Legend of the Knight

Chapter 288 The Necessary Price

"What, Huang Xiaoshi has come to the capital?" The emperor asked in surprise after hearing what Chen Chongying said.

"After hearing the news about Luoyang, he left overnight." Chen Chongying reported to the emperor, "It turns out that Huang Xiaoshi brought a group of people from the rivers and lakes, and they have been fighting against the Japanese in Gyeonggi for the past few months."

"Hmph, the courage of a man." The emperor said dissatisfied.

He is obviously a general, but he likes to be aggressive and brave. I look down on this kind of person.

"According to Huang Xiaoshi's estimation, in the past few months, there are hundreds of them, no matter how many people were injured, just counting the number of people who killed Japanese, it is no less than a thousand.

Just now, they sent the corpses of 27 Japanese generals. The slaves are looking for the surrendered Japanese to identify them. Judging from their armor and inner clothing, they are likely to be the leaders of the Japanese army. "

The emperor did not speak.

The bravery of a man can reach this level, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After seeing Huang Xiaoshi burning with dark red magic flames that day, the emperor secretly asked Duke Xuan Li if he could do this.

Duke Xuan Li exhausted all his strength, and finally ignited the internal energy in his body, but compared to Huang Xiaoshi's aura at that time, Duke Xuan Li was like a match next to a giant candle.

Since then, the emperor's interest in Duke Xuanli has greatly diminished, and he feels that Duke Xuanli is weak.

But what the emperor didn't know was that there were probably less than ten warriors in the world who could burn their internal energy like this.

In fact, extreme martial arts can change the world faster than extreme intelligence, such as directly participating in wars.

It's just that, because Jiwu was put on a bridle, it didn't seem to be of much use, but this bridle can be relaxed according to the actual plot direction.

After a while, the emperor said to Chen Chongying: "You mean to say that this time the Tianlong Cult sent troops from the northwest, it was really not Huang Xiaoshi's envoy."

Chen Chongying nodded.

The nomadic tribes poured out from the northwest and captured Xi'an and Luoyang in one fell swoop. It can be said that the Manchu Dynasty was shaken. In terms of impact on the country, it was more serious than the entry of the Japanese, second only to the rebellion of King Cheng.

After all, everyone knows that although the Japanese look fierce, they are actually limited in combat power. The imperial court was caught off guard by the Japanese only because they could not draw soldiers and horses.

After a few months of trouble, the Japanese tried to besiege the capital, as if they were afraid that their face would be too far away from other people's fists.

Sure enough, the Jingying easily defeated the Japanese, and now they are hunting down the remaining enemies.

If all the leaders of the Japanese Legion are here, then there is no need to worry about them gathering and counterattacking again.

After walking around the censer for a few times in the study, the emperor asked Chen Chongying, "Chen Chongying, how many Japanese were surrendered? Find someone to train them. I am short of soldiers right now."

The current imperial court is still short of soldiers.

The lack of money in the imperial court was solved with a ship of Chengyin from Wa Island, but the shortage of soldiers could not be filled in two or three strokes.

King Cheng had already been defeated by Li Rusong, but Li Rusong also suffered a lot.Now, Li Rusong only had the strength to besiege the city, and was unable to attack Nanjing by force.

It can be said that the biggest crisis of the imperial court has passed, and it was finally taken over in one breath. If the nomadic tribes did not come to add chaos, the world would be peaceful.

Now the court's top priority is still King Cheng.

One day if King Cheng is not dealt with, there will be no way to free up one day to deal with the nomadic tribes who invaded the hinterland of the Central Plains again.

Everyone in the imperial court knew that compared to the Japanese or King Cheng, nomadic tribes were the greatest enemies of the imperial court.

"Soldiers for a subjugated country must come from the north."

This is the words of Taizu back then.

Although the "North" referred to in this sentence and the current "North" are two different things, it is still true today.

After receiving the emperor's oral order, Chen Chongying took over the troublesome and difficult task of reorganizing the Japanese.

