Chapter 276: Demon Traces (5,000-Character Chapter)
After some red tape, Xiao Shenyue climbed to the highest position in Fengming Hall, overlooking tens of thousands of people below.
This is not the strength of the entire Fengming Hall, but just some core high-level, and elite disciples with potential.
If we want to talk about the strength of the entire Fengming Hall, the total number is definitely over one hundred thousand, which is a very astonishing number.
Before, Chu Yun felt that the Xuanyang sect recruited so many disciples and occupied a vast area, it was simply a moth of the country.
But if Xuanyang Sect is compared with Fengmingtang, it is a big witch.
What's more, Fengming Hall is just a hall below the Kunlun Holy Land, not the entire Kunlun Holy Land. From this, it can be seen that the strength of the Holy Land level is absolutely no small matter.
When the entire Soochow Dynasty is really taken down, the Kunlun Holy Land must also undergo a major cleansing.
This level of power has already posed a great threat to the royal power, and with Chu Yun's character, there is absolutely no such tolerance.
Xiao Shenyue seems to have brought in the role this time, and the effect of the speech was very good, and it seemed to have moved everyone.
However, the work here in Fengmingtang has been completed, and Chu Yun and the others are preparing to return to Jiangbei County.
When Chu Yun and the others left, Xiao Shenyue looked reluctant to part, and everyone looked at Chu Yun with the eyes of a heartbroken man.
It's quite like "Tang Sanzang is a heartless person, you Chu Yun is really heartless!"!
At this time, the chief eunuch Liu Jin sent a letter of information, which lifted Chu Yun's spirit.
"The Soochow Dynasty held a martial arts competition for their second princess? Is this just another fucking joke? The dignified princess was married before, so rash?"
However, seeing the back of this information and explaining the source of this matter, Chu Yun seemed to be able to accept it.
"It looks like a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, but it is actually reserved for those big forces. Disciples of small sects, or casual cultivators in the Jianghu, can't even get entry tickets."
"It's nothing more than a different form of marriage. It's just that I didn't find a suitable marriage partner, so I made such a move. What a fucking talent!"
Quickly rushing back to the palace, Chu Yun directly ordered Cheng Yaojin and others to come over to discuss matters, but because Li Shiqi was still outside lobbying other counties, he couldn't come in time.
Soon, everyone gathered in the Palace of Political Affairs. Chu Yun threw out the information in his hand, and after they read it, he asked:
"Everyone, what do you think of this matter?"
"What do you think of this matter?"
Chu Yun looked calm, as if he already had the answer in his heart, but he was brainstorming and wanted to hear everyone's suggestions. This is a kind of trust and respect for everyone.
After all, such a major event is related to future development, and the participation of cronies in it is very important for the future layout.
Xie Hanyao was the first to speak after deliberation: "I think it is necessary to go, because it is related to the development of the entire Jiangbei, and it is an opportunity, a breakthrough for the Soochow Dynasty."
Hearing this, the rest of the people also seconded the proposal.
"That's right. This is a great opportunity. My master has a great strategy, and his future achievements will be limitless. This matter is a positive signal. We all agree with Xie Hanyao's opinion."
Fortunately, it was his cronies, everyone's thoughts were also Chu Yun's intention, this is really a very good opportunity.
Regardless of the intention of the princess to recruit relatives in the martial arts competition, Chu Yun has a reason to go because all forces will be involved in it. If he does not go, Chu Yun will go with others. Not going is the same as giving the opportunity to others. There is no such reason in the world. People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, not to mention Chu Yun's demeanor of a king.
In fact, Chu Yun knew better than anyone else that it was not the question of winning the princess, but an opportunity to be on a bigger stage.
Perhaps, even if Chu Yun doesn't like this second princess in the end, it doesn't matter if he wins or not. What he wants is to establish his majesty in front of all forces, so that they can see the real King of Jiangbei County, the rise of a frightening king .
This is the most important thing, that is to rectify the name, the demeanor of the king will sweep the entire Soochow Dynasty.
After some discussions, Chu Yun finally decided to attend the conference.
The next day, outside Jiangbei County, the weather was sunny and sunny, and the team was especially powerful.
This time Chu Yun traveled with only Yue Nv, Xiao Long Nv, and Ksitigarbha's few cronies, while Chen Tang personally led the Xuanjia Army as the guards, and Yan Liang was the deputy general. It is extraordinary.
A discerning person can tell at a glance that he is a strong man who is well-trained both internally and externally.
Every soldier is experienced in many battles, each face is cold, and the temples are raised high, which is the embodiment of horizontal kung fu practiced to the extreme.
Such a pair of men and horses, ordinary people would never dare to provoke them, and those bandits and bandits had to hide away and tremble when they saw it.
The men and horses led by Chu Yun were ready to go, and they embarked on the journey of Soochow with an order.
Why here is a journey, not a journey, because Chu Yun has a heart to conquer the Soochow Dynasty.
But just as he was leaving, the figure of an acquaintance fell into Chu Yun's eyes.
