Chapter 278 First Battle! (ask for everything!)

Yumen Pass.

A caravan of camels transporting jade is slowly moving forward.

Among the caravans were merchants from the Western Regions and Han Chinese from the Central Plains.

There are also travelers who are returning to their hometowns after being away for decades.

Two Angzang big men each sat on a camel and followed the caravan.

They were weather-beaten, their skin was tanned, and their sheepskin furs looked old and worn out.

On the camels behind them, there were a few charming women.

Even in a dry and barren place like the desert, even in the face of the scorching sun, they still protect their skin and appearance very well.

It's not like these two men who don't care about their appearance at all.

"I'm back."

The man on the left looked at Yumen Pass not far away, feeling a little excited.

After leaving his homeland for decades, he is finally coming back.

The man on the right chuckled and said, "When I left, I was still a young commander. Now I'm afraid I'm going to become a middle commander, an old commander."

The size of the man on the left replied, "As long as it's not a cricket."

As the two talked, the distance to Yumen Pass became closer and closer.

But when they saw the flag planted on the top of Yumen Pass, they frowned.

"week?"

"How could it be Zhou?"

Both of them had the same question in their hearts.

Shouldn't the flag erected on Yumen Pass be "Tang"?

Could it be that in the decades since they left, great changes have taken place in the Central Plains, and the dynasty has changed again?
Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help showing a look of worry on their faces.

The few women who followed them also discovered the problem of the flag change.

One of the beautiful women asked the man on the right, "Zi Ling, what's going on?"

"I don't know yet, let's go to the city and have a look."

This man called Ziling, whose full name is Xu Ziling, was one of the achievements that helped Li Shimin establish the Tang Dynasty.

And the man on the right, needless to say, is none other than the former young marshal Kou Zhong!

The Ssangyong of the Tang Dynasty traveled westward for decades, and now that they are back, they thought they could witness the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and recall the glorious past.

Unexpectedly, the flag erected on the Yumen Pass turned into "Zhou"!
After entering Yumen Pass, they immediately began to search for news.

Soon they learned what had happened in recent years.

The second saint is coming to court.

The queen mother called the system.

Eighteen princes rose up.

The queen mother ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor, and changed Tang to Zhou!
And this change from Tang to Zhou happened less than a month ago.

It has only been half a month since Yumen closed the "Zhou" flag!

"Wu Zhao..."

Xu Ziling murmured in a low voice, and couldn't help but think of the little figure he saw on the street of Chang'an City that winter.

That was Wan Wan's personal disciple, Ming Kong.

"Changing Tang to Zhou, is this how you take over the world?"

Thinking of that unforgettable woman made him feel extremely complicated.

Now decades have passed, and I don't know how Houhou is doing now.

Kou Zhong came to Xu Ziling's side and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Xu Ziling shook his head, and replied, "I didn't think about it, it's just that some memories came to my mind."

As Xu Ziling's best brother, Kou Zhong knew Xu Ziling very well.

He knew that Xu Ziling had a lot of things on his mind right now, so he patted Xu Ziling's shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, let's go to Chang'an first, and then go to God's Capital to meet the Great Zhou Emperor."

Xu Ziling said: "Her name is Wu Zhao, she is also Mingkong, and she is a disciple of Houhou."

Mingkong?

Hearing this name, Kou Zhong also recalled that little girl.

He didn't expect that the current Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was actually that little girl back then, the direct disciple of Houhou.

In this way, isn't this a continuation of the battle between the Yin Sunflower Sect and Cihang Jingzhai?

I don't know what Cihang Jingzhai's reaction is now?
They are far away at the border, and the information they can inquire about is really limited.

"Let Yuzhi and the others go slowly, the two of us will go to Chang'an tomorrow with light packs!"

……

October.

Li Fan, king of Shu, proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, and the news of the restoration of the Tang Dynasty spread throughout the world, shaking the world.

Along with it, there was Dongfang Lan's ingenious plan to help Li Fan capture Chang'an City.

When everyone heard that Wu Chengsi had faked auspiciousness to announce good news to Wu Zhao in order to compete with Wu Sansi for the crown prince, they couldn't help but sneer at the Wu clan.

Wu Zhao had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor a few days ago, yet Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were already thinking about competing for the crown prince.

