Underground cave.
The molten fire in the center of the earth is burning.
The Ice Soul Knife is pure and thorough, as bright as jade, located in the center of the flame. Under the flames, the blade part seems to be inlaid with a layer. The outer traces visible to the naked eye are like a layer, which directly affects the beauty of the Ice Soul Knife. It has a rough and cheap feel.
However, Dou Changsheng could see that the extra blade forged from the teeth of the ancient true dragon was fusing with the Ice Soul Sword, and the traces were disappearing. When the perfect fusion occurred, it would be the day when the Ice Soul Sword was successfully cast.
Dou Changsheng slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the chattering old guy beside him.
One moment he was the father-in-law, but now he was disliked by Dou Changsheng. Dou Changsheng suddenly felt a little regretful about this marriage.
Xiahou Xuan, the current head of the Xiahou family, is not a light-hearted man either. Ever since they met, he has been talking about rebellion, either on behalf of the Zhou Dynasty or usurping the throne.
It seems that he was born with an evil face.
This made Dou Changsheng sulky. No matter how he looked at Xia Houxuan, he was as careless as the old Liang Wang.
It is true that he knows people but not their hearts. Dou Changsheng has made a final decision in his mind. It is impossible to break off the engagement. Now that he has a bad reputation and a lot of negative comments, the only thing he can do is promise.
I didn’t see Dou Changsheng flaunting the matter of heaven and earth, repeatedly emphasizing the promise of a thousand pieces of gold, spitting out every word, and setting up a persona for himself to prepare for his innocence.
Nowadays, it is impossible to directly become the light of the right path, but being able to make people in the world think that you are so bad that you have sores on the soles of your feet, but still keep your promise. Having such a fixed impression is a great victory. As for the final victory, that is When Tian Ji Bao started bragging about himself.
Time passed bit by bit. Xia Houxuan was busy most of the time, assisting Gong Yeshi to complete the recasting of the Ice Soul Sword. But when he had free time, he would come to his side and keep chatting in Dou Changsheng's ears, talking about his family and country. The world.
They talked about how to seize the power from within the imperial court, establish a single party, and finally seize the power and control the imperial court. Where to raise troops outside, how to capture the state capital, and how to gain momentum. The most important thing is that Xia Houxuan is well prepared.
It can be said that he is familiar with the internal officials of the imperial court. The local captains and prefects of the local guards can also know their family treasures. Who is his retainer, whose disciples, who promoted him to the position, and how to win over the local prefects and important officials in the court. Get them to vote quickly.
What Xia Houxuan said was very clear and logical. Dou Changsheng was very annoyed when he heard the names of people one after another. Just listening to them was tiring, especially when Xia Houxuan not only talked about names, but also talked about family, inheritance, and what he had learned. Martial arts, how to be an official.
It was just a pile of information. Ordinary people would definitely be dizzy. They started to forget what they said before, but who made Dou Changsheng have a good memory? Seeing that there were still fifteen hours before the date when the Ice Soul Sword was released, Dou Changsheng finally relaxed. It is really not easy to survive this period of time in one breath.
Xia Houxuan gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face was pale, and he was already very tired. Recently, Xia Houxuan had been working intensively, assisting Gongye Stone in casting the Ice Soul Sword, and then he also spent his energy personally commenting on the world for Dou Changsheng.
Even assisting Gong Yeshi in recasting the Ice Soul Sword is not as tiring as this one. The interpersonal relationships are complicated and complex. One person represents a thread, which seems to be distinct, but in fact, if they are mixed together, they will only become entangled in a mess. It is very difficult to sort this out.
That is to say, the Xiahou family has a respected position and strong strength. They have started collecting information for a long time and have been building files for hundreds of years. This is why they have this background.
Xiahou Xuanren was very tired, but he was in good spirits, and he obviously enjoyed it. Normally, he wouldn't dare to speak out about such things, for fear of bringing disaster to the Xiahou family. Now that he has an audience, he can speak freely. This is a first-class experience in life. This is a great thing, especially if it can help Dou Changsheng. When the new dynasty is established, the Xiahou family will be able to take charge of the Tiangong Division. After five hundred years of wealth, the Xiahou family will be even stronger.
Xia Houxuan leaned towards Dou Changsheng and continued: "Last time we talked about Nanshan."
"The Southern Mountains, the Northern Territory, and the East China Sea are the three dangers of the human race. However, since Xian Xu captured the Blackwater Pass, the Dragon Clan lost this barrier and was no longer able to invade the west. The Human Race can rely on the Blackwater Pass to defend the Dragon Clan, and even control the Blackwater Pass. Guan used it as a bridgehead and began to attack the dragon clan everywhere."