In the army, there was a burst of noise soon.
"You are not from our army, who are you?"
"Where did the spy come from, courting death."
Just when that familiar figure collided with the general of the army soldiers and guards.
Chu Yun shouted
: "Don't do it, she's mine."
"Ah, it's the king."
"Everyone, don't move, the king has spoken."
Chu Yun rode a horse and drove slowly towards the place where the dispute occurred.
When the guards at the side saw Chu Yun approaching, they all lowered their heads in unison, as if in front of Chu Yun, their admiration was no different from that of a surging river.
"Don't think I don't know you if you wear men's clothes, I can tell you are a woman at a glance, Bai Lang Bai Lang, what are you trying to do..."
It turned out that the person who wanted to join the army was Bai Lang. She was disguised as a man at the moment, dressed like a soldier. It seemed that she wanted to follow Chu Yun to the Eastern Wu Dynasty.
However, since Chu Yun went out here, he didn't plan to take her with him, so she thought of this way to sneak in and follow Chu Yun secretly.
Whether its purpose is to protect Chu Yun, or to see more of Chu Yun, it's hard to say, or maybe both.
It is sometimes difficult for men to understand women's minds, but sometimes they are too clear.
Chu Yun doesn't know how to guess a woman's mind, and he doesn't need to guess with his kingly demeanor.
"People just want to follow you."
As expected, Chu Yun was a little taken aback by Bai Lang's sudden statement today.
You are a nun who returns home, what happened to her.
"Hey, it's okay, I'm going to do something important this time, and besides, the journey is far away, and there may be some unexpected situation along the way, and it won't be good if you get injured by then."
Originally, Chu Yun didn't intend to take Bai Lang with him this time, so he rejected her righteously.
On the other hand, Bai Lang was not surprised when he heard that she was not allowed to go, he seemed to have expected it.
The corners of Bai Lang's mouth rose slightly, with a secret evil smile: "If you don't let me go, I will ruin your business. My plan is to go to Dongwu quietly by myself after you leave. Dynasty, and...hehe...you get the idea...."
this....
This woman was really used in conspiracy and conspiracy in broad daylight.
Some foolishly said such words.
Of course, Chu Yun would not have the same knowledge as her, and Chu Yun also knew what she was thinking.
Finally, he shook his head helplessly.
"You woman, you understand her when you understand her, and you don't understand her when you don't understand her. Go ahead, but you have to promise me one thing."
"What's the matter? Don't say one thing, I will agree to two things."
two pieces? This white...
"Just pretend to be my bodyguard, don't be ostentatious."
For this enshrinement, whether Chu Yun is cured or not, it is not right, forget it, a complex like a woman, let it go with the flow.
"Oh, so that's the case, okay, okay, it's a trivial matter."
Bai Lang chuckled, made a quick decision, and immediately agreed. In her opinion, this was not a thing at all. Dressing up as a man was originally her hobby.
The troops of Chuyun Brigade headed east all the way, and the road was full of peace.
Occasionally I met some civilians on the official road, and they all kept a respectful distance. Although this group of people was unknown to the common people, they were imposing enough to make them a little scared.
Half a month later...
Chu Yun's men came to Chenjiagou, and when they came to Chenjiagou, they could enter the capital of the Eastern Wu Dynasty within half a month at most.
Of course, this was the reason why Chu Yun was not in a hurry and drove slowly.
If it is speeding up, the time will be shortened a lot.
After all, Chu Yun is not in a hurry now, the scenery along the way is just right, the rivers and mountains are great, admiring them and cultivating their sentiments is also a kind of gain and understanding from this trip.
Perhaps in the near future, such great rivers and mountains will belong to this king who is embarking on a journey.
Looking at the beauty of the sunset, Chu Yun had a bold idea in his heart.
Our journey is the sea of stars.
The sun was setting.
Looking at the mountains not far away.
The grass is deep in the distance, the path is secluded, the fog is like yarn,
In the smoke from the kitchen, there is a family.
"What a poetic and picturesque rural scene!"
Chu Yun smiled and looked at the distance, where the cooking smoke rose.
"Good, good, really good, living in the mountains."
"Tonight, let's eat some fresh mountain flavors."
Chu Yun said in a loud voice, appearing to be approachable.
I traveled all the way, although the army had their own rations, but they were all smoked meat and dry food. Now that I have traveled so far, I have never met anyone. Now that I have met, I will naturally have a few bites of that ration.
The soldiers, especially Chen Tang, salivated happily when they heard that they could enter the village to eat freshly slaughtered live chickens and ducks.
Of course, Chu Yun and the others don't eat for nothing, they will give money, and they will only pay more and not less, usually several times more, if the wine and food are prepared well, there will be a big reward, and they will never treat the people badly common people.
Following Chu Yun's order, the group of people headed towards the village building.
At the beginning, when people entered the village, they still disturbed the people. They all evaded, for fear of offending everyone in Chu Yun.
However, after Chu Yun explained it well, the villagers here became very enthusiastic. They treated them with local chickens and ducks, good wine and good meat, and this team came to Jiangbei County.
