Chapter 358 Rebuilding the Universe

"Fuck, it's getting worse every day."

Cheng Sanwu was lying on the ground, gasping for air and shouting curses constantly. However, he was weak and obviously very weak.

Sun Lingyin, who was also weak and weak, raised her head with difficulty and asked: "What on earth did you do..."

"What to do?" Cheng Sanwu laughed self-deprecatingly: "Your skills are completely dependent on Taotie. If I let it go, I'm afraid that one day your belly will get bigger and a little Taotie will be born. .”

Sun Lingyin's pupils trembled, but she calmed down for a moment and also laughed at herself: "Yes, for no reason, how could he help me."

"As long as you understand." Cheng Sanwu said: "In the past, I would have taken away your skill as soon as I raised my hand. Unfortunately, I have no choice now. I can only force you to go all out, so that I can easily take back the Taotie." Evil power. As for your Xuan Gong cultivation... it's gone if it's gone. With your qualifications, it's not too difficult to cultivate it from scratch."

"You...won't kill me?" Sun Lingyin was surprised.

"Your life and death have nothing to do with me." Cheng Sanwu sighed softly: "As for the revenge of the Cheng family and his daughter, they were avenged that night more than ten years ago."

Sun Lingyin's breath was short: "Aren't you worried that if I succeed in my cultivation in the future, I will come to you for revenge?"

Cheng Sanwu smiled heartily: "Okay, if you can find me, I will give you another chance."

Sun Lingyin's heart moved slightly. Cheng Sanwu's words and deeds did not seem to be hypocritical, and it seemed that his skills were far inferior to before. He might have suffered a drastic change and had no long-term future.

"Is the pig paste rice delicious?" Cheng Sanwu suddenly asked.

"It's not delicious." Sun Lingyin didn't hide it: "It's salty and greasy, and it burns my throat."

"How picky." Cheng Sanwu stood up and said, "If you don't like me doing a bad job, then you should make something delicious."

Sun Lingyin was still about to speak, when suddenly a loud noise came from the south, and the ground shook slightly.

"Oh? It made a lot of noise." Cheng Sanwu stood up and patted the dust. The sword wound on his chest had healed.

Sun Lingyin stood up with difficulty and watched Cheng Sanwu heading south without saying a word. The clouds in the sky dispersed, and a few rays of light fell on the ground.

……

Chang Qing watched the explosion in the distance. One of the city walls collapsed, raising huge smoke and dust, shocking both armies inside and outside Luoyang.

"charge!"

Qi Jingyang raised his iron spear high and his war horse kicked and neighed. With the sound of the horn, he took the lead and led hundreds of fine cavalry to charge towards the gap in the city wall.

Due to the sudden collapse of the city wall, the rebels defending the city panicked and had no time to fire arrows to stop them. Their formation to resist the cavalry charge had not yet been set up. As a result, Qi Jingyang was like rolling over, with blood and flesh flying everywhere in his path. The hundred-refined divine spear in his hand dances like a whirlwind, and the angry energy rolls past, making him invincible.

Among the rebels now occupying Luoyang, there are still a group of masters. They are all soldiers and adopted sons who are loyal to Kang Yaluo. They know that they and the imperial court are incompatible with each other and that surrendering to survive is impossible. Therefore, even if the city wall is breached, they still resist to the end.

Among them was a Hu man holding an iron rod, leaping towards Qi Jingyang. The moment the two weapons collided, the huge force spread and instantly caused the surrounding ground to sink. Qi Jingyang's horse could not withstand the impact. All four hooves were broken and it fell to the ground with a neighing sound.

Qi Jingyang was hit and flew back, but the moment he landed and stood still, the thick Gang Qi exploded under his feet, turning up dust and turning the soil. He rushed out again. The iron gun in his hand rubbed against the air, scraping out a layer of fire, which showed how fast he was.

The Hu man was not an easy person. With a roar, his body suddenly expanded, bursting through his armor, and his plump body glowed with the color of gold and iron. He relied on his inhuman physique to take a shot.

Qi Jingyang saw that the tip of the spear could only penetrate an inch and was unable to injure the enemy's roots. He immediately changed his tactics and stabbed the opponent's vital points one after another. For a moment, the shadow of the spear was like a forest, as if there were thousands of troops with spears and stabbings!
The barbarian took hundreds of blows at once, sparks bursting out from his body. Although he did not suffer serious damage, he was still confused and confused. He immediately shouted loudly and swept the iron rod with the force of a landslide, trying to smash the enemy in front of him. .

Seeing the iron rod coming with a huge force, Qi Jingyang should have dodged, but he felt that the breakthrough moment was right in front of him, and he could not retreat at the slightest moment. He immediately used his Yuan Gong, and the iron gun in his hand ignited fiercely, like a flag. , stabbing the barbarian in the throat.

