Chapter 96
Seeing that Zhao Min was so anxious, Zhou Zhiruo asked, "Sister Min, why are you so anxious? Looking at it now, Dugujing's grandfather Duguren has already approved this marriage. That's too late."

Zhao Min shook his head, "Zhiruo, you don't know, there's news from the grassland that the Ming army has already started to make moves to finish Qingming's marriage with Ning'er and Jing'er, and we're going back to the grassland."

"It's really not easy for you in the grassland all these years. Before, I always thought that you lived in seclusion in the grassland. I didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns."

"Yeah, people can't help themselves in Jianghu, let alone we are not just Jianghu." Zhao Min sighed.

Speaking of this, Zhao Min couldn't help recalling the past in the grassland more than ten years ago.

……

Ten years ago, Uri Grassland.

"Princess Yumin, please have a look at the letter that the little prince has sent across thousands of miles." Early in the morning, the head of the Baihan tribe in the Wuli Grassland handed the letter to Zhao Min despite the heavy snow.

The mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and the Uli Grassland often loses contact with the outside world for several months in a row.

Under such circumstances, if there is still a letter coming, there must be something urgent.

After opening the letter and reading it carefully, Zhao Min was worried.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuji beside Zhao Min said, "Minmin, what happened?"

The concern is palpable.

Hearing Zhang Wuji's question, Zhao Min handed him the letter and said softly:
"Wuji, in troubled times, it's really hard to have a moment of peace.

After the Yuan family moved north and returned to Mongolia, the interests of the local forces on the grasslands and the central forces were in great conflict.Many tribes refused to accept the constraints of the central forces, and they fought against each other and went their own way.After the Battle of Helin, the Ming army could not send troops to the grassland due to the 20-year promise not to violate the grassland, so they colluded with the two tribes of Zaisang and Sait to put pressure on the central government.

With the support of the Ming army, the two tribes of Zaisang and Sette were strong and powerful, and they joined forces with five other tribes in the grassland to form a combined force of [-]. deadly.

Emperor Yuanzhao also wanted to use this to weaken his elder brother's military power, and treated his elder brother as if he was on the verge of leaving him. Now his elder brother is under the enemy's back, with less than [-] soldiers in his hands, and is in danger.There was no other way, so my brother had no choice but to hurry up and send someone over the snow-capped mountains to ask us for help. "

Hearing the news, Zhang Wuji hurriedly said: "Minmin, there is no time to delay, let's leave immediately."

After more than 30 years of getting along, Zhang Wuji has long regarded Zhao Min's family as his own family. How can he ignore his family's difficulties?

……

He Lin, the soldiers approached the city.

Wang Baobao could mobilize [-] soldiers and horses to guard the two city gates.The [-] troops outside the city surrounded He Lin tightly. Wang Baobao ordered the officers and soldiers to water the city walls. The severe cold that had not been seen in many years turned the city walls into ice, and the seven coalition forces were unable to attack the city for a while.

At this time, Wang Baobao felt the breath of death. The supplies in the city were only enough for three days at most. The road to Helin was blocked by the heavy snow for several days, and the reinforcements could not arrive for a short time. uncertainty.

It is not a pity that I die, but hundreds of family members of the Temuer family are in Helin City, and they will definitely be implicated.Wang Baobao had never looked forward to Zhao Min's arrival so much. In the battle with Lin ten years ago, Zhao Min turned the tide and became a legend in the Mongolian grassland. Today, only this younger sister can relieve him of his crisis.

After more than ten days of long-distance attack, Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji finally arrived at Helin.

The cold wind that counted to nine became more and more bitter, and Zhao Min felt the chill standing at the head of Helin City.Zhao Min is well aware of the humiliation that the defeated army will suffer, and the family members will also suffer disaster. This battle can only be won but not defeated.

Seeing Zhao Min trembling, Zhang Wuji held Zhao Min's hand tightly, a stream of heat from Nine Suns Divine Art poured into Zhao Min's body, and immediately the chill disappeared.

Suddenly Zhao Min's eyes were bright and his expression became firm. Wang Baobao hurriedly asked, "Minmin, do you have a good plan?"

Looking at the endless barracks outside the city wall, Zhao Min was silent for a long time, and said: "Six years ago, in the battle with Lin, the thief was captured and the king was captured, and Zhu Laosi was forced to retreat, in exchange for 20 years of peace in the grassland. This time, we will do the same."

"But Minmin," Zhang Wuji asked puzzledly, "I went to the military camp last night to inquire. Zaisang and Seite are afraid that we will repeat our tricks and attack them. And Fan Seng came to protect them, it is estimated that these people in the martial arts were sent by the Ming army. Then imagine that it was almost impossible to catch the thief and the king by surprise."

"Yes, sister," Wang Baobao continued, "Besides, their coalition forces have already reached a consensus that only seven tribal leaders can issue orders together. Only capturing one or two leaders may be counterproductive."

