Beimang, Xijing.
In the small attic, beside the sting tank.
The incarnations of Empress Murong and Master Qilin have long since left, leaving only nine real hermits who have lived here for decades to keep an eye on what's going on in the tank.
At this time, the originally calm water surface in the tank suddenly became rippled, and a small colorful carp swimming leisurely suddenly sank to the bottom.
"This is!"
Yelu Guangzhu was shocked. As an astrologer whose ancestors had deduced prophecies for the Beimang royal family for generations, how could he not know what the koi sinking to the bottom meant?
This means that the popularity number associated with it has been exhausted, commonly known as - dead!
You must know that those who can enter this stinging tank are the real big shots in the Beimang temple world. The death of any person for no reason is a major event that affects the whole body.
"Quick, look whose fish this is!"
Several people around were calculating for a while.
"It's Huang Qing."
"Huang Qing from Qi Jian Yue Mansion? Didn't he act with Tuoba Bodhisattva? How could he..."
Before he finished speaking, another koi sank in the tank.
Yelu Guangzhu took a long breath of air-conditioning: "Quickly, go and inform His Majesty. Also, hurry up and see who it is this time?"
A hermit opened the door and left. The others suppressed their inner shock and hurriedly began to deduce the identity of the person corresponding to the second fish.
"He's Zhong Liang, the younger brother of General Zhong with magical powers!"
At this time, the raging waves had almost lifted out about a quarter of the water in the sting tank, leaving a mess on the ground.
The fish in the sting tank correspond to the luck of many talents in Beimang, while the seemingly ordinary water in this tank represents the national destiny of the entire Beimang dynasty.
The overflow of so much water in the tank is far more fatal than the death of two promising masters!
Seeing this, Yelu Guangzhu was trembling all over. He didn't know what happened in the outside world and why it caused such a big turmoil.
Empress Murong arrived very quickly. The stinging vat was related to the national destiny of Beimang, so she couldn't help but ignore it.
An incarnation of National Master Yuan Qingshan is still following closely.
"What's the situation now?"
After entering the attic, the empress looked at the messy sting tank and turned her attention to Yelu Guangzhu and others.
Facing that majestic gaze, Yelu Guangzhu was under great pressure, but he had no choice but to take a step forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I just stung Huang Qing and Zhongliang's koi in the sleeping tank without wind and waves. Not only did they sink one after another, they also spilled a lot of water.”
Empress Murong's eyes were dark and dignified, showing no anger or authority.
Although she was not as clear as those astrology practitioners about what the phenomenon described by Yelu Guangzhu represented, she could still get a rough idea.
"Come here! Let's leave Zhong Liang aside for now and go ask Tuoba, what's going on with Huang Qing?"
She said coldly.
Someone next to him immediately took the order and left.
At this moment, the waves in the sting tank became even more intense, and a lot of water splashed out. After a few flips, a giant shark with four claws appeared in the stunned eyes of Yelu Guangzhu and others. He actually sank under his gaze.
Their strange behavior gave Empress Murong an ominous premonition in her heart: "Who was that fish just now?"
"That's... Lord Tuoba."
Yelu Guangzhu finished speaking with a trembling voice, and he simply didn't dare to look at the empress's expression at this time.
In fact, the empress is not the only one who can't believe it?
Everyone in this room, except for Yuan Qingshan, the national master who has long been a Taoist saint, doesn't everyone else respect Tuoba Bodhisattva like a god?
The prestige of this No. 1 martial arts and military expert in Beimang is unparalleled in Beimang. Among some groups, it even surpasses Empress Murong by a few points.
"Is it Wang Xianzhi who came to Beimang?"
Someone muttered as if talking to themselves.
In their eyes, the only person qualified to confront Tuoba Bodhisattva and overwhelm him is the invincible king who can dominate the world for sixty years.
"impossible."
As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately rebutted, "Wang Xianzhi's energy is so huge that it is difficult to hide every move he makes. And even Wang Xianzhi cannot do it so easily..."
During their low-pitched argument, Empress Murong calmed down and said sternly: "Cha, tell Li Mibi that all the cobwebs are out, and you must find out for me at all costs, what is going on?!"
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles.
However, Empress Murong, who was far away in Xijing, could not vent her anger on Chi Yao and others for the time being.
Tuoba Bodhisattva's luck is extremely profound, and because of his status, it would be difficult for Chi Yao to get much if he were allowed to transform naturally.
Because the luck gathered on the opponent mainly comes from two sources.
