up with Chu Xiangcheng and left directly. Seeing this, He Yu quickly followed her. Luo Xiang was her husband after all.
, she was quite anxious.
After the three of them walked away, Haotian finally took a deep breath and waved to everyone: "It's okay, it's okay. Alas, I didn't expect that more than twenty years have passed, and Mr. is still so persistent."
Xin Ke looked at the blurred corpse on the boulder, frowned and said: "Lord, what should I do with that thing?"
A hint of anger suddenly appeared on Haotian's originally melancholy face: "Throw him to the west gate of Tiandu Shengjing, lay thin bricks on it, and be trampled by thousands of people! Also, after the things inside are moved,
Seal all the members of the Liu family in the Xianling Mausoleum!"
Xuanji was shocked and was about to admonish, but he felt a tightness behind his back. It was Fengjing who secretly pulled him. From an angle that Haotian and others couldn't see, Fengjing's expression was quite solemn. The strength of his hand
It was so huge that Xuanji even vaguely saw the bursting veins on it.
Xuanji was puzzled and turned his head, but he happened to see Haotian's fire-breathing eyes and iceberg-like expression. Xuanji was shocked and did not dare to open his mouth.
Feng Jing felt the strength in his hands loosen, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If Xuanji really took a step forward just now, Feng Jing really couldn't imagine what kind of reaction Haotian would have.
Feng Jing grew up with Haotian since he was a child, and he knows very well what kind of person Haotian is. Although he has lost maternal love since he was a child, Haotian has always been loyal to his mother Qin Shang, whom he has never met or even left a portrait of.
He was particularly respected. And Shenzong Liu Hao was the culprit who caused Qin Shang's death. He took over the Holy Capital of Heaven. Not to mention that Luo Xiang and Chu Xiangcheng would not let the Liu clan go easily. Haotian himself also
He will not be lenient. The main reason why Chu Xiangcheng did not drag those people from the Liu family to the holy capital of Niantian to build the city was that Haotian hoped to use these people to sacrifice to heaven. But now in anger, Haotian also
Forgetting his original intention, he might as well seal all these people up in the Xianling Mausoleum and let them accompany their dead emperor.
After making a haha, Feng Jing said with a smile: "Master, let Du Shuai or Xin Ke handle the matter here. It's not a big deal, they will definitely be able to handle it. Sir, there should be nothing wrong. He just needs to go back and get some sleep."
Once you sleep, everything will be fine."
Dugu also noticed that Haotian's expression was very abnormal, so he echoed a few words casually. It happened that Hao Jin wanted to climb the mountain, and the little guy was in good spirits and was jumping around all day long. Haotian's love for his son was obvious to all, so
He left Dugu and others behind, and together with Xin Jiao, they hugged their son and walked towards the top of Wangyue Mountain. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
On the surface, Tiandu Shengjing has been captured by the Hetao, and calm has been restored under Chu Xiangcheng's smooth rule, at least on the surface. All the corpses on the streets have been restrained, and soldiers maintaining order are standing all over Tiandu.
In every corner of Shengjing, the noise that had disappeared for a long time reappeared in the market, and the whole city finally burst into life.
"It's easy to destroy but hard to build. Our siege war lasted only one day, but it took us more than ten days to restore the city to its pre-war level on the surface." Chu Xiangcheng murmured.
Wei He said nonchalantly: "Sir, the main reason is actually because we have too many concerns. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the lord is too soft-hearted and misses the old relationship too much, we would be able to conquer Tiandu Sheng in just three days.
Jing is well organized."
Wei He was originally the governor of Hexi Road, but Hexi Road has always been the heart of Hetao. After many years of governance by Wei He, it has been restored to what it was like in the heyday of Hexi. Considering that the current situation of Hexi Road is quite stable, Chu Xiangcheng
He specially brought Wei He from Hexi to Tiandu Shengjing. He is now coordinating the administrative affairs of the entire Tiandu Shengjing, Qinchuan, Yizhou and Yuzhou Road in the north, which will be included in the jurisdiction of Hetao.
Cheng Daping, the former prefect of Anzhou, moved to the prefecture of Yizhou Road; Shangguanjun of Bingzhou moved to the prefecture of Qinchuan Road; Lingxiao of Yanzhou Palace moved to the prefecture of Yuzhou Road; Shen Wen of Sangzhou moved to the prefecture of Shengjing, Tiandu.
According to Chu Xiangcheng's prediction, the fifteen prefects in Hetao will all take over more than ten areas of land in China in the future, and the three oldest prefects, including Wei He, will become his
The deputy will sit at the center and coordinate the overall situation. Once Haotian moves its capital to Tiandu Shengjing, it must establish a government system. This government system is different from that in Hetao. It must at least establish a sound government system like the previous Qingfeng Empire.
Xin Shuang, Haizheng and Miao Ganfu from Youyun Sixteen Prefectures were the first group of people promoted from the Hetao Prefecture, followed by Cheng Daping, Shangguan Jun, Gong Lingxiao and Shen Wen, who were the second group.
Chu Xiangcheng naturally understood what Wei He meant, and what Wei He said was not unreasonable. In fact, Tiandu Shengjing only needs to be like Yizhou Road, killing hundreds of thousands of people first, and killing all those who are dissatisfied with Hetao and
If all three or even nine tribes of people who once opposed the Hetao were killed, then at least for a short period of time, there would be peace.
