Chapter 63: Taiping Decree
The edge of Washington.
A high mountain seemed to be split in the middle, forming the shape of a horse's mouth, and a tributary of the Luo River meandered through the bottom of the valley.
At this moment, on the top of each of the towering mountains on both sides, there was a person standing opposite each other from a distance.
One of them was wearing heavy armor, with only a pair of eyes visible through the gap in the visor.
The other one stood tall, with long black hair like a waterfall, wearing a light purple skirt, and looking up at the sky.
The former is Ge Wanshan, the captain of the Zhanghua Mansion’s Qianhu Division.
The latter is the leader of the Taiping Dao, Hua Nong Yue.
The two have been confronting each other for a month.
For a whole month, Ge Wanshan didn't dare to close his eyes.
As for Hua Nong Yue, she eats and drinks as she pleases, and watches the stars as she pleases.
He even went to the water at the bottom of the valley to take a bath several times under the protection of a magic soldier... and he had to stand guard by the river, like a fucking servant.
Ge Wanshan was very depressed and tired. He wanted to lie down and take a nap, but he really didn't dare.
He was just a small captain, while Hua Nong Yue was the person in charge of Taiping Dao in the entire Yongzhou Province.
Although in the files, he is also at the tenth level of Tongmai, but the problem is... the files of the rebels will only be updated after they have taken clear action .
No one has seen Hua Nong Yue take action for many years, so who knows what level he is at now.
If it weren't for the heavy armor bestowed by his superiors, he would rather resign and return home...if approved.
'Why haven't the imperial reinforcements arrived yet? I really want to sleep!'
Ge Wanshan complained weakly.
At this time, Hua Nongyue lowered her head and looked over, her red lips slightly parted: "Ge Wanshan, I'll ask you again, are you willing to join me?"
"Sister Flower, Flower Fairy, Flower Goddess... Can you please stop talking about this, please?"
Ge Wanshan smiled bitterly and said, "You should know the power of the imperial court better than me. It would be better for me to die than to let me join the Taiping Dao."
There was no one around, so he didn't need to be too cautious about what he said. He just had to maintain the correct stance at all times.
In fact, over the past month, Hua Nong Yue had tried to recruit him many times, and each time it was when he was distracted.
Ge Wanshan guessed that Hua Nong Yue must have some treasure that could record photos or sounds, and if he made a mistake, he would be forced to give way.
At that time, it will be wrong to give way, and it will be wrong not to give way .
The intention is really malicious.
"Hehe, I'm only asking you to join my army, but I'm not asking you to rebel against the court."
Hua Nong Yue smiled coldly, "Besides, haven't you been connected with Wei Wuxie for a long time?"
"Can you use some other words?"
Ge Wanshan was exhausted and said in a depressed tone, "Wei Wuxie, the Thousand-Faced Taoist, is a wanted man by our Blood Robe Guards. The reward is too high to pay. Don't even think about connecting with him. If I can find him, I will definitely capture him for the reward."
Hua Nongyue was about to say something else, but Ge Wanshan suddenly raised his hand and said, "Stop, stop, stop! I know what you want to say about unblocking."
"Please, I have a title and am a real noble. I am only fifty-three years old, still very young, with plenty of opportunities to climb up. I can't use your Taiping Dao tricks at all, okay?"
"If you want to get past me, you have to defeat me with your absolute strength. There is really no other way."
This rush of responses really choked Hua Nong Yue.
But her eyes flickered for a moment, and she immediately had a new idea: "I can tell you how to join the royal family. I think you should be interested in this, right?"
“…”
Ge Wanshan felt terrified and his mouth was dry.
Join the Royal Family?
Is there any other way to deal with this situation besides reincarnation?
...Could it be, could it be that it really exists?
It must be said that his curiosity was really aroused, and it was extremely strong.
But he didn't dare to show it at all.
It would be over if someone found out!
'What?!'
"You actually tried to find out the secrets of the royal family from the rebels?"
"Let's go to the Imperial Prison."