"One of the three troubles of the human race has been eliminated. There are frequent wars in the northern Xinjiang. The barbarians move south every year, but the situation in the southern mountains is completely different."
Xia Houxuan was silent for a moment, and then continued to speak: "There are only a handful of monsters who go north, and most of them are humans who go south, imitating the barbarians who invade every year, constantly attacking the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and occupying the land of the monsters."
"The wise son-in-law also knows about the alliance of the five tribes. The demon tribe, the dragon tribe, the barbarian tribe, the phoenix tribe, and the spirit tribe formed a blood alliance during the Thousand Years of War. They offered sacrifices to heaven and earth and established the Iron Curtain, which began to restrict the development of the human race."
"The demon clan is the leader of the alliance of the five clans, so the human race naturally cannot give up, so the gods and demons set the national policy of defending in the north and attacking in the south."
"After the dynasties of past dynasties brought peace to the world, the elites of hundreds of battles would not just put their swords and guns into storage in the Nanshan Mountains. Instead, they would go south in large numbers to fight against the monster clan in the Monster Mountain."
"Nowadays, in Nanshan, the southern battlefield, every inch of land is a demon mountain. The human race took it from the demon clan and buried countless dead souls. The tragedy is beyond imagination."
"The Celestial Demon Clan couldn't hold it back even during the Taizong period. That's why the Celestial Demon went north. He was defeated and captured. On the pretext of saving the Celestial Demon's life, he chose to give in."
"The Demon King is in seclusion, and the Demon Prime Minister is alone and unable to support himself. The Demon Clan has been keeping to itself in recent years, so the Southern Army located in Nanshan is the Great Zhou's Dinghai Divine Needle. If there is a change in the Great Zhou, the clan will lead the Southern Army to go north to eradicate the rebellious officials and traitors in the world."
"Although Northern Xinjiang is defensive, the barbarians frequently move south, and the intensity of the war is not low. The northern army is brave and not weak to the southern army. However, due to the restraint of the barbarians, the northern army cannot go south. But at the critical period, the Great Zhou Dynasty ignored The North is safe and it is not impossible to dispatch the Northern Army southward."
"The Great Zhou Dynasty is a great unified dynasty. It is so powerful that it is suffocating. It has divine weapons, Taoist soldiers, and first-class experts. The Great Zhou Dynasty is not lacking. Now the Great Zhou Dynasty is just in a state of flux. It is also because there are bad rumors coming from above. In fact, Dazhou has never lost any strength.”
"Had it not been for the emergence of Wang Changgong, the national power of Zhou Dynasty would not have been greatly damaged."
Xia Houxuan sighed, and then went straight to the topic and said: "Both the Southern Army and the Northern Army are controlled by the Five Army Protectorate, but this is just in name. The Five Army Protectorate has no control at all, but is personally controlled by the clan. .”
"The Southern Army and the Northern Army are controlled by the clan government, and the sage designates the clan to go to the Southern Army and the Northern Army to take over military power."
Dou Changsheng was about to leave for Nanshan when his father-in-law aroused his interest. He couldn't help but ask: "The clan is in charge of the army. Aren't you afraid that the clan will betray you?"
The clan is in charge of military power, which is a good thing for the founder of the country, because the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. No matter who becomes the emperor, the meat will rot in the pot. But how can the subsequent emperors give the clan such great power? If you want to cut off the feudal clan, if you don't cut off the feudal clan, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night, I'll be woken up by being frightened, I'll be frightened every day, and I'll have trouble sleeping and eating.
Xia Houxuan explained: "No, we have made an appointment with the gods and demons. Unless the emperor personally issues an edict and stamps the imperial seal, the southern and northern armies will never leave without authorization."
"Even if the clan intends to rebel, there is nothing they can do. But by the time the emperor summons the Southern and Northern armies, the court will definitely be in a state of crisis and is in danger."
"The consequences are not a big deal. For the clan, changing to another emperor is not a bad thing."
Dou Changsheng knew in his mind that the composition of the Southern Army was complex. Dou Changsheng knew that there were also criminal troops, those who had caused great troubles or were being hunted by enemies and wanted to go to Nanshan to fight for their lives.
Thousands of his old enemies have gone, and now he is among the criminal army. He has not committed a major crime, but is very free in the criminal army. He has the qualifications to leave the criminal army. However, if he withdraws, it means losing his protection and beheading him. The personal grievances that have been broken will be resumed.
Just like Zhang Shaoquan, Dou Changsheng was on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, and Dou Changsheng couldn't do anything about him. After all, he was on the front line, fighting for his life against barbarians every day. The chance of death was very high, and the gods and demons would not allow Dou Changsheng to continue. Put on some shoes for Zhang Shaoquan.