The first one is the luck of the rivers and lakes assigned to him as the first person in Beimang Martial Arts. This is somewhat similar to Wang Xianzhi. Chi Yao can barely take away the part of it that belongs to the demonic path.
The second is that as the Beimang Military God, Chi Yao had nothing to do with the luck he received from the Beimang temple. After the death of Tuoba Bodhisattva, this part of the luck would probably be divided equally among the other Beimang people. The general and the commander in chief.
However, rather than letting fate take its course, Chi Yao appreciates the concept of plucking the feathers of geese and leaving the skin of beasts. Tuoba Bodhisattva was killed by himself, and his luck is naturally his own trophy. Why should he return it to Beimang? Let them reassign? That doesn't make sense, right?
But luck is different from other things. You can't just rob it by force. No matter what, it needs a name.
Chi Yao couldn't give this to him no matter what, so he couldn't join Beimang, right?
But he also has his own methods.
"Come out, little Pixiu, it's time to work!"
Chi Yao whistled and released Little Pixiu. Well, it is no longer appropriate to continue to call it "Little Pixiu". Pixiu's current size has surpassed Chi Yao's height even when he is lying down. The small wings on his back are finally no longer just decorations, and he is truly a "big Pixiu".
"Well, it's him. You can eat as much of his luck as you can, don't waste it."
Pointing to Tuoba Bodhisattva on the ground, Chi Yao said.
"Roar!"
Pixiu roared with joy, is this such a good thing?
As a "Tian Lu Beast", it likes to collect blessings and blessings from heaven. These things are the resources for its growth. Luck undoubtedly belongs to the category of God-given blessings. If you are a professional counterpart, then what is there to hesitate about?
eat!
After devouring it for a while, he managed to eat it all before the opponent died, leaving not a drop for Bei Mang.
"very good!"
Chi Yao greatly appreciated this wasteful behavior. He touched Pixiu's neck and said, "I'll let you digest it slowly when I go back. There is one more important thing to do now."
…
…
A moment later, Helian Wuwei, who was waiting outside the Nine Dragon Wall with his own army, was reminded by his bodyguard.
"General, look!"
He suddenly turned around.
At the river channel that had been diverted and vacated, the exquisitely carved nine-dragon wall suddenly shattered, and a golden light suddenly shot out.
Looking carefully, a strange beast with a body like gold and jade, a dragon head, a tiger body, eagle wings, and a leopard tail is suspended in mid-air.
There are still figures scattered on its back.
"Who are you?"
When Helian Wuwei saw that none of Tuoba Bodhisattva and the others came out, he secretly thought something was wrong. He ordered his men to be on guard and asked loudly.
"I, Chi Yao, you can also call me the Demon Lord."
Chi Yao rode on Pi Xiu's back and laughed loudly, "It was a great pleasure to hunt in Beimang today. Now that my interest is gone, I'll say goodbye!"
Hearing the word "hunting", Helian Wuwei's heart skipped a beat. He asked in a trembling voice: "I wonder where the person who knows how to hunt with you is?"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Chi Yao laughed loudly when he heard the words, gently crossed his legs, and forced Pi Xiu to flap his wings, turning into a golden stream of light across the sky, leaving only a lingering sound to Helian Wuwei.
"Tuoba Bodhisattva, not bad."
"Damn it! Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow!"
While Helian Wuwei commanded the Control Bi Army to attack Chi Yao and his party who flew away from the sky, Helian Wuwei hurriedly sent his subordinates to dig and search for traces of Tuoba Bodhisattva and others.
He had great confidence in Tuoba Bodhisattva. Even though the other party had already produced an extraordinary-looking beast, Tuoba Bodhisattva's prestige accumulated over decades in Beimang was not easily broken.
Everyone, including Helian Wuwei, felt that the other party might have used some mechanism to temporarily trap Tuoba Bodhisattva and others. Otherwise, why were they leaving in such a hurry? As if running away?
It just so happened that Luoyang also asked this question.
"You have killed Tuoba Bodhisattva. Who else in Beimang needs to be afraid of? Why should we escape?"
"Once Tuoba Bodhisattva dies, everyone in Beimang will go crazy. If you are interested in fighting the millions of people in Beimang, you can go down alone. I don't have such a hobby anyway."
Chi Yao waved his hand, "By the way, after this trip, you can go back to Beiliang directly, but be careful not to let anyone recognize you as Huang Baozhuang."
"What's wrong?"
Being secretive is not in line with Luoyang's domineering style.
"I have suffered a big loss on this trip to Beimang, and I must find a way to regain my position. You and I have already exposed our names and appearances, and will become the targets of Beimang's revenge. So I am going to Liaodong next, and I will go to Taipei by the way. Let’s take a look at Anjo.”
