"The guest has left?"
Half of Wu Xia's body was leaning out of the door.
The Taoist in the room was washing the dishes and coming out of the back room, while the little girl was wiping the table with a rag. Because she was short and had short hands, but the table was very wide, she had to hold the rag in one hand and support the table with the other. The small body almost lies on the table to wipe the table completely.
When the two people, one large and one small, heard the sound, they all stopped their movements at the same time and turned to look at the door half of their bodies.
Only then did Wu Nuxia come out from behind the wall.
The little girl remained lying on the table wiping the table, turning her head and staring straight at her. She lowered her eyes and saw that she didn't have a book in her hand. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, but then she started to look forward to it again. He was the first to ask:
"Are you here to ask Teacher Sanhua for advice?"
"no."
"Is someone going to ask Empress Sanhua to exorcise evil spirits?"
"How do you know? I just wanted to come here to tell you, but I saw you guys entertaining guests, so I went back."
"!"
The little girl's expression suddenly froze, her hand holding the rag tightened, and she turned her head to stare at her without blinking.
However, he saw that the woman looked away from her and turned to look at her Taoist priest:
"That was just now..."
"Chen Ziyi."
"Tsk tsk, the newly named Marquis of Wu'an is a famous general who has never been defeated." Wu Nuxia couldn't help but gasped and shook her head. Although she had stopped doing intelligence work for the princess a long time ago, her instinct seemed not to be so strong for a while. It's easy to change. "The lifelong pursuit of many martial arts practitioners is either to be like Shu Yifan and enter the Tao through martial arts, or to be invincible in battle like Chen Ziyi."
"Where's the heroine?"
"I am a daughter. If it weren't for the blood feud in my family, I might not have the martial arts skills even if I practiced martial arts. Naturally, I have no interest in joining the army and making meritorious deeds." Wu Nuxia said, "But I also know that this is a very remarkable person. There are countless warriors in the world who admire him, and my friend who works in the Wude Division respects him very much."
"I see."
"I heard that the Zhenbei Army in his hands can sweep across Dayan. Is it true?"
"I don't understand military formations, but there have been wars in the north for many years. The Zhenbei Army accounts for a small half of Dayan's army, and they are all elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles..." The Taoist only spoke his opinion truthfully.
"It's really amazing."
Wu Nuxia couldn't help but sigh.
The little girl still stared at her blankly.
However, Wu Nuxia was obviously more interested in Chen Ziyi's affairs, and quickly said: "It's a pity that he has no betrayal, and he almost went to Changjing alone. It would be even more serious if he had betrayal. In the current Dayan Although rebellion is not that easy, it is not that difficult with his ability. According to his power, if he had the intention to rebel, not to mention Jackie Chan, he would be defeated and a dragon. But now he can only let himself go in Changjing The emperor and the civil servants decide the fate.”
"The heroine is very insightful."
The Taoist wiped his hands and complimented.
Wu Nvxia is right about one thing. With the power of General Chen, rebellion is not as easy as imagined, but it is not that difficult either.
Today's Zhenbei Army not only has many soldiers and generals, but is extremely elite. It also effectively controls several northern states and is the largest warlord in Dayan. Since ancient times, unless the emperor of the first dynasty kept the army that conquered the world by his side to defend the center as a forbidden army, almost no forbidden army could defeat the border army, let alone the Zhenbei Army.
If the Zhenbei Army becomes rebellious and sweeps southward, even if the imperial court transfers back the border troops from the Western Regions, they may not be able to withstand it.
It's just that Dayan is in an unprecedented prosperous age. It is Dayan that all nations come to visit and people from foreign countries dream of coming to. The economy is also very prosperous. Both the people and the military officers have a strong sense of honor for Dayan. and a sense of belonging. They are naturally protective of the word Dayan, and are not willing to destroy it with their own hands. Therefore, even with General Chen's prestige, if an army is raised, not everyone in the army will respond.
However, information is inconvenient these days, and generals and soldiers can easily be deceived. It may be more possible to find an excuse and operate it properly.
It's too easy to make up excuses at this time.
The Sanhua Empress next to her was almost dying of anxiety, but she still had a serious look on her face, but her brows were getting tighter and tighter.
Seeing that the adults were chatting, she couldn't interrupt her, so she had to wait here anxiously, turning her head as the two of them talked. Wu Nuxia looked at Wu Nuxia when she spoke, and the Taoist priest looked at her when he spoke. Seeing the Taoist priest, he was confused as to why he had been talking for so long.
"It's just that if the north is in chaos, I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe for the world, and all life will be devastated. It may turn from prosperity to decline overnight. I'm afraid that the nearly 20 million people of Dayan will be lost. I don't know how many people will be lost."
"When you say that, I think it's even more remarkable that he doesn't have any objections."
"Maybe……"
Song You also knew something about General Chen.
From ancient times to the present, most people who hold great power have luck and coincidence. Some of them started out in a daze, but only after they started walking did they see the way forward. If there was one step missing, they might not be able to hold the power later. Even heroes are often influenced by the current situation. General Chen has reached this point without much luck or coincidence. Instead, he took advantage of the current situation. If it weren't for the Saibei people's large-scale invasion of the south, even if he showed great strength, he would not be able to hold a large number of troops so quickly. However, more of it depends on himself.
