Chapter 710 Luodu's Invitation
"Your Majesty..." Jin Jun made an awkward gesture, pretending not to understand Taiyi's hint.
So, Taiyi had no choice but to make his words clear.
"Your Majesty, the Great Dragon God of Sidu can only enter in a grand manner, but now, Yidu is trapped, and the Great Dragon God cannot enter Yidu, so he was entrusted by us to serve as an envoy to the Kingdom of Chu for the time being. Isn't it natural to break the siege of Yidu?" Taoist Xuanxing said in a low voice.
——It is said that it is a request, but in fact, it is just to take the opportunity to threaten Ao Bing and make Ao Bing their envoy. Otherwise, the humanitarian spirit of Jin will block Yidu and not allow When Ao Bing comes in, Ao Bing is not allowed to come to Yidu to attend the appointment with Da Luo.
Xuan Xing believed that in such a situation, as long as there was a reasonable excuse, the Sidu Dragon God would definitely compromise.
After all, although the Sidu Dragon God is an evil god, what he wants to prove is the way of faith, not the way of violence. It is absolutely necessary for him to go to Yidu to keep his appointment. It is impossible to rely on magical power to oppress the kings and ministers of Jin, otherwise, his covenant of faith would be a complete joke.
"This..." Jin Jun pondered.
Although the Chu State has now invaded Yidu, it seems that the Jin State is about to be destroyed - but in fact, as a vassal overlord that has not been completely replaced, the Jin State still has its own heritage.
The Chu army marched straight towards Yidu - in other words, the cities in the other three directions of Jin and the armies in the other three directions were still extremely intact.
As long as the Chu State can retreat a little, let Yidu take a breath, restore the connection between Yidu and other cities of Jin, and get the armies of other cities to support Yidu, then even if the Jin State loses its hegemony, He is still one of the few powerful princes in the world.
On the contrary, if the Chu State is determined to surround Yidu and blockade the inside and outside, then over time, the cities and armies in other directions under the Jin State will either have other ideas, or Either stand on your own, or surrender to other countries.
After all, whether the Jin Dynasty's current hegemony or its rule over the Jin Kingdom, it relies not on the 'loyalty' of the civil and military ministers, but on the transfer of great power. The resulting bundle of interests—these civil and military ministers, those immortal sects, who surround the Jin Dynasty because of their interests, will inevitably leave because of their interests.
——If the Chu State conquers Yidu, then even if the Chu State is a ‘barbarian’, the ancestral temple of the Jin Dynasty can always be preserved.
But if the civil and military ministers and the Immortal Sect within the Jin State rebelled and established themselves, then it would be difficult to preserve the ancestral temple of the Jin Dynasty.
While he was hesitating, the flag of Chu State started to waver violently under the city.
Between the sound of flags and drums, Chu's army suddenly awakened like a silent tiger.
On the city wall, both the kings and ministers of the Jin Kingdom and those immortal Taiyi were all horrified.
“Is it possible that Chu’s army will attack the city now?”
Around the battlefield, those princes and sects who ventured close to watch the battle between Jin and Chu on behalf of each family. The immortal gods who were walking towards Zhan were also shocked.
"Is this how the battle is fought?"
"Is this the time to attack the city?"
Soon, orders from the generals of Chu State came. It still transcended the drums and flags, and the chatter and agitation of Chu soldiers, and fell on the ears of everyone watching the battle.
This is not an order to storm the city.
It is an order for the army to break out of camp!
"The army breaks camp?"
"How could it happen?"
Everyone watching the battle, including those soldiers who had to move under military orders, could not understand the military order to break camp and leave.
Under this military order, even some camps were agitated - after all, the destruction of a dominant vassal state was an unprecedented achievement.
The generals were reluctant to part with such achievements, and the soldiers were also reluctant to part with them.
The King of Chu personally came to the front line - how could he give up on the achievement of destroying Jin?
At this time, some people even doubted whether there was some big problem within the Chu State. Is it even possible that the new king of the Chu State had died violently in the military camp?
Immediately afterwards, another top-down order came out from the King of Chu's carriage, following the generals everywhere, falling level by level, and finally, falling to every soldier. In the ears, it also fell between heaven and earth.
In an instant, everyone knew the reason why King Chu wanted to break camp and leave.
Because the order from the King of Chu was: the army broke out of camp, turned around, and moved towards Luodu.
Luodu!
