For the next half month, Zhang Yu stayed in the Liangzhou Prosecutor's Office, constantly collecting reports and delivering orders to his subordinates.
Every day, hundreds of Xuanxiu gather around the government office to wait for orders, which also blocks the outside world from prying at the place. No one knows what he is arranging at the moment except those who are actually in charge.
It was early August. On this day, when he was approving documents, Shi Yue walked in, cupped his hands and said: "Xuan Zheng, Master Bai Xiu's disciple Tang Feng has arrived. He said he came on orders from his master and wanted to see Xuan Zheng.
"
Zhang Yu put down his pen, sat up straight, and said, "Invite him in."
Shi Yue gave instructions to the disciples below, who immediately went down to deliver the order.
Not long ago, Tang Feng walked in from the outside. When he looked up and saw Zhang Yu, his eyes couldn't help but condense slightly, because the pressure Zhang Yu gave him at this moment was very similar to the feeling given to him by his teacher Bai Xiu.
However, he quickly gathered his thoughts, took out a jade box from his sleeve, raised his hands and presented it, "This is a letter sent by my master to Zhang Xuanzheng, inviting Zhang Xuanzheng to have a party on the East China Sea on the first day of September."
meet."
Zhang Yu's eyes fell, and the jade box came to the case. He took out the sticker and opened it to take a look, and a line of chic and varied text suddenly fell into his eyes.
He paused for a moment, then read on. In addition to the greetings, he also mentioned the date and place of the fight. If he had any objections to this, he could change it at any time.
But he didn't plan to change the date.
The situation has become increasingly urgent recently, and I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to delay it any longer.
He said: "I'll take it. You go back and tell your teacher that I will go to the appointment on time."
Tang Feng gave him a slap in the face and said, "Then I will resign."
Zhang Yudao: "Fellow Taoist Shi, please send Friend Tang off for me."
After Tang Feng bowed his head, he turned around and went out.
Zhang Yuze sat behind the case and thought for a while. There was still more than half a month before the duel. Bai Xiuyin was obviously the first true cultivator among Qingyang's peers. He should not be underestimated. He should also put down all the troubles.
Everything is done to prepare for this battle.
However, just when he was planning this, he received another document sent from outside the country in the afternoon.
After thinking about it, he asked Zai Wenliang and Shi Yue to stay in Liangzhou to take charge. He left here, left Qingyang Shangzhou from the south, and then fled to the northwest wilderness.
After escaping for a summer, he saw a silvery-white light appear on the surface of the wasteland from a distance. Above the light, there were dozens of carrying spaceships, as well as a large number of objects covered with thick cloth.
And Counselor Shen, who was always by Cao Du's side, was standing there waiting.
When Zhang Yu got close, he turned into a blue rainbow and fell from the sky, landing silently on the ground. When the light dissipated, he walked slowly over with his sword in hand.
When Counselor Shen saw Zhang Yu, he cupped his hands and said, "Xuanzheng is polite."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeves and saluted, saying, "Counsellor Shen, what's going on with General Cao?"
Shen Shenshi said with a serious look: "Things are going well, except that more creators have been found than originally estimated. Many people were not creators originally, but were replaced by creators. We have arrested them all.
Already."
After this investigation, they found that most of the creators were concentrated in the middle-level military academies, and there were not many among the soldiers.
This is normal. Once on the battlefield, the lower-level sergeants and soldiers suffer the most casualties, and they don't have much power themselves, so it is impossible for the people behind the scenes to make arrangements here.
However, because of this expedition to Shuangzhou, there were indeed many soldiers and sergeants who made meritorious service. Therefore, after arresting these people, Cao Du quickly promoted a group of people to replace them, which immediately stabilized the morale of the army.
Zhang Yudao: "Has General Cao ever verified how these people were replaced?"
Counselor Shen said solemnly: "Currently, it seems that most people were replaced after dying on the battlefield. The possibility of replacing many people shows that the power of the person behind it is far beyond our previous estimates.
From a time perspective, the earliest these people can trace back is thirty-five years ago, and the latest is only within two years. To last for such a long time, this undoubtedly shows that this is a very long-term plan."
He felt very heavy in his heart. There were three elite armies in Qingyang Shangzhou, totaling 1.5 million people. The sharp attack army was only one of them. The sharp attack army had been penetrated so badly that the other two armies were probably the same.
What he is most worried about now is the two governments. How many of the senior officials there are still the same people?
He looked at Zhang Yu and said: "Zhang Xuanzheng, the situation seems to be extremely critical. Xuanzheng has the right to report to Xuanting. Can you please report it to Xuanting of the Ming Dynasty? Please ask Xuanting to send an envoy to deal with this matter?"
Zhang Yu shook his head.
It's not that he hasn't thought about this matter, but judging from the current series of circumstances, the person behind it must involve some people in Xuanting. It may not be useful for him to report it, and it may also expose his current situation.
Moreover, the higher authorities granted him the title of Xuanzheng in the hope that he could solve the problems within the continent. Although the current situation seems to be extremely serious, the level of power involved is still within the range that he can handle, and it has not reached the point of irreversibility. .
If you ask for help as soon as you encounter a problem, then you can choose anyone else, so why should you choose him?
Seeing that he denied this move, Counselor Shen thought for a while, then reacted and whispered: "Is this matter related to some people in Xuan Ting?"
