The White Lotus Sect, the Beggar Gang and other anti-Qing rebel forces caused turmoil in various places, shaking the Qing court.
In order to suppress the unrest, the imperial court had to temporarily suspend its operations in Jianghu, concentrate its forces, and go to various places for reinforcements to suppress the rebels.
In the west of the Qing Dynasty, in a small town in Hexi.
Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue hid here with the remaining disciples of the Sword Sect.
In the battle of the Golden Palace, with the assistance of the three major forces of Tianzun, Tianzong and the Sun and Moon Sect, although the Jianzong successfully destroyed the Golden Palace and even killed many masters of the major sects, in the end due to the intervention of the imperial court, the Jianzong Many people also died. At this moment, out of eighty-one swordsmen, only forty-eight were left.
In addition, during this period, the imperial court sent large armies to hunt and kill them, and they were forced to be separated from the people of Tianzong, Tianzun and the Sun and Moon Sect.
At this moment, everyone suddenly received the news that the imperial court had withdrawn its troops.
"The imperial court has withdrawn its troops?"
Hearing the news, Ye Gucheng frowned, a little confused.
Ye Xiang said in a deep voice: "According to the intelligence, it is said that the anti-Qing rebel forces such as the White Lotus Sect, the Beggar Clan, the Taiping Dao, the Red Flower Society, and the Tiandi Society once again caused turmoil in various parts of the Qing Dynasty. The Shenlong Sect also took advantage of the chaos and rose up. They continued to attack officials from all over the Qing Dynasty. In just a few days, the southern part of the Qing Dynasty had been completely occupied. That dog thief Dorgon should have mobilized his troops to suppress the unrest, so he had no energy to hunt us down."
"That's it." Ye Gucheng nodded slightly, feeling relieved.
In order to hunt them down this time, the Qing army conducted a rigorous search in the west. As soon as they found traces of them, it didn't take long for them to directly attack the border with a large number of troops. At least several thousand Eight Banners troops were dispatched at the same time, and among them were some who had surrendered to the Qing court. A master of martial arts.
Although they are extremely powerful and can retreat safely every time, if they continue like this, their spirits will be tense and it has to be said that it is very uncomfortable.
This is also one of the reasons why Jianghu warriors are unwilling to dispute with the imperial court.
After all, the imperial court has a large number of people. No matter how high their martial arts are, as long as they have not reached the level of Yuhuatian where hundreds of thousands of troops can be regarded as nothing, they cannot ignore the power of the imperial court's army.
Thousands of people, if the stalemate continues, they can be killed even if they are piled with human lives.
"Then what should we do now?" Ximen Chuixue frowned and asked in a deep voice.
During the battle at the Golden Palace, Lu Xiaofeng and others were separated from him.
During this time, Lu Xiaofeng and others were also on the Qing court's wanted list, and he was very worried about Lu Xiaofeng and the others.
Ye Gucheng pondered for a moment and was about to speak when there was sudden movement outside.
"who?!"
Everyone in the mansion instantly became vigilant, with sharp eyes, they all drew their swords and stood up, looking out the door.
The majestic sword force filled the palace.
But the next second, a slightly respectful voice suddenly came from outside: "I am from Jin Yiwei, and I am asking to see Sect Master Ye on the orders of the Governor."
Jinyiwei?
Ye Gucheng's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand to signal everyone to leave. Then he looked outside and said calmly: "Come in."
Squeak——
The door opened, and a spy in black robes walked in, saluted Ye Gucheng and said:
"For your humble position, please see Sect Leader Ye!"
Ye Gucheng nodded: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
He was not surprised that Jin Yiwei was able to find their hiding place.
He has already seen Jin Yiwei's abilities.
Nowadays, everywhere in the Qing Dynasty is under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei.
Maybe it's an innkeeper, maybe it's a vegetable vendor, or maybe it's a beggar on the roadside... No one can tell how many spies Jin Yiwei has lurked in the Qing Dynasty.
These people were scattered throughout the Qing Dynasty, obtaining intelligence and delivering news at the same time. They were just waiting for one day, after Yuhuatian's order was issued, they would rise up and overthrow the Tatar dynasty!
The Jin Yiwei said respectfully: "The Governor has an order. The original plan remains unchanged. Sect Master Ye can continue to act. This time, the Governor will help in secret to help Sect Master Ye deal with some masters who cannot be solved."
"Is it finally starting?"
A glint flashed in Ye Gucheng's eyes.
What was the original plan?
Naturally, it is based on the Sword Sect to unify the Qing Dynasty!
It seems that the unrest between the White Lotus Sect, Beggar Clan and other forces was also caused by Yuhuatian. The purpose was to contain the Qing court and make the Qing army retreat!
At this moment, not only Ye Gucheng, but also Ximen Chuixue and others also vaguely understood Yuhuatian's plan.
"I understand, go back!" Ye Gucheng looked at the Jin Yiwei and said.
"Yes." The Jin Yiwei saluted again, then turned and left.
"Sect Master, which force should we attack first?" Seeing the Jin Yiwei leaving, Guo Ding couldn't wait to step forward and asked.
They already knew about Ye Gucheng's relationship with the Ming Dynasty, but they didn't care about it.
Because they were following Ye Gucheng.
Hearing this, Ye Gucheng pondered for a moment, then looked at everyone and asked: "Which force do you think is appropriate to attack first?"
Ye Xiang said in a deep voice: "My subordinates suggest that we start with the Five Blessings Alliance first!"
"The forces of the Five Blessings Alliance are mainly concentrated in the central and northern areas of the Qing Dynasty. As long as the Five Blessings Alliance is destroyed, we can control most of the martial arts forces in the northwest and northwest. Moreover, in the last battle of the Golden Palace, the Five Blessings Alliance also participated and killed There are many of us, and it would be unkind to not avenge this!"