The place where the king of men is!
Although the Human King's authority was lost a long time ago when Hao Jing was destroyed, the Human King's existence is still extremely noble.
Luodu, where the Human King is located, is still the most central place of the human race - even the princes and overlords who act on behalf of the Human King need to go to Luodu regularly.
Not only are you allying with the princes in Luodu to promote your authority, but you are also showing the dignity of the human king to the heaven and earth. Demonstrating your power as the overlord is a gift from the human king, not a private arrogance. .
——Furthermore, every previous overlord only led a small number of personal guards when they allied with the princes in Luodu to pay homage to the human king.
After the destruction of Haojing, no princes ever led an army into Luodu.
And now, what is the order of King Chu?
The army broke out of camp and marched towards Luoyi.
Thousands of years after the destruction of Haojing, an army of princes once again was about to enter the territory of the human king.
For the soldiers of the Chu State, after hearing this order from the King of Chu, after a brief tremor, there was an unparalleled excitement that spread to every inch of their flesh and blood.
The army marched into Luoyi and offended the king... The people of other princes would definitely be extremely hesitant and even a little afraid in the face of such a thing.
But Chu State... is a barbarian!
Since the founding of the country, the people of Chu have not been very convinced of the human king.
The sanctity of the human king and the nobility of the human king will not only fail to convince the people of Chu State, but will make the soldiers of Chu State even more excited.
"Is this the spirit of an overlord?"
The surrounding gods and gods were silent when they heard the order from King Chu.
——In the past, the achievement of the overlord position was to first defeat the princes, then make alliances with the princes, and finally obtain the 'approval' of the human king.
But now, the King of Chu's approach is completely opposite.
He does not plan to form an alliance with the princes, nor does he plan to join forces with the princes to gain the 'approval' of the human king. Instead, he plans to personally lead the army to Luodu - as for After arriving in Luodu, no one knew whether he wanted the title of overlord or something else.
Similarly, at this moment, all the immortals and gods around Yidu, as well as the princes who had received news about those immortals and gods, also knew about it.
The overlord of this generation has already settled.
The new king of Chu State, with his courage to abandon Yidu and attack Luodu, is at least a new overlord. As for whether he can go further, it depends on how he goes to Luodu. action.
At the same time, after receiving the news, the Human King and the immortal gods under the Human King were filled with endless fear.
...The world is in chaos, and princes seek talents - so, in almost every prince's royal city, there is a school.
However, because of the national power of the vassal states themselves, as well as the determination and charm of the vassal states themselves, the strength of each vassal academy, as well as the school of thought in that academy, are different.
The academy of Jin was called Linxian Academy.
The Da Luo that Ao Bing is looking for, Liu Yuanzi, works as an old housekeeper in Linxian Academy - responsible for cleaning up the places where sages debate in the academy. The debates of wise men absorb the essence of their thoughts, but there is no need to participate in that debate.
“I thought that you and Jin Chu would suffer a lot because of the siege.”
An old man took Ao Bing to sit under the tree and poured Ao Bing a cup of tea.
This is Liu Yuanzi.
To be precise, this is not Liu Yuanzi herself, but just an incarnation of Liu Yuanzi.
Even, it is not even an incarnation. It is more likely that this was just when Liu Yuanzi was walking in Yidu at a certain moment, with a thought, he wrapped his vitality and transformed into a human body.
That is, the old man in front of Ao Bing.
At a glance, this old man is really no different from a mortal.
Even though Ao Bing was sitting across from him, he could only see the old man's vitality that was about to dissipate, but not any trace of his practice.
Even in front of him, Ao Bing found it hard to believe that the person in front of him was actually the incarnation of Da Luo, but a mortal who had some sympathy with Da Luo.
But the mark on the Daluo text that resonates with the old man really shows that the dying old man in front of him is equivalent to Liu Yuanzi.
Naturally, Ao Bing could only think of him as Liu Yuanzi.
"Did you know that just before Chu State broke out, the kings and ministers of the Jin Dynasty had already planned to ask you to be an envoy to Chu State."
Ao Bing took the tea from Liu Yuanzi and drank it slowly. , the tea is bitter and rough.
"What Jin does is Jin's business, and what I do is mine." Ao Bing put down the tea and spoke slowly.
When he came, it happened to be the most critical moment in the battle between Jin and Chu - so from the beginning, he had considered the possibility of being involved in this war.
