Liang Xingyang did not leave after all, but entered Xianzhou City with Yu Huazi the next day.
The two factions in the city are now competing fiercely. First, the representative of the south, Governor Chen Potian of Zhenyuan, met with Liang Xingyang and Yu Huazi.
Mainly, Chen Potian had heard some things about the Tianxin Sect in Jiangnan, and knew that it was the Sword Immortal Sect on the Yuxiao Mountain side and had an unclear relationship with the Golden Lantern Sect.
With a friendly expression on his face, he invited Liang Xingyang and Yu Huazi to drink tea, expressing the hope that they could support King Xian.
Liang Xingyang thought for a while: "They are all descendants of the royal family. It doesn't matter which one I support. I will support whoever can help everyone gather together, drive away the northern captives, and revive the country. I want to see King Xian."
Chen Potian hesitated and agreed to introduce them the next day.
Yu Huazi said: "If the Northern faction doesn't look for us, will we support King Xian?"
Liang Xingyang hesitated and said, "We still have to see if King Xian is successful. I think we still have to meet both parties."
"But if the Northern faction doesn't come to us, do we have to go see him directly?"
When Yu Huazi said going to see him directly, he naturally meant using magic.
Liang Xingyang shook his head: "Let's get out of the way and say that the Tianxin Sect and the Shenlu Sect have met with Chen Potian and will meet with King Xian tomorrow. Let's see what the Northern Sect's reaction is. If they really don't want to see us, then forget it."
Yu Huazi asked his disciples to let the wind go. Sure enough, at night, the northern faction also sent a representative, Sun Zexiao, the left minister of the Ministry of War, saying that King Zhong had offered to see them.
So, in the next two days, Liang Xingyang and Yu Huazi met with the two princes one after another.
Xian Wang Xia Cun was of the same generation as the late emperor. He was a fair, plump, middle-aged prince. His attitude towards the two of them could not be said to be good or bad. In short, they were all polite. After hearing the news of the prince's death, he cried for two days. The voice expressed sadness, and when they came out, they each received a piece of extremely high-quality overseas dragon soul jade.
The bell king, Xia Yuanduo, was of the same generation as the prince. He was not very old, only seventeen or eighteen years old. As soon as they met, he asked Liang Xingyang about Xia Cunxu: "Why didn't Uncle Wang come with him?"
Liang Xingyang was a little surprised: "Do you still know him? He is outside."
Because the royal bloodline was not allowed to cultivate immortality, Xia Cunxu caused trouble last time he entered the capital and was arrested and imprisoned. Liang Xingyang did not allow Xia Cunxu to appear in front of the officials, but he did not expect Xia Yuanduo to take the initiative to mention it.
Xia Yuanduo hurriedly ordered someone to invite him: "Uncle Wang is here in person. I will greet him at the door."
After saying that, he actually arrived at the door of the room and stood on the steps. When Xia Cunxu came in, their eyes met. He immediately walked down the steps and knelt down in front of Xia Cunxu: "My nephew Yuan Duo has met Uncle Wang!"
Xia Cunxu quickly helped him up: "I have become a monk and practiced Taoism, and the lineage of King Yuping is no longer there."
Xia Yuanduo's eyes turned red: "The collapse of the Great Xia Dynasty is imminent! The world is corrupt, and all the people of Li are being ravaged in the mud! My descendants of the Xia family are scattered all over the place. Although my uncle has become a monk, he is still my uncle after all. The bloodline left by our ancestors Can't break..."
There is indeed some similarity between the two of them. When the uncle and nephew talked about the destruction of their country and their family, they both choked up with sobs when they met their relatives. I couldn't help but burst into tears.
When he arrived at the room, Xia Yuanduo first invited Liang Xingyang to sit down: "You are my uncle's master, and you are my master. I am also a guest living here. Everything is simple, and there is nothing good to entertain the master. I hope you can see Haihan." Then he invited you. Yu Huazi sat down with Liang Xingyang, and then asked Xia Cunxu to sit as a guard on the host's side.
Liang Xingyang came here this time to see King Zhong. He was much more affectionate and righteous than King Xian. Whether he was pretending or showing his true feelings, even if he was just pretending, it also represented his attitude toward others. The Tianxin Sect and the Shenlu Sect attach great importance to it!
Liang Xingyang listened to him talking to Xia Cunxu about the important affairs of the country, and occasionally interrupted to ask him some questions, such as who is more suitable to be the emperor now that the prince is gone, and who can lead everyone back to the north and restore the country.
Xia Yuanduo clenched his fists: "Actually, it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you can convince everyone!"
Enough to unite the people of the world to resist foreign aggression! Speaking of royal blood, even Uncle Wang Yuping is of the same Xia family blood. Can't he be the emperor? "
Xia Cunxu quickly waved his hand: "I am a monk. I have abandoned all fate and entered the mountains to practice Taoism..."
Xia Yuanduo added: "Even if it's not the Xia family, Zhang Wang, Li Zhao, Chen Ding, Han Song, as long as we can lead everyone to fight back together, we can do anything!"
