Xiao’s wonton shop.
Di Renjie, who had been hungry for a long time, suddenly said worriedly after a meal: "Brother Kong, will the executioner be implicated by us?"
It was not a pity that Lai Junchen and Wu Sizong died, but they were both favorites of the Queen of Heaven, and their sudden death would definitely cause a huge disturbance.
In Di Renjie's eyes, Brother Kong is protected by His Royal Highness King Chen, so he will naturally not be in danger, but the executioner, and even the common people who are fighting for him today, may be affected.
"Brother Di, others are going to chop off your head, but you still think about him."
Li Daoxuan shook his head and sighed, then smiled and said: "Don't worry, they will be fine. The gang members of the two thieves will be eliminated soon."
Wu Zetian is a smart person, she naturally knows what to do.
Di Renjie's pupils trembled and he said: "His Royal Highness Chen Wang... forced the palace?"
Did such a big thing happen overnight?
Li Daoxuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? She is still recovering from her injuries."
Di Renjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time looked at Li Daoxuan strangely. Brother Kong had just recognized His Highness King Chen, why did he look so familiar with him?
"It's good that nothing serious happened."
he murmured.
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly. Nothing major happened, that is, he found the murderer of the heart-wrenching case, damaged the queen's prestige, and killed a king.
Although Li Zhi is not dead, he has become a completely different person now, no different from death.
"By the way, Brother Kong, you didn't come back yesterday, so I went to check the Daci'en Temple first, and I found a problem!"
Di Renjie looked around and whispered: "Many monks in the temple were injured by Holy Monk Xuanzang, but they all avoided their vital points. It can be seen that the Holy Monk was awake at the time and was not possessed by a demon as His Highness said."
"In addition, I also got a piece of news from a monk who cleans the monastery for the holy monk."
His eyes were serious, and it was obvious that this news was very important.
"The holy monk went into seclusion for sixteen years in order to study the last Mahayana scripture. During this period, he saw no one. But the night before he went crazy, he suddenly saw someone."
"who is it?"
"The leader of the Meihua Internal Guard, Ming Chongyan!"
Li Daoxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, is this person again?
He built the Vientiane Shrine, and he was also responsible for the Heartbroken Case. Its ultimate goal seemed to be to realize Fan Python's plan to swallow Tianlong and allow Tubo to annex the Tang Dynasty.
If Li Daoxuan had not left seclusion, how far would things have developed?
The art of painting skin and peeling bones in "The Book of Man" can make Zhang Zongchang look like him, and then secretly poison Changle. Naturally, Hidden Dragon will not give up, and a civil war will inevitably occur between the plum blossom guards and the bad guys. .
Li Zhi, who has become a drought demon, will help Wu Zetian win, but the internal vitality of the Tang Dynasty will be severely damaged. Li Zhi will be affected by the corpse energy and become more cruel and murderous.
At that time, what could a Tang Dynasty, with its vitality severely damaged and its emperor weak, use to resist the Tubo army that was blessed with luck?
Destroying a country in a vertical and horizontal manner, and quietly leading the world's general trend. Can someone with such means really be the work of Tubo?
Li Daoxuan was very skeptical about this.
Even now, he can't see clearly what Ming Chongyan is doing.
What method did the other party use to let Xuanzang, who had been in seclusion for sixteen years, come out to see each other? After that, he almost became a demon and even injured Changle.
Why did Ming Chongyan do this?
At this moment, no matter it is the case of heart failure or the incident of Xuanzang becoming a demon, all the clues point to the same person.
Li Daoxuan showed a sneer. In this case, things would be easy to handle.
Find Ming Chongyan and dig out the final truth.
In addition, Li Daoxuan was also a little curious about the so-called Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
According to historical records, Ming Chongyan was originally a Taoist priest with some medical skills. In the end, he was assassinated and his death was unclear and very aggrieved.
But in this world, divine thunder descended from the sky, split the boulder, and revealed three strange books, which made Ming Chongyan undergo a huge change.
interesting……
"Brother Kong, I think Ming Chongyan has a big plot. Let's report this matter to His Highness King Chen first!"
Di Renjie suggested.
Ming Chongyan is the leader of the Meihua Internal Guard. He has a high position and is favored by the Queen of Heaven. If you want to investigate him, you must rely on the power of King Chen.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and smiled: "This is not urgent. We have another more urgent thing to do."
"What's the matter?"
Li Daoxuan ate the last wonton, then took something out of his arms and threw it to Di Renjie.
Di Renjie took a closer look and was shocked. It turned out to be an imperial edict!
"The Tubo army attacked again. Due to a meteorite falling from the sky, our army was defeated. Songzhou was about to be lost. The whereabouts of the old general Xue Rengui was unknown. The emperor appointed you as the governor of Songzhou. He rushed to take office to command the army and the people and defend the city."
Di Renjie was suddenly shocked. Songzhou was the choke point to contain the Tibetan attack. Once it fell, the enemy would be able to peep into the six states in the south of the Yangtze River!
By then, there will definitely be another bloody storm!
