Chapter 222: Secret Visit
"teacher!"
evening.
Bao Shizi and Tong Hezi stood in front of Fang Xian and bowed to report: "The celebration is over, and all the guests have safely descended the mountain..."
"Very good... This time when the mountain gate was opened, many people with extraordinary intelligence and luck came, and some of them also became my disciples. Now our immortal way has nine true disciples, thirty-six inner disciples, and seventy-two outer disciples. It is more than enough..."
Fang Xian smiled.
In addition, he also met several little guys with good talents and gave each of them some "opportunities".
I believe that everyone will achieve something in the future.
At this time, I am just planting some seeds as a game.
"Master!"
Another Taoist priest came in and bowed to report: "The government has reported that the King of Jin will lead a large army to suppress the rebellion soon, and he also intends to visit the Taoist temple. What should we do? Please give us your instructions, Taoist Master!"
"What does the human dynasty have to do with us?"
Fang Xian asked back.
No matter what kind of political schemes or means are used, it all comes down to hard power.
And in this world, there is no one else with the strongest hard power except him.
It can be said that he already has the ability to overturn the table.
If that is the case, why should we serve the secular monarchy like the Taoist priest before us?
"good!"
Baoshizi and Tonghezi looked at each other, both feeling proud.
In the past, the Taoists did not have much magical power, and their little incense and special arts were restrained by the dragon energy, so they had to kneel.
If you still kneel at this time, you are born a coward.
"Pass on my decree, close the mountain gate and do not allow outsiders in!"
Fang Xian calmly issued the decree.
"I will obey the law!"
All the Taoists bowed and obeyed the order.
With the protection of immortals, they were not afraid of the imperial power, but they could not help feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.
Bao Shizi, however, remained fearless, knowing that as long as he had the 'Rou Huan Dan' that his master possessed, he would not be afraid of those powerful people not bowing their heads.
At this time, we are just closing the mountain gate, which still leaves some room for both sides.
"After all, the fate of those involved in the royal family's affairs will not be good... It's better to just mind your own business..."
…
Dingzhou border.
The 20,000 troops from the capital were lined up in a mighty procession, a sea of black, with an aura of breathtaking majesty.
The core of the army was hundreds of golden-armored guards, surrounding a man holding a large dragon umbrella, who was none other than the King of Jin.
The King of Jin looked at the army with an intoxicated look on his face, thinking to himself: "It is true that a real man cannot live without power for a day, and among all powers, military power is the most important!"
This Beijing Camp was formed by drawing elite troops from various places. It was considered the "Imperial Guard" and the capital for the Emperor to maintain his throne. Perhaps it would gradually become corrupt in the future, but at this moment it was still well-equipped and well-fed, with meat provided once every three days.
In ancient times, wars were fought for weapons, money, food, and meat!
A farmer who only eats meat a few times a year does not have enough physical strength, and may not be able to run and fight even if he wears armor.
Not to mention, there was basically no armor.
Such refugee armies numbering tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands were defeated by thousands of elite imperial soldiers, as recorded repeatedly in history books.
"The Beijing army only has 200,000 soldiers. I brought 20,000 of them. They are top-notch soldiers, equal to 40,000 or 50,000 provincial soldiers. We will be able to put down the rebellion in one fell swoop. By then... who else can take the throne of the crown prince but me?"
Prince Jin thought with great pride.
If Wang Shun hadn't had the help of a monster hiding in the mountains, he would have almost regarded as dead.
With just a county, you dare to rebel during the peaceful time of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Are you a madman?
"Of course, it is said that the white ape monster is very powerful, so we still have to rely on the Taoist to take action... It is said that the immortal of Fang Xiandao has refined the "Rou Huan Dan", one pill can make people return to youth?"
Prince Jin felt a little hot in his heart, but also a little awkward.
To be fair, if I could get the elixir that could make me young again and present it to my father, he would definitely be very happy.
However, deep in the heart of King Jin, there was another idea.
If his father really lives forever, then what’s the point of him becoming the crown prince?
There is no family affection in heaven!
While he was struggling, a spy came on horseback and brought the latest news from Dingzhou.
King Jin unfolded it and took a look. His face immediately turned red with anger: "Fang Xiandao closed the mountain? Are you rejecting me?"
The king’s anger is of great significance!
The Prince of Jin was no ordinary man. His cold murderous aura made the guards beside him break out in cold sweats.
At this moment, the secret letter sent by Zhou Zhu also arrived.
King Jin glanced at him, his eyelids twitched, and he suppressed his anger with all his strength, and said with a smile: "Forget it, maybe I am not virtuous enough... I will wait until the rebellion is quelled, and then visit the immortal."
After all, he was not a fool. He did not want to encounter another enemy who seemed to have great powers while attacking the monsters and Wang Shun's gang.
However, after the white ape and the rebellion are suppressed, we will have enough time and energy to deal with the other party.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Several staff members nearby looked at each other and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
…
Zhengyang Prefecture.
With the help of the monster, Wang Shun subdued the fierce mountain bandits in Bailiang Mountain, gathered thousands of troops, and attacked cities and plundered the land, destroying the local area.
Although the city had not been breached at this time, people were still in a state of panic.
Zhou Zhu dressed up as an ordinary peddler. As he walked along, he saw that many farmlands were left uncultivated. He couldn't help but sigh to himself: "Even if this place can be pacified, famine will surely occur..."
He had already seen what was happening in the city, so with his skills and courage, he headed towards Dazheng County.
When passing by a village, I was attracted by the sound of gongs and drums.
From afar, I saw a group of people carrying a statue, seemingly performing some kind of sacrifice.
But the statue was dark and didn't look like a real god. It looked like a rural shrine, which made Zhou Zhu frown.
He stepped forward, stopped a villager, and asked, "Brother, I am a foreign merchant. I brought some goods here and would like to inquire about the local market. Please help me..."
As he said this, he handed over a small can of salt. The villager immediately smiled and said, "Just ask me. I will tell you everything I know!"
"I heard there was war here, why didn't the villagers run away?"
Zhou Zhu asked immediately.
"After all, the soldiers haven't come yet, but the rich man has run away. We have nowhere to go even if we want to..." Old Sun said with a sad face: "Fortunately, I heard that Wang Shun doesn't kill civilians, but only robs the rich, robbing the rich to help the poor, which is considered to be doing justice for the heaven..."
'He has a murderous heart!'
Zhou Zhu commented secretly and sighed: "Me too, if it's not to make money, who would come here to do business? And what is this village doing?"
"Hey... There have been monsters here recently. I heard that a monster wolf appeared in the neighboring county and ate countless people. It was so tragic... Later, I don't know who spread the news that as long as we worship the Black God, there will be no monsters to harass us. Our village is also praying to the god..." Old Sun pouted.
"Black God General?"
Zhou Zhu took another look. As the team got closer, the statue became clearer. It had a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth, like a giant black monkey.
He was stunned for a moment: "Wasn't it the white ape that was causing trouble? How did it turn into a black monkey?"