The fierce fire that hit his face made Hu Sheng feel a little afraid. He instinctively felt that his horizontal golden body could not withstand the blow. The fight that was originally about to be destroyed by both enemies suddenly became necessary to attack the enemy. save.

The Hu man immediately stepped aside and defended himself with his stick. Unexpectedly, the outcome was already clear. Qi Jingyang shot out a spear. The light from the tip of the spear turned into a blazing light, which directly penetrated the Hu man's golden body and pushed him out dozens of times. Ten feet away, the wall was broken along the way, and the entire inner square was cut through!

Stepping into the innate realm, Qi Jingyang looked up to the sky and roared. The sound shook for miles and was heard both inside and outside Luoyang City. Seeing this situation, the Xia army's officers and soldiers were naturally morale boosted.

"Commanders, attack!" Qi Jingyang jumped up to a high place, his spear swaying in his hand, the fire blazing like a flying flag, the Xia army's elite cavalry was invincible, and the rebels retreated step by step.

"It seems Qi Qing has seized this rare opportunity."

Outside Luoyang City, Chang Qing stood on a high platform and looked at the battle situation. When he saw Qi Jingyang defeating the enemy with a single gun, he couldn't help but nod.

After the counterattack strategy was formulated, the progress was unexpectedly smooth. The two towns of Heshuo and Taihang passed through Jingxing east and cut off the rebels' territory in Hebei. When some prefectures and counties saw the imperial army coming, they raised flags in response and even killed them. The officials who defected to the rebels opened the city gates to welcome the king's troops, and in many places it was almost a matter of announcement.

While the two towns of Heshuo gradually squeezed the rebels into several places in Youzhou, Changqing also ordered an attack on Luoyang City.

Different from the previously envisioned storming, the difficulty of siege has been reduced a lot due to the recent unexpected help.

"Taoist Master Qingxu, I didn't expect the power of your gunpowder to be so amazing." Changqing walked down from the high platform to watch the battle and spoke to a shrinking Taoist: "If we had been willing to surrender to the imperial court earlier, the battle of Tongguan might have prevented a large number of casualties among our soldiers."

As soon as these words came out, Qing Xuzi was so frightened that he fell to his knees. In the battle of Tongguan, the rebels were defeated miserably. Many craftsmen and servants who accompanied the army had no time to escape and had to surrender on the spot. Qing Xuzi was one of them. After being captured by the imperial soldiers, Qing Xuzi was identified as the leader of the rebels who made gunpowder. It is said that such rebellious people should be responsible for warning the world. However, Chang Qing had seen the power of gunpowder and personally asked Qing Xuzi to come up with the formula and assist the court in making gunpowder, thus absolving the crime.

The attack on Luoyang City this time was not to fill iron-cased stone bullets with gunpowder for bombardment, but to explore the weak points of Luoyang City Wall through Guoseyuan Qunfang, then secretly dig tunnels, bury gunpowder under the city wall and detonate it. This caused the wall made of rammed earth to collapse due to its own weight, thus creating a huge gap, and there was no need to waste the lives of soldiers trying to climb the city with ants.

In order to ensure that Luoyang City could be captured in one fell swoop, Qi Jingyang even acted as the vanguard. He had already lost a large number of elite rebels at Tongguan. As the city wall collapsed, the morale of the army was unsustainable, and some people began to flee from other directions with their belongings.

"That's all, it's because the imperial court's selection and appointment system was insufficient in the past. You don't have to worry, just do things with your heart." Chang Qing waved Qing Xuzi to retreat, already thinking about how to reform the imperial examination and official selection in the future.

After a rebellion, a large number of old dignitaries and high-ranking families were affected. Many new policies that had been hindered in the past and could not be implemented now have the opportunity to be implemented.

The fighting in Luoyang City continued until night. The main force of the rebels retreated into Ziwei Palace and relied on the palace wall to defend. However, innate masters like Qi Jingyang and Ren Fengxing took action, tearing apart the rebel defense like a tornado, and the imperial army filed in, showing no mercy to the remaining enemies.

By the early morning of the next day, the city of Luoyang had been largely calmed down. All that was left was to search for remnant and defeated generals and to send out light cavalry to pursue the fleeing rebels.

Due to what the rebels had done in the past, it could be said that the people were devastated, so few people would choose to harbor them, making the suppression very smooth.

In order to calm the people's hearts, Changqing repeatedly asked the soldiers not to rob the people after entering the city. Those who committed adultery and murder must be executed, and the generals in charge should also be punished. They posted prepared notices in various places, and at the same time distributed the food, cloth and silk collected by the rebels to the people who had suffered from hunger and cold for a long time.

A series of arrangements made the people of Luoyang praise the Emperor of Great Xia, and it was even spread in the market that His Majesty was the reincarnation of an immortal and came to save the suffering people.

When Changqing learned about this, he just shook his head and smiled. Now that Luoyang is back, he is busy with everything and has no time to care about such trivial matters.

