Start Summoning West Factory Flower

Chapter 203 The panic and helplessness of Da Zhou
three days later.

Yunnan Province, Tianhan Mansion.

This city that has suffered several times now looks particularly depressed.

All the people in the city had already moved away, and only the soldiers of the Southern Army remained in the city.

After a big battle, although the southern army defeated Dazhou's 500,000 army, the casualties were also heavy.
In the past few days, Chen Ze did not launch an attack on the territory of Dazhou. Instead, he repaired the city wall and waited for the guards dispatched from various provinces.

However, before the guardian army arrived, the imperial decree from Kyoto came first.

Suspend the attack on Dazhou, rest in place, and wait for follow-up orders.

After Chen Ze received the order, he was full of doubts. At first, Zheng Ming asked him to capture all the territory in the northern part of the Great Zhou Yunshang River. Why did he order to stop the attack now?
"Eunuch, has anything happened in Kyoto?" He asked the little eunuch who delivered the decree.

"Chen Dudu may not know that three days ago, His Majesty beheaded Xin Yuanchen in front of the Meridian Gate. At that time, many experts came to stop His Majesty, but His Majesty was so powerful that the invading enemy not only returned without success, but also There were heavy casualties." The little eunuch said excitedly.

"Although our family didn't see it with our own eyes, it has been spread in the palace for a long time. The old celestial master summoned thunder and killed all the eight great monks in the Chaofo Temple. In the end, two ran away, but Daoyuan Zong Daoming and the old Taoist were captured."

"There are also many masters of the Wuman tribe and the Great Jin Dynasty who were captured by the East Factory and the West Factory."

After hearing this, Chen Ze was stunned.

He even wondered if his ears had heard wrong.

He had heard about the matter of beheading Xin Yuanchen, and he had also considered Zheng Ming's purpose behind it, but he never expected that such a violent scene would appear.

"Is your majesty alright?" he asked hesitantly.

He could understand everything else, but why Zheng Ming was able to suppress the three great masters in succession puzzled him.

But it's about Zheng Ming, so he can't ask too much.

"Your Majesty is very good. Before we came, our family and Mr. Fu went to meet His Majesty. Your Majesty is still so wise and powerful."

Chen Ze nodded slightly, but he was full of thoughts in his heart.

Although it was a bit unbelievable, he had no choice but to believe it when he saw the imperial decree in his hand.

"If the grand master of Daoyuan Sect becomes a prisoner, the subsequent war seems unnecessary."

he thought to himself.

"Chen Dudu, our family still has to go to preach to several priests, so we won't disturb the Dudu." The little eunuch said.

Chen Ze came back to his senses, and said quickly, "I'll go with my father-in-law."

Since then.

The two went to the residence of Wang Shouming and others.

Zheng Ming's intention was only to invite them back to Beijing, and there was no special order.

And after they heard what happened to Wenzhan Xin Yuanchen, they were also full of shock.

"I didn't expect His Majesty's strength to be able to suppress Grand Master, haha, old monk, fortunately you didn't anger Your Majesty last time." Wang Shouming stroked his beard and smiled.

"Amitabha." Compassionately said aloud, but did not speak.

Usually he is a man of few words, let alone involving Zheng Ming, he is even less willing to say more now.

……

Great Zhou Imperial Capital.

In the beautiful royal garden.

Listening to the old eunuch's report, the Empress Dowager Zhou trembled involuntarily, and her bright eyes were full of panic.

First Xu An was captured, then the 500,000 army was defeated, and now even Daoming was captured, which made her feel a wave of despair.

Suddenly, she seemed to lose all her strength, as if even her soul was imprisoned.

She couldn't move, couldn't open her mouth, and couldn't even roll her eyes.

Fear, panic, hesitation and all kinds of desperate emotions hovered in her heart.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager~" the old eunuch noticed her abnormality, and called out quickly.

The calling voice was right next to her ear, and she wanted to reply, but no matter what she did, she couldn't make any sound.

suddenly.

She felt a blackness before her eyes, and her consciousness disappeared in an instant.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother~~" the old eunuch shouted in panic.

"Quickly send the doctor."

Afterwards, the imperial physician hurried over, and after some diagnosis and treatment, the Empress Dowager Zhou woke up leisurely.

She was stunned.

At this moment, she didn't dare to think about the situation that Da Zhou would face in the future.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother!"

Zhou Huang, who was only six years old, knelt in front of her, holding back tears.

Looking at her son, she could only cheer up again.

"Your Majesty doesn't cry, the queen mother is fine."

she reassured.

……

It wasn't just the Empress Dowager Zhou who panicked, but also Dao Yuanzong.

When Daoyuanzong found out that Ming had been captured, he immediately exploded.

In the majestic Zongmen Hall.

Ji Shi, the patriarch of Daoyuan Sect, sat on the main seat with a serious expression on his face.

The elders of Daoyuanzong below lowered their heads.

The entire hall fell into dead silence, and a needle could be heard.

I don't know how long it lasted, Ji Shi said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone, now is not the time to be silent."

"Sovereign, we really have no good plan."

"The strength of Dali is not something we can compete with."

"That's right, even if all of us Daoyuanzong disciples go to Dali, we can't rescue Master Uncle."

All the elders spoke helplessly.

Although they are masters, compared to the powerful Dali Dynasty, they are powerless at all.