This kind of behavior is to retain some combat power. It is better to die from internal friction than to die in a bloody battle with all races. At least you can still kill the enemy.
But the effect is unsatisfactory. Unless they are at the point of death, few people take this step, or if they want to take this step, the enemy will not give them a chance at all.
Fighting together can't be paused just by shouting a pause.
The Southern Army and the Northern Army were the pinnacles of Dinghai. The unified dynasty was too huge. Today's Great Zhou Dynasty has not reached the point where the sky is angry and the people are angry, and the sea is boiling. The Ding Revolution is purely a top-down disturbance caused by gods and demons.
Therefore, what the rebels want to challenge is the unified dynasty at its peak. Needless to say, the southern and northern armies, the Zhou army and state soldiers are basically useless, but some special armies are still very capable of fighting.
This time when we go to Nanshan, we can't count on the Southern Army. Otherwise, if there is a Southern Army, it will not be difficult to suppress the Tianmo Sect.
Xia Houxuan lowered his voice and said: "I have inside information. Although Zhou Dynasty cannot mobilize the southern army to go north in a large scale, it has sent new troops to replace the old soldiers."
"The new army that has been secretly formed in the past two years has no combat effectiveness. But if the veterans of many battles are replaced, it will be a big threat."
"I have been keeping an eye on the Tiangong Division and the Gongye clan, and found that their output is wrong and a large part is missing. Outsiders cannot see this, but they are both from the top five weapon-making families. As long as I, the Xiahou clan, pay careful attention, I will definitely We can’t hide it.”
"This newly formed army is all veterans of the Southern Army. They have been on the battlefield between gods and demons. If they have enough troops, they can set up battle formations between gods and demons. A good son-in-law must guard against them."
"The heavy-armored soldiers of Daliang are considered to be top-grade Taoist soldiers. It is not difficult to conquer the world, but if you want to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan, you still have to be a little inferior."
"I have channels to obtain a volume of the True Dragon Nine Volumes of Art of War. There are thirty-six types of Taoist soldiers and seventy-two types of battle formations. Each of them is extraordinary and can be carefully collected by Chen Mizhou, even if it is a low-grade Taoist Soldiers also have unlimited potential and have room for improvement. They can evolve into middle-grade Taoist soldiers and high-grade Taoist soldiers."
"The most valuable thing in this volume is the extraordinary Taoist weapon recorded in it."
"This can set up a battle formation between gods and demons. Although it is not capable of fighting gods and demons, it will definitely have the power to sweep the world."
Battle formations are generally weaker than large formations. Great formations of gods and demons can defeat gods and demons, but their shortcomings are very obvious, that is, they are very rigid, and it is not easy to set up formations. They rely too much on terrain and Feng Shui, while battle formations are The difference is that this is composed of a large army, and people can move, so the battle formation can be said to be flexible compared to the large formation.
It has enhanced mobility and lost a lot of power, but in terms of level, it is also a god and demon, but because the battle formation of gods and demons requires a large army, it is too rigid, unless the gods and demons are motionless and directly fight with the battle formation. , otherwise the gods and demons will definitely win.
A battle formation is made up of people, and naturally it is made weak by people. A huge army cannot go without food and drink all the time. This is where it is inferior to a large formation.
But they are at the same level. As long as they can continue to make up for their shortcomings, their power will naturally become stronger and stronger.
Peerless Taoist soldiers are also called heavenly soldiers, which is an essential leap.
However, like the Southern Army, they are all fake heavenly soldiers. This kind of battle formation between gods and demons is just a battle formation based on ten thousand gold oil. Similar to the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation, they purely rely on the number of people and then improve their quality.
Real heavenly soldiers are not more numerous than humans, but tens of thousands of people, capable of setting up battle arrays between gods and demons.
There must be such a unit in the Southern Army. It is the heritage of the clan, but it must be controlled by the gods and demons themselves.
Dou Changsheng pondered and listened to Xia Houxuan's chattering voice. The nine volumes of True Dragon were very familiar, and he immediately remembered that he had also obtained a volume of Hidden Dragon.
This thing is repeated. I have the "Twenty-Eight Constellations Formation" and can train twenty-eight types of high-grade Taoist soldiers. Seven of them are combined into one, which is the real heavenly weapon, not the fake heavenly weapon like the top-grade Taoist soldiers. The battle formation of gods and demons created with the help of a huge army may seem very strong, but in fact it is just bullying the weak. The huge number of people is too rigid and difficult to command. Dou Changsheng felt this deeply in Tianwaitian.
