"King Kong Demon-Suppressing Fist!" Chai Lin, with a beard on his face, exclaimed. He could hardly hold the horizontal knife in his hand, his eyes were red and blood spurted out from a mouthful. The person flew backwards into the grass on one side, like a kite with its string broken.
A sharp light flashed in the round-faced monk's eyes. The corner of his eye glanced at Chai Lin who had fallen into the grass. He saw Chai Lin lying unresponsive in the grass. Unexpectedly, several horse army guards actually recognized the kung fu of the two of them.
My boxing technique can be said to be simple in moves, but it contains the profoundness of the Buddhist subjugation of demons. When used in conjunction with the master's "Vajra Qi", it can be said to have endless magical effects. Thinking that that person is also the best at this fist, and now he is in a high position in Dazhou, he must have used it in front of others, and people who are interested must have seen it and remembered it.
Remembering the mission of the two of them on this trip, and the instructions of the person who came, but also remembering his own faith, the round-faced monk was obviously struggling in his heart. Looking at the brave knights who were not afraid of death, and even Chai Lin who was lying in the grass. He felt something was wrong in his heart, and couldn't help but look at the tall companion beside him.
"Haha, ugly bald donkey, Your Majesty has long expected that there will be people blocking and robbing people along the way. We have sent eight cavalry teams together, how many can you stop? Hahahaha!" One of the knights' face was covered with blood. He looked at the two monks laughing crazily, and slashed randomly with the horizontal knife in his hand. It was obvious that he had been seriously injured, and his eyes were already a little scattered.
He kept slashing with the knife, but it seemed that he had lost his target. He almost chopped down his companion, scaring his originally exposed companion so much that he didn't know what happened to him! But his crazy look was a bit proud. Although he was almost beaten to death by two monks, the sneer in the corner of his eyes really made people feel how proud he was.
He was really at the end of his rope. Even an ordinary strong man could knock him down, but he still wavered his sword unsteadily and slashed at the two monks. No one wanted to get close to him.
His inner organs had been shattered by the monk's fierce punch. These two monks possessed the unique knowledge of Buddhism's "Vajra Qi". How could ordinary guards and people in the world be able to handle them. However, these two monks were obviously showing mercy, otherwise they could have dealt with these knights in just a few moves.
But these knights are all shouldering heavy responsibilities. Not only are they brave and unafraid of death, they are also very loyal and fearless. It's a pity that they met two opponents who were much stronger than themselves. What they relied on now was just a mouthful of courage and unwillingness in their hearts.
The seriously injured knight fought hard and had his own thoughts in his heart. Chai Lin, who fell in the grass, did not move. He looked obviously no better than the knight.
"Brother, we have been fooled!" The tall monk had a hint of anger on his face, and golden light flashed on his palms. Looking at the knights, he felt murderous intent in his heart.
"Amitabha!" The round-faced monk looked calm, as if he knew what his junior brother was thinking, and the Buddha's name seemed to want to wake up his junior brother.
Seeing that the remaining four knights' faces turned red, they were obviously tortured by the two people. The movements of his men slowed down, and the round-faced monk naturally knew that these people were far from being his opponents. There was no proud look on his face, but he started thinking clearly with his eyes.
His men occasionally deflected attacks, and the weapons of the four were unable to get close at all. His men actually slowed down and looked at his junior brother who had some doubts. The look in the corner of his eyes was still calm, but he sighed in his heart.
Regardless of whether the opponent is your opponent or not, the feeling of being too far apart in skill is like a punch on cotton. The round-faced monk seemed to have thought of something. He swung his long sleeves and shook away the two knights entangled with him. The shaky knight was also shaken by the strong wind and fell to the ground.
The round-faced monk stopped, and regardless of how many people wanted to come up with the sword, he turned his head and looked at the tall monk and said calmly: "Junior Qingben, the cycle of cause and effect will inevitably lead to retribution! We Buddhist disciples will practice to the Buddha throughout our lives. , even though you have the responsibility to eliminate demons, you still need to keep a clear mind in this troubled world. I'm afraid killing these people at this moment will not help!"
He originally had murderous intentions in mind, but when he suddenly remembered, his master's instructions to his brothers, some words in them, caused him to suddenly wake up.
The cycle of cause and effect depends on nature and people!
As the contemporary leader of the Xinzhang sect, Master Chengchu, who is stationed at the Xiangguo Temple dojo in Xi, is a world-famous eminent monk.
At the request of his disciple Zhao Kuangyin, he dispatched eighteen of his disciples to help Zhao Kuangyin achieve his great cause. Master Chengchu has read countless people and believes that Zhao Kuangyin has a strange vision and will definitely achieve great things in these troubled times.
Before leaving, Master Chengchu personally said these words to the eighteen disciples. At that time, no one understood or understood its meaning.