The weather is getting cooler and it's almost winter solstice. Changqing has been staying in Luoyang for the past six months. The Central Plains rebels have been eliminated, but the town of Youzhou is still holding on, and even attracted the Khitan, Xi people, and Bohai coalition forces to join the invaders, causing a stalemate for half a year.

However, due to the stability of the Central Plains, the recovery of most of Hebei, and unimpeded water transportation, grain, grass, and silk from the Jianghuai River could be continuously transferred northward to support the army's battles on the front line. Therefore, although the rebels still occupied several cities, the outcome was clear.

After fighting the most difficult battles, there was no need for Changqing Yujia to personally fight. What he had to do now was to take this opportunity to improve the New Deal, rectify and arrange personnel inside and outside the court.

To be precise, these things started when Taiji Palace was shrouded in the shady barrier, and Lu Yan started planning, but because of the rebellion in Youzhou Jiezhen, he had to put it on hold temporarily.

Although Lu Yan has passed away, his legacy is rich. After Daxia experienced this rebellion that affected almost half of the country, the population in the Tuji area was extremely severely reduced, but it was still able to recover quickly. It must be said that it was closely related to Lu Yan's past implementation of the New Deal.

Changqing had personally participated in it before, but now he is quite comfortable handling many things. Only then did he realize that what he had learned and encountered in the past was all preparation for ascending to the throne of God and making a difference today.

Although Lu Yan never made it clear to him, Chang Qing already understood that he might have always been looking forward to ascending to the throne of God. I just don’t know if I can satisfy him now.
"Your Majesty, Fu Nu Shi is back." Changqing was reviewing the memorial when a eunuch came to report.

"Oh? Let her come quickly." After taking the throne for a long time, even if Changqing doesn't care, there are still rules and regulations inside and outside the palace. Even if he has always allowed Afu to come and go at will, one-stop communication is still indispensable.

After so many changes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs suffered heavy losses, and Changqing himself did not like the treacherous behavior, so he issued an edict for rectification. The Ministry of Internal Affairs returned to its original responsibilities for the internal affairs of the palace and was not allowed to interfere in the political affairs of the foreign court.

As for Gongchenwei, it withered away due to casualties and injuries, so it naturally existed in form and in reality.

Ren Fengxing was worshiped as General Zuo Qianniuwei for his meritorious service and was granted the title of Duke of the State. Since Afu is a woman, Changqing was still thinking about how to add a title, but was rejected by the other party, so she had to temporarily bear the title of female history to facilitate her access to the palace.

"I brought Liu Niang and her family to Luoyang, and they are in the harem right now." Afu said with a smile: "There are a few guys who are well-informed and are preparing a ceremony guard directly at the gate of the city. They are almost going to enter the city in vain."

Changqing looked helpless, pressed her pen and stood up: "I plan to canonize Liu Niang as queen, what do you think?"

As a result, Afu just shrugged: "That's your business, what do you ask me for?"

Changqing smiled bitterly when he heard this, and was about to go to the harem to visit Liu Niang. Suddenly there was a rumble of thunder in the sky, and the water in the cup on the table rippled.

The two of them sensed a strong surge of Qi at the same time. Although they were far apart, they were still shocked. If it were at a close distance, its power would probably be greater than Changqing's triggering thunder tribulation to kill Kang Yaluo!
"North!" Changqing is very sensitive to Qi movement, and his face is full of surprise: "The sky, the sky is going to split."

Afu changed color after hearing this and immediately said: "I'll go find out the situation first!"

Needless to say, the two of them had a tacit understanding of the sudden changes. Changqing was preparing to recruit people in Luoyang, while Afu rushed to the north in a flash.

Just after leaving Luoyang, after crossing Mang Mountain and before crossing the Yellow River, I could see a bright light rushing straight up from the other side of the river, reaching very high in the sky. With the creation of the world, it seemed to tear the sky apart. open.

Afu flew to the north of the Yellow River and arrived at Heyang County. Looking from mid-air, she saw a dragon-shaped ravine in the plain, which was where the light was shining. Fortunately, there were only a few people living in the nearby countryside, so it was not affected.

Hurrying down, Afu came to the "dragon head" of the ravine, and saw three figures. Chiyang and Anquti were separated on the left and right, and a tall and majestic man with his back to him, with a full aura of yin and yang, It is like the pillar of the divine center that stands tall in the sky and on the earth, and is immeasurable.

"Cheng Sanwu?" Afu had already expected this day, but she still couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Cheng Sanwu turned around slowly, his face only full of indifference and aloofness, his eyes completely devoid of traces of the past, just like the sun and moon shining on the earth, unaffiliated and selfless.

"What are you going to do?" Afu felt like she was asking knowingly.

Cheng Sanwu glanced at her, then raised his eyes to the south, and when he opened his mouth, the voices of thousands of people echoed together: "The world is filthy, we should restart the prehistoric era and rebuild the world!"