In response to this, Dou Changsheng shook his head and refused to preach: "My father-in-law, there is no need to say any more."
"My father-in-law and I told him that I am loyal to Dazhou, and heaven and earth can learn from it."
Xia Houxuan showed a meaningful expression and said meaningfully: "I understand, I understand."
"A good son-in-law is a loyal minister of Zhou Dynasty, and he will definitely not do such a thing."
Immediately, the words changed and he said: "The top-grade Taoist soldiers are powerful. They cannot defeat the gods and demons, and they cannot bully the weak. The Great Zhou Dingding only relied on the top-grade Taoist soldiers to win."
"The Gongye clan was able to support the great Zhou Dynasty, and the Xiahou clan was also able to support the virtuous son-in-law."
"As long as the virtuous son-in-law provides resources, the Xiahou clan will mobilize the entire clan and all affiliated families to work together to build soldiers and armor for the virtuous son-in-law."
What a fuck.
This old guy is not only annoying, but also unable to understand. Dou Changsheng has said more than once that he will not rebel, but Xia Houxuan has this "I understand" expression every time, and then continues to talk about how to rebel.
Dou Changsheng was extremely annoyed, and in his irritated heart, he couldn't help but said: "No need to say any more, I have the method of heavenly weapons."
After saying this sentence, Dou Changsheng regretted it. Why was he so impulsive? Wouldn't this just add fuel to the fire? Just as Dou Changsheng thought, Xia Houxuan was stunned for a moment, and after three or five breaths of silence, he started chattering again. : "A worthy son-in-law is worthy of being a loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"I know that the Great Zhou Dynasty is in danger of overthrowing, so I have prepared countermeasures early. In the future, I will rely on my virtuous son-in-law to support the Great Zhou Dynasty and protect the safety of the world."
wucuoxs/96593/"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"It's just that a good son-in-law will suffer in the future. After all, managing thousands of miles of mountains and rivers also requires a lot of energy."
"I don't know if Xiansu has already forged armor and weapons, as well as array flags and other utensils for setting up battle formations. I am not trying to peek into Xiansu's secret method of heavenly weapons, but I want to help Xiansu solve problems. If it involves secrets, Xiansu can hide them himself. , the Xiahou family is willing to help the virtuous son-in-law, and the Xiahou family has a special production workshop for ordinary weapons and armor."
"This was established three hundred years ago. It has been sealed and has never been used. It is guaranteed to be secretive, safe and fast."
Dou Changsheng wanted to scold Xia Houxuan loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am not that kind of person at all, but my father-in-law gave me too much. The Twenty-eight Constellations Star Formation is related to the human race and is the basis for unifying all races in the future. Dou Changsheng's attitude After the change, Xia Houxuan changed from an old guy to a respected father-in-law, and he couldn't help but say:
"I wonder if the Xiahou family has studied the power of the four images of green dragon, white tiger, red bird, and Xuanwu. If they are casting weapons in this aspect, can the Xiahou family guarantee the quality of the finished product?"
Xia Houxuanxiao's eyes narrowed and he looked at Dou Changsheng full of disgust. Just now he was indifferent and he thought he was a loyal minister and filial son. Now his true nature must have been exposed.
The father-in-law was very arrogant, and Dou Changsheng cooperated very well. Xia Houxuan then slowly said: "As for the Qinglong and other four images, they have already achieved enlightenment and have been recognized by heaven and earth. They are similar to the original power of heaven and earth, and can be used by all races. a kind of power.”
"Yimu Qinglong represents vitality. Who can ignore this kind of power? Any weapon-making family must have researched it. But who has studied this aspect the most deeply is unknown among all races. But here in the human race, the five major weapon-making families , my Xiahou family is definitely at the top of the list."
"I say second, no one dares to claim first."
Dou Changsheng took a step forward. The ice soul knife that was being fired on the side was no longer fragrant. Now his father-in-law was the most fragrant.
"The white tiger has the strongest killing power among the four elephants, including Kui, Lou, Wei, Pleiades, Bi, Shen, and Xi, with a total of fifty-four constellations and more than seven hundred stars."
"I wonder if my father-in-law can refine more than 700 formation flags, each of which represents the stars in the White Tiger Seven Constellations, and can also draw the power of the stars."
Dou Changsheng said this, looking at Xia Houxuan's half-smiling look, his voice also dropped by three points. This request is a bit excessive. This is a huge resource output. Daliang heavy armored soldiers are a kind of top-grade Taoist soldiers. Lao Liang Wang can afford it because of the Nine Netherworld Cult.