"Could it be that I just watched my uncle fall into prison? Even let my uncle be executed like Xin Yuanchen?" Ji Shi said in a low voice.

"Sovereign, why don't we form an alliance with Chaofo Hall to attack Dali." A thin elder suggested.

However, Ji Shi shook his head and said: "No, now the uncle is in their hands, if we form an alliance with Chaofo Temple, Da Li will definitely not let the uncle go."

"This~~"

Everyone didn't know what to do for a while.

Just when they were full of decadence, a disciple suddenly ran outside the door.

"I pay my respects to the suzerain, I pay my respects to all the elders. There is an envoy from Dali at the mountain gate to ask for an audience."

Ji Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Dali's messenger? How many people are here?"

"Back to the suzerain, two people have come, they are Yuhuatian, the governor of Dali West Factory, and Baifeng, the king of birds." The disciple reported.

Ji Shi was silent for a long time, then slowly stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"Elders, follow me to meet Dali envoy."

A moment later, Ji Shi brought a group of Daoyuanzong elders to the mountain gate.

"I heard the name of the Lord Rain Lord earlier, and I admire him very much. When I saw him today, I really have an outstanding demeanor and unparalleled power."

Jishi came to Yuhuatian and said with a smile on his face.

That kind look seemed like Yu Huatian was a friend of their Dao Yuanzong.

Yu Huatian looked at him, his feminine face was full of indifference.

"Sovereign Master Jishi must understand our reason for coming."

He is not in the habit of being polite to others.

The smile on Ji Shi's face paused slightly, and then nodded.

"How does His Majesty Li Huang plan to deal with Uncle Daoming?"

Now that Yuhuatian has already gotten straight to the point, there is no need for him to continue to put on a show.

Yu Huatian looked at him and said, "How your majesty will deal with Daoming depends on the performance of your Daoyuanzong."

When Ji Shi heard the words, his heart moved.

Doesn't this sentence mean that Dali might let Daoming go?

"I also ask Lord Rain to speak clearly."

Yu Huatian said: "Your Majesty wants the territory north of the Yunshang River."

"What!" Ji Shi's face suddenly became gloomy.

To the north of the Yunshangjiang River in the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for the Yunnan Province that has been occupied by Dali, there are still three provinces.

If the entire north of the Yunshang River is ceded to Dali, then the Great Zhou Dynasty would lose one-third of its territory, and all of them are prosperous places. Dynasty Half-Life.

"Impossible!" Ji Shi said.

The corners of Yu Huatian's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "Before, I, Dali, had already defeated your Dazhou's 500,000 army. Now the Great Zhou Dynasty Hall is no longer able to withstand my Dali's soldiers. Even without Daoming, I, Dali, can still attack Yunshangjiang and beyond. Northern Territory."

"Your Majesty Shengren, I can't bear to see thousands of people in the north of the Yunshang River suffering from war, so I gave you Daoyuanzong a chance. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter."

Ji Shi was silent.

Because he knew what Yuhuatian said was the truth.

Of course, he didn't believe that he couldn't bear the suffering of the common people. It was a fact that Dali didn't want to waste time and troops.

"This matter is of great importance. Can you allow me to discuss it later?" He said bitterly.

Selling Da Zhou's interests in exchange for Daoming, this kind of thing is really a dilemma.

The interests of the Great Zhou are the interests of their Dao Yuanzong. Although they will suppress the royal family of the Great Zhou, they are absolutely unwilling to see the interests of the Great Zhou damaged.

Yu Huatian nodded slightly, and said, "I hope Sect Master Jishi won't make us wait too long."

Ji Shi squeezed out a smile and said, "Please Lord Yu to rest in this sect for a while, we only need one hour."

For an hour, Yuhuatian could still wait.

Afterwards, Jishi led Yuhuatian and Baifeng into Daoyuanzong, arranged a guest room for them, and served them with good wine, food and tea.

After arranging them, Ji Shi and a group of elders discussed again in the main hall.

"Sovereign, this may be our only chance." An elder said helplessly.

Dali's willingness to let Daoming go is a blessing among misfortunes, and they have no room for bargaining at all.

"If the land of the three provinces is given to Dali, the resources of our Daoyuan Sect will be reduced by [-]% in the future." Ji Shi said in a deep voice.

The poor and the rich.

The reason why sects like Daoyuanzong and Bailianzong are willing to support the dynasty is for resources.

These resources are not just money, but also include various spiritual herbs, precious ores, etc., the most important of which is the disciple resource.

Daoyuanzong is also different from Bailianzong. Daoyuanzong recruits disciples with aptitude as the most important thing, and only recruits truly outstanding talents, which can be said to be one in a million.

Without a huge population base, how to choose one out of a million?

Losing the land of the three provinces is equivalent to losing many potential disciples.

"Daoyuanzong can reduce resources, but it is absolutely impossible to live without Uncle Daoming."

Ji Shi let out a long sigh, and he also understood this truth.

Zongmen is not a dynasty, strong personal force is their pursuit.

"The royal family~"

"Let me talk to the royal family, I believe they will understand." An elder stood up and said.

Seeing this, Ji Shi could only nod helplessly.

People are knives and I are fish, they can only be slaughtered by Dali.

"I will personally go to Dali to bring Uncle Daoming back."