This war is a battle for hegemony, and the interests involved in it are simply immeasurable.
Regarding this battle, as long as he is involved in it, no matter which side Ao Bing chooses to stand on, it will be wrong. Likewise, it will be wrong for him to mediate.
——Since the two Taiyi from the Jin Kingdom appeared in front of Ao Bing, Ao Bing realized that there was more than one person in the Jin Kingdom, between heaven and earth, who wanted to Ao Bing was involved in this storm.
So, this is how Ao Bing went to the Chu military camp in his incarnation.
Since many people are planning to use this critical war that is about to end as a tactic, then Ao Bing will simply lead the war elsewhere and not give others a chance to plan. Don't give yourself a chance to 'choose'.
Moreover, it is better for me to mention the theory of Jiuding in front of the King of Chu than for Yun Zhongjun. After all, with my own identity and my 'malice' towards the Ji Zhou royal family, I have gone one step further. It is only natural for him to shake the authority of the human king.
"It's your own business." Liu Yuanzi praised, "I believe you now, you can really complete this journey."
This game belongs to the big Luo people, although Ao Bing made a very good start for this game. Whether it was the Sanqing Saints or several powerful supernatural power users, they had already left their mark on the document. However, between heaven and earth, it was believed that Ao Bing would not be able to escape. There are still many Da Luo who have completed this journey.
Liu Yuanzi is such a big Luo - the reason why he made a contract with Ao Bing early is not because he believes in Ao Bing, but because this Da Luo is There are very few Da Luo in the world who are good at protecting oneself wisely.
Any dispute between heaven and earth, any change in situation, this Daluo will not participate if he can.
Similarly, this Da Luo always goes with the trend and never goes against it.
In this Da Luo's view, Ao Bing's Da Luo ceremony is the general trend between heaven and earth - whether Ao Bing can complete this ceremony is irrelevant, but they, Da Luo, Do you want to leave traces on this ultimatum, but it is already natural, dividing the Daluo people into two different camps.
The former is Daluo who is willing to trust each other - at least, they are willing to make this gesture of trusting each other.
The latter is Da Luo who is not willing to trust each other at all.
It can be said that the two camps of Da Luo are destined to have a war with each other.
Similarly, the outcome of the war between the two camps is also foreseeable.
Therefore, Liu Yuanzi chose to stand in the front camp and put his mark on Ao Bing's ultimatum.
Among the many great people in heaven and earth, Liu Yuanzi is like an outsider. He rarely participates in the changes in heaven and earth, and pays little attention to heaven and earth. Naturally, he also pays little attention to Ao Bing. .
Other than knowing that he was a disciple accepted by the Great Heavenly Lord, he knew nothing else about Ao Bing.
——Even if Ao Bing serves as a messenger to connect Da Luo, in the eyes of Liu Yuanzi, Ao Bing is just a tool chosen by the saint.
But at this time, after seeing Ao Bing's handling of the conflict between Jin and Chu, and after confirming that Ao Bing's guidance of the battle between Jin and Chu was Ao Bing's active and conscious behavior, But he suddenly became quite interested in Ao Bing.
A person who can clearly see the direction of the war between Jin and Chu, who can stand at a higher level and guide the direction of the war - and who is not angry because Jin may be plotting against him, and who can soberly control the situation. Those who keep separate things between themselves and things outside themselves.
Moreover, afterwards, I was able to calmly step into Yidu from the gate of Yidu without being noticed by the kings and ministers of Jin.
Such judgment, such determination, such skill.
How could such a person be described with just three words, ‘lucky man’?
At this moment, when he looked at Ao Bing, he was no longer a lucky man by chance.
Rather, it is a person who is likely to complete this Daluo ritual and become a Taoist friend.
"Fellow Taoist, please." Liu Yuanzi's figure dissipated and turned into a line of ink that fell directly on the document in Ao Bing's hand, filling the empty mark on the document.
At the same time, the mark seemed to have ink dots spattered out. Next to the mark, several other marks appeared one after another.
Obviously, these extra marks are Da Luo, Liu Yuanzi’s friend, who stands on the same side as Liu Yuanzi.
However, after these marks fell, there was another mark. With an extremely tough attitude, it squeezed these marks away and pressed them hard. above a mark.
Surprisingly, it was another Da Luo who also extended an invitation to Ao Bing.
The place where this Da Luo is located is in Luodu.