Is this wishing that Wu Zhao would die quickly?
And the fake auspicious thing is even more ridiculous.

Wu Zhao has created a lot of false auspiciousness in order to build momentum for his ascension to the throne.

Now that Wu Chengsi comes out like this again, he will be exposed. Not only will he be ridiculed, but the auspiciousness that Wu Zhao created before will also be questioned.

This is extremely unfavorable for Wu Zhao who has just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

Even if Wu Chengsi was executed a hundred times, he might not be able to understand the hatred in Wu Zhao's heart.

However, Wu Zhao's reaction to this matter was also very strange.

After learning about the loss of Chang'an City and Li Fan's ascension to the throne, she neither sent troops to attack Chang'an City, nor ordered strict defenses, as if nothing had happened, and was a little strangely calm.

Drunk Xianju.

When Lu Yan heard about this, he couldn't help laughing at Wu Chengsi.

With Wu Zhao's martial arts realm, at least he can live for another few decades.

It is too early for Wu Chengsi to fight for the position of crown prince.

After this operation, not only failed to get the crown prince, but was executed by Wu Zhao.

Wu Sansi obviously didn't do anything, but he got a huge benefit out of nowhere.

I don't know whether Wu Sansi is happy or unhappy at this time?

But right now Lu Yan doesn't care about these things, because he's going to have another lucky draw!
After these few days of storytelling, he has accumulated enough popularity points to conduct a lucky draw.

Although he really wants to save up for a while, and then come a big wave.

But he just couldn't bear it.

"One last time, one more single draw for the last time."

Lu Yan secretly made up his mind to do one last single draw, and then honestly accumulate popularity, waiting for the ten consecutive draws.

[Storytellers have accumulated 1235600 popularity points, which can be used for gold ten consecutive draws, and heaven and man single draws. 】

Lu Yan glanced at the popularity value, and without any hesitation, he chose the Heavenly Human Solo Draw.

With Lu Yan's thought, the popularity value was deducted, and immediately a dazzling platinum box appeared in front of his eyes.

When the platinum box was opened, it was empty.

[Congratulations to the host for gaining the range of ten feet to mobilize the power of heaven and earth! 】

Seeing this reward, Lu Yan couldn't help frowning.

The last time it was a lottery to mobilize the power of heaven and earth within a range of ten feet, this time it is still the same.

This made Lu Yan have to think about a problem.

That is the reward for mobilizing the power of heaven and earth. Is it the lowest reward in the heaven and man prize pool?

Although only two awards were drawn, the sample was relatively small.

But it's unlikely he'll be rewarded well with every draw.

So this is very likely to be the last reward in the Heavenly Man prize pool.

He was really looking forward to what the rewards for Heaven and Man's ten consecutive draws would be.

After thinking about this, Lu Yan tried to mobilize the power of heaven and earth again.

As expected, the range within which he could mobilize the power of heaven and earth came to 45 feet.

And the extra five zhang is naturally the result of his recent hard work.

"Sure enough, the lucky draw is the coolest thing."

Lu Yan sighed.

The lottery is addictive.

……

Zhao Wangfu.

Ever since he threw the golden hammer out of the door that day, Li Yuanba began to practice hard.

He still dances the hammer every day in the martial arts arena.

But he didn't have a hammer in his hand.

What he dances is the hammer in his heart.

When he heard that Li Fan, king of Shu, had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an City, he was very pleased.

Although Li Fan's father, Li Min, was the son of a princess of the Sui Dynasty, Li Fan was a member of their Li family anyway.

As long as there are members of their Li family who can proclaim themselves emperor and raise the banner of rebelling against Wu Zhou, he will support it with both hands.

After learning about this, he planned to leave the capital of God and go to Chang'an.

He wants to personally protect Li Fan and ensure that Li Fan will not be attacked by any forces in the world.

After practicing martial arts in the martial arts field, Li Yuanba decided to wash up and leave the capital.

At this moment, someone came to report that Min'er, the female officer next to Wu Zhao, asked to see her.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanba decided to meet Min'er.

When Li Yuanba saw Min'er, he seemed to see the shadow of Shangguan Wan'er in a trance, and couldn't help asking: "Where is Shangguan Wan'er?"