Imperial Prison...
This vicious woman! She is determined to harm me!
When he thought of the legendary imperial prison, even he, a captain of the Blood Robe Guard, couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
Ge Wanshan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he knew very little about Hua Nong Yue and couldn't say anything back.
At this moment, a star suddenly lit up in the far sky.
As soon as this star lit up, it dragged out a long tail and approached this place straightly, arriving in a moment.
The two of them changed their expressions and recognized him at the same time.
"The Taiping Decree!!! Why would they use the Taiping Decree?!"
Ge Wanshan was horrified.
The Taiping Edict is a special item for the Taiping Taoist Master, similar to the imperial edict of the court.
Although the Taoist Taiping is definitely not comparable to Emperor Qing, Hua Nongyue is just a hall master. Above him are the helmsman, elders, and guardians. How can he be qualified to be directly ordered by the Taoist Taiping? !
While they were still in shock, Hua Nong Yue had already knelt on one knee, crossed her palms in front of her chest, and shouted, "Welcome, Taoist Master!"
The star fell to the edge of the cliff and transformed in mid-air into a man wearing a grass crown and shrouded in misty white light.
"Water ghost urgently reported that Wei Wuxie lost contact after killing Fu Yuanlong and the Taoist servant. It is very likely that he has found the fragments of Changshengtian. You must return to the Yongzhou branch hall immediately and take full charge of this matter. No matter what, you must find Wei Wuxie and bring him back to the main sect."
The voice of the Taoist master of Taiping Dao was smooth and steady, speaking word for word.
"……yes."
Hua Nong Yue responded blankly.
Her thoughts were completely confused in these few short sentences.
Wei Wuxie...found the fragment of Changshengtian?
How can it be?!
The water ghost had been searched for more than ten years and couldn’t be found, but Wei Wuxie found it as soon as he went there?
Just like Hua Nong Yue, Ge Wanshan on another hill was also in the same chaos.
Ge Wanshan didn't care about Fu Yuanlong being killed.
A small character, so he dies.
What he cares about is Wei Wuxie!
Hua Nong Yue was right. Ge Wanshan and Wei Wuxie had always maintained secret contact and had concluded many deals over the years, so they could be considered old partners.
As soon as the imperial decree came down regarding the blockade of Zhanghua Prefecture, Wei Wuxie came to him and asked him to help reduce the number of Blood Robe Guards sent to Canglong as much as possible.
The reward is extremely generous - information about all members of the Taiping Dao in Zhanghua Prefecture!
Including the water ghost who assassinated the Lord of the Mansion four years ago!
Ge Wanshan agreed to the deal with Wei Wuxie without much hesitation.
He needs this list so badly!
With this list, he can clean up the entire Zhanghua Prefecture!
Especially that water ghost.
If he could be captured alive, the merit from the imperial court alone would be enough to move him up a notch, not to mention the even greater bounty offered by the family behind that good-for-nothing Lord.
Therefore, Ge Wanshan rejected all requests for help from Fu Yuanlong.
Apart from the personnel, war horses, and regular supplies that were supposed to be equipped to the centurions, no elixirs, treasures, or magic weapons were given.
The reason is simple.
The pressure in the capital is even greater and we need to be called upon at any time.
Therefore, Fu Yuanlong had no choice but to pay out of his own pocket to arm the team of a hundred people.
But this has nothing to do with Ge Wanshan. He has already done what he promised to Wei Wuxie.
In his plan, as soon as reinforcements from both sides arrived and the people currently involved in the confrontation left, he would go to Wei Wuxie to ask for his reward.
Yes, he didn’t think that Wei Wuxie could find the fragments of Changshengtian.
Even Wei Wuxie himself didn't think so.
But what did the Taiping Dao Master just say?
Wei Wuxie found the fragment of Changshengtian? ! ! !
And...he also killed Fu Yuanlong and his Taoist servant, and escaped?
Ge Wanshan's eyes went dark.
He knew that things were getting serious.
