In November, the strategy of dispatching troops was decided. At the foot of Yucheng Mountain, the mountain puppet army held a grand oath-taking ceremony. Tens of thousands of the mountain puppet army gathered here. Mu Sheng stepped forward to encourage morale, and the mountain puppet soldiers shouted long live.
Mu Sheng stepped forward to encourage General Borjak, who led the troops, and told him: "Zongbi led the troops to conquer the Duzhou State. Now these 40,000 troops are for you to conquer the Luwa State. This state can also be regarded as within the territory of Taisha." It’s a big country, with Taisha’s 20,000 elite troops stationed there, do you have the confidence to take down Luwa State in one fell swoop?”
This was the first time for Borjak to lead the team independently. He was full of excitement and saluted the Emperor's chest protector: "Old ancestor, I will never live up to your expectations. I can do anything that the seventh uncle can do." arrive."
Mu Sheng nodded and said: "Okay, very good. I look forward to your performance on the battlefield. If we can successfully capture Lu Wa State and you like that city, I will make the decision to grant it to you as your direct territory."
When Borjak heard this, he was overjoyed and said loudly: "Ancestor, don't worry, Jacques will win this battle if he attacks and wins."
Hearing this, Mu Sheng nodded slightly with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go. I'll be waiting for your good news in Yucheng."
After receiving the order, Borjak got on his horse and ordered the three armies to set off with high spirits. The military formation turned into a long snake formation, drums and trumpets sounded loudly, and the army slowly embarked on the journey.
After Mu Sheng watched the mixed team of mountain puppets and Taisha soldiers go out for the expedition, he got on the chariot and returned to the palace of Yucheng. Now is a rare time for Taisha to be weak. He has to seize this historical window and desperately expand his power. However, the mountain puppets' military expansion operations were more clever than those of the former tribe, which gave the Taisha nobles a retreat. After the Shanpu army went out, the battle loss rate was much lower than that of the former tribe. The reason is very simple. As long as the enemy has a retreat, he will I will never fight to the end.
In the Yucheng Tavern, Guo Xie was still having a drink in the private room as usual. Today, Wu Xie was discussing state affairs with the king in the palace, and he was the only one here to entertain himself.
At this moment, in the private room, a Taisha dancer in cool clothes was performing a dance in the room. This woman was Guo Jue's new concubine. The dancer's graceful figure and pretty face made Guo Jue's blood surge. The charm of an exotic woman is truly extraordinary.
Guo Jue took a sip of wine and called to the dancer: "Come here and have a drink with me."
Hearing this, the dancer smiled coquettishly and sat in Guo Jue's arms. She raised her wine glass and fed Guo Jue a drink.
Guo Xuan took the opportunity to kiss the dancer Rou. While the two were making out, outside the private room of the tavern, the owner of the tavern reported: "Sir, there is news from the Central Plains again."
When Guo Jue heard this, he was a little disappointed, so he called the tavern owner into the private room and handed him the secret message. This was his rule, but he had to check the secret message from the Central Plains as soon as possible. Because of the distance, the intelligence network must report intelligence from the capital at least once a month.
Guo Jue, who was responsible for connecting intelligence, opened a letter written in secret language. He took a look at it, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately got up and went to the palace to meet with King Zhennan.
After Guo Xuan entered the main hall, he saw that Mu Sheng was discussing the military situation with Wu Xie, so he did not disturb him. When the two of them had almost reached the point of discussion, Guo Xuan stepped forward and handed the secret letter to Mu Sheng solemnly.
After Mu Sheng opened the secret letter and read it, his face was solemn. He turned to Guo Xuan and asked, "Did the imperial court send an imperial envoy to secretly take me to Beijing? Is it possible that His Majesty is ill?"
After hearing this, Guo Jue shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. The news from our intelligence personnel in Beijing said that His Majesty personally appeared on the south bank of Qingshui last month and set up an altar to worship heaven and earth. Qingyang's spies did not inquire at all. There are rumors that His Majesty is ill, but the palace has recently announced that His Majesty is practicing in seclusion, but we don’t know why. After all, Shanpupu is too far away from the Central Plains. This news came more than twenty days ago."
Hearing this, Mu Sheng nodded and said, "Perhaps I'm overthinking it. With the great patriarch Ahrami guarding your majesty, I thought that nothing major would happen to my father. The last incident at the Taiji Palace, your majesty also recovered. ?"