These two monks are the disciples of Master Chengchu, and they are also two of the eighteen disciples. They are called Qingyin and Qingben respectively.
This time the two of them followed Zhao Kuangyin to Waqiao Pass and followed him disguised as sergeants. Not only did they serve as Zhao Kuangyin's bodyguards, they also did many things for him.
Just this morning, I suddenly received a hint from Zhao Kuangyin, asking them to come here to intercept a secret edict. So after they saw the knights coming out of seclusion, the two of them naturally started to use their methods, taking shortcuts along the way, and finally arrived in front of the knights.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuangyin had a comprehensive plan, and Guo Rong was an extraordinary figure. Not only did he set up a clever plan, but he also had three cunning tricks.
I thought I had it all figured out, but I didn't expect that I was still in the middle of someone else's scheme.
I have always considered myself a hunter! How do you feel when you find out that you are someone else's prey?
The round-faced Qingyin no longer had the intention to kill and silence him. Although he knew he shouldn't do this, he didn't know why, but he still didn't act cruelly. After knocking out several knights respectively, the two of them searched everywhere, but as expected they found nothing.
The two brothers looked at each other. Although they were speechless, they sighed deeply in their hearts. There is still a trace of luck in my heart, that is, I still have some brothers who have also followed the whereabouts of several groups of knights, hoping that they can gain something.
Under the scorching sun, the two monks looked at the knights in the grass on the roadside, feeling a little confused!
"Poof" a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the wooden boards on the floor of the room red.
Guo Rong, who was lying on the soft couch, his eyes weak, suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, his handsome pale face turned red, and even his nostrils came out with bright red blood.
Although Guo Rong is not a top master in the martial arts world, he had adventures when he was young and got some tips on breathing and practicing. Later, when he walked in the arena, he received guidance from many people, so his body was definitely much stronger than that of ordinary generals.
However, the Northern Expedition and his party have not yet spent a single soldier. Moreover, as the emperor, Guo Rong did not need to go out to fight. But looking at his condition at this time, it was obviously extremely bad.
Standing next to her was a tall girl dressed as a palace maid with a thin face. Seeing Guo Rong's painful look, she actually had tears in her eyes. There is a serving woman beside her. Compared with this girl, she looks very different in temperament and feeling.
Obviously this girl is not an ordinary palace maid, she is just wearing the decoration of a palace maid. Her concerned eyes also showed her different identities. Seeing Guo Rong's painful look, she wanted to go forward and wipe him with a silk towel, but Guo Rong shook his head and refused.
This palace maid also has fair skin and a curvy figure. However, looking at her standing tall and confident, she looks like a woman who regularly exercises and exercises, and is very athletic. Although she is dressed in palace attire, she is not comparable to those pampered palace maids.
She excitedly stepped forward to help Guo Rong, but she revealed that she was wearing clothes underneath to facilitate movement.
Judging from her expression, she was not like other palace maids who would be humble and submissive in front of the emperor, but she looked at Guo Rong with concern.
Seeing Guo Rong's expression of pain, she couldn't help but look at Chen Shouyuan who was standing there.
Chen Shouyuan's eyes seemed to open and close, and he didn't know whether he looked at Guo Rong or not. However, he seemed to be well aware of Guo Rong's situation and was not as nervous as the palace maid.
Guo Rong's cheeks were flushed, but his body was a little weak, and he even felt like blood was rushing to his brain.
He knew that this was the Soul Seizing Powder that was constantly corroding him, but he didn't expect that this Soul Seizing Powder was so powerful. He had heard Chen Shouyuan talk about this state a long time ago. Although he understood the characteristics of this medicine and had to spurt out blood several times a day, Guo Rong was increasingly worried.
I didn't find any clues. I don't know when I was poisoned by this poison. All the people serving around me have been checked. Even one or two of them had problems and disappeared before I checked.
Guo Rong even felt a sense of defeat. He, who had always been high-spirited, felt helpless for the first time.
He grasped the handle of the soft couch tightly, and his fingers looked white from overexertion. He tried not to let himself fall down, but his eyelids were trembling.
Looking at the palace maid who was looking at him with concern, Guo Rong couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and actually grinned at her, indicating that he was fine.
Thinking of Chen Shouyuan's previous advice, saying that he needed peace of mind and not have big fluctuations, Guo Rong felt a little helpless.
This push of the army to the north is a step in his grand plan, and it seems that everything is going well so far. The recovery of the Northland will be a century-old plan, and it will also be an action that will eliminate future troubles for the Zhou Dynasty. The merits and demerits of thousands of years will be commented by future generations, which is also a complex that Guo Rong cannot let go of.
I have been doing business with people since I was a child, and I have been fortunate enough to travel around the world. Not only do I understand the hardships of people's livelihood, but I also understand the principle of people's aspiration for peace. I have a good grasp of the pass terrains in all parts of the world, so that now I basically know the world like the back of my hand.
