"... I arrived at Black Dragon Ridge. Within two days, Black Dragon Ridge fell. I encountered the enemy chieftain. The enemy retreated. The army advanced to the foot of Xianren Mountain. I stayed in Black Dragon Ridge to transport grain and grass. Relying on the Holy Power, I will surely fall into the trap of thieves soon... Your Highness, Qianqiu, every year Moon, enter Li Xuan, Nanchang."
Li Xuan closed the envelope, put it in a bamboo tube, handed it to Qiu Zhenmu, and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to send it to Muzhou overnight, and then rush it to Shendu from the post station three hundred miles away."
"Here!" Qiu Zhenmu immediately turned around and walked away.
"Brother Qiu!" Li Xuan suddenly called out to Qiu Zhenmu, and then said, "Have someone bring a message to the street corner, and everything can begin to be prepared."
"Here!" Qiu Zhenmu's face immediately became solemn.
Li Xuan waved his hand, and Qiu Zhenmu immediately turned around and walked away.
Watching the curtain fall, Li Xuan smiled softly. With his move, he didn't know how many people would secretly watch.
After regaining consciousness, Li Xuan looked at the rice paper on the table.
The rice paper depicts all the terrain around the entire Immortal Mountain, but the top of the Immortal Peak is shrouded in a layer of clouds and mist.
Sitting on the bed, Li Xuan closed her eyes slightly, and her vision changed in an instant.
In the dim corridor, Zhang Wanyu walked forward quickly, Ye Wanwan followed behind, and a whole team of blue female soldiers headed by He Qing'er followed closely.
Suddenly, at the end of the corridor ahead, a thick stone door blocked the way. Standing at the door were more than ten female soldiers in black.
Each one held a long knife and looked at everyone with vigilant eyes, even Zhang Wanyu was no exception.
Zhang Wanyu stopped, turned to look at everyone, and said, "The saint and I will go in, and the rest of you will stay here."
"Here!" He Qing'er immediately accepted the offer!
Seeing everyone lining up outside the door, Zhang Wanyu led Ye Wanwan forward, and the heavy stone door slowly opened at this moment.
A soft beam of light was projected from the stone door, and a faint fragrance hit your nostrils.
Zhang Wanyu quickly walked into the cave, and endless mist spread along the ground.
There are more than a dozen lotus flowers blooming in the pools on both sides.
White jade is used as the railing, jade is used as the steps, and the upper and lower parts are covered with light curtains. Everything is as beautiful as a fairyland.
On the innermost jade throne, the queen is sitting on it, wearing black gold clothes, with high black hair and a noble and solemn face.
Chen Zhong stands behind the Thousand-Faced Buddha, and Fang Qianshan stands in front.
Seeing Zhang Wanyu come in, Queen Mother's face suddenly showed a doting smile and waved: "Wan'er, you're here."
"The Holy Queen." Zhang Wanyu stood beside Fang Qianshan, then looked at the Queen with a solemn expression, cupped her hands and said, "I heard that the Holy Queen went to Black Dragon Ridge before, I don't know what happened."
Although Zhang Wanyu's face was solemn, the worry in her eyes was not concealed at all.
The empress waved her hands indifferently and said easily: "Okay, okay, I just went to see how many people have come. No, it's easy to come and leave easily."
Zhang Wanyu's expression softened slightly, and then she asked, "Can the Holy Queen know how many masters from all parties have come?"
"Ming Chongyan, Sima Chengzhen, and secretly there are two people from other sects of the Demon Sect, but I don't know who they are." Empress Qi's expression remained indifferent, facing such a situation, she remained unmoved.
"Damn bastard, even now, you are still plotting secretly." Zhang Wanyu's delicate face was full of dissatisfaction.
"It doesn't matter, the Master of the Holy Cult is just not optimistic about this action." The queen's eyes were cold, and there was only a sneer at the corner of her mouth.
