Zhou Yanyu was curious, "How do you say this?"
Yamazaki smiled and said: "By attacking you, it shows your incompetence. In the past, you were just lucky."
"What's in it for him?"
"The fact that he can punish you, a minister who has made great contributions, makes him appear even more powerful."
"Speechless. It's so dark. I'm completely out of mood."
"Well, let's talk about it next time. Make arrangements quickly and go after King Zhao. Remember not to leave Wu."
"I got it. Goodbye, old uncle. Say hello to Ling'er for me. Really, why does she have to leave too!"
"There's nothing I can do about it, she's also a bone demon."
…
Among the mountains.
Yamazaki stopped in the cracks of the spirit stone veins deep underground, formed a formation to hide, and then released Gu Ling'er to explain the situation.
Now there are two groups of pursuers behind him, one is the six ghosts of Da Zhao, and the other is several of the Eight Immortals.
The Eight Immortals won't go underground to fight, so don't worry.
Ghosts will have trouble finding them, let alone worry.
But you can't touch them, because if they fight, the Eight Immortals may find an opportunity.
So they need to wait for a while, and when the Eight Immortals can understand that this is the cause and effect of the war between the two armies, and calculate that his killing has merit, they will probably leave.
Then, they can deal with those ghosts.
…
The capital of King Zhao.
Zhou Yanyu stood in front of the palace and announced to the generals of Zhao that the princess of Zhou County had led an army to occupy the capital of Zhao.
From now on, all the laws and regulations will remain the same for the time being, and each official position and staff will remain unchanged for three years.
The palace is completely closed and no entry or exit is allowed. The palace residents make a living on their own and are taken care of by each family on their own initiative. The expenses will be counted and paid in the future.
Those who open the city gate will go out with the army later, and after registering their names, they can do whatever they want.
The gates of the royal city are not closed, and you can enter and exit at will.
Those who are interested can go to the surrounding cities to persuade them to surrender. Once they get something, they will not be treated badly in the future.
However, the laws of Zhou Dynasty are strict. Although it is not strange for those who do not know, from today on, all the crimes committed will be punished later.
Especially theft, robbery, fraud, extortion, plotting people's fields, houses, treasures, etc.
Insulting women is a serious crime, and lending money and forcing them is a capital crime.
There are also killings, including humans, demons, and ghosts, which must not be killed at will.
I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, govern the country with benevolence and righteousness. Even my own servants cannot be executed at will. If I want to be executed, I must first report it to the government. After investigation, if there is a serious mistake, it can be executed.
…
After Zhou Yanyu finished announcing, the palace people also came out.
Zhou Yanyu controlled the gathering of water spiritual energy, and at the same time revealed the magic weapon, the earth seal in one hand and the spiritual wood seal in the other.
With the help of the earth's energy from the city defense formation, the earth was transformed into wood, and water was used to nourish the wood, causing the vegetation in the palace to grow wildly.
Layers upon layers, layer upon layer, soon covered the palace.
It's so tight that even if you escape, there's no place to stay.
…
After the palace was sealed, Zhou Yanyu immediately led his army to pursue them.
From entering the royal city to leaving the royal city, the army was in full view of everyone. It can be said that no harm was done.
The commander-in-chief Zhou Yanyu never said a word behind anyone's back, and he didn't even go further into the palace. It was really impeccable.
…
In the mountains.
As Han Xiangzi flew in to join them, together with Li Ningyang, Lu Chunyang, Lan Caihe, He Xiangu, and Cao Jingxiu, six of the Eight Immortals had arrived.
After learning about the situation, Han Xiangzi was also filled with indignation and wanted to seek justice for the dead creatures.
It's just that although they figured out the location of the devil (the mountain man), it was so deep underground that they really couldn't use it.
Three days later, January 8th.
Zhong Liquan also arrived, followed by Zhang Guo who arrived belatedly.