Seeing the current situation of the world, he often expresses emotion and is determined to create a new world and return a bright future to the people of the world.
If you have this idea in your life, you naturally need an opportunity!
Either he can be a powerful minister, or he can control the country.
In just a few years, the land of the Central Plains has undergone unpredictable changes, and dynasties have continued to change.
Being in the strongest sphere of influence in the Central Plains, Great Zhou successfully conquered the world. Guo Rong also got his wish. Not only did he become a very popular minister in a short period of time, but he also successfully controlled the strongest army in the world, truly controlling the country.
Guo Rong was very high-spirited that day, thinking that he would definitely work hard to fully display his ambitions in his life, and he is now also displaying his ambitions.
Guo Rong has never lost hope in himself and has become more confident! He believed that there was no obstacle that he could not overcome, not to mention that the current situation was very good for him.
Guo Rong summoned capable ministers and patriots from the Central Plains to brainstorm ideas, and finally settled on the idea of unifying all parts of the Central Plains.
Looking at the overall situation of the world, many people with unique vision have proposed that they should first pacify the north and then unify the south.
Some so-called idlers in later generations thought they had some estimates and some intelligence! I also rehearsed the pattern of this era and calculated various possibilities, but in the end I could only laugh at it.
After all, nothing has happened, and no one knows what the changes may be!
And what happened can only be history. Even if we try to make up for it and strengthen it, it will never go back to the beginning.
Because since ancient history, there has been no such example of a southern regime ruling the north. Only by driving out foreigners with difficulty first and then with ease can the world be unified. Guo Rong himself believed this because he understood the desires of the people all over the world.
Although the Northern Territory was not lost in the hands of the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou established its power in the Central Plains and took over the power in the Central Plains, so the Great Zhou must have this responsibility.
The Liao Kingdom was a barbarian state, and it was a foreign ethnic group outside the country. They were not the descendants of the Han people, Yan and Huang, since ancient times. Of course, in Guo Rong's mind, this is not the main problem. But the Liao Kingdom was very ambitious, and now it is fully supporting the puppet Northern Han Dynasty, which is causing trouble in his heart, and is trying its best to resist its own army.
For the Great Zhou Dynasty, which inherited the tradition of the Central Plains, it could expel the Liao Kingdom as its own mission, annex the puppet Northern Han Dynasty in an attempt to unify, and even hope to regain the northern land. This would be the immortal achievement of the Great Zhou Dynasty! It is also the domination that Guo Rong is most proud of.
But what makes Guo Rong more tangled is that the prevailing trend of thought in the court is completely opposite, especially the ministers represented by Wang Pu.
Not only did they formulate a careful unified plan for themselves, but they also firmly pointed out the benefits of doing it easier first, which is basically the opposite of their own intentions.
Because the current state of the Central Plains is far from the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the past, not only the treasury expenses for conquests, but also the food rations to feed them are often difficult to complete.
The army he conscripted sounded like hundreds of thousands of troops, but in fact most of them came just to have enough to eat. Presumably the separatist forces in various places have more soldiers who think this way. With the help of this kind of army, Guo Rong really didn't know what his chances of success would be if he fought.
Although Guo Rong has not traveled around the country in the past two years, he still knows the current situation in the Central Plains. There are really no one in the land for thousands of miles. As for the beautiful southern countries, the spies he sent to various places reported that their environment is really desirable.
He has successively captured many state capitals of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and is now separated from the Southern Tang Dynasty by a river. Our side is very poor, but the people of Tang State on the other side of the river are extremely rich. It is said that not only was he drunk and dreaming of life, but he also had rice to eat every day, and even more fish and meat.
Guo Rong also knew that although the Jiangbei area was recovered, many people still crossed the river. Because after Guo Rong occupied Jiangbei, he not only ordered the looting of all the material wealth in various state capitals, but also strictly controlled rationing. Many people were accustomed to living a leisurely life in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but how could they endure such hardships.
Guo Rong has not kept statistics on how many of them defected from North Korea, and he also understands that the people below do not dare to report truthfully to him. However, Guo Rong would still learn from other channels that many officials and sergeants were absconding with their families. Although many people were captured, they were still repeatedly imprisoned.
why is that!
It's because today's Dazhou is not enough to be desirable!
Guo Rong even took the lead in calling for thrift and diligence, but how many people could implement it. Guo Rong also forcibly ordered officials from various places to lead by example, and even controlled and suppressed Buddhist and Taoist temples within the territory. He accumulated a large amount of wealth, but it was far from being able to meet his own needs.
