There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 361 The Imperial Court

Go to the capital.

The Wuyang Palace, which is surrounded by golden light, is what the people call the Imperial Palace. The golden light above the palace seems to be deeper these days.

Dahua Hall, the palace where Emperor Yuan Ding usually rests and meditates, has had fully armed armored soldiers since last year. Those good-looking golden armored guards can only patrol the outside.

At the door of the Zen room deep in the palace, a military attache wearing a red unicorn robe of the deputy commander of the guard stood on the left side, staring at everyone who came and went with a pair of cold eyes. A young man wearing a golden robe of a sacrificial captain. Xu squinted his eyes as if he was praying.

"tread"

The sound of footsteps driven by thick military boots came from outside. This man's footsteps were very fast, and the armored soldiers outside did not stop him. The deputy commander of the guard set his eyes on the entrance of the inner hall.

A few breaths later, a middle-aged man wearing a dark black combat uniform of a guard appeared at the door. There was a very inconspicuous golden line on the collar of his uniform, which was the mark of Wanhu.

It's Leng Kezhen.

He is now on duty in front of the emperor.

"grown ups!"

Leng Kezhen bowed to the deputy commander at the door, but ignored the sacrificial captain on the other side.

The deputy commander just nodded, and a thick but tired voice came from the meditation room, "It's Lord Leng, please let him in."

When the two people at the door of the meditation room heard this, they made way like robots.

Leng Kezhen entered the Zen room directly.

The golden light in the Zen room was like substance. Leng Kezhen didn't like it very much, especially the heavy smell of the incense burner, but he had no choice in many things.

Leng Kezhen habitually glanced at the window. The window was open. A young man wearing a python robe was leaning against the wall of the window. That was Princess Xia Yao's husband. During the emperor's retreat, this man's There were so many titles that even Leng Kezhen couldn't remember them, such as cabinet minister, minister of the Ministry of War, commander of the guards, chief host of the sacrificial hall, etc.

"His Majesty said, you don't need to salute, just say what's going on."

The speaker was also wearing a python robe and looked to be no more than thirty years old. Compared with the man at the window, he stood up straighter and looked more imposing.

This is a prince, and the founding prince, who manages the Xia Dynasty clan, and is called Xia Shen.

"The rebels have become a force. They looted all the prefectures and counties south of Pingzhou Road. They have enough food, grass, armor and weapons. The news came back half an hour ago that they had more than 20,000 armored soldiers, and millions more were killed. The slaves they are carrying are sweeping towards the north of Pingzhou Road."

Leng Kezhen reported in a low tone.

Xia Shen frowned slightly when he heard this and turned to look at the emperor who was sitting cross-legged on the futon.

The emperor was wearing a thin white shirt, and a rich golden light surrounded his body. The skin on his face and hands had fine golden lines, which looked like the skin was cracked. It felt as if his body was broken by a touch. Will break.

His Qi machine is connected to the magical array of the entire palace, integrating with the thick golden clouds above the palace.

"What do the cabinet ministers say?"

The emperor's voice was old, and his breath was short as he spoke.

Xia Shen looked at Jiang Cun at the window, and Leng Kezhen also made way. He might have thought that Jiang Cun would come over and reply, but Jiang Cun was leaning against the window and said, "Didn't I just say that?" He spoke this sentence naturally, and then replied:

"We discussed it for a long time, and the final result was that Feng Wei, the governor of Pingzhou Road, was temporarily ordered to gather his troops outside the city to resist the enemy. The Ministry of War will also urgently dispatch 30,000 troops from Qingpu Road to quell the rebellion."

Very safe way.

"Can Feng Wei stop the rebels?" This is what Xia Shen asked. After all, if Feng Wei cannot successfully resist the enemy, the rebels can fight all the way to the outskirts of Shangjing City. If Shangjing City is surrounded by the rebels, even if they can break the siege, the world It must also be shaken. "No, I'll just go for a walk and destroy them easily!" Jiang Cun said casually.

The Zen room suddenly became silent. After a few breaths of silence, the emperor's old voice rang out, "If only the chess game in this world could be that simple. If you use the monks of the Third Realm rashly, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos in an instant!"

The emperor sighed and made a decision: "Send a forbidden army to station south of Nonghe!"

Leng Kezhen raised her eyelids and glanced at the emperor. He actually had something to say just now, which was that although the local soldiers were well-equipped, their training level was not much different from that of the rebels.

"The question is who will command this forbidden army?" Xia Shen asked.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army cannot be compared with before, at least they still insist on training every day. This allows them to understand how to fight after they go out. But the problem is that the Forbidden Army is a group of nobles. If the commander does not choose well, it will be a real disaster. .

There was another silence in the Zen room, and then Emperor Yuanding opened his eyes. His eyes were golden, with no eyes visible. As he opened his eyes, the golden cracks around his eye sockets became more dense.

"What an eventful time it has been!"

The emperor looked at Xia Shen and said tiredly: "Go to the mansions of Duke Ding and Duke Zhen in person."

...

Yunjiang Road.

Qingyang Mansion on the top of the mountain has been a little cold in the past half month, because of the rebellion on Pingzhou Road, which caused the merchants traveling from north to south to stop.

The military camp outside Fucheng was originally extremely deserted, but it suddenly became lively in the past half month. The rebellion on Pingzhou Road made the Governor-General feel the danger, and issued an unprecedented order to train troops.

No one took this order seriously at first, but the dozens of bloody heads in the camp reminded the sergeants of each battalion that they were military households. Although the training was finally carried out, dissatisfaction was also accumulating.

Twenty miles away from this camp, there is another military camp, which is the demon camp under the jurisdiction of the Demon Suppression Division. Since they were stationed here, the camp has closed its doors, and supplies can only be delivered during a few hours in the morning. Baggage comes in and out.

The camp seemed deserted, but the Chinese army was bustling with activity. Hundreds of demon generals wearing captain uniforms were sitting around more than a dozen bonfires, on which squeaky and oily lamb legs were roasting.

Inside the Chinese army camp.

Sitting in the coach's position is a bull demon with a black bull's head. He is Niu Zhen, the coach of this camp.

"General, the Xia family dynasty has come to an end. Now the only army available on Yunjiang Road and Pingzhou Road is the general. As long as you nod, I, the Yang family, are willing to assist the general in achieving hegemony!"

The speaker was an old human man sitting in the position below the coach, Yang Kui, the former Minister of Rites!

Niu Zhen smiled and invited Yang Kui with a wine glass, and said in a buzzing voice: "Master Yang, please use the wine."

Yang Kui frowned slightly, then drank the wine in the glass as instructed, and then heard a tiger demon on the opposite side ask: "All the elites in Binguan are here, Master Yang, are you asking us to die?"

"The defenders of Binguan don't have to worry!" Yang Kui smiled mysteriously, as if he was sure of taking Binguan!

"Oh?" The tiger demon glanced at Niu Zhen, who was still drinking in the coach's position, then met Yang Kui's eyes and asked, "I'd like to hear the details."

"When the imperial court faced the rebels on Pingzhou Road, the first thing they thought of must be the imperial army on Qingpu Road. But I am sure that the imperial army on Qingpu Road will be defeated. By then, the rebels can go all the way north. By then, the imperial court will definitely Send a forbidden army south to defend the enemy, and at the same time, just in case, I will order the general and the Binguan garrison to go north to encircle the rebels!"

Yang Kui talked eloquently, "When the Binguan defenders go out, they will definitely hold a large-scale sacrificial ceremony. Our chance lies in the sacrificial ceremony..."