However, the emperor assigned tasks to you, not to ask you to complain.

Doesn't the emperor know it's difficult? Doesn't the emperor know trouble?

Since you, Chen Chongying, are the owner of the Dongchang factory and the eunuch holding the pen of the supervisor of ceremonies, is the nine thousand years old called for nothing?
You have to share my worries.

After Chen Chongying formed an alliance with the emperor, the role of Duke Xuanli quickly weakened, and the emperor also demolished Xichang, which only ate and did nothing, which just confirmed the short life of Xichang.

But Duke Xuanli didn't care, he had very low requirements, as long as he could enjoy the glory and wealth, that's enough.

Chen Chongying can be said to be able to do more work, and the emperor left all the troubles to him.After leaving the palace, Chen Chongying remembered that he happened to have such a person in his hand, by the way, what is that guy's name, bull, bull, I can't remember.

It doesn't matter, the emperor left the matter to Chen Chongying, and Chen Chongying left the matter to his subordinates.

……

"Ah, Niu Ersang, I'm so envious of you for your small life."

In the Niu Mansion in the capital, Lu Shaolin greeted Niu Detian with a hippie smile.

During the battle at Caishiji, the entire Heizuka army was wiped out, and the Heizuka Toshi family fell into the Yangtze River during the fight with Shi Yi.Proficient in water skills, he swam across the Yangtze River to the north bank, and returned to the barracks that night to return to his command.

After that, it was what Kurozuka Toshiya, who changed his name to Niu Detian, thought, high-ranking officials and rich salary, prosperity and wealth.

The Kurozuka family is gone, and now the Niu family is thriving.

Lu Shaolin is a person who does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and today he suddenly came to the door, and Niu Detian naturally knew in his heart that there must be something big.

It can be said that after Lu Shaolin's identity was made semi-disclosed, every time something that could attract him to come forward, it would not be a trivial matter.

However, Niu Detian didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse that Lu Shaolin brought at this time.

"Master Lu, don't make fun of me." Niu Detian joked about Lu Shaolin, and he invited Lu Shaolin into the living room.

After the tea and cakes were served, Lu Shaolin said to Niu Detian, "Xiao Niu, you know about the battle outside the city a few days ago."

Niu Detian didn't know about this, that's what he was worried about.

Before Lu Shaolin could finish speaking, Niu Detian quickly jumped up from his chair.

Niu Detian clasped his fists, knelt down on one knee, and said to Lu Shaolin, "Your Excellency, I have clearly found out that I, Niu Detian, have nothing to do with those Japanese thieves outside the city!"

Niu Detian had already checked, and the Japanese people he brought over died cleanly. After the war, some people who escaped ashore by chance were also beaten to death by the people along the coast as Japanese pirates because they could speak Japanese fluently.

It is really a lesson from heaven, I, Niu Detian, is loyal to the imperial court, if there is half a lie, I will be struck dead by a thunderbolt.

"Don't worry, don't worry, we'll be in touch right away." After Lu Shaolin took a bite of a snack, he nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Niu Detian: "You have developed, and the imperial court wants to make you a general." .A real general."

Hearing this, Niu Detian took a deep breath.

Happiness comes too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it.

……

Li Cangtian and Weiming stood on the wall of Luoyang City, looking at the slave team below the city like a dragon, Li Cangtian said to Weiming: "Weiming, do you have any regrets in your heart?"

Hearing Li Cangtian's words, Weiming shook his head, and he said to Li Cangtian: "Teacher, since I was enlightened by your words, I understand many confused things that I didn't understand before.

The benevolence and righteousness in the world include great benevolence and great righteousness, small benevolence and small righteousness, and the benevolence of women. "

Weiming looked into the distance and said: "Healing the world is like healing the wounded.

Furen, seeing the wounded and howling in pain and bleeding, will only cry on the sidelines.It seems extremely intimate and touching, but in fact it can't do anything.