Zhang Yuping said: "The current situation is unclear, but judging from some people in the continent, I don't think they can do this."
Counselor Shen said in a serious voice: "It seems we can only fight alone."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said: "With your side here, Qingyang Xuanfu and thousands of people in Qingyang, how can this be regarded as a lonely army?"
Counselor Shen glanced at him, cheered up and said, "Yes, it all depends on man! No matter how bad the situation is, we must not back down in the slightest!"
At this time, he stepped aside, pointed behind him and said: "These things have to be handed over to Xuan Zheng. I wonder if they will cause Xuan Zheng trouble at this time?"
Zhang Yu looked over, and at the signal of the middle-aged counselor, the accompanying soldiers opened the cloth coverings one by one, revealing that they were statues of General Tiansha, as well as the Crocodile Flood Demon Dragon, and even the Another kind of idol that I have never seen before. There are quite a few idols including alien gods. At a glance, I am afraid there are tens of thousands of them.
He stared at these things, feeling the waves of heat coming from these statues, and said: "It's not troublesome."
These things were all captured by the sharp attack army after the Battle of Shuangzhou. This was not something he deliberately asked for from Cao Du. These things that tend to be supernatural have always been handed over to Xuanfu for disposal. In the past, the treasury was closed. Many of those miraculous things come from this way.
Shen Shen said, "If Xuan Zheng has nothing to explain here, then I will take my leave first."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Send hello to General Cao for me. If anything happens, you can send me a letter."
Counselor Shen cupped his hands and said, "Xuanzheng is also careful." After saying this, he turned around and led his soldiers back to the flying boat, then soared away and quickly disappeared into the sky.
After Zhang Yu waited for them to leave, he walked towards the statues. What made him feel more comfortable was that these statues were placed very well, arranged very neatly, horizontally and vertically, and even when viewed diagonally, they were in a straight line. .
Well, the aisle left in this way is easier and more convenient to walk through.
He felt that although there were many statues, only a few of them contained source energy, which was about 23% of the total.
But even so, taken together it is quite impressive.
As he got closer, he felt hundreds of heat waves converging on him, and he thought, "It looks like it's going to take a lot of effort."
At this time, he stopped in front of a statue of a different god. It seemed that it should be a trophy from a certain strange god kingdom that was destroyed by Shuangzhou.
He stretched out his hand and pressed it upward, and a stream of heat poured into his body. After a moment, the statue collapsed and turned into dust.
He put his hand back, stepped forward, and walked towards the second statue.
It turns out that on the boundary of Shuangzhou Duzhou, Taoist Lin, Yu Fu and others are still in the wilderness, but they all have solemn expressions at this time.
Lin Daoren said in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"
Yu Fu put away Wan Guijian, looked into the depths of the wasteland, and said: "Judging from the leaked Qi, although there are some changes from the past, it is indeed that person."
Guan Xuan looked at Taoist Lin and said: "Senior brother, this matter is no longer something we can handle. Now that there are no Yuanshen monks in my Lingmiao Xuan Realm, this matter still needs Zhu Xuan to deal with it."
Yu Fu said: "Maybe Zhu Xuanshou already knows about it."
Taoist Lin nodded and said: "Zhu Xuan's skills are so profound that it's not surprising that he noticed it before us. Since this person is still here, there will definitely be a battle between Zhu Xuan and this person."
Yu Fu said worriedly: "If Zhu Xuanshou fights against this person, no matter whether he wins or loses, there will be no turning back. And Qingyang Shangzhou is now undercurrents. If Zhu Xuanshou is not in charge, the situation will definitely become unstable." stable."
Guan Xuan disagreed and said: "What do the affairs in the continent have to do with us?"
Yu Fu shook his head and said: "Uncle Master, you can't say that. The place where we enter and exit the Lingmiao Mysterious Realm is in Qingyang Shangzhou. If there is chaos in the continent, we may not be affected."
Guan Xuan sneered and said: "Who would come to invade my spiritual realm? Bai Xiu? Oh, if he dares to come, I will just ask him about what happened before." He turned to look at Taoist Lin, "Senior brother, you How to say?"
Lin Daoren said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xuanzheng killed Gongsun Min, and there will be a battle between Bai Xiu and Zhang Xuanzheng. If Zhang Xuanzheng wins this battle and Bai Xiu dies, then there is no need to mention it again. If the winner It's Bai Xiu, we should come to ask for an explanation from him."
Guan Xuan was a little dissatisfied with this answer and asked for an explanation? What does this mean? If the truth about this matter makes sense, then why do they need the long swords in their hands?
However, he curled his lips and said nothing more, because he knew that arguing at the moment would not help. In his heart, he really hoped that Zhang Yuneng would kill Bai Xiu, and then everything would be over.
At this moment, a ray of light came from a distance and fell in front of the three people. A young disciple came out and bowed to the three people.
Lin Daoren asked: "What happened?"
The disciple said: "The disciples in the continent reported that Tang Feng went to Zhang Xuanzheng's residence and placed a Dou Tie. It is said that the date was set on the first day of September."
The three of them looked at each other, and Daoren Lin said solemnly: "We should go back as well."
Yu Fu nodded and looked to the east. He could feel how Qingyang Shangzhou would change in the future, depending on who won this battle.
