Chen Xianchao did not refuse Zhu Zhang's visit.
"There are only eight hundred of you."
Zhu Zhang said: "Your Highness Prince Jing, don't worry. As early as a few months ago, we have assembled King Jing's army in various places in Da Li, no less than 100,000 people. As long as His Highness raises his arms, King Jing's army will immediately rise up, and they will be approaching in a few days." Da Li Imperial City."
Zhu Zhang is very good at timing.
At this juncture, the imperial city of Dali was most empty.
If Gu Miaozai had arrived at the right time, he would have entered the palace as everyone in the world had guessed.
The insurrectionary army of King Jing's army was able to capture the imperial city in an instant.
Zhu Zhang slightly avoided Chen Xianchao's gaze. He had seen many people and was kind to people's hearts.
But I have never seen Chen Xianchao's eyes look like this, as if there was no emotion at all, as cold as a sword.
"Zhu Zhang, I'll give you a chance."
Zhu Zhang immediately replied: "The general is all ears."
"Accompany me to Mount Putuo, and I will sacrifice the head of the best person in the world to the flag. If you can come back with me, I will let you proclaim yourself emperor in the new Jing Dynasty."
Zhu Zhang's heart felt like it was suddenly struck by thunder.
Although he had gathered 100,000 men, his troops were unknown. Even though he was using the banner of the Dajing disciples, in the eyes of the world, King Jing's army was still a rebel force seeking to usurp the throne.
He supported Chen Xianchao as king, and he just wanted to use Chen Xianchao's name as the orphan of Dajing to give his army of King Jing the name of restoring the Dajing Dynasty.
"Accompany His Highness to Mount Putuo?"
Chen Xian said: "Are you afraid?"
Zhu Zhang shook his head and said firmly: "I'm just afraid that if I don't have three heads and six arms, I won't be able to carry more heads for His Highness."
Chen Xian said: "In that case, follow me to Putuo Mountain now. I will kill people, and you will take the lead."
On Li Jing Road.
Two fierce horses galloped eastward.
"Chen Xianchao, do you need to go to such trouble?"
"If you go directly to Mount Putuo and then go to the palace, the worst possible outcome will be like the Southern Dynasties, where you killed Emperor Da Li with one sword. Which emperor do you want to say? Who dares to say no?"
Chen Xianchao said: "The situation in the Southern Dynasty is different from that of Da Li. When Liu Feng was the emperor, both the people and the officials had resentment in their hearts. First, Liu Feng did not do anything. As an emperor, he indulged in pleasure and lust; second, Liu Feng favored Nangong. Yueze, there are no less than a hundred important officials in the court who died indirectly at the hands of Nangong Yueze in the past three years; thirdly, the Gu family has been the pillar of the dynasty since the establishment of the Southern Dynasty, and their reputation is even higher than that of the royal family of the Southern Dynasty."
"Some people may object to Gu Longcheng becoming emperor, but Gu Longcheng can suppress this voice. But Da Li is different. Tuoba Cangqiong is indeed a good emperor. Under his governance, the people of Da Li Dynasty have lived in peace and prosperity over the years, and the country has become strong. . If I kill him, I will not be able to suppress the anger of the people of Da Li."
Meng Can said disdainfully: "People live in peace? Then why are there still 100,000 rebels gathered by Zhu Zhang?"
"The Da Li Dynasty had nearly 10 million people, and there were not many 100,000 people. In troubled times, everyone wants to be king. Both Zhu Zhang and the group of King Jing's troops he assembled are people with evil intentions. He thought In my name, Dajing, why don’t I want to eat this batch of King Jing’s troops?”
Meng Can clicked her tongue twice and asked: "When did you learn the power tactics of those in the court? Don't you only know how to kill people? Whoever wants to kill you, you kill, it's so simple and comfortable. Do that kind of thing ,No trouble?"
Chen Xianchao said: "From the day I knew my identity, I understood that I needed to know many things. Mr. Liu taught me a lot. Except for the benevolence and righteousness he said that I have abandoned, I have kept everything else in mind."
"In Zhu Zhang's heart, I am just a charlatan after all. He will be afraid of me because I can kill people. But I want him to sincerely obey me and be willing to be my sharp knife to restore Dajing."
Meng Can said: "I really obey you? How? If you take him to Mount Putuo, in the final analysis, you still have to use your force to scare him. If he obeys you, he still has to worry about you killing him."
Chen Xianchao said: "I brought him here to make him see clearly that no one who I, Chen Xianchao, want to kill can survive. This is the first step."
Meng Can asked: "What about the second step?"