Saying this is actually a bit treasonous. From the perspective of feudal etiquette, if an outsider says this, it is already a serious crime of beheading. Saying this by a royal family member proves that he does not put the interests of the Xia family first. You can also be expelled from the clan or imprisoned.
From the objective reality of people's hearts, the only one that can be recognized by everyone now is the Xia family. If it were replaced by another Zhang Wang Li Zhao, a large number of people would definitely be dissatisfied.
To put it bluntly, it’s not that the Xia family is so powerful that they can suppress the people with one surname. In fact, if the people want to unite, they must have their surname. The Xia family is a big flag. When it is erected, everyone can gather here. Under the banner of the pole, we work together to accomplish a big thing. If there is no such banner and the flags of others are raised, it will cause division. No one will obey the other, and in the end they will commit suicide.
As one of the two candidates vying for the throne, Xia Yuanduo said such a thing, which was actually very inappropriate.
Yu Huazi frowned after hearing this, and Liang Xingyang asked about other things.
Through the back-and-forth conversation, Liang Xingyang discovered that this young man is a passionate young man...
Xia Yuanduo really wanted to cultivate immortality. He had a dream of becoming an immortal since he was a child, but unfortunately his royal bloodline did not allow him to do so. When he was a child, he secretly got a book to cultivate, but his father found out about it. Go to the ground.
It can be said that Xia Cunxu fulfilled his dream of practicing immortality and Taoism, flying in the sky with a sword, and performing various magical powers!
When he looked at Xia Cunxu, he felt that his family had declined, his children were scattered, he felt the closeness of meeting relatives in a foreign land, and he also felt the feeling of worshiping an idol.
He firmly opposed the ancestral precept that prohibited the royal family from cultivating immortality, but because it was an ancestral precept, he did not dare to object openly, but he expressed disapproval both inside and outside of his words, and wanted to practice Taoism with Xia Cunxu...
Yes, his main purpose of meeting Xia Cunxu today was to cultivate immortality with Xia Cunxu. It didn't matter to him whether he was the emperor or not!
He kept asking Xia Cunxu about immortal magic. After cultivating immortality, can he retrieve objects from a distance, read words across walls, melt gold and iron with magic, control writing with a brush using his mind, can this be done, can he write with a brush? So, how can we do this or that...
Under his chattering questioning, time flew by quickly. Liang Xingyang proposed to leave, but Xia Yuanduo repeatedly persuaded him to stay and asked his servants to prepare the meal. After the meal was finished, he chatted with Xia Cunxu endlessly.
When I met Xian Wang Xia Cun the day before, it only took less than twenty minutes to actually sit down and talk, which was no more than a cup of tea.
I met Xia Yuanduo today, but it took more than six hours from morning to afternoon!
Seeing that the sun was turning to the west, the guards came in to hold the lamp, and they had to leave. Xia Yuanduo's eyes turned red again, and he reluctantly got up to see the three of them out.
When he arrived at the courtyard, Xia Yuanduo looked around and saw that the guards were all standing far away. He begged Xia Cunxu in a low voice with slight sobs: "Uncle, you have some free time. Please come and see your nephew. I just ask that I be of the Xia family's blood." superior."
Xia Cunxu was very surprised after hearing this and asked in a low voice: "But someone is threatening you?"
Xia Yuanduo did not nod or shake his head: "Just think of your uncle as caring about your nephew."
After leaving the temporary palace and arriving at the inn, Liang Xingyang and Yu Huazi studied countermeasures.
First of all, both of them reached a consensus and supported the Bell King Xia Yuanduo!
Although this child seems immature, he has some real temperament and looks much better than the idiot Xia Cun is.
Liang Xingyang asked Xia Cunxu: "One is your clan brother and the other is your clan nephew. You choose yourself."
Xia Cunxu thought seriously for a moment and said to Liang Xingyang, "I support King Xian."
Liang Xingyang was surprised: "Why King Xian?"
Xia Cunxu said: "We only need a royal clan member who can unite everyone.
No one is important. King Xian wants to be emperor. Seeing how mature and prudent he is, even if he fails, he will not make any mistakes. King Zhong wants to cultivate immortality even more. I sincerely ask Master for permission to accept him as my disciple and guide him up the mountain. "
Liang Xingyang thought for a while and said to Yu Huazi, "This is a way to get the best of both worlds."
But Yu Huazi frowned: "King Zhong represents the interests of the Northern Faction. The Northern Faction brought him from Jiangbei to Jiangnan. How can he just retreat like this?"
"This is indeed a thing, but if I take King Zhong away, they probably won't be able to stop me."
Yu Huazi said: "Even if they can't stop him, they will still produce another king. There are still a few royal family members in the south of the Yangtze River. If they push anyone out at will, they will definitely compete with the people of the southern sect."
Liang Xingyang felt overwhelmed. This kind of thing was more difficult than practicing to master the fires of the heavens!
So what should we do...