Min'er saluted and replied: "Master accidentally contracted a cold and passed away a few days ago."

Hearing Min'er's answer, Li Yuanba couldn't help frowning.

The last time he saw Shangguan Wan'er, Shangguan Wan'er was still a beginner.

How could a dignified master of the traveler realm die from the cold?

How could this thing sound so outlandish?
As for Wu Zhao's secret execution of Shangguan Wan'er, Li Yuanba didn't even think about it.

He clearly knew that Shangguan Wan'er had a very high status in Wu Zhao's heart, and that Shangguan Wan'er was also loyal to Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao had no reason to execute Shangguan Wan'er for no reason.

There must be something strange about Shangguan Wan'er's death.

But no matter how Shangguan Wan'er died, it has nothing to do with him, so there is no need to delve into it.

"Wu Zhao asked you to come see me, what's the matter?"

In the past when Wu Zhao was still the queen mother, Li Yuanba could still maintain his superficial respect for Wu Zhao and call her the empress dowager.

But now Wu Zhao has usurped the throne and changed Tang to Zhou, and that day in front of the South City Gate has completely torn his face.

Naturally, there was no need for him to continue to maintain a superficial peace with Wu Zhao.

Min'er heard the words and replied: "Your Majesty would like to invite King Zhao into the palace to meet you."

When Li Yuanba heard Min'er's answer, he pondered for a while, and said, "Go back and tell Wu Zhao that I will go to the appointment on time."

After Min'er left, Li Yuanba went back to his room to take a bath and change clothes.

However, he is not going to have a banquet in Ziwei City, but is preparing to leave!

Because he knew clearly that Wu Zhao would not entertain him for no reason.

So this banquet must not be a good one.

Better not go!
After changing clothes, Li Yuanba lifted a floor tile on the floor of his room, and there was a secret passage under the floor tile.

He got into the secret passage, and it didn't take long before he came to another house from the secret passage.

He left from the back door of the house and went straight to the west gate.

The road was unimpeded, and soon Li Yuanba came to the gate of the west city.

He directly performed lightness kung fu and swept across the city wall, and no one found his trace.

After leaving Shendu and falling outside, Li Yuanba couldn't help but look back at Dudu.

When he comes back next time, it will be the time when his Li family will really rise again!
With this in mind, Li Yuanba quickly walked towards the west.

With his foot strength, if he travels at full speed, he will be able to reach Chang'an at dawn.

It's just that Li Yuanba stopped westward after a short while.

A huge and luxurious golden sedan chair stopped on the road, blocking Li Yuanba's way.

When Li Yuanba stopped, a white and delicate hand slowly opened the curtain made of jade, and Wu Zhao, who was wearing a golden and gorgeous long dress, stepped out of it.

When Li Yuanba saw Wu Zhao appear, his face gradually became a little serious.

Wu Zhao looked at Li Yuanba and said indifferently, "Last time, Lu Yan protected you, so I let you go."

"This time outside of the capital of God, no one can protect you anymore."

Li Yuanba asked: "You already knew that this king would leave?"

Wu Zhao replied, "Isn't it because of Li Xian and Li Dan that you stayed in Shendu?"

"Now that you hear that Li Fan ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, you will definitely go to Chang'an to protect him."

"I asked Min'er to see you and invite you into the palace, just to make you suspicious and force you to leave as soon as possible."

As the son of Tang Gaozu and the third younger brother of Tang Taizong, Li Yuanba was the God of War in the Tang Dynasty when he fought in all directions in the past.

Later, when the Tang Dynasty was established, Li Yuanba did not care about world affairs on the surface, but in fact he had been silently guarding the Li family and the Tang Dynasty.

When the priests in the palace came to serve one after another or died in the hands of Wu Zhao, Li Yuanba became the only support of the Li family, even the patron saint.

Now that Li Fan is restoring the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an, Li Yuanba will naturally leave for Chang'an to personally guard the brand-new banner of the Li family.

It was precisely because of this that Wu Zhao was waiting here for Li Yuanba's arrival.

Li Yuanba took a deep look at Wu Zhao and said, "I did need to rely on Lu Yan to survive last time, but now, you may not be my opponent."

Because Lu Yan wanted to maintain the order of the gods, he didn't do anything to Wu Zhao after he became a celestial being.

