Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 708 Forcing the Palace
Shangguan Chengyuan glanced at him: "Xu Daoyou, have you said that! The monks on the front line fought bloody battles, fought life and death with monsters, even though they were defeated, they did their best, and if they suffered a small defeat, they would be punished, and everyone would be frightened to resist. Demon's determination."

The man surnamed Xu said: "The way to march and use soldiers is to reward for meritorious deeds and punish for mistakes. If the rewards and punishments are not clear, orders will not work. This battle has lost hundreds of thousands of elites from the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance. We must give them an explanation, otherwise It's not easy for me to explain to my disciples and other sects."

"It is indeed necessary to show something, small punishment and big punishment! It can also be regarded as a warning to other legion commanders."

"Rewards and punishments can unite people's hearts and inspire fighting spirit. If rewards and punishments are unclear and people's hearts are scattered, how can they compete with Mubei demons? Their punishments are much more severe than ours."

"Hundreds of thousands of dead souls can't be revealed in a single sentence. Someone has to come out and take corresponding responsibilities. Otherwise, we can't explain to the disciples below, and it's difficult to mobilize them to join the alliance. When you meet the enemy and flee, the big thing is gone!"

"Xu Daoyou's words are reasonable, I agree."

Everyone expressed their opinions one by one.

Shangguan Chengyuan, Zhu Ruiming, and Ren Boda sat on it with expressionless faces and said nothing.

This was a storm without gunpowder, and the three of them didn't realize it at first, but as the conversation deepened, the princes who ruled the other side finally gradually revealed their minions.

Undoubtedly, before the start of this discussion, they must have contacted and wanted to force Taixuanzong to the palace together. Before that, they were dissatisfied with Taixuanzong's single-handedly monopolizing the power of the Qingzhou Alliance Allied Forces, but because Taixuanzong was strong The strength of the forbearance has not been revealed.

The defeat of the Allied Forces on Cangyun Island and Qiansha Island this time gave them an excuse to put pressure on Taixuanzong.

The so-called accountability of the commanders is directed at Ren Boda, the commander-in-chief of the front line. The purpose is to seize the actual command of the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance Alliance, in order to expand the influence of its sect, or to weaken Taixuanzong in Qingzhou. Influence.

A redistribution of rights came quietly in this hall.

…………

Tangning was lying in the room when there was a knock on the door.

He got up and opened the wooden door, and a man with a fair complexion outside bowed his head and said: "Senior Tang, Senior Hu asked you to gather in the jade room at noon and wait for orders."

"Okay, I see."

"Farewell." After the man said, he left the room and disappeared.

Tang Ning was a little puzzled. The man was referring to Senior Hu as Hu Lian who was in charge of taking care of the wounded from their [-]th Regiment. He didn't know why he suddenly summoned everyone.

Still on standby, what are you waiting for, we can't let them, a group of people without arms and legs, go to the front line again!
He limped out of the room, the light rose, and after a while, he came to the top of the valley, where more than a hundred black stone houses were lined up one after another.

There was light coming and going over the valley, and many people from all directions came here one after another, all of them were disabled people with broken bodies and limbs like him.

Most of the people here are familiar faces and know each other. This valley is the healing center of the third column, and the residents are the wounded monks of the fourth army and the third column.

Tang Ning nodded slightly to the people who came and went, went straight to one of the black stone rooms, opened the door and entered.

There are ten jade beds on display inside, incense burners are lit all around, and the cooking smoke in the room is fragrant.

Other than that, there was nothing else in the whole room, nine of the ten jade beds were vacant, and only the innermost jade bed lay a man wrapped in black forged cloth, which was Fang Yuanliang, who was directly under the third team.

It has been half a year since Tangning came here, and her body has recovered from the injuries. The sunken chest and half of the injured cheek have already recovered as before. Only the left leg and right arm are missing. New flesh and bones are being regenerated, but they haven't fully grown yet. to make.

After recovering from the trauma, he left here and built a wooden house under the valley. He usually recuperates in that room. He returns here every seven days to replace the red crystal medicine applied on his arms and thighs.

If it wasn't for avoiding being pulled back to the front line of the legion, he could have healed his wounds. As long as the green spiritual power in his body circulates around his body a few times, he can regenerate his missing arms and thighs in an instant.

Tangning went to her own jade bed and lay down on it. She felt a wave of heat rise up and penetrate through the pores of her body's limbs, instantly warming her whole body.