Xiao Ren, nothing more than tearing off the clothes on his body, and binding the injured's wound tightly, as for whether the injured can live or die, it depends on God's will.

The benevolent person holds a sharp knife, cuts the skin, cuts open the flesh, cuts off the rotten flesh, and then sutures the wound with hair, supplemented by food supplements.

This is the most effective way to treat the injured.

Those benevolent people and benevolent women, when they see a benevolent man holding a sharp knife, they will only think that he is going to do something unfavorable, so they all cursed and tried to stop them.

As everyone knows, this is the life of the patient. "

Li Cangtian nodded after hearing Weiming's words, and said to Weiming, "Those people from yesterday."

There was a flash of pain in Weiming's eyes, and then he said: "Since the operation is going to be done, more blood will inevitably flow out. What I have to do is just to prevent the blood from flowing in vain."

"Okay." Li Cangtian patted Weiming on the back, and he said, "You are the only one who knows me."

……

The reason why the Tianlong Cult was able to fight from the northwest border to Luoyang City in one go this time was that apart from the fact that they had already mastered the commercial road from the northwest border to Luoyang City, Weiming made great achievements during the siege of the city.

Li Cangtian didn't know about Bai Xiaosheng in Jianghu, nor did he know about the theory of Heavenly Dao, and he didn't care if he knew.

Since you have a weapon in hand, how could you not use it.

Every time Tianlongjiao soldiers approached the city, Weiming took out the long piano he was carrying to play the magic sound.A sad song is enough to make the defenders of the city heartbroken and lose their ability to resist.

Although the attack strength of the magic sound is not high, it has a very wide range of effects, not to mention that ordinary people have no resistance to internal attacks.

After capturing the city, in order to suppress the hearts of the people as soon as possible, the Tianlong Sect adopted the slaughter system.

The surrendered soldiers will draw one out of ten, and the common people will draw one out of twenty according to the household. Those who win the lottery will be killed immediately.

After the killing order passed, if someone wanted to connect with the crowd and organize resistance, they would carry out the second, third, and fourth times of killing.

In this way, the Tianlongjiao army fought all the way to Luoyang City.

Luoyang City is different from other cities. Shennong Baicaomen formed thousands of people and braves to assist officers and soldiers in defending the city.

The fighting ability of these brave men far surpassed that of officers and soldiers, and many of them even possessed superficial internal skills.

It took Tianlong Cult three days to finally kill this group of Minyong, and then broke Luoyang City.

After taking Luoyang City, Li Cangtian immediately sent his envoy to the capital to ask the emperor for peace.

Now, Li Cangtian is the new Heavenly King, Dongfang Weiming is the new Dragon King, and Li Xiang'er continues to serve as her gandharva, and forms a mission with Kinnara and Asura to go to the capital.

These three "beauties" were used by Li Cangtian to confuse the emperor.

Li Cangtian knew that the emperor would eventually send troops to attack Luoyang.

Luoyang City is too important. It is an important transportation node in the hinterland of the Central Plains. No matter who is the emperor, if he does not want the Central Plains to be cut off, he must recover Luoyang.

After the mission arrived in the capital, the emperor used the strategy of delaying troops to delay time, and Li Cangtian also used the emperor's strategy of delaying troops to delay time.

Luoyang has extremely important strategic value, but for Tianlongjiao, what is important is not its geographical location, nor the wealth it has accumulated over the years, but Shennong Baicaomen.

……

Although the days of being locked in the dungeon were dark, there was always a faint voice coming from the transom.

As people lose their vision in the dark, their hearing will improve compensatoryly and become extremely keen.

Some sounds that were not clear at all can be heard clearly with the improvement of hearing.

The vent of the dungeon - the statue of Xiao Xiami, is right in the center of Luoyang City, and next to it are all kinds of stalls selling food.

Li Cangtian spent the whole day listening to the people in Luoyang City bragging and chatting to pass the time.

In recent years, Li Cangtian frequently heard a few words: "Shen Nong Baicaomen", "Master Shi", "Huang Xiaoshi", "elixir", and he gradually understood what changed in Luoyang City.

