Chapter 313 Prelude to the Battle
On the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, it rained lightly.
Spring is not yet half over, the days and nights are calm, and the apricot flowers are in full bloom.
A tree of snow-white flowers bloomed from the red apricot tree outside the window, and a broken petal fell on the ground. A slight drizzle fell, leaving a few drops of water.
The King of Western Qin was lying on the bed. He was already very weak, his cheeks were much thinner, and none of the concubines around him were around. He had to be served by a few clever maids sent by the Guo family. But obviously the prince didn't accept it. He hadn't eaten or drank for several days, and he just looked at the top of the bed in a daze.
A maid named Xinghua walked out of the hall carrying a plate of cool fine liquid food. She looked at the apricot blossom tree outside the window. Suddenly her eyes flickered. She looked past a group of praying monks and people outside and looked at the mansion diagonally opposite. In the corner of the pavilion, he nodded slightly.
A graceful figure stood there, and then disappeared in a flash.
Dugu Hongzhi fell in the yard of Honglu Pavilion, his steps were light, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and soon he arrived at the fish pond in the backyard.
Li Shangshu and Hu Jingwei are fishing again.
At this time, Hu Jingwei hung earthworms on the fishhook, threw out the fishing line, and said, "Are you not dead yet?"
Dugu Hongzhi picked up an apricot flower, sniffed it, and said: "The aura of death is getting stronger and stronger, and I will report it carefully. I am afraid it will only be in these few days."
Li Junsang sighed: " He is alive. He has been waiting for him for more than half a month. The rewards and money and food from the court arrived yesterday!"
Hu Jingwei thought for a while and said: "His Baiheqiu a few days ago! His wife has returned to Baiheqiu, and all the concubines around her have left. What does he want to do?"
Dugu Hongzhi thought for a moment: "It will be difficult to move reinforcements. The elders outside the city analyzed that the four factions of Kunlun Palace are here. There is a small chance of being moved, but once Jiang Yuqing dies of illness, the situation in Western Qin will become clear instantly. The four major sects are not fools, so why bother playing with a dead person? "
That’s right! Jiang Yuqing's death has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Hu Jingwei said: "There is also news from the imperial court that Jiang Yuqing's confession of loyalty has been fermented. In addition, the Jiang family has deliberately built momentum. The government and the public have already believed that Jiang Yuqing is a loyal minister. For a prince king with an elite army of 500,000, the imperial court is really Unable to take action easily, the Dianqian army and the Shence army were in a dilemma. They were eating horses and chewing horses every day, and they were consuming a lot of food, grass and baggage.
In addition, the old venerable Jiang family and the six small slaves who had just broken through. Your Majesty and some puppets are about to arrive. What do you think about this? "
Lijun Sang smiled and said: "It's actually easy to sort out the situation! Jiang Yuqing is about to die, and Xi Qin needs your Majesty. In order to stabilize the situation, the third master Jiang Hu, who had just recovered from a serious illness, also wanted to take charge of the army again.
This was the main reason why the Jiang family's masters from the capital came and Jiang Hu took people out to inspect the city defense.
Jiang Yuqing is planning for his death and wants to struggle to stabilize Western Qin.”
"The Jiang family is pitiful!"
Hu Jingwei shook his head, "If you think about it carefully, compared to Jiang Yuqing, Jiang Hu is really a child. He is full of the craftsmanship of a noble family. He doesn't know how to adapt, so he can easily finish the job. Abuse. After Jiang Yuqing dies, no one of Jiang Hu will be left, and the situation in Western Qin will be easy to resolve!"
Dugu Hongzhi was noncommittal! Nodding: "We don't want to wait any longer outside the city. In five or six days, the elders and masters of the three families are going to kill Jiang Yuqing! First, create trouble and make the people in the city panic. The army outside the city will leave the defense. We should cooperate with the outside of the city. , wait until the West Qin County Prince's Palace is empty, take the opportunity to kill him, and the emperor's mission will be completed!"
...
Lingyun Mountain.
More than 3,700 miles away from Xingling Prefecture, there are palaces on the top of white cloud-capped mountains, with glazed tiles and arched eaves. In the center, a huge spear statue stands straight into the sky, exuding a heart-stopping majesty and fierceness.