"From the beginning, they were the ones who kept urging us to start the uprising behind our backs. Now it's better, but they don't like it anymore." Zhang Wanyu's dissatisfaction became more and more intense.
"Aren't they always like this? Within the Demon Cult, the weak prey on the strong and plot against each other. This time, it's not only the government but also them who want to carve us up." The Queen's eyes were bright, and she had already seen through everything behind this.
"Since we all know it's so dangerous, why did the Holy Queen go to Black Dragon Ridge to take risks?" Zhang Wanyu's face was full of dissatisfaction.
"If I didn't go, how could they come so confidently.
Zhang Wanyu was slightly startled by her last words.
Then, the Empress smiled softly, raised her head, looked at the stone dome above, and said softly: "The faster they come, the less vigilant they will be to our arrangements. The more so, the more serious their casualties will be." , the more opportunities we have to counterattack."
Zhang Wanyu wanted to say something, but she glanced at Fang Qianshan from the corner of her eye and finally closed her mouth.
Her expression became solemn again, she looked at Fang Qianshan and said, "Qianshan, go ahead and keep an eye on the mechanisms. I want them to come and bury them all here."
"Here!" Fang Qianshan cupped his hands with a solemn expression, then quickly turned around and left.
Empress Qi then turned to look at the Thousand-Faced Buddha and said in a deep voice: "Elder, please find a way to sneak into the army on the morning of tomorrow, and then assassinate Qiu Shenji. Regardless of success or failure, retreat immediately."
"Here!" The Thousand-Faced Buddha responded with a solemn expression. He said nothing after seeing Gu, and then turned around and walked away.
Empress Wei turned her head to look at Chen Zhong and said coldly: "Does the Thousand-Faced Buddha know about the A-shaped passage?"
"Yes, A-shaped passage is the widest, used the most, and has the most people aware of it." Chen Zhong handed over his hand.
"Then be prepared to fight the enemy in the A-shaped passage and bury all those who enter." There was a hint of solemnity deep in the queen's indifferent eyes.
"Ah?" Zhang Wanyu and Ye Wanwan both had surprised looks on their faces.
The empress turned her head with a calm expression, looked at the two of them and said, "Thousand-faced Buddha is not trustworthy."
"Why?" Zhang Wanyu couldn't help but ask.
"During his time in the main altar, when he first came here, he asked for orders to lead troops several times, but after the setback in Wuzhou, he no longer mentioned it. Especially now that my teaching general altar is in danger, I don't see him offering any advice. , always keeping silent, it is clear what his heart is."
The queen's words made Zhang Wanyu and Ye Wanwan look surprised.
Zhang Wanyu took a breath, then said solemnly: "If the Thousand-Faced Buddha is like this, then the King of East China Sea, he can't be trusted either."
"As long as he is not threatened, he is still trustworthy." The last sentence pointed out the relationship between them and the King of East China Sea.
"Then do we still have to carry out our original plan?" Zhang Wanyu raised her head and looked at Queen Mother.
"Of course." Empress Qi nodded slightly and said, "He is not trustworthy in the general altar, but when he arrives in Hangzhou, he will become trustworthy again. Of course, the premise is that you can meet him again in Hangzhou. "
"Yes!" Zhang Wanyu wrote down the Queen's words while pondering the meaning behind them.
Empress Qi continued to speak: "In this battle, both the enemy and us will definitely suffer losses, but compared to our teachings, the Tang army has too many backups. If the prediction is correct, then Xuanzhou, Quzhou, Kuozhou, and even Yangzhou already have troops in front. Come on, I’ll teach you how to win, so you have to reserve fire in advance.”
Having said this, the queen picked up a book from the side and handed it to Zhang Wanyu.
There was no word on the cover of the book. Zhang Wanyu subconsciously opened it and saw rows of numbers written on it, thirty-seven, forty-six...
"Holy Queen, what is this?" Zhang Wanyu looked at the Queen with a puzzled expression.
