Black Water Pass.
After a few months, Dou Changsheng arrived again.
The last time I came to Blackwater Pass, everything was restricted by surveillance. Now, this Blackwater Pass has its doors wide open, and merchant ships are constantly passing through.
After the Dragon Gate Conference, the two sides ceased war for a hundred years.
The words of the gods and demons had already set the trend. No matter how unwilling Long Ting was, he could not disobey the gods and demons and had to withdraw his troops and retreat.
Heishuiguan, which had been surrounded by people, once again regained its calm.
After arriving at Heishui Pass quietly, there were no mistakes along the way, and Dou Changsheng noticed a clue. He happened to encounter the Five Poison Centipede in the mountain temple, and he was afraid that there was something fishy in it.
However, after thinking for a long time, Dou Changsheng still couldn't figure it out, so he put this matter on hold for now.
After arriving at Blackwater Pass, the land was located in the Blackwater Sea. Dou Changsheng could clearly feel a pulling force in the dark, and his eyes were looking at a certain location, which was the deep part of the vast sea.
There.
That's where the dragon gate is.
The divine weapon of Longmen has been jointly kept by the human race and the dragon tribe since it was forged. Both sides did not allow the gods and demons to approach, and each set up a formation. With the status of the divine weapon, as long as the gods and demons did not take action, if they wanted to move, That is impossible.
The last time Dou Changsheng came to the inner space of the Dragon Gate, he only saw the core of the Dragon Gate. Although he knew what the real Dragon Gate looked like, he had never seen it in person.
Feeling the pulling force and the impatient emotion, Dou Changsheng began to comfort him. Now is not the time to take away the dragon gate. If the dragon gate is not whitewashed, how can Dou Changsheng withstand the backlash of the gods and demons.
After arriving at Heishui Pass quietly, Dou Changsheng walked straight towards the most prominent mansion in Heishui Pass.
Since the capture of Blackwater Pass, the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty reacted very slowly, as if it was isolated from the rest of the world and did not know what was happening at Blackwater Pass. However, after the Dragon Gate Conference, the Great Zhou Dynasty responded quickly and immediately sent a servant to announce the decree.
Not only did they re-recognize Cao Longji's title as Duke Lu, they also regarded Heishui Pass and many overseas islands as fiefs of Duke Lu.
These are real princes who have absolute control over their fiefdoms. Most officials began to evacuate many islands controlled by the Zhou Dynasty, leaving only basic officials to maintain order. However, they were also ready to evacuate until Lu Guogong sent officials to take over. .
Duke Lu's power has reached its peak.
Dazhou seems to be very open-minded, but in fact he is also very calculating. Although Lu Guogong is younger than the old Liang Wang, his life span is only ten or twenty years, and his life span is only thirty years at most.
Thirty years later, when Lu Guogong died, no matter how great the momentum was now, it would collapse and dissipate.
On the contrary, if the new Duke Lu wants to maintain his power, he must rely on the Great Zhou Dynasty and continuously deepen his connection with the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that the influence of the Great Zhou Dynasty can be restored and Heishui Pass becomes a part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Dazhou's calculation is a conspiracy.
Even if one can see his plan, there is not much room for resistance unless Lu Guogong survives.
Dou Changsheng could see that if Duke Lu was not one of the four princes and eight princes, and there was a Ya Sheng behind him, Dazhou would have some scruples, otherwise he would just do the absolute best and confer the title of king on Duke Lu, which seemed to be the greatest support.
A vassal king with a different surname still has his own territory. How powerful this is.
But this move also represents Zhou's fear. When Lu Guogong dies, Da Zhou will take action and eradicate Lu Guogong's descendants.
Although there are kings with different surnames nowadays, they only have empty titles, rather than princes and kings who have the power of life and death.
The matter of Donghai has been settled after being given a title and land, and it will not change for about thirty years. When Lu Guogong reaches his death, there will be internal fighting in the future, and there will be no open conflicts.
The situation in the East China Sea changed drastically, and a hundred years later, Longting launched another war.
Dou Changsheng walked on the streets of Heishui Pass and looked at the pedestrians coming and going in Heishui Pass. These people were all visiting Heishui Pass.
This is the Xiongguan Fortress established by the Dragon Clan, and it is very famous to the Human Clan. Now that it has returned to the Human Clan, some fledgling warriors will choose to visit Heishui Pass.
In the next hundred years, there will be no war in Blackwater Pass, and it is destined to become the most prosperous city in the East China Sea.
Even if there are only a few people in the world who come to Heishui Pass, the world is so big that if they gather together, it is still a large number, which will add to the prosperity of Heishui Pass.
There are many warriors who make a living in the waters. In the past, they lived on Sanxian Island, and in the future they will come to Heishui Pass.
It is not difficult to meet Cao Longji.
Not to mention being number one on the list, Dou Changsheng now also has a title, but the Wanhuhou who was conferred by the Great Zhou Dynasty is also a resounding golden sign.
After arriving at the mansion and revealing his identity, Dou Changsheng was invited to the hall. The person who personally came to entertain Dou Changsheng was his eldest brother-in-law, the head of the Cao family.
To be more specific, it's the guy who lost his wife and didn't even dare to let go of his wife.