This is exactly the effect of the jade bed. This jade bed is made of three-yang warm jade. Once a person touches it, the yang energy will flow into the body continuously, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation and unblocking the veins. It is very helpful for healing injuries. benefit.

Not long after he lay down, a burly, bearded man pushed the door in. He was Han Qian, the direct subordinate of the Seventh Company.

Just like Tangning, his trauma has recovered, but his broken arm has not yet been born.

Han Qian nodded slightly at him, greeted him, and lay down on the jade bed to which he belonged.

Not long after, several other people came one after another. They all opened up a room by themselves around the valley, and they usually practiced Qi in the room, and only came back here when changing the medicine.

After so many years of practice, everyone has more or less a little secret, or practice exercises, or something else, or just a simple habit.

Anyway, the few people who could move in the room didn't want to stay here for a long time. After recovering from their injuries, they left one after another and opened up a room outside.

Everyone gathered in one place, lying on the jade bed and chatting.

"Have you heard? Senior Bai Jintang of our team has been dismissed from the position of captain of the Seventh Regiment." Said the man with a fair complexion, it was Xue Feng who was directly under the second team.

"This is the news from half a month ago, it's out of date. The latest news I got, I heard that he was not only dismissed from his position, but also under control. He will be taken to Donglai County City to accept the investigation of Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance , may even be convicted!"

Tangning was startled when he heard this. He had heard about Bai Jintang's dismissal for a long time. It wasn't just one person. The entire Fourth Army, from top to bottom, was the captain, inspector, and deputy captain of all teams from the regiment commander down. All were dismissed from office.

To be precise, it is the four legions stationed on Cangyun Island and Qiansha Island. All the commanders of the troops who survived will be dismissed.

But it is the first time I heard that it is possible to be investigated and convicted.

If it is said that the team suffered a defeat, it is reasonable to say that the commander was dismissed, but it would be an overkill to be convicted because of this. If so, who would be willing to contribute.

Tangning couldn't believe it, and asked, "Is this news reliable?"

"It should be true. I've also heard that a few days ago, there was a Heavenly Spirit ship that took all the monks who had been dismissed from the Fourth Army to the inland area, saying that they would investigate." Yuan Ye on the right said.

"Investigate? What is the investigation? Could it be that the high level of the alliance suspects that among these people there is the secret work of the Mubei demon?"

"Of course it's not a secret investigation. Even if there is a secret investigation, it's only a few people at most. Why take everyone away, besides, have you ever seen a secret investigation with such a big fanfare?"

"why?"

"Why else? It's just that the command is not effective. Of course, someone has to take responsibility for the deaths and injuries of so many monks in our seventh wing. If there is, it is estimated that there must be some responsibility.”

"Then it's impossible to find out what the defeat of the entire legion has to do with them, the regiment leaders, on the heads of Senior White."

"Hundreds of thousands of monks have died. With such a heavy casualty, there must be an explanation both internally and externally! Whether there is any command responsibility is not up to us, but the people above have the final say."

"I guess it's just a formality, and there shouldn't be a real conviction!"

"That's not necessarily the case. I heard that the high-level officials are very angry about this defeat. Maybe they will punish them vigorously, so as to serve as a warning to others."

"Not only our legion, the second, third, and fifth legions, the captains, supervisors, and deputy captains of all teams were taken away."

"I heard that Senior Elder Ren Boda of Emperor Taixuan Zong voluntarily resigned from his position as the commander-in-chief of the front line because of this defeat."

"Someone must be unlucky."

"Taixuanzong can't get rid of the responsibility. All the team captains below the legion are their people, and they are directly responsible."

"These bastards are usually arrogant and arrogant, and they are used to domineering. They are also a group of incompetent people. When they encounter Mubei monsters, they run away faster than rabbits."

"The most irritating thing is that they are always superior to others. They are also wounded. They take the warship and go back to the rear to recuperate. They leave us here and ignore them."

"Zongmen should be tougher and hold them accountable."

Everyone, you said it one by one.

Obviously, everyone has long been dissatisfied with Taixuanzong's usual high-ranking attitude. In addition to this incident, it can be said that there has been a long-standing grievance. As long as Taixuanzong is mentioned, a united front will be formed immediately.

"Fellow daoists, do you know why fellow daoist Hu Lian summoned us here?" Seeing that everyone kept criticizing Emperor Tai Xuanzong, Tangning deliberately changed the subject.