After drinking some wine and explaining the situation in a flurry of words, Lu Chunyang suggested that the eight of them work together to form an formation, break through the space, and capture the devil.
Zhong Liquan shook his head, "I don't think it's appropriate."
Lan Caihe said bluntly, "What's wrong?"
Zhong Liquan thought, "Can you figure out the devil's head and feet?"
Everyone looked at each other, and He Xiangu asked: "It's true that it won't work, but so what?"
Zhong Liquan asked again, "What about the magic sword?"
Li Ningyang opened the wine gourd and said, "No, what do you have to say? Don't hesitate."
Zhong Liquan compiled: "To tell you the truth, when I was in Nangao, I heard the military report that Zhao invited seven demons to become generals. The seven of them helped Zhao attack the city and seize territory..."
Cao Jingxiu said impatiently: "We are talking about the devil now, not Da Zhao."
"Listen to me." Zhong Liquan fanned angrily.
"Tell me about it, no one will stop you." He Xiangu said.
Zhong Liquan was helpless, "I heard that these seven killed countless people, do you know that?"
Lan Caihe nodded, "I've heard a little bit."
"I've heard it too," Cao Jingxiu said.
"I've seen him before," Lu Chunyang said coldly, "Compared to this devil, he is far different."
"What's more, in front of the two armies..." Li Ningyang suddenly stopped talking, as if he had some realization.
"Well, Li Tieguai has realized it." Zhong Liquan touched his belly, "It's right in front of the two armies. There is no right or wrong."
"I also know this," Lu Chunyang said stiffly, "It's just that this demon killed four to five million living beings with one sword, and is extremely vicious."
Zhang Guo touched his beard and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, even I have heard in the north that the seven demons of Zhao have killed countless people in the past few years and harmed tens of millions of living beings. It's a lot to talk about."
Lu Chunyang didn't believe it, "It's just a rumor."
Li Ningyang waved his hand quickly, "It's not a rumor, and it's more than this amount."
Lan Caihe nodded, "Yes, there is a roster in the army newspaper of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Zhao Dynasty fought for a long time in the central part. Hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians of the Great Zhou Dynasty died. Most of them died from the scourge of the seven demons. After their death, They were used by demons to practice Falun Gong."
"Really?"
"Is this still a lie to you?"
"However, after extrapolation, although each of them was guilty of serious crimes, what if they killed so many people before they were ready for disaster? How could it be just like this?"
Zhong Liquan stroked his beard and said, "Of course the two countries are fighting in different camps. Each has its own master. Killing the enemy has merit or demerit."
"So, do you have any clues about the devil? Since you didn't, how do you know that his bad karma is overwhelming and he should be punished?"
He Xiangu frowned, "But killing such a large number of creatures, is there any merit?"
Li Ningyang pondered: "If you have contributed to the country, if you have made mistakes in humanity, the country will bear the blame. Therefore, the ghost said that the Great Zhao Dynasty will be exhausted, and this is where it should be."
Han Xiangzi suddenly realized, "Zhao has no way, and the king of Zhao has no virtue. He indulges demons and harms living creatures, and his country will perish."
Cao Jingxiu blinked a few times, "Hey, hey, why did I suddenly realize that this old man is so powerful!"
Li Ningyang nodded, "Indeed, regardless of his power, his views on world affairs are better than mine."
He Xiangu was dissatisfied, "We are outsiders, so naturally we are not as able to see through the world as he is."
Zhang Guo touched his beard and said, "I think that just because we are outside the world, we should see through it more clearly. Bystanders know better."
"That's all. Since this man's fate has not yet come, I will spare his life and I will leave first."
Lu Chunyang bowed his hands to everyone, then turned into light and flew away.
Zhong Liquan said solemnly: "Let's all go. We also have a cause and effect, so we all need to be careful."
Han Xiangzi, He Xiangu, Cao Jingxiu, Li Ningyang, Lan Caihe responded and flew away.