Chen Xian said: "He didn't die on Putuo Mountain, so he could take the second step."
This way, we slept and ate in the open air.
Chen Xianchao didn't say stop, and Zhu Zhang didn't dare to stop either.
It wasn't until the third day that their horses couldn't hold up any longer, so they found a post station and replaced their horses.
Only then did they learn that Gu Miaozai had entered the imperial city.
"As expected, His Highness knew what was going to happen. Tuoba Jingtan actually didn't show up to stop Gu Miaozai."
Before leaving.
Zhu Zhang had doubts.
Once Gu Miaozai appears in the imperial city, it is impossible for Tuoba Jingtan to stay in Mount Putuo.
Now, his doubts disappeared.
But what surprised Chen Xianchao was that apart from Exile Mountain and the Valley of Ten Evils, there were still people in the Imperial City of Li who could block Gu Miaozai's sword.
"Is this person named Li Tianming also from Jianxuan Continent?"
Meng Can began to believe Chen Xianchao's words. The small island of Hongni Island had indeed attracted the covetousness of many forces.
"I have only been away from Dreamland for a hundred years. When did they become interested in such a small place?"
Chen Xian said: "The land without an owner can create benefits if you hold it in your hands. Maybe this red mud island has other places that interest them."
Seeing that Chen Xianchao was silent, Zhu Zhang continued: "Your Highness, now Gu Miaozai and Li Tianming are fighting, and both sides will suffer. Some people say that Tuoba Jingtan has planted many secret chess pieces in the imperial city. If they take action at this time, wouldn't we be in vain? A trip to Putuo Mountain?"
Chen Xian said: "If they really dare to take action, replace them. Your King Jing's army can enter the imperial city without even using my banner of Dajing. It can directly enter the imperial city with the banner of crusade against the rebels. It is not a bad thing for you." .”
Zhu Zhang said quickly: "I will follow His Highness to the death. Your Highness is determined to go to Mount Putuo. He must have a long-term plan that I cannot see. I am short-sighted, so please forgive me."
"We can board the East Island tomorrow morning, so we don't have to waste time here."
At dawn.
The morning glow drives away a touch of pearly white on the horizon.
Chen Xianchao set foot on Dongdao again, and this time there was no Hong Zhilong blocking the road.
"Chen Xianchao, my master has prepared fragrant tea, just waiting for you to climb the mountain."
Chen Xianchao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked, "Who are you?"
"He Qiu."
"How many disciples does Tuoba Jingtan have?"
"Four, you killed two."
Chen Xianchao nodded and asked, "Do you want to kill me?"
He Qiu shook his head and said, "My master didn't say I could kill you, so I don't want to."
"Zhu Zhang, follow me up the mountain."
He Qiu blocked Zhu Zhang's path and said, "My master didn't say that others can go up the mountain."
"I said he could go up the mountain."
He Qiu said: "Unless I die, he can go up the mountain."
blow.
Blood spattered half of Zhu Zhang's face, and the warm blood suddenly turned into a dark cloud covering Zhu Zhang's heart.
He looked at Chen Xianchao and realized that the rumors coming from the Southern Dynasty were not false.
When Chen Xianchao kills someone, he doesn't care who the other person is.
"Hold his head and follow me up the mountain."
Zhu Zhang carried He Qiu's head and followed Chen Xianchao before climbing the stairs.
"Chen Xianchao, you can go up the mountain, but he can't."
Chen Xianchao looked at Lu Ting and said, "Lu Ting, I owe you a favor. You can't break Tuoba Jingtan's rules, so I won't kill you."
Lu Ting said: "If you don't kill me, he can't go up the mountain."
The first rule in the world.
Chen Xianchao nodded slightly and said, "I have repaid your kindness once, and now it is my rule."
The plain sword was unsheathed, and Chen Xianchao gave Lu Ting the opportunity to hold the sword.
---
Exiled to the foot of the mountain, to the bay at the heart of the mountain.
Several figures appeared on a large steel ship.
One of them breathed in the breath of the red mud island and said with a look of disdain: "How can such a useless opponent grow any magical medicine? That loser Xue Qing actually lost his life in an uncivilized place. .”
Another person said: "No matter what happens here, no matter how useless Xue Qing is, he is also Xue Gu's grandson. What we have to do is to catch the person who killed Xue Qing."
"Has the positioning stone on Xue Qing's body reacted?"
When the two heard this, they got out of the way.
"Senior Brother Hongya, after entering Hongni Island, the location stone has determined the place where Xue Qing died."
"Find his body first, and then go to the Dali Palace."