"The current situation is more critical than it was six years ago," Zhao Min said slowly, "The top priority is to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements. At present, brother, you can mobilize less than [-] troops, while the coalition forces have [-] troops. The city is very difficult to defend. Emperor Yuan Zhao's Imperial Forest Army still has [-] people. If the Imperial Forest Army can listen to your dispatch and resist the coalition forces, it will not be a problem. The goal of capturing the king this time is different from six years ago. It is not the coalition forces, but Emperor Zhao. Emperor Zhao advances and retreats with you, and the siege of Helin will be resolved."

After listening to Zhao Min's words, Wang Baobao knew what she was going to do, and said: "But Emperor Zhao's deep palace is heavily guarded, if there is a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Brother, don't worry about me and Wuji." Zhao Min smiled slightly, "Use your Miyagi eyeliner, as long as you bring me and Wuji into Miyagi, you don't have to worry about other things."

For Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min, with Wang Baobao's people as the internal cause, it was easy to enter the inner courtyard of the palace.

On the Golden Luan Hall, Emperor Zhao sat paralyzed where the dragon collapsed.

"Bold thief, dare to enter the palace at night, I will destroy your nine clans."

A moment ago, the four front guards of Emperor Zhao were all subdued by Zhang Wuji. Although Zhao Min's Yitian sword was not out of its sheath, it was still powerful.

"Your Majesty, Cao Min Min Te Moore has a few words to say to you, and I will leave after I finish speaking." Zhao Min said word by word.

"So it's Princess Yumin, why are swords facing each other when I beg to see you?"

"Your Majesty, the Caomin is no longer Princess Shaomin in the past. Not to mention the Princess Yumin now, she is just a commoner. I have a few words to say, and my words are harsh. I hope the Emperor will forgive me." Seeing Zhao Min's firm tone, Zhao Emperor had no choice but to say: "Please tell me." .”

"My elder brother grew up with the emperor and rode horses together on the grassland since childhood. Does he have a deep relationship?" Zhao Min asked.

"Kou Kuo has had a very close relationship with me since childhood."

"My father, King Ruyang, and my elder brother, Prime Minister You, both hold powerful soldiers, so could they be plotting rebellion?" Zhao Min continued to ask.

"Your father and brother are the pillars of the imperial court, but they have no intention of rebelling."

"Although I, Min Minte Moore, am a commoner, am I ashamed of my tribe?" Zhao Minlang said.

"Princess Yumin solved the siege of Helin by herself, and everyone in the Mongolian grassland knows about it."

"Then, why did the emperor stand by and let the thieves persecute me when my brother was in danger?" Zhao Min touched the Yitian long sword in his hand and said, "Zaisang and Seite in the coalition army have been bought by the Ming army. They In the name of Qing Junfang, it is actually chopping off your left and right arms, do you think you, the emperor, will be able to survive after the Qing Dynasty is finished?"

Emperor Zhao's heart sank, he didn't think about it, but Wang Baobao was in power, he always felt that tigers and wolves were with him, and he couldn't sleep or eat at all times.

"Your Majesty, if you feel that my brother holds the military power, which makes you quite scruples, after the retreat, I will advise my brother to withdraw from Helin and set up troops outside the Great Wall. I, Min Min Te Moore, will do what I say and will never break my promise!"

Emperor Zhao was delighted to hear Zhao Min's words. "Okay, I'm not an unreasonable and stupid king. The Temuer family is a loyal family, and they are the pillars of my court. The [-] imperial forest troops under my command will be mobilized by Prime Minister You from today, and I will also march in person to defend against foreign enemies!"

Outside Helin City, blood flowed like a river.

With the support of Emperor Zhao's soldiers and horses, the battle situation quickly turned for the better.

Emperor Zhao personally led the expedition, Wang Baobao strategized, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and the coalition forces retreated outside the city many times.Seeing that Helin could not attack for a long time, the allied forces retreated without fighting because they were afraid of reinforcements.

"It's finally over." Zhao Min murmured as he sat paralyzed in Zhang Wuji's arms.Zhang Wuji held his beloved wife tightly in his arms, not wanting to let go for a long time.

"Minmin, sometimes I always think that you are far more resourceful than me by a hundred times, and the more critical you are, the more calm and courageous you are. If you and I had been hostile back then, I might have died in your hands a hundred times."

"Fool, how could I hurt you? Besides, if it weren't for your kindness, I would have died in the dungeon of Green Willow Villa."

"I can't imagine what would have happened if I hadn't dragged you down from the Green Willow Villa back then. God really favored me, Zhang Wuji, to be able to stay with you forever."

"Yes, Wuji, fortunately you dragged me into the dungeon back then, maybe God also wanted to fulfill your marriage with me."

Although Wang Baobao was reluctant, under Zhao Min's persuasion, he agreed to hand over the military power of the capital, led [-] soldiers and their families to withdraw from the capital, and stationed in the Puyuerhai area of ​​Outer Mongolia.Before leaving, Zhao Min gave Zhou Zhiruo the two carrier pigeons she had given her, and left one to Wang Baobao, so that he could raise them well and contact them in the future.