"Hiss~"
Luoyang took a breath, "I'm afraid Emperor Liyang will be mad at you."
Since Beimang's first target is Chi Yao, it is natural to move troops closer to him. If he shows up in Liaodong, Beimang will definitely have no reason to attack Beiliang in the west.
"As for Beiliang, let Huang Sanjia plan carefully during this period. While Beimang and Liyang are fighting in Liaodong, see if you can win the Western Region. Also, let's see how you convince Xu Xiao and obtain Beiliang. That group of arrogant soldiers admitted it."
"Um."
Ying Zheng nodded, his expression unwavering, it was indeed his turn to perform next.
"Okay! We'll see you later!"
Chi Yao found an opportunity to put the two of them down in the middle, and then rode Pixiu all the way through the city, for fear that someone would not know the trajectory of his movements.
…
…
Liyang, Tai'an City.
Bang!
Emperor Zhao Dun dropped another vase.
"What does he mean?! Didn't I already send someone to tell him that as long as he is willing to stay in Beiliang during this period, I can write off the matters in Longhu Mountain and Guangling! In the end, he still insisted on going his own way. We must go to Liaodong!"
Zhao Dun was no longer as tolerant and magnanimous as usual. He looked like an angry bull, and his eyes were red with anger.
"That's enough, it's too ugly."
Yuan Benxi opened his eyes and said lightly.
"Master Yuan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Zhao Dun turned around and gritted his teeth and said, "As long as Beiliang and Beimang consume each other to a certain extent this time, Prime Minister Zhang's plan to cut down the vassal clan may be accomplished overnight, and Liyang's thousand-year-old foundation will be destroyed by this ignorant man. !”
Since the Liyang Dynasty unified the Central Plains, there has always been a considerable hidden danger, and that is the vassal town. The largest feudal town is Beiliang.
In the battle to unify the Central Plains, Xu Xiao's contribution was too great, and the soldiers under his command were too loyal. They only had eyes for the Xu banner and not the Zhao royal family. But at that time, only Beiliang's 300,000 elites could barely resist Beimang's march south. Even though the Liaodong Defense Line, which invested half of the country's efforts, was later built, the importance of Beiliang did not decrease at all.
Li Yang wants these 300,000 elites, but he doesn't want their heads, the Xu family.
But they have strayed away from the Xu family. No one can tell how many of these 300,000 elites are willing to fight for the Zhao family. This is not something that can be tried casually.
Once the situation is misjudged, either the Xu family will directly raise troops to resist, or no one can stop them from going north and south, and the Central Plains will be devastated.
So in the end, Zhang Julu, the current Prime Minister of Liyang, formulated a strategy to make Beimang and Beiliang consume each other, with Zhao's Huangque behind.
The plan has been going relatively smoothly. Under their propaganda, the three states of Beiliang have almost been expelled from Liyang, and they have become a state within a state. They fight alone against Beimang, which occupies half of the world, and suffer losses. Very big.
If Chi Yao can lead Beimang's revenge army to Beiliang at this time, this plan may be successful in one battle. From now on, once Beiliang, the biggest hidden danger among the vassal kings, is gone, it will be logical for the other vassal kings of the Zhao family to deal with it, and Liyang's system will become healthier and longer-lasting.
However, things did not go as planned. Zhao Dun sent Zhao Gou's people to talk to Chi Yao about the matter. As a result, Chi Yao killed him without even listening to the emperor's appeal. It can be said that he did not treat the emperor at all. The emperor of Ji Zhongyuan took it seriously.
"How dare he!!!"
"how do you want to do it?"
Yuan Benxi asked, "Send someone to capture him and send him to Beimang?"
"...That won't be the case,"
Zhao Dun breathed a sigh of relief, "You can still tell the difference between the less important and the more important. Doing that will definitely cause criticism from all over the world. Even if it is a demon, it is Liyang's demon. How can it be left to Beimang? Besides, he If we can kill Tuoba Bodhisattva, whether we capture him alive or kill him, the price we have to pay is too high."
"It's good if you can figure this out."
Yuan Benxi nodded, approving of the emperor's sanity.
"Then we can only let Gu Jiantang go to Liaodong to garrison, and at the same time give an order to Xu Xiao to personally lead the Beiliang army to attack Beimang and penetrate directly into the royal court!"
Zhao Dun stroked the beard on his chin, "If it is done properly, it may not be able to achieve the results we expect. As for Chi Yao...it seems it is time to reschedule the martial arts review."