Before he could figure out a way, the Lianshan Sect in the north began to cross the river!
The Lianshan Cult collected many ships, including many warships, in order to cross the Huangting River, conquer the south of the Yangtze River, and destroy the Xia Dynasty in one fell swoop.
When a powerful enemy came, the northern and southern factions rushed to send troops to fight. The northern faction led the troops in Bian Na, Mr. Shen Yuefeng, the governor of the left governor, and the general soldiers of the four towns under his command were all withdrawn from Jiangbei.
Some of the troops under the command of the generals of the towns in the north of the Yangtze River were maimed and disappeared, and some became stronger as they became more mixed. Finally, these four major groups arrived in the south of the Yangtze River and joined Shen Yuefeng's command. Together, they supported King Zhong. The total number was twelve or thirteen. Ten thousand. Read the book
The leader of the southern faction was Chen Potian, the governor of Zhenyuan. The troops in Jiangnan had not experienced war, and their structures were still intact.
Originally, Zhenyuan was located across the Yangtze River, both in the north and the south. However, since the government was located in the south of the Yangtze River, the main force of the army was also in the south of the Yangtze River. When a fight broke out in the north of the Yangtze River, he saw that the situation was not good, so he united the Xunyuan and Liyuan regions and found various parties. The aristocratic families sent troops and money, gathering a total of more than 200,000 troops.
Comparing the two sides, the southern faction has more people, more money and food, is a local leader, and has more warships in the army.
The northern faction has mainly experienced the baptism of war, and those who can escape to the south alive are veterans of hundreds of battles, the best of the best.
The two sides agreed to use Xiancheng as the boundary, with the northern faction guarding the upper reaches and the southern faction guarding the lower reaches.
Liang Xingyang and Yu Huazi did not follow the team, but stood on a Muyang Mountain by the river to watch the battle.
The Huangting River is very wide. This is already the lower reaches. The river is more than 300 miles wide. It is almost impossible to cross the river by pontoon bridge.
There were many warships on both sides. The big Tianluobao was up to a hundred feet long. There were five on the south bank of the river and one on the north bank of the river. There were tens of thousands of other large and small ships. The north side of the river was covered with war clouds and full of murderous intent.
The Lianshan Sect sent a total of two cavalry southward, with the Green Flag Army in the east and the Black Flag Army in the west. Both sides took warships to attack the south bank.
There is a Jiangxin Island in the center of the river. It is not large in area. The Xia army did not send anyone to guard it. It was easily occupied by the Lianshan army. After resting on it for a while, they attacked again and headed towards the south bank.
Many of the Xia troops were frightened. Neither the northern nor the southern factions dared to sail to the river to engage in battle. They only connected the ships together and placed sky-rocketing cannons, large god-killing crossbows, and sky-shattering arrows on the shore behind them to block the attack.
On the opposite ship, the black flag was fluttering, and there were also continuous artillery and various crossbow arrows on the ship. Shooting from both sides, the black flag troops with bright armor shouted in unison, and summoned the big black bear, the main god!
The 100-foot-long black bear was suspended above the Huangting River. After not being seen for many days, he became even stronger than when he was in Tianmu City!
Liang Xingyang felt a heavy pressure when he looked at the bear, and a powerful impact hit his face!
The bear was about the same height as before, but it was more condensed. Every bear hair on its body was clearly distinguishable. A pair of eyes revealed a dazzling red light. The innermost part was full of fangs. Two of them were sticking out of the lips. He was wearing black armor and still had a black gun in his hand.
The most terrible thing is that he has an extra pair of wings on his back!
The big wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun, and a shadow quickly appeared on the river.
This bear demon was injured by Liang Xingyang and ran away. Now that he saw him again, not only did he not become weaker, but he became even stronger. It is conceivable that during this period, he
How many flesh, blood and souls of the people of the Central Plains have been devoured!
As soon as the bear came out, Xia Jun on the south bank was scared to death. Fortunately, Mr. Shen Yuefeng from Zhixiang shouted: "How can you be so righteous and righteous, so why be afraid of evil spirits!" The voice rolled like thunder, echoing on the river bank. More than 100,000 Xia troops pulled back.
"The moon sets in the sky, and the waterfall is filled with stars! The heaven and earth are full of righteousness, and the sky is awe-inspiring!"
The four formations of 120,000 Xia troops deployed on the south bank were exactly the Yanyue formation. Following Shen Yuefeng's order, a total of 300 God-killing crossbows, 1,200 Sky-breaking Arrows, 5,000 Dragon-Stringing Crossbows, and Five hundred thunderbolts opened fire at the same time, turning into thousands of meteors and firing a volley at the black bear demon!
The sound of sharp blades cutting through the air was rapid and dense, and the hearts of those who heard it twitched. Liang Xingyang even felt his scalp numb. He secretly thought that if he faced such a dense attack, he could only combine his sword and man into one, and rise into the air at the fastest speed. Go, and try to get in front of the God-killing crossbow. I wonder how the black bear demon will resist it.