"Brother Kong, why are you talking about such a big thing now? Songzhou is thousands of miles away. Even if we ride the dragon horse before, it will take at least three to five days. Hurry, hurry up!"
Di Renjie suddenly couldn't eat the delicious wontons, so he took Li Daoxuan and rushed to Songzhou to take up his post.
"Don't worry, close your eyes. You may feel dizzy later, but be careful not to spit it out."
Just when Di Renjie didn't know what was going on, ripples suddenly appeared in the void, and the world in front of him was spinning. Everything around him was gradually going away, becoming dark and chaotic.
It felt like suddenly falling into a bottomless pit, without light and sound, as if being exiled to another desolate world.
After an unknown amount of time, the darkness gradually faded away, the sunlight appeared again, and a voice rang in Di Renjie's ears again.
"I heard there's going to be a war, let's run!"
"Why run? With General Xue here, we will definitely win!"
"But I heard that General Xue seems to have disappeared..."
"It is said that the Fan soldiers are helped by gods. A few days ago, there were even meteorites falling. The movement shook the entire Songzhou!"
Di Renjie retched several times on the roadside, and his dizziness gradually improved.
In a daze, he raised his head and realized that he was not in Chang'an, but under a city with three powerful characters.
Songzhou City!
Eight thousand miles of clouds and moon, all within reach of the horizon.
…
In the Songzhou military camp, everyone was in panic.
Anyone who encounters a meteorite on the battlefield will probably be uneasy all night, feeling that the Tang Dynasty has been abandoned by the gods.
What's more important is that General Xue, whom they regard as their mainstay, has not returned to the camp yet.
After Su Dingfang's death, Xue Rengui became the most shining general of the Tang Dynasty. Without the shame of the defeat of Dafeichuan, he spent his whole life fighting for the Tang Dynasty and made great achievements.
Destroyed the Western Turks, bravely conquered Liaodong, fixed the Tianshan Mountains with three arrows, and shocked Goguryeo...
From a heroic young general in white robes to a first-class hussar general, Duke Dingguo, he has reached the pinnacle of military generals. His life was perfect, and he was able to enter a martial arts temple after his death.
However, after hearing that the famous Tubo general Qin Ling repeatedly led an army to harass the Tang border, Xue Rengui, who was already in his seventies, asked for orders again and returned to the battlefield. He repelled Qin Ling's army several times and guarded the Tang border like a door god.
But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and Hu Ma is not taught to cross the Yin Mountain.
Unfortunately, Xue Rengui disappeared as the meteorite fell, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Just when the soldiers were worried, the soldiers on the city wall suddenly shouted loudly, extremely excited.
"Open the city gate quickly, General Xue is back!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers suddenly became energetic and cheered.
In their hearts, Xue Rengui is the God of War of the Tang Dynasty. As long as General Xue is around, even if they are frustrated for a moment, they firmly believe that victory will eventually belong to the Tang Dynasty.
Xue Rengui did not disappoint them.
There were only three knights left beside him. Their white hair was dancing wildly. The martyr was in his old age, but he was still brave and heroic, and he even held a bloody head in his hand.
He was a fierce general under Qin Ling. He was good at wielding a nine-ring sword weighing 68 kilograms. He was extremely brave on the battlefield and killed countless people. Qin Ling sent him to pursue the remnants of the Tang army, but he did not want to be killed by the 78-year-old veteran Xue Rengui. The head was removed.
When Xue Rengui raised the head of the Tibetan general, the three armies roared, and the originally low morale was instantly ignited and flew straight into the sky.
Xue Rengui stood on the city wall, his eyes seemed to be burning with blazing flames. It was his unyielding will and general spirit. Even though he was old, he could still kill the enemy!
"Songzhou is the barrier to the southern part of the Tang Dynasty. If it is lost, the enemy's blade will be aimed at our friends, wives, children, and parents!"
His voice sounded, and although he was old, it was so powerful that it was as if iron hoofs were crushing the glacier, making people's blood stir.
"So, no matter whether it's meteorites or extravagant soldiers, we can no longer retreat."
"My husband, Xue Rengui, is seventy-eight years old this year. Before leaving for the expedition, my grandson held my hand and refused to let go. My wife asked someone to tell me a fortune telling that it was unlucky to leave, or that I might never come back."
At this point, Xue Rengui suddenly laughed and said: "I say, that is the best hexagram, because for a general, is there any better destination than dying on the battlefield?"
If a man wants to repay his country's kindness, dying on the battlefield is a good death!
"Some people advised me to retreat, saying that there is the Great Wall in the north, but there is no natural danger in the south. It is better to retreat to the north of the Yangtze River and take advantage of the danger."
Xue Rengui laughed again, but this time his laughter was filled with murderous intent.
"The person who said this has been killed by me!"
Xue Rengui suddenly raised the head in his hand, his eyes fierce, his white hair dancing wildly, and his heroic voice echoed between heaven and earth.
"Who said there are no natural dangers here? If the enemy comes, they will use their blood and corpses to forge the natural dangers of our southern region. Our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are the Great Wall for the people of Songzhou!"