This is the Millennium Lingyun Palace, the mountain gate of a major sect in the Western Regions.
The disciples all wore green and white robes and erect silver crowns. They were all handsome men and women with tall and straight postures.
In the main hall, the Lingxiao Battle Pavilion, dozens of well-dressed and imposing elders were sitting cross-legged in two rows.
The host was a middle-aged man with a strong physique and a look on his face. He pinched his chin and looked thoughtful. In the middle of the main hall, Mr. Taixun stood tall and tall, wearing a Confucian white gown, with beautiful bear paws and green bamboo, looking confident but not timid.
“The statement made by the Prince of West Qin... is a bit ridiculous.”
The master of the palace, Ling Xuzi, stroked his beard and smiled calmly, “What kind of luck? What kind of difficulties? Are there any? What does my outer sect have to do with his earthly court and princes?"
"Haha..."
The elders in the palace couldn't help but laugh at each other with ridicule.
Xiong Zhang and Sai Qingzhu frowned slightly, but Tai Xun Gong looked calm and calm, and talked eloquently: "The master of the palace is a martial arts master in a famous town. Lingyun Palace is also a major sect in the Western Region for thousands of years. It has a profound foundation and many wise men. , why are you so pretentious?
Is there any, you all know it best, not to mention the sincerity of the county king. I believe you have also heard of the name Jiang Yuqing, the king of Western Qin, what kind of person is my county king? He is so decisive in killing, so wise and powerful, and so true to his words, he dares to compete with the world? "
He paused: "Not to mention the 300,000-strong army that committed suicide in the ancient battlefield of Lingyunfeng within one year, and with The disciples of your sect are trying to cultivate their martial arts skills. Who in the world can do this? Can the Emperor of Zhou be capable of this?
Now that we have the right place and the right people, does Lingyun Palace have any choice?”
< br>Ling Xuzi and the elders' smiles faded and they fell into silence.
Frankly speaking, the speculations and ideas of the Western Qin Commandery King completely hit the Lingyun Palace's weakness, but they were still hesitating, just like the court experts had vaguely guessed the situation of the four sects, but felt that it was impossible to cooperate with Jiang Yuqing. .
After all, when it comes to things in the world, one plus one does not equal two. If one thing is wrong, the thing will not get done. Sometimes you don’t even bother to think about it.
Lingyun Palace really didn’t expect that that little kid, Prince Xi Qin, would be so direct in his methods and make such quick decisions. How dare he do this!
It’s like, you have taken a fancy to a woman on the street, and you just felt a little sexual in your heart. I wish I could have sex with her, but she ran over on her own and said to you: Please have sex with me. !
This is so surprising and unexpected.
Ling Xuzi flicked his sleeves: "Can that little kid Jiang Yuqing really defeat the Zhou army and outplay the emperor and the ministers of Zhou?"
Tai Xun Gong smiled slightly: "What do you think?"
No more guessing! That kid completely wiped out the millions of coalition forces of the Thirteen Kingdoms in the Western Region, which has broken the record in the history of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. With today's incident, the image of a resourceful and powerful character has become very clear.
This boy is a courageous, capable person who can do great things!
What's more, the prosperous age of martial arts is approaching. If Lingyun Palace does not want to lose its luck at this critical moment and be crushed into powder in the future, luck cannot be thrown away, and the conditions of the Western Qin County King must also be met. Take hold.
Ling Xuzi admitted that Lingyun Palace had been touched by this boy, the King of Western Qin!
After hesitating again and again, Ling Xuzi felt that he should speak loudly, shook his head and said: "Not enough, the conditions offered by the King of Western Qin are not enough!"
"Not enough to count the ball!"
Tai Xun Gong flicked his right hand, and a glazed document flew up on its own. On it were the seals of the masters of Kunlun Palace, Dry Sword Tomb and Traveler Valley. He said coldly: "I am from the Western Qin Dynasty. Such sincerity is not enough, which is a joke. To be honest, the three major sects have conspired with the Western Qin Dynasty. In fact, one more Lingyun Palace is not a lot, and one less Lingyun Palace is a lot. The palace master will decide for himself!"
Take the bear's paw and Sai Qingzhu, turn around and leave.
The faces of all the elders in the hall kept changing.
Ling Xuzi also flashed his eyes and waved: "Master, wait a minute!"