In fact, the villagers don't care where you are from. What they care about is the happiness of the family. The military master gives a lot of money, so everyone is naturally happy.
a duck
Originally, it was only sold for a few coppers, but you have to give a few taels of silver. This is the God of Wealth who gives money. In the hearts of Liming people, life is happy, and a lot of money is even happier.
At this moment, every household wishes to slaughter a few more pigs and get a few more sheep.
There are not many families in the small village, and there are less than 20 households if all of them are added. When everyone gathers together, it has a special flavor.
Everyone was happily drinking and chatting, the villagers were simple, and the people on Chu Yun's side also made money with kindness.
What a joy!
This scene of gathering from house to house and rising smoke will only appear during the New Year.
There is no way, in the mountains and fields, the people are poor, they work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and they can't earn a few pennies a year.
Now that Chu Yun came, what he brought to everyone was not only a lot of money, but also an improvement in the quality of life. He thought, who doesn’t want to have more cows to work at home, and who doesn’t want to live in a better house? Well, all of these require a lot of money to do well.
Now, Chu Yun just brings people and horses to have a meal, which can improve the benefits that they have been able to achieve for several years. Everyone's happiness comes from the bottom of their hearts.
"Big brother, the sword on your waist looks so domineering!"
On the side, the children in the village stared at Chu Yun's real martial arts sword intently, and said enviously.
Chu Yun took a sip of hot wine, and replied cheerfully: "Little friend, you have discernment, let me tell you, this sword of mine is not ordinary, but a fairy sword for killing demons."
"Wow........"
Hearing about the Immortal Sword, the child's mouth grew huge and he exclaimed.
"Big brother, can I touch this fairy sword? I've never seen it before. Although my father also has a sword, but he didn't come after he went to the battlefield, but it's not a fairy sword, eh?"
The child couldn't wait to run up to Chu Yun, and looked at Chu Yun with bright eyes, his eyes were full of longing.
For a rural kid like him, let alone a fairy sword, he has never seen a weapon used by ordinary warriors.
Boys, they are finally full of daydreams about the future, especially for martial arts, it is said that it is a fairy sword, who can hold back the strength in their hearts.
Chu Yun smiled cheerfully, he didn't care, it's okay to satisfy this little friend's wish: "Here, let's see if you can pick him up."
"Xiaohu, you are messing around, put it down quickly, and don't mess with the military master's weapon."
At this time, a woman came out from a dilapidated village house. She was wearing coarse linen clothes, her appearance was very ordinary, her hands were callused, her skin was dark, and she had the image of a standard peasant woman.
"My mother is here, don't touch it, don't touch it."
When the children saw their mother coming, they were frightened and hid behind Chu Yun.
The peasant woman looked at Chu Yun apologetically: "Master Jun, I'm really sorry, the naughty and ignorant child offended you, please forgive me, please forgive me."
"It doesn't exist. It's normal for children to dance with guns and clubs." Chu Yun is a person who has experienced it, so he doesn't know the fun of boys.
However, this woman aroused Chu Yun's interest, of course not because of her appearance, but because this woman hadn't come out. It stands to reason that everyone in the village came, but she didn't know why she didn't come out.
"Why don't you send all the chicken, duck and fish at home, and don't do anything to make money."
Chu Yun also asked curiously.
"My family is poor. There are only two hens that lay eggs. I usually grow some farms to make a living. There is no way, so I didn't come."
The peasant woman was honest and confided her bitterness.
"Two laying hens, life is really hard. I will give you some money. I will buy more chickens and ducks to raise in the future, so that children can eat more eggs and grow up well."
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Jun."
Holding the silver taels excitedly, the peasant woman burst into tears, and immediately took her son to kowtow to thank.
Full of wine and food, Chu Yun and his troops did not stay in the village, but camped in the wilderness far away, rested there for the night, and started on their way at dawn tomorrow.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and everyone gradually fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, a sudden noise woke up Chu Yun who was sleeping.
He looked at the place where the sound came from, and it turned out to be the village just now. At this time, the village was surrounded by fire, accompanied by a burst of crying. Although it was far away, Chu Yun could hear it.
"What's the situation? Could it be that bandits ransacked the village?"
Chu Yun didn't slack off in the slightest, and rushed towards the village with his men and horses.
When they came to the intersection of the village, the soldiers were stunned, because there were several corpses lying there.
There were roars from time to time in the village.
"Kill them all, I will kill all the grown-ups, take all the children away, and the Heavenly Demon Lord from outside the Territory will use it freely, hahahaha, kill these ignorant mountain villagers!" An evil laugh lingered in the village.
"You bandits, I will fight with you."
The villagers were making their last resistance, and a strong farmer raised his sickle and swung at the villains who slaughtered the villagers.
"bump....."
The scythe fell on the villain, but there was a sound of close combat, this man was actually invulnerable and unscathed.
"What, who are you, you are not ordinary bandits...you are demons..."
Seeing that the opponent was invulnerable, the strong villager collapsed in fright.