The Wufu Alliance is a regional martial arts alliance composed of five sects: Hanfeng Castle, Sunset Ranch, Tianwu Escort Bureau, Shengjiazhuang, and Pili Hall. It is a sworn enemy of the Iron-Blooded Banner Sect in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty. In the world of martial arts, it can also be regarded as a Top power.
As long as the Five Blessings Alliance is eliminated and the Iron-Blooded Banner Gate is eliminated, the northwest region can be completely unified!
The remaining second- and third-rate forces are nothing more than a ragtag group of people and should not be feared.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Gucheng nodded: "Okay, let's start with the Five Blessings Alliance."
…
at the same time.
People from Tianzong, Tianzun and Sun Moon Sect also received news from Jin Yiwei.
They were all wanted by the Qing army. During this period of time, they were hiding everywhere, and they were already holding back a fire in their hearts.
Now that the Qing army has retreated, and with Yuhuatian's instructions, they immediately started to take action, turning all their fire on the martial arts forces who participated in the reinforcement of the Golden Palace last time.
In just a few days, a bloody storm once again broke out in the Qing Dynasty.
One after another, the martial arts forces were wiped out.
There are piles of corpses and rivers of blood!
For a time, countless forces were working hard and panicking, fearing that it would be their turn next.
Lessons from the past are scary!
Although there are rumors everywhere in the world now, behind the forces of Jianzong, Tianzong, Tianzun and Sun Moon God Sect are people from the Ming Dynasty.
But what they are doing now is obviously that the Ming Dynasty is preparing to take action against the Qing Dynasty.
But even if they knew, there was nothing they could do.
The imperial court was restrained by the rebel armies from various places and was unable to intervene in Jianghu affairs.
As for the top forces in the world, they all suffered heavy casualties after the last battle in the Golden Palace, and it was now difficult for them to even protect themselves.
They can only maintain their own power and dare not intervene in these battles, lest they become the next target of being exterminated.
But Yuhuatian's goal is to unify the Qing Dynasty.
When the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?
At this time, it's not like they can stay out of the fight without interfering in the fight...
…
Northern Qing Dynasty.
As the sun set, a group of figures wearing the costumes of the Sun and Moon God Sect were slowly marching forward in a mountain forest.
Dongfang Bubai, who is dressed in a bright red dress and has a slender figure, is sitting on the sedan chair in the middle, holding the enchanting Xue Qianxun in his arms. He takes a sip of wine from time to time, with two touches of blush on his beautiful cheeks. He is really charming. Species, all kinds of charming.
"Leader, ahead is the boundary of Sunset Ranch!" A spy from the Sun Moon God Sect came to report.
"Oh, very good!"
Dongfang Bubai sat up straight, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, waved his sleeves and said: "Go at full speed and get to Sunset Ranch before dark!"
In the last battle at the Golden Palace, Dongfang Bubai was attacked by Situ Xiao, the owner of the Sunset Ranch, and slapped her in the face while fighting against the masters of the major sects. Although the injury was not serious, this incident has always made her worried.
So after receiving Yuhuatian's order, she first eliminated several nearby forces, and then decisively led her people northward, heading straight to Sunset Ranch, one of the Five Blessings Alliance, to avenge her last attack.
Xue Qianxun nestled in Dongfang Incorruptible, her red lips slightly opened, and reminded: "Leader, this Sunset Ranch has been passed down in the north for many years, and its strength may not be as simple as it appears. Leader must be careful."
Dongfang Bubai had a domineering look on his face and said disdainfully: "If the Five Blessings Alliance gathers together, I might still be afraid. A mere Sunset Ranch can be destroyed with a backhand. What should I be afraid of?!"
Xue Qianxun stopped talking. She looked up at Dongfang Bubai's exquisite and domineering face, with deep obsession and admiration in her eyes.
But when she thought about the possibility that something might happen in the future, a trace of sadness flashed through her eyes...
Dongfang Bubai didn't pay attention to Xue Qianxun's eyes. She sat cross-legged and began to exercise, adjusting her condition to the best and preparing for the next battle.
Night gradually fell.
Soon, more than 200 masters from the Sun Moon God Sect arrived at Sunset Ranch.
Looking from afar, on the vast prairie, groups of cattle and sheep graze leisurely.
On the edge of the prairie, there is a group of buildings, among which figures can be seen flickering.
Dongfang Bubai's figure flashed, flew up into the air, and headed straight for the building complex.
"Situ Xiao, get out and die!"
Before anyone arrived, a cold and domineering voice echoed throughout Sunset Ranch.
The people at Sunset Ranch were immediately shocked.
"Oops, there are enemies!"
"If you dare to insult the venue owner, kill her!"
A group of masters from the Sun Ranch also rose into the sky and headed east to kill Bubai.
Dongfang Bubai snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and sent out hundreds of fine needles. In an instant, the sky was filled with screams, and dozens of masters at Sunset Ranch were instantly killed and fell to the ground.
At this time, Situ Xiao, the owner of Sunset Ranch, also heard the commotion and rushed out. When he saw Dongfang Bubai and the densely packed Sun Moon God Sect disciples outside, he was also shocked, and he immediately understood Dongfang Bubai's intention.
"Your Excellency, I did not intend to fight in the last battle. I was forced to take action due to the order of the alliance. Now that the Golden Palace has been destroyed, the matter has been settled. I would like to apologize for hurting you last time. Please also ask your Excellency. Let's stop." Situ said loudly with a smile.
He wanted to settle the previous grudge with Dongfang Bubai.
Because in the last battle at Golden Palace Mountain, he had already experienced Dongfang Bubai's strength. He alone could never be Dongfang Bubai's opponent.