When he was a teenager, he joined the army as a fighting general. When he went into battle for the first time, he defeated the famous General Saibei. In the following twenty years, he never lost either as a fighting general or as a leader in a battle.
Without him, Dayan today might not be as prosperous as it is now.
There was something in General Chen's heart, and it was these things that brought him to this point step by step, making him invincible, highly convinced by the soldiers, and sought after by the people. However, there are very few things in the world that only work in one direction. These things can also become double-edged swords. Now they also restrain him and prevent him from doing certain things.
Even if it means death.
Song You naturally knew the purpose of General Chen's visit today.
In addition to relieving depression and expressing sadness, it also means asking him for help in a tactful way.
He didn't want to rebel, and he didn't want to die.
Maybe even power doesn’t want to be given up that much.
If General Chen dies, the world will lose a famous general with unparalleled contributions through the ages. If the north rebels and there is civil strife in the Yan Dynasty, it will be a catastrophe for the world, and the number of dead may be counted in the tens of millions. What's even more frightening is that you don't necessarily have to choose one between the two. It's also possible that even if General Chen dies in Changjing, the Zhenbei Army will be in chaos.
Fortunately, you don’t have to choose the same thing.
Or maybe neither will happen.
If the emperor invites Song You into the palace again and asks Song You about General Chen, Song You will naturally be willing to help him, not only to help a famous general through the ages, but also to help the people of the world.
I can’t say that it’s a gang——
I'm just stating my opinions truthfully.
"well……"
The Taoist sighed.
Wu Nuxia doesn’t talk about this anymore.
Inexplicably, she found a pair of eyes staring at her. When she turned her head along the gaze, she found an extremely beautiful but expressionless little face, staring straight at her.
"Teacher Sanhua, this is..."
Upon hearing this, Sanhua Empress looked at her and then at the Taoist priest to make sure they had finished speaking, and then asked:
"Who wants to ask Sanhua Empress to exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons?"
"Oh, I forgot..."
Wu Nuxia patted her forehead, then sat down and said to her carefully: "It's outside Changjing City, Taohua Village, where the Taoist Master and I used to get rid of the female ghosts in the brothel. The one we went to at that time Peach Blossom Mountain is not far from Peach Blossom Village, and that place probably has bad feng shui. For some reason, there were zombies in the past two years."
"Zombie?"
Empress Sanhua held the rag and stared at her.
"Yes, zombies." Wu Nuxia said, "It was said that they had caused trouble before, but they were not so serious at first. They only did some stealing and eating poultry and livestock. The villagers reported it to the government at that time, and the government also sent people I went looking for it. At that time, the thing was very smart. No one dared to look for it at night. During the day, it hid somewhere in an old grave in the mountains, and the hunter couldn't find it. Later, it was said that there were Yin soldiers crossing the border. Maybe it came from it. Passing by the door, for some reason, it swallowed up all the ghost soldiers and escorted ghosts. After a while, it became a climate and began to eat people. Now it still only appears at night, but it doesn't hide when it sees people. Normally The trappers were completely unable to do anything to it, and two of them were bitten to death by it before.”
"It seems very powerful!"
"yes……"
Although Wu Nuxia was facing Sanhua Empress, she still had the same attitude towards Song You three years ago. She did not look down upon her and spoke about the information she had heard as solemnly and in detail as possible:
"Originally, when such an evil thing appears under the emperor's feet, officers and soldiers should be dispatched to eliminate it. Once the imperial army passes by, no matter how terrible the evil thing is, it cannot be penetrated by swords and guns, and it cannot withstand being shot by foot crossbows and bed crossbows. However, recently Changjing seems to have Taiping, in fact, the storm last year has not completely subsided, and there are new undercurrents surging, and no one has sent officers and soldiers to suppress them."
"oh……"
Empress Sanhua didn’t quite understand, but she pretended to nod.
This was how Taoist priests used to be.
"On the contrary, the local villagers and the government have paid for people to treat it. I heard that some reckless men in the world have taken it and want to make a little money to establish themselves in Changjing. However, the thing is already invulnerable, and ordinary men in the world can't do anything about it easily. I invited private gentlemen and used many local methods, but they only treated the symptoms but not the root cause. When I heard about it from my old friend Wude Si, I thought of you, oh, I thought of Empress Sanhua."
Then he looked at Empress Sanhua:
"How about it?"
"How about it!"
"Ms. Sanhua, will you pick it up?"
"Miss Sanhua, pick up!"
"Miss Sanhua is so courageous!"
"Sanhua Empress has wolves, tigers, and mountain gods. Sanhua Empress can also spit fire, which is best for burning evil things." The little girl said seriously, "Sanhua Empress has killed many zombies before."
"The Sanhua Empress has great magical power and vast supernatural powers..."
"..."
The little girl stood there, with no expression on her face, but she was actually thinking hard, thinking about what the Taoist priests said three years ago, and what she should say now.
"Then how can Empress Sanhua get there?"
"The government will send someone to pick you up tomorrow."
"knew!"
The little girl looked away, then lay down on the table again, and wiped the table seriously.