Over the past few days, the weather has turned warmer, and the snow on the road leading to Uri Grassland has gradually melted.Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji had just returned to the Wuli Grassland.

……

After listening to Zhao Min's narration, everyone knew the hardships and dangers at that time.

If it is really besieged, the consequences will be disastrous.

Now that Wang Baobao is in trouble, Zhao Min is naturally eager to return, not only for his brother, but more for his clansmen.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiruo said: "Then we will set off tomorrow and try to reach Peach Blossom Island as soon as possible."

……

Peach Blossom Island has a long history, as evidenced in Song Qiandao's "Siming Kingdom Chronicles": the Kepu site textual research shows that there were traces of human activities in the Shang Dynasty.In the pre-Qin period, An Qisheng, a hermit, drifted to Peach Blossom Island to collect herbs and practice Taoism, and to open a furnace to make alchemy.Taste drunk ink sprinkled on the mountain rocks, and it becomes a peach pattern, oddly shaped, just like natural, so the stone is called Peach Blossom Stone, the mountain is called Peach Blossom Mountain, and the island is called Peach Blossom Island. Pleasant, quiet environment, beautiful scenery, collection of mountains, sea, sand, rocks, reefs, rocks, caves, flowers, forests, birds, temples, temples, nunneries, astronomical wonders, military relics, historical monuments, cliff carvings, myths and legends In one, the natural landscape and the cultural landscape complement each other and complement each other.

Big Buddha Rock is the symbol of Peach Blossom Island. It not only has a unique natural landscape, but also contains rich martial arts cultural connotations. It was the main activity place of Peach Blossom Island owner Huang Yaoshi.

The "Qingyin Cave" in the middle of the Great Buddha Rock is the first residence of Anqi Sheng in the pre-Qin Dynasty after he drifted to Peach Blossom Island. It is also the grotto where the old urchin Zhou Botong was imprisoned.Anqi Peak is characterized by peaks and stones, temples and caves are the main body, and the three major cultures of dragon, Taoism and Buddhism are the background.

Taohuayu on the east coast of Taohua Island has strange rocks and cliffs. On the Longzhu Beach of Taohuayu, it is shaped like a thumb popping out of the palm. The solitary peak stands tall, cut with knives and axes, and the Cliff Finger Peak on the cliff is a gift from the Taohua Dragon Girl to Taohua Island to protect the sea from the wind. Yu Ruyi is also the place where Huang Yaoshi, the master of Peach Blossom Island, practices martial arts.The sea cliff scenery here is a beautiful place.

The poem praises: "...carving ghosts and axes, scraping and moving the dragon..." "The ink marks are drunk and sprinkled with peach blossoms, and the spots on the stone are as bright as clouds. Lang said that Wuling has a good spring, and he has never come here to spread immortals."

It can be said that the beauty of Peach Blossom Island is beyond anyone's imagination.

……

But 100 years ago, it was deserted.

The Dugu family searched everywhere, looking for a place to clean up first, so they chose this place.

Dugu Jing grew up here.

When Chang Ning came to the island, he felt fresh everywhere.

In addition to practicing martial arts with Dugu Jing every day, he and Dugu Jing travel around the island every day.

The two little girls are together every day and don't want to be separated for a moment.

Sometimes, the two daughters thought that if there were twists and turns in their marriage with Zhang Qingming, they would practice Taoism together, and build a foundation and cultivate immortality with Zhang Lvliu.

However, unlike Zhang Luliu, they have someone they love in their hearts.

It is what the two daughters want to be able to marry Zhang Qingming together.

On the third day after arriving on the island, the two daughters' Jade Heart Sutra combined swords and defeated Duguren, which made his grandfather feel emotional.

After all, Dugu Jing and Chang Ning, one is only 15 years old, and the other is not yet 15 years old.

Being defeated by two little girls did damage the image of a generation of grandmasters.

However, Dugu Ren is not someone who can't afford to lose.

Since they lost, it meant that Dugu Nine Swords still needed to be perfected, especially when two people combined their swords, they discovered that there was no loophole that could be caught by the two people's cooperation.

The essence of Dugu Nine Swords cannot be implemented at all.

Losing is also inevitable.

What made Dugu Ren even more amazed was that his granddaughter left Peach Blossom Island a year ago, and her internal strength was only at the second level, close to the third level. Unexpectedly, she reached the fifth level in just one year.

With the speed at which she is improving now, she will be able to get through the two channels of Ren and Du within two years.

And Duguren was almost 50 years old when he opened up the second vein of Ren and Du.

Dugu Ren is filled with emotion that his granddaughter can reach his 50-year-old achievement at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

For Dugujing's marriage, marrying Zhang Wuji's son, Duguren is very satisfied.

Decades ago, Dugu Ren came from Peach Blossom Island. He wanted to find Zhang Wuji and compete with him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wuji had already lived in seclusion in Mobei, and I couldn't learn his martial arts.

This time, coming to Peach Blossom Island, I must fulfill this wish.