Baihu Qisu is one of the seven top-grade Taoist soldiers. The Xiahou family is rich. It is of course possible to go bankrupt, but this situation is absolutely impossible. What does it mean to be united and give full support? Just listen. A family that has been passed down for thousands of years has a size It is very large, but it has long been rigid. Even the main line is not willing to let all the clan members contribute selflessly. The actual situation is that everyone has their own thoughts.
This father-in-law is unreasonable. He was so moved by what he said that he just said, "Take off your pants and show me this."
Dou Changsheng weighed it up and then said again: "I have been named King Chen, and my fiefdom will definitely increase."
Xia Houxuan directly shook his head and rejected the sermon: "The output of the fiefdom is fine for a good son-in-law to spend money on, but if he wants to hoard weapons and armor, it won't even be enough."
Dou Changsheng thought about it. Chenzhou is far inferior to Liangzhou. Liangzhou is an upper continent, while Chenzhou is only a lower continent. It is famous because of Princess Chen and old man Tianji’s saying that Chenzhou is an immortal. Last time he forgot to ask Okay, is this true?
The old Liang King's fiefdom was not enough, he also had to add a huge industry, and secretly asked for blood transfusions from the Jiuyouming Sect. Dou Changsheng, who originally had no interest in the mysterious master, now planned to contact the mysterious master soon, and take advantage of the situation to establish an alliance with the Yinji Sect. Ask for money.
As a holy son, should I be promoted to a liter? If not, I still have to pay.
"My father-in-law also knows about the blessed land. Nowadays, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice. I am selling my share of the blessed land. This is wealth that can be passed down for three thousand years. My father-in-law is interested."
"If my father-in-law is interested, he can just pay directly. If he is not interested, I will find a buyer privately."
Xiahou Xuan shook his head and said: "The Xiahou family has a huge family business, there are too many people, and the branches are luxuriant. If we get the share of the blessed land, there will definitely be another dispute. A bowl of water cannot balance it. This is a way to bring disaster."
"The Xiahou family will not want this share. I am optimistic that a virtuous son-in-law will be a god in the future. With a virtuous son-in-law here, without this share, my descendants will not suffer. They will definitely have endless wealth and will be passed down from generation to generation."
"Selling the share of the blessed land, I will handle this for you. This wealth is enough to cast a set of White Tiger Qisu formation flags."
"Give me all the specifications. This time Xiahou will not charge a penny, but you will have to bear the resources yourself."
"But it's only this once, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to my tribe."
Dou Changsheng nodded and said: "Next time I will have to pay of course."
Dou Changsheng suddenly thought of Zhujian Mountain. Jiugong Furnace was not allowed to be used by him. He could obtain the inheritance of Zhujian Mountain. It was a method of cultivation. He wanted to explain. Dou Changsheng calmed down and only now came into contact with the Xiahou family. This time to test one or two, I will visit Xiahou Family again to see if Xiahou Family can cooperate in depth.
Xia Houxuan smiled and nodded. Now Dou Changsheng is full-fledged. He has the support of many masters in Tianwaitian and many kingdoms. There is no shortage of soldiers. Originally, the quality of Tianwaitian Taoist soldiers was not high, which was a flaw. But he never thought that Dou Changsheng had heavenly soldiers. This shortcoming in the training method has been made up, and with the help of the Xiahou family, there are both people and weapons.
The world is in chaos, and soldiers are kings. Dou Changsheng has a heavenly army in his hand, and the chance of founding a new dynasty is extremely high.
The imperial court couldn't help but confine such a dangerous guy in the capital city, cut off his connection with the local area, and spare Dou Changsheng the opportunity to cultivate his wings, and instead let him go to the south.
I also don’t want to think about Dou Changsheng going to Tianwai Tian, and having many masters take refuge in him. If he goes to the south, he is afraid that he will make great achievements again. When the time comes, he will return to the divine capital, and his momentum will be even greater. He will eradicate Taizong and Gaozong, and support the young master to ascend the throne. I'm going to change my last name this week.
The sound of hurried steps was heard, and Guan Xinran said in a hurry: "Something happened in the south."
"King Xiang is dead."
"The Governor Cao who delivered the message is already on the way. He wants to ask the master to go south and go to the Southern Army to investigate the death of King Zong."
"This is a major case. Once King Xiang dies, the Southern Army will no longer have a nominal leader."
Guan Xinran spoke urgently, while Xia Houxuan on the side looked horrified and looked at Dou Changsheng with fear.
Meng Lang.
Luban gets a big ax in front of the gate.
I never expected that Dou Changsheng had already arranged everything clearly.
If the clan loses the Southern Army!
I dare not think about the consequences.