"This is the basis for the revival of our religion. You go to Hangzhou first and wait for three months before rushing to Chang'an. After arriving in Chang'an, contact the Chang'an branch and they will naturally give you another piece of stuff." explained.
"Yes!" Although Zhang Wanyu was still confused, she still complied.
"Although the Chang'an sub-rudder is a subordinate of the King of East China Sea, they will definitely give you your share of the things." What he said was very firm.
Zhang Wanyu nodded.
The Empress then looked at Ye Wanwan and said in a deep voice: "No matter success or failure this time, I will retire. From now on, the Saint will take over the position of the Holy Empress of Tianyin, and Wanyu will take over as the Great Elder. The two of you will Let us work together and work together to carry forward our teachings, and the sky will be dark and the sky will remain forever."
"The deep sky, the yin of the sky will last forever." Ye Wanwan and Zhang Wanyu put their hands together at the same time, performing the Taiyin Jue, with solemn expressions.
At this time, Zhang Wanyu raised her head and looked at Queen
, asked in a low voice: "Holy Queen, where is your brother?"
Wen Fuzhi, Zhang Wanyu's biological brother, Wen Fuzhi, was the original heir determined by the queen.
But now, not only was this position not given to Wen Fuzhi, it was not even given to Zhang Wanyu, but to the saint Ye Wanwan.
"You go to see the King of the East China Sea, and Fuzhi will naturally go to see the King of the West Region." Empress Qi said softly where Wen Fuzhi was going.
The King of the Western Regions was a high-level official in Tubo. When Wen Fu went to Tubo, he naturally hoped to borrow the power of Tubo.
Zhang Wanyu suddenly realized the hidden meaning behind the words: "Brother has gone to Tubo."
"Leaved last night."
"What about his illness?"
"He is fully awake. He just doesn't remember what happened after he fell into the water in Yanxi River that night. He is otherwise completely fine. Naturally, he has to continue to bear heavy responsibilities." After saying this, the Empress looked at Ye Wanwan again: "The Day of Recovery. I will no longer hold any position in the church, please remember this.”.z.
"Here!" Although Ye Wanwan didn't understand the meaning, she still accepted the order solemnly.
"In the past few days, all external affairs will be presided over by the Holy Lady, assisted by Wan'er. If there is no destruction, don't come to me." Speaking of this, Empress Dowager said directly: "Once I give the order, you two People immediately evacuated the main altar and headed to Yangzhou."
"Here!" Zhang Wanyu and Ye Wanwan took the order at the same time, waved their hands, and they immediately bowed and retreated.
"Surprise!" The stone door slammed shut again.
In the cave, only Empress Gu and Chen Zhong were left.
"Holy Queen, haven't you told the Holy Lady about your matters now?" Chen Zhong had a trace of worry on his face.
Chen Zhong is talking about the saint Ye Wanwan here, not Zhang Wanyu.
"Tell her what to do, so what if you don't tell her. After arriving in Chang'an, she will naturally know the truth of the matter." Empress Dowager's expression was still indifferent, and she said calmly: "Now that the things in the sect have been completely arranged, the rest , it’s my own business.”
"The Holy Queen will definitely succeed this time." Chen Zhong had a look of determination on his face.
Empress Dowager showed a faint smile indifferently, and then said: "This time is a last resort choice. I made it. It is good for the congregation and it is also good for him. Mei Niang has completely let down her guard, so that he can do things more easily." "
"Holy Queen!" Chen Zhong had a trace of unbearable expression on his face.
"Why are you sad?" The queen's cold expression suddenly turned cold, and in a blink of an eye, her sharp eyes as sharp as a knife fell on Chen Zhong's face.
The sadness on Chen Zhong's face suddenly stopped.
At this time, Queen Mother said softly: "This time, it seems that there are many crises, but there may not be no opportunities. Let's try our luck."
