That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 773

This young Taoist is none other than Bai Yunzi, the third personal disciple of Daoist Master.At the same time, he is also one of the two people in this defense.

There is no need to go into too much detail about Bai Yunzi's name. He is in charge of the Tianshi Mansion, compiling Taoist scriptures, and presiding over the affairs of the Yuqing Palace on behalf of his master. He looks young, but he is actually about the same age as the current emperor.If he can win this debate, it will be a great contribution, almost one foot has already passed the threshold of the head teacher. Of course, if he loses, he will be a great sinner in the Taoist sect. Completely missed.

The world-renowned Dazheng said in a loud voice: "The Taoist sect is visiting, please see His Majesty the Emperor."

The warships that had already received His Majesty's will were separated layer by layer, and the Bailonglou ship was placed within the range of Jundao.

At the same time, a lone boat also quietly left Jundao in the rain and fog. There were only a few people on board. The leader was Yu Kuang, the left commander of the rear army.

As the left commander of the rear army, what Yu Kuang has to do is not to escort His Majesty. Zhang Baisui, Zhao Qing and others are enough here. What he has to do is to return to his flagship and command the entire navy. Just in case.

The imperial court's five imperial guards, the central army stationed in Zhili Prefecture, Yanzhou, Qizhou and other places, defending the imperial capital; the left army stationed in the northwest, defending the grassland; the right army stationed in the northeast, taking precautions and building later; The former army stationed in the south of the Yangtze River was not the remnants of the former dynasty or Lu Qian's remaining party, but the state of Wei across the sea, so the navy was the most important thing.

Wei State's navy is based on the old Yangbofu Navy Division, and has been expanded several times on the basis of it. If it is a landing operation, it must not be the opponent of Daqi. It is inevitable that they will not be able to catch up, so the defense of the rear army will focus on the battle in the inner lake. If Wei Guo's navy dares to enter the river, Yu Kuang is confident that the latter's navy will never return by relying on the defenses on both sides of the river.

But before facing the Wei State water army, the sharp sword of the rear army had to walk on the sharpening stone.

On the surface of the lake more than ten miles away from Jundao, there are densely packed naval warships. This flat boat stopped beside a huge building boat in the middle. The sword stands on the bow of the ship.

Yu Kuang looked around for a week, and saw that the rear army navy was magnificent. Although it has only been less than two years, it has changed a lot compared to when it was in Chen Qiong's hands. As long as he is given some more time, he is confident that the rear army navy will be built to the fullest. It is comparable to the navy of King Wei.

It's just that time doesn't allow it.

Yu Kuang looked towards the direction of Jundao through the vast rain curtain, with a heavy expression on his face.

……

The Bailonglou ship is five stories high, and the master teacher is located on the fifth floor. On the fifth floor at this time, besides the master teacher, there is Chen Ye, the black-clothed master teacher. Looking at the entire Taoist sect, there is only Chen Ye has the qualification to sit opposite the real head teacher.

Qiu Ye glanced at the rain scene outside the window, then looked at Chen Ye and said: "What the younger generation of the Xiao family wants to do, I can't say that everyone knows it, but smart people can see it, but I don't know where he came from. Confidence."

Chen Ye said slowly: "Xiao Xuan is Xiao Yu's son after all, and he is the same person in his bones. Back then, Xiao Yu was a person who liked to take risks. It is no surprise that Xiao Xuan inherited this."

Qiu Ye said softly: "The emperor knows that I want to kill him, and I also know that the emperor wants to kill me. The so-called picture is poor, and now this rolled up map is coming to an end. Both sides know that the end of the map is used by the assassin. dagger, but no one is willing to pierce this layer of window paper."

Chen Ye looked at Qiu Ye's face, full of thoughts in her heart.

His Majesty the Emperor and Zhenren Zhangjiao had one move each. The real Zhangjiao invited the Emperor to come to Jiangdu, and His Majesty the Emperor's move moved the location from Jiangdu to Jundao on Dongting, which is [-] miles away.The two of them knew each other's plan, and then both entered the game separately, and there must be a backup player among them, but they don't know who is the stronger backup player.

Qiu Ye suddenly asked: "Chen Ye, do you think it's faster to stab with a dagger, or faster to draw a sword?"

Chen Ye was slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "It's not a dagger, it's a sword."

Anyone who has read some history books knows that before Zulong's first emperor ruled the world, Yan State once entrusted a sword fairy to assassinate Zulong. In the map scroll, the intention is to assassinate Zulong when he presents the map, so there is an allusion to the picture, but the result is not very good. The sword fairy originally wanted to hijack Zulong and return it to Yan. However, he was noticed by Zulong, who missed a single blow, and was blocked by the people in the palace. Finally, Zulong drew his sword backhand and severed his left leg.The sword fairy who was in a desperate situation was desperate to fly his sword, but he failed and died under the sword of Zulong.

That's why Chen Ye said it wasn't a dagger, but a sword.

Then he continued: "Comparing the two, the short sword is naturally faster, but the long sword can strike backward."

"Preemptive strike and late strike, which one is better?" Daoist Master Zhang looked at Chen Ye, "If you were in Xiao Xuan's position, how would you choose?"

After thinking carefully for a moment, Chen Ye replied: "If you can't control others first, you will reveal your flaws, and instead make yourself controlled by others. If I were Xiao Xuan, I would choose to strike later."

Qiu Ye said with a smile: "Actually, there is not much difference between the two. Putting aside those cloudy words, to put it bluntly, it is to see who is more powerful. The technique is mysterious."

Chen Ye said with a slightly worried look: "The old head teacher used the power of an immortal to attack Shangguan Xianchen before his ascension, causing Shangguan Xianchen's whole body to flow backwards. When Xiao Yu made the attack that day, he was also an immortal who had already proved himself. How's the brother in charge's injury?"

Qiu Ye shook her head and said: "If you are facing Xiao Yu, you will naturally have no chance of winning, but against the previous Xiao Xuan, it will not be a serious problem."

……

After the Bailonglou ship docked at Jundao, another more ordinary building boat came.

The people on this building boat are no longer Taoist priests who are immortal, but people from the far west who are regarded by ordinary people as demons and evil spirits. All of them are blond and blue-eyed, and their clothes are white, which makes ordinary people fearful when they see them.

Li Fenggu stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the indistinct Jun Island, and said to the knight leader beside him: "This is the other courtyard of the emperor, occupying the entire island, and we will land from here soon. , to have an audience with His Majesty the Emperor and the real person in charge of the Taoist sect."

The leader of the knights tightly held the hilt of the sword at his waist, and said slowly: "Your Highness, as the second Pope of the Holy Church, even the king of a country cannot disrespect you. How can you treat the pagan emperor and The sect leader saluted?"

Li Fenggu smiled softly: "There is an old saying in the East called adapting measures to local conditions, using different methods in different places. This is not our world, but someone else's world. Here, we are guests, and the guests do as they please."

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Besides, as long as you can spread the gospel and glory of the church, mere honor and disgrace are nothing."