Originally, they wanted to wait until they met on the battlefield in the future to decide the outcome with Wu Zhao.

Now it seems that there is no need to wait until that time!

Wu Zhao said calmly: "I can feel that the power of heaven and earth around you is about to move."

"You don't have a hammer in your hand, but the power of heaven and earth is your hammer."

"I have to say, you are really a very talented person."

"You just gave up that pair of golden hammers for half a month, and your control over the power of heaven and earth is already so profound that the range you can mobilize is actually fifteen feet in radius."

Speaking of this, Wu Zhao actually chuckled lightly, and said again: "Is this considered accumulation?"

Hearing Wu Zhao's words, Li Yuanba's expression suddenly changed!
Although it is not a secret that he became a celestial being, he has never revealed to the outside world where the limit of the range he can mobilize the power of heaven and earth is.

How did Wu Zhao know about this?

Wu Zhao looked at Li Yuanba's face, and said lightly, "Are you surprised?"

While speaking, Wu Zhao raised his hand and waved lightly, and a force of heaven and earth swept past Li Yuanba like a streamer.

Although this did not cause any physical harm to Li Yuanba, it had a great impact on Li Yuanba's spiritual world!

Because at this time Li Yuanba was at least ten feet away from Wu Zhao!

Wu Zhao can mobilize the power of heaven and earth behind him at will, which means that Wu Zhao can mobilize the power of heaven and earth within a radius of at least twenty feet!

boom!
Li Yuanba slammed on the ground, and his figure flew towards Wu Zhao like a giant hammer!
The range in which he can mobilize the power of heaven and earth is not as good as Wu Zhao, and he is definitely not Wu Zhao's opponent in long-distance combat.

So he wants to get close to Wu Zhao, and fight Wu Zhao close to hand!
boom!
Li Yuanba slammed into Wu Zhao's body with an extremely fierce and brutal attitude!
Amidst the roar, the golden sedan chair behind Wu Zhao exploded in an instant!

The figures of Li Yuanba and Wu Zhao were superimposed and rushed towards the west.

It didn't stop until it rushed nearly a hundred feet away!
Boom!

The two fell to the ground, the earth trembled, and smoke and dust rose everywhere!

After the smoke cleared a little, the figures of Li Yuanba and Wu Zhao emerged from it.

Li Yuanba and Wu Zhao stood opposite each other on both sides of the deep pit with a radius of tens of feet.

Li Yuanba was fine at this time, but Wu Zhao's golden dress had been completely torn, revealing the black dress inside.

However, judging by Wu Zhao's appearance, it seemed that he hadn't suffered any damage from the previous impact.

Whoosh!
Li Yuanba approached Wu Zhao again.

He clenched his fist with his right hand and swung it towards Wu Zhao brazenly.

This punch was as fast as lightning, fierce and domineering, like a giant hammer weighing a thousand catties, enough to split mountains and ground!
At the same time, the power of heaven and earth around Li Yuanba also gathered into a giant hammer, which fell from the sky and hit Wu Zhao's head with a bang!

Facing Li Yuanba's strong attack, Wu Zhao stood still, wisps of dark devilish energy escaped from Wu Zhao's body.

These wisps of devilish energy entangled in the air, seemingly soft and weak, but they blocked Li Yuanba's iron fist very strangely!
The giant hammer condensed from the power of heaven and earth that fell from the sky was easily split by a wisp of devilish energy!

call!
The power of heaven and earth rushed from all directions, like a desperate flood, completely submerged Wu Zhao!

This is the mighty power of nature, the mighty power of heaven and earth, and it should not be stopped by manpower.

But Wu Zhao's figure is like a rock in the sea, no matter how the wind blows and the waves beat me, I will not move!
"drink!"

Li Yuanba let out a roar that shook all directions, and his lean body seemed to have turned into a wild beast at this moment.

A destructive force erupted from his small body, charging towards Wu Zhao!

This is the technique of charging and killing that he has experienced in thousands of battles on the battlefield.

No matter how tight the military formation is, it will be crushed by such a blow from him!
Today, Wu Zhao is no exception!

 The Return of the Double Dragon, the first real collision between Wu Zhao and Li Yuanba!
  Ask for everything!