I have forgotten the specific name of Dou Changsheng, I only remember his wife Xiao Baiyi, Princess of Rongguo, and my eldest sister-in-law.
After a while, Cao Longji had already walked out.
Cao Longji was majestic, and his whole body was filled with a sinister aura. When he saw Cao Longji, he seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood rolling in. If he were just starting out, he would be calmed down in an instant.
Cao Longji sat down with a golden sword, and the eldest brother-in-law beside him had already stood up quickly, respectfully serving Cao Longji like a slave.
Cao Longji didn't even look at his eldest brother-in-law. He frowned, raised his eyes, and said with an unpleasant look on his face: "He is the person I least want to see in the world."
"Chen Mizhou is one."
"He has too many calculations. He is shameless and very annoying."
"And you, Dou Changsheng, have more serious thoughts and are more troublesome than Chen Mizhou."
"Especially after your Longmen group, Longting began to retreat, and Blackwater Pass has been without war for a hundred years. This has ruined many of my plans."
Saying one thousand means ten thousand, for Cao Longji, who was happy to hear the battle.
There has been no war at Blackwater Pass for a hundred years. This is not a good thing, but a bad thing.
After Cao Longji finished speaking, he noticed that Xiao Cao beside him was in a bad mood. How could Xiao Cao's little thoughts be hidden from Cao Longji.
He was afraid that he and Dou Changsheng would become enemies and thus implicate the Cao family.
After all, he only has a short life span, only more than twenty years, and Dou Changsheng, who will be more than twenty years later, is not yet fifty years old. He is definitely a third-level master, just like the rising sun. If he wants to take revenge, It would be difficult for the Cao family to resist.
After all, the person in front of me has a heart as sharp as a needle's eye, and he is determined to retaliate. He also holds grudges and loves revenge, but he is also very courageous.
Cao Longji's brows furrowed deeply, twisting into the Chinese character "Sichuan". With a wave of his hand, evil spirit, murderous spirit, blood energy, etc. suddenly erupted and intertwined together, forming a special force.
Xiao Cao was imprisoned without any resistance. He was thrown out of the hall like garbage and began to roll continuously on the sapphire-paved ground outside.
Cao Longji snorted coldly and said even more angrily: "You are a waste."
“It’s true that one generation is worse than the other.”
"There is no need to save this kind of waste anymore."
Cao Longji was completely disappointed. Nowadays, among the descendants of the Cao family, even if they take care of themselves, it won't work. They look good, but they are all just showy, and their true nature will be revealed after encountering something.
Cao Longji's eyes finally looked at Dou Changsheng. There was a ferocity in them that made people shudder, as if they were not a living person, but a ferocious beast.
This is not an easy guy to deal with.
Even though Dou Changsheng had known about it for a long time, when he actually saw it, he still felt that he was a little bit arrogant by taking the initiative to come to the door.
It is obvious that after Cao Longji recovered from the ice, his purpose was to seize Heishui Pass and then attack Longting. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, what he wanted was to fight.
But this happened to mess up Dou Changsheng. The general trend set by the gods and demons was absolutely unchangeable.
In addition, the descendants of the Cao family are not living up to expectations, no, they are not in line with Cao Longji's wishes.
Cao Longji joined the army as a young man and spent his whole life fighting in the army. What he despised most was that he was meek. He had no ferocity in his heart and no ruthlessness in his hands. How could he be a general?
If the soldiers under your command are not as good as wolves and tigers, then they are useless.
The Cao family has been suppressed for more than a hundred years and has long lost its morale. Naturally, Cao Longji does not like this.
After recovering, except for the smooth battle to seize Heishui Pass, everything went wrong afterwards. Now all the resentment in his heart was concentrated on Dou Changsheng.
Dou Changsheng did not expect that the Cao family was so useless that no one was attracted by Cao Longji, so that he was angry every day, and his anger was suffocated until now. Coupled with the attitude of his eldest brother-in-law, it completely ignited Cao Longji's anger.
Dou Changsheng was not very nervous, and his life was not in danger. The most he could do was fight and be tortured. This was not a bad thing, but a good thing, as it could enhance his combat experience.
A first-level martial artist, under the personal guidance of a supreme master, is something that ordinary people cannot yet enjoy.
But in the final analysis, it is better to be hammered, to avoid being hammered, or not to be hammered.
Dou Changsheng's mind was spinning rapidly, and he finally planned to follow the other party, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Cao, there is no need to be angry."
Speaking of this seniority, it is a bit confusing.
Xiao Baiyi is the daughter of the old Liang Wang, one generation behind Cao Longji, but her eldest brother-in-law is the grandson of Cao Longji.
In terms of age, he is more than thirty years older than Xiao Baiyi, and he is already over seventy this year.
Dou Changsheng secretly cursed Old Liang Wang for being shameless, for doing such a thing for the Taoist soldier Giant Whale, but now he lost his wife and lost his army.
They spent countless resources to raise Tao soldiers for Cao Longji for decades in vain.
Calling him Grandpa Cao is impossible.
"I'm here to see Uncle Cao this time, and I'm also here to solve Uncle Cao's biggest hidden danger."
"I obtained the secret life-extending medicine from Brother Si."
Dou Changsheng paused for a moment, then continued: "If I want to dedicate it to Ya Sheng, I would like to ask Uncle Cao to recommend it on my behalf."