He drew out his sword, his eyes widened in anger, and the sound shook the sky like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring.
"kill!!!"
The officers and men were all red-faced, raised their arms and shouted, their hearts were boiling with blood, and they wished they could meet the soldiers with swords and guns in a flesh-and-blood fight right away.
The three armies shouted loudly, and their morale was like a rainbow.
At the gate of the military camp, Di Renjie looked at this scene with admiration in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh: "He is really a tiger general. With General Xue in Songzhou, he has nothing to worry about!"
Beside him, Li Daoxuan shook his head and sighed softly.
"It's a pity he couldn't survive it."
Di Renjie was stunned and was about to ask a question when he saw Xue Rengui on the city wall suddenly glared, as if he had seen something very terrifying, but there was no fear in his eyes, only a deep sense of unwillingness.
Xue Rengui looked up to the sky and roared, like a tiger roaring, with his white hair flying like a waterfall, as if he was competing with the sky.
The little vitality flowed from his old body. When the last trace of vitality completely dissipated, the long sword in Xue Rengui's hand fell powerlessly, and he fell off the city wall.
"General!!!"
The soldiers were in panic, looking at the falling figure with a trace of despair in their eyes.
…
Three hundred miles away from Songzhou City, there is a Tubo military camp.
In the commander's tent, the Tibetan army god Qinling, who was in his prime, was reading military books by candlelight.
His father was the famous Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan. Under his father's influence, he loved reading since he was a child, especially studying military books.
The Han people's art of war was like a huge treasure house, and he was deeply immersed in it.
Under the candlelight, his handsome face had sharp edges and a slight beard, but it showed more toughness. He had a masculine temperament that was born from iron and fire. He was worthy of a famous Tubo general who had experienced hundreds of battles.
"General, Xue Rengui was defeated. Why didn't you take advantage of the situation and take Songzhou in one go?"
A voice suddenly sounded, and a Taoist figure appeared in the handsome tent. He was wearing a Bagua Taoist robe, holding a feather fan, and wearing a star crown. His face was elegant and graceful, just like Zhuge Liang in the play.
Qin Ling didn't seem surprised by this person's appearance and said calmly: "Master Ming didn't know something. Xue Rengui is indeed a famous general in the world. He actually sent the fierce general Xiaoshou I sent to hunt him back to Songzhou City first."
"With this person here, the soldiers and civilians of Songzhou are united and their morale is like a rainbow. They are also defending the city. Although I have the superior force, it is not appropriate to advance rashly."
When talking about Xue Rengui, Qin Ling's eyes showed a glimmer of complexity.
Over the years, he and Xue Rengui have played against each other many times, and they have never taken any advantage. It is true that they have met their opponents and will meet good talents.
This great victory was not actually a crime of war, but that Taoist Priest Ming Chongyan set up a large formation to swallow up the fortune of the Tang Dynasty and caused meteorites to fall from the sky. This was how he defeated Xue Rengui.
To be honest, Qin Ling was actually a little disgusted by this kind of ineffective means of victory. He wanted to compete with Xue Rengui on the battlefield with real swords and spears.
But he also knew that Tubo's national power was limited and could not support long-term foreign campaigns, while the Tang Dynasty was a giant dragon with a vast territory, abundant resources, prosperous national power, and affordable spending.
So he had to swallow his pride.
Ming Chongyan shook his feather fan, smiled slightly, and said: "General, don't worry, Xue Rengui will not survive tonight."
Qin Ling frowned and said, "Why?"
"What the general doesn't know is that Xue Rengui should have reached the end of his life and returned to the underworld nine years ago. It's just that he followed Li Daoxuan and took the miraculous medicine, which extended his life."
After a pause, Ming Chongyan smiled and said: "But this account is still clearly recorded in the book of life and death in the underworld. Now that the King of Hell wants to settle this account, his life span will naturally come to an end."
Qin Ling said with some confusion: "I heard that the current Lord of Netherworld, Ghost Emperor Yin Cao, is Li Daoxuan's wife, and the King of Hell is also under her jurisdiction. And Xue Rengui has a relationship with Li Daoxuan, how can he care about this kind of thing? "
Ming Chongyan shook his head and smiled and said: "General, you don't know. The ghost emperor Chen Ziyu only knows how to practice in seclusion and rarely manages affairs. In the underworld, Guan Yu, the general of demons in the three realms, is too aloof and arrogant. He kills so hard that he can hardly be the king of hell." ah."
Qin Ling's eyes flashed and he said, "What do you think, King of Hell?"
If the King of Hell did this, he would definitely offend the Ghost Emperor, and he would definitely want something else.
"General, I have a book from the earth that can communicate with ghosts and gods. The King of Hell is my friend and would like to ask me to tell the general that when the matter is completed, please ask Tubo Zanpu to canonize him as the protector of the country and broadcast incense."
Qin Ling was silent for a moment, then said: "Xue Rengui...is he really dead?"
"Death is certain!"
Ming Chongyan shook his feather fan and said confidently: "At this moment, he must have been sent to hell and is undergoing torture. Even if the Daluo gods come down to earth, haha, they can't save him!"