It's not that he has any affection for Taixuanzong, defending Taixuanzong or something, it's just that Bai Jintang has always taken good care of him, and Liu Ruhan also works in Taixuanzong, so he changed the topic when he heard that they talked too much.

"I don't know, I think it has something to do with the alliance's recent actions, maybe it's an investigation to ask if there is any mistake in the team's command!"

"Why do you ask us about this kind of thing! What does command responsibility have to do with us? If you really want to ask, you should ask those in charge."

"It doesn't matter. We are the direct victims. Except for those monks who have died and can no longer speak, who else has more right to speak than us."

While a few people were talking, the stone door of the room turned open, and a tall and broad man with a swallow's jaw and a tiger beard came in. It was the monk Hu Lian who was in charge of taking care of the wounded.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, what is it that called us here to wait for orders? Could it be the Mubei monsters who came here?" One person asked.

Hu Lian said: "Fan Daoyou was joking. No matter how fierce the Mubei monster is, it is impossible to capture Qinghai in such a short time. This time, I have called all Daoist friends here. There is good news that the alliance has decided to resettle you wounded disciples. Inland to recuperate."

"Is it back to the sect?"

"I don't know where to go. Anyway, I'm going to take you back to the inland. Congratulations to fellow Taoists. You can stay at the back without worrying about the invasion of Mubei monsters."

Everyone was happy when they heard this, and they could finally escape from Qing Hai, which was what they had always dreamed of the most.

"Is it true that all the injured monks were taken back to Qingzhou inland to heal their wounds?" Tangning asked. He was different from the others here. So we must ask clearly.

"That's right." Hu Lian nodded: "This is the alliance's resolution. As for how to arrange it specifically, whether to take back their respective sects or gather them in one place, I don't know the details."

"As long as you can leave here and stay away from the Mubei monsters, it doesn't matter whether you return to the sect or not." Yuan Ye said.

"The warship that picks you up may arrive in a few days. I am in charge of notifying you by the order of Senior Sun. Don't wander around in the past few days, and stay here. In case others see you all alive and well, and the news spreads to the ears of the higher-ups If the influence is not good, maybe you will be sent back to the front line again."

Everyone nodded and said hello, Hu Lian turned and left the room.

"Finally able to leave this ghost place, it's finally over."

"Don't be too happy, maybe you will be sent to the front line after you recuperate from your injuries."

"Probably not! All the team commanders of the Fourth Army were brought back to Qingzhou for investigation and questioning. It has been made clear that the high-level leaders are no longer planning to use the Fourth Army as the main force on the front line, and they will no longer supply personnel."

"It's hard to tell. In case the front-line legion suffered heavy casualties and needed supplies, wouldn't they still be selected from the rear personnel?"

"That's why I said, it's safe to return to the sect, otherwise you may be called to the front line to fight against the Mubei demon at any time."

Everyone discussed in one word.

A few days passed by in a flash. On this day, the sun was shining brightly and there was no cloud in the sky. A celestial spirit ship galloped forward and landed on the valley.

Tang Ning and the others were lying on the jade bed. The stone door opened, and Hu Lian came in from the outside: "Fellow Taoists, the Heavenly Spirit Boat that will pick you up has arrived, please board the boat!"

The people had been waiting these days already, and they couldn't wait any longer. When they heard this, they left the room one after another in a flash.

There are hundreds of figures standing outside, all of them are "disabled" people who lack arms and legs.

A few rays of light fell from the Tianling boat, and several figures appeared. The man with a Chinese character face at the head said: "You are all brave warriors on the front line, the alliance thinks of your hard work, and specially ordered our department to come and escort you back Dongnai County is recuperating, please board the ship!"

When everyone heard this, they all rose up and came to the deck of the Sky Spirit Ship.

"Please gather fellow daoists from the four legions, three columns and one unit here."

"Please come here with the Fourth Corps, the Three Columns, and the Second Regiment."

"Please come here with the Fourth Army, the Three Columns and the Three Regiments."

...............

Under the command of the monks on the ship, the crowd divided into teams to occupy one side. After a while, several monks came to the crowd to verify their identities one by one.

About half an hour later, the Heavenly Spirit Ship headed for several other hills.

Until the evening, all the wounded of the entire Fourth Army Corps were taken to this Heavenly Spirit ship, and the crowd was bustling and crowded on the deck, about ten thousand people.

The Tianling ship carried the people all the way day and night, sailed out of the island, and traveled for a whole month in the endless Qinghai, finally arrived in the inland of Qingzhou.