Shuzhong, which is close by, was originally Guo Rong's best choice. Unfortunately, for the Northern Expedition and the control of the Northern Puppet Han, he simply could not spare any additional energy and financial resources. What's more, the Shu Road in Shu has been an obstacle since ancient times. If I don't have full confidence, I really can't mobilize troops easily.
This is like a beggar holding a golden rice bowl in his hand, but he cannot beg for food. Guo Rong was damn hungry, but he could only watch helplessly as his eyes were filled with food and money.
Therefore, taking advantage of the best season, Guo Rong wanted to launch his own army to give the Liao Kingdom and the Puppet Northern Han Dynasty a showdown, and then turn around to deal with Shuzhong or the Southern Tang Dynasty. Not only can it subsequently replenish the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it can also serve as a warning to others and frighten the regimes in various places.
Guo Rong saw hope!
But is this really an opportunity?
Guo Rong suddenly regretted that he should not have led the expedition in person this time! It wasn't that he was afraid of death, but that Guo Rong felt that this invisible network was slowly closing in on him.
A trap that has been designed for a long time, waiting for you to quietly get into it.
First, he confuses his own vision and lets Zhang Yongde, who has always been at the forefront of the storm, come forward to make himself think that he is operating everything. The other party has even shrewdly thought about the consequences of his complicated relationship with Zhang Yongde.
Guo Rong understood better than anyone else. He knew from the beginning that it would not be Zhang Yongde. No matter how the other party misled everyone in the opposite direction, he made himself think that it was Zhang Yongde's trick. Still constantly putting pressure on Zhang Yongde, Zhang Yongde developed a real resentment towards himself.
Zhang Yongde was smarter than he thought. When he led his team to the north, he didn't even return home and followed him directly. He obviously wanted to avoid suspicion. Guo Rong understood this better than anyone else. As the biggest threat to him from the Zhou royal family, he didn't want to hide anything.
Especially in last night's report, although Zhang Yongde did not name anyone or point out who was more suspicious, there was no doubt that Guo Rong knew that something was wrong with the people around him.
Guo Rong sent more than ten cavalry squads and asked them to return to the capital! The information received made Guo Rong unable to help but be angry. Sure enough, someone intercepted and killed these cavalry teams.
Luring the snake out of its hole with one move, it really made the other party have no scruples!
Although he found out that there was indeed someone plotting around him, it made Guo Rong extremely angry. Although Chen Shouyuan repeatedly reminded him not to be angry, Guo Rong still couldn't control himself.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of the people of the world, please take care of your dragon body!" The palace maid who had been standing by looked at Guo Rong worriedly! Although he stood up straight, his voice was still gentle.
"Don't worry, Luquan County Master! Your Majesty can vomit out the accumulated blood at this moment, which is good for the hidden toxins in the body!" Chen Shouyuan still didn't open his eyes, standing there with the old god, as if he knew the worries in the palace maid's heart, and was very logical. said slowly.
A smile appeared on Guo Rong's face, and he looked at the palace maid aside, his eyes filled with gratitude. Since he went to war, he could not bring his concubine with him, but this woman came to take care of him without hesitation.
He actually took a breath quietly while sitting there, and the blush on his face became much lighter. Looking at the palace maid, she said softly: "Lu Quan, thank you for your hard work. You have been with me all the way during this Northern Expedition. Although there has been no war until now, you have not rested to accompany me. If you return to the capital, how will I communicate with the Queen and Xuan?" Yi explained!"
Because this woman was not a woman in his palace, but only came to take care of him for others, Guo Rong felt a little more respectful in his heart. What's more, this woman is of noble birth, and many people can't even imagine that she can take care of herself.
Chen Shouyuan actually opened his eyes. He naturally knew the identity of this woman. Even though he was usually extremely conceited, he was still somewhat aloof and aloof. But knowing that the woman dressed as a palace maid, even the status of many concubines in the palace, was far inferior to her. And she had no inhibitions about what she did when she came to Guo Rong's side, and she couldn't help but think highly of her.
The woman dressed as a palace maid also glanced at him and felt that Chen Shouyuan's expression was normal. She couldn't help but whisper quietly: "Sir, of course, he knows the toxins on His Majesty's body well. Sister Xuanyi also knew His Majesty's temperament well! Now the Queen of the capital My sister is worried about His Majesty again, so what does it mean for Luquan to spend so much time on Your Majesty’s behalf!”
"Okay, okay!" Guo Rong's face actually showed a glow, but his eyes suddenly turned gloomy. He seemed to have remembered something, and said loudly: "I am so lucky to live up to the Wei King family!"
It turned out that the woman dressed as a palace maid was actually a woman from Wei Wang Fu Yanqing's clan. Her name was Fu Diqing, and she was the sister of Guo Rong's two Fu queens. Because she was a daughter of a concubine of the Fu family, but in the Fu family with two queens, she was also named the county head by Guo Rong.