But in this way, the forces that resist the Loop will move underground from the surface. They will tolerate it for a long time, and then become a headache for the Loop for decades or even centuries. Wildfires will never burn out, and spring breezes will blow them again.
We haven’t fully mastered this territory, so it’s a joke to say weeding out the roots.
Just like today's Yizhou Road, although on the surface they were frightened by the knife in the Loop and couldn't raise their heads, there are still many people who are loyal to the Song family and dissatisfied with the Loop. However, they have now become obedient citizens of the Loop.
, there is no leader, no strength, and they are still trembling under the blade of the Hetao army. They dare not act arrogantly with the Hetao army. However, if one day the Hetao army withdraws, even the slightest contradiction may incite anger.
initiated their massive resistance.
"After the bloodshed, you should be gentle. We are of the same clan after all, and as long as the subsequent policies can keep up, the resistance on Yizhou Road will definitely be much smaller." Wei He comforted Chu Xiangcheng and said.
Chu Xiangcheng nodded: "Cheng Daping should be able to deal with the situation on Yizhou Road."
Chengda Pingyuan was originally the prefect of Anzhou, right under Chu Xiangcheng's nose. Chu Xiangcheng still trusted his ability. This man who was born in Qianqi of Qingyun Garrison, after several years of changes,
He has transformed from the hot-blooded man he once was to a powerful frontier official with deep influence in the city. In addition, he has always had a good relationship with the military, so it is not difficult to take charge of Yizhou.
In a good mood after taking a nap, Haotian hummed a tune and walked into Chu Xiangcheng's courtyard accompanied by Xian Lianchen. The Jingbei Palace was not big and had been damaged by war. Although it had been destroyed some time ago,
It has been restored, but it is still not restored to its previous appearance. However, the flowers, plants and trees in the yard are particularly impressive. The green trees and red flowers are everywhere, which makes it feel like the moon is blooming and the spring breeze is blowing.
"My lord, you are in a good mood today." Chu Xiangcheng joked.
Haotian smiled and nodded: "It's not bad." After Luo Xiang returned from Xianling yesterday, he had not been sleeping well, and even Haotian didn't have a good rest. Now that he has had enough sleep, Luo Xiang has returned to normal. He
My mood is naturally very good.
Wei He was about to speak, but found that Haotian was followed by Xuanji. Xuanji's expression was not very good. Wei He was a little confused and couldn't help but ask: "Military advisor, what happened?"
Xuanji hesitated for a moment. Haotian was in a good mood now. Isn't it inappropriate to bother him with this matter? But it was impossible to hide this matter from Haotian. He immediately handed the information in his hand to Haotian.
He said in a deep voice: "My lord, the Zhang family in Huai River has a tendency to retreat to the east."
"East?" Haotian immediately sketched a map of the Huai River in his mind. The five states of the Huai River, Raozhou and Shouzhou in the east were once captured by the Holy Sect of Paradise. Therefore, the economy and people's livelihood could not be compared with the three in the west.
Compared with the state. But this is the most important grain producing area of Huai River after all. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Cangxiong regained it, he increased investment in various aspects. Now, a little bit of vitality has been restored. However, the eastern part of Huai River is easy to attack and difficult to defend.
It is not a good move for the Zhang family to move this way.
However, this is simply no choice for the Zhang family. The three states to the west of the Zhang family border Qinchuan. If Qinchuan had not fallen, the situation here would be considered safe. However, the Li family in Qinchuan has surrendered, and although Hetao is temporarily
He ignored the Zhang family, but if Hetao had the intention, he could launch a fierce attack from the hundreds of miles long border and easily crush the Huai River's resistance.
As for the eastern part of the Huaishui River, firstly, it can increase the marching distance of the Hetao and expand the strategic depth of the Zhang family. Secondly, the dense river network in the Raozhou and Shouzhou areas can reduce the largest cavalry advantage in the Hetao to the extreme. The Zhang family originally relied on
The army and navy are well-known, so stationing troops here can just make the most of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
"The Zhang family's calculations are pretty good. Hey, do you think this was Zhang Jishi's and his son's idea or Zhang Keliang's?" Haotian said with a smile.
Chu Xiangcheng shook his head: "I have been friends with Zhang Cangwu for a period of time. This man may have some vision in politics, but in military terms he is a complete idiot. I heard that his son is compared with him
They all think that he has little talent and great ambition, so you can imagine how idiotic Zhang Jishi is. As for Zhang Keliang, he is an elder of the Zhang family, and I don’t know him well. But it is indeed not easy to make such a choice."
Wei He frowned and said with some confusion: "Sir, if the Zhang family really had such a courage to make choices, they would not have stayed here at all for so many years. When our army went south, they would not have thought about preserving their strength.
Is there any problem here?"
His eyes turned back to Xuanji again, and Xuanji smiled bitterly: "What the general said is true." Then he said solemnly: "Zhang Jishi and his son do not have such courage, and Zhang Keliang does not have such a broad vision at all. If someone has not guessed
If I’m wrong, the real person behind this should be An Yongchang!”