Hearing this, Wu Xie frowned and reminded: "Your Majesty, I always feel that something is fishy, so I must be cautious. This secret letter says that you are being summoned to the palace secretly. I'm afraid the matter is not simple. Do you still remember the last time?" After secretly summoning the king to Tai Chi Palace, didn’t the Tai Chi Palace Incident happen?”
When Mu Sheng heard this, his expression changed slightly and he hesitated: "If His Majesty is ill, could it be that An Guojun summoned me to the capital under the guise of the emperor's decree?"
When Guo Xuan and Wu Xie heard this, their expressions changed slightly, which meant that Gongzi Xiu might have to clean up the princes who might threaten his status before ascending the throne.
When Wu Xie heard this, he shook his head and said, "You shouldn't! Logically speaking, it has been nearly three years since your Majesty left the capital. I'm afraid that the prominent people in the capital have almost forgotten you. What can you do to Lord An Guo?" What's the threat?"
Guo Xuan thought for a moment, then stepped forward to persuade him: "Your Majesty, I think you should be careful in sailing the ten thousand year ship. Otherwise, let your substitute Cai Gui go to the capital to explore the reality for you. If it is safe, Your Majesty, you can go and check it out." Cai Gui comes back."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he wanted to agree, but then he shook his head and said, "No, the substitute can hide it for a while, but it cannot be concealed forever. If the substitute is allowed to appear in front of the saint, the secret will have to be revealed. It is estimated that even An Guojun will not be able to hide it. At that time, things will be difficult to deal with.”
Mu Sheng clasped his hands behind his back and paced for a long time before finally saying, "No, I still have to go to the Central Plains. I'm always grateful that something big is going to happen."
Wu Xie said: "Your Majesty, you must be extremely careful when you go here."
Hearing this, Mu Sheng smiled and said: "It's okay, I am a monk in the realm of Four Elements. Not many people know about this matter. If something big happens, it will not be easy to stop me. Otherwise, what kind of cultivation will I have?" It’s not like cultivating the dog.”
Guo Xuan and Wu Xie heard this and agreed. Indeed, even if they couldn't beat him, there was still no problem in running away.
Seeing that Mu Sheng was going to make the trip in person, Guo Xuan reminded him: "Your Majesty, after we received the news, although it was sent by flying pigeons, this news was almost a month ago. It is expected that your substitute has also followed. The imperial envoy is on his way to the capital, is your Majesty confident that he will catch up with the imperial envoy's cavalry within ten days?"
Mu Sheng said confidently: "I am a monk. If I can travel faster than a thousand-mile horse with all my strength, I can just follow the routine I practiced in advance last year. Let alone ten days. With my current cultivation level, it will take five days." You can rush to the front of the imperial cavalry team in advance to wait for them."
Guo Xuan said: "Without further delay, Your Majesty, you will set off first, and I will rush to the capital to meet you later."
Mu Sheng said: "Okay, then I will take the first step."
Before leaving, Mu Sheng found two more elders. Bortas and Morosh explained the state affairs. Now is the critical moment for the country to use troops. Naturally, Wu Xie has to stay and make further plans for Shan Puppet. .
After saying that, Mu Sheng turned around and went to his bedroom to take out a set of powerful clothes. After changing his clothes, he came to Muyinaqi's bedroom.
Muyinaqi looked up and saw that it was Mu Sheng, who was inexplicably wearing a smart outfit, and suddenly said: "It seems that something happened in the Central Plains again?"
Mu Sheng nodded and said: "Well, the imperial court suddenly sent an envoy to summon me to the court. I will come back as soon as I go, and I will leave everything in the palace to you to take care of."
Muyinaqi nodded obediently and said: "Well, don't worry, I will take care of everything here. The future in the capital is uncertain, so you must be careful."
Mu Sheng chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter. If anything happens, I'll just run away. My hundreds of years of cultivation are not just for show."
After saying goodbye to Muyinaqi, he went to see Yun'er, Hua Zilan and others. After saying goodbye to the girls, Mu Sheng came to the castle terrace alone. He took a look at the distant scenery and silently worked his mind. As soon as his Tianque tattoo became hot, countless golden leaves flew out from behind him to form a golden simple hang glider. His heart moved, and the hang glider slowly became transparent and invisible.
Mu Sheng jumped up, activated his spiritual power, and the hang glider took off from the towering city head of Yucheng like a transparent jellyfish flying in the sky, rising into the sky and disappearing into the clouds and gradually becoming invisible...