It turned out that a man named "Huang Xiaoshi" came to Luoyang and set up a "Shennong Baicaomen" to make medicine. The "elixir" it produced was very effective against various diseases. Quartet can be sold.

Coincidentally, Huang Xiaoshi also likes to come here to eat from time to time, through so many years of dedicated "eavesdropping", Li Cangtian has long been familiar with Huang Xiaoshi's voice.

That day, as soon as Huang Xiaoshi opened his mouth to speak, Li Cangtian had already "listened" to him.

The ridiculous thing is that Huang Xiaoshi didn't know about it, he thought that Li Cangtian was locked in this dungeon, deaf and blind, completely out of touch with the outside world.

As everyone knows, Li Cangtian knows much more than he imagined.

Afterwards, the two of them showed off their acting skills to each other.

After years of training, Huang Xiaoshi's acting skills can be said to be perfect, but Li Cangtian's acting skills are even better, and he has reached the level of moisturizing and silent.

Li Cangtian is a person with great ambitions. Over the years, he has been thinking about a question, why the Western Regions are not as good as the Central Plains.

Originally, Li Cangtian believed that what the Western Regions lacked was the land in the Central Plains, so he unswervingly took the road of expansion.

In the following years, Li Cangtian believed that the biggest difference between the Western Regions and the Central Plains should be people.

Although the people in the Western Regions grazed water and grass, were exposed to wind and sun all day, and suffered from hunger and cold, there is one thing that cannot be denied is that their life is very easy.

The whole day is idle, doing nothing.

After all, cattle and sheep can move on their own, graze on their own, and find wives and have children by themselves. What the shepherd needs to provide is just to protect them.

And the Central Plains people are extremely industrious, Li Cangtian only needs to listen to the cries above his head to know how much work the Central Plains people have to do every day.

However, after getting in touch with Huang Xiaoshi, Li Cangtian suddenly understood that advanced technology is the productivity.

You must know that Shennong Baicaomen's pharmaceutical technology does not require fields, and secondly does not require cattle and sheep. As long as there are people, it can always make medicines and keep making medicines.

One hundred people can make one hundred medicines, and one thousand people can make one thousand medicines.

There is no upper limit to this productivity.

In other words, there is no upper limit to the wealth created by technology.

This is why Shennong Baicaomen was able to expand to such a large scale in just a few years.

Li Cangtian couldn't help thinking that if the Western Regions also possessed this kind of technology, wouldn't they be able to take off immediately.

Therefore, after regaining power, Li Cangtian began to formulate a plan to invade the Central Plains. One of his most important strategic points was Luoyang City.

Luoyang City must be taken, it has everything that Tianlong Cult needs.

……

After the capture of Luoyang City, the Tianlong Sect quickly occupied Shennong Baicaomen. All the production equipment of Shennong Baicaomen were packed and evacuated to the Western Regions. All craftsmen of Shennong Baicaomen were also classified as slaves and moved to the Western Regions in batches .

In order to allow these people to live in the Western Regions with peace of mind, the Tianlong Sect also went door-to-door to check and took away the families of the craftsmen.

Every day, thousands of slaves tied with ropes left Luoyang City under the guard of soldiers. Li Cangtian wanted to move all the craftsmen needed before the imperial court counterattacked Luoyang.

With such a large-scale migration on foot, there must be a large amount of attrition.

Li Cangtian made an estimate, even if half of them died on the road first, and half of them died after arriving in the Western Regions due to acclimatization, after half of this half, there would still be 5000 people left, which would be enough.

After the city of Luoyang was broken, the Shen doctor's family naturally did not escape, and they would also be relocated to the Western Regions.

Yesterday, the six sages of Wangyou went to Luoyang City collectively. They released some of the slaves who had already left the city, and sneaked into the city, trying to rescue the family of Divine Doctor Shen. encircled.

Scholar, Danqing, and Jiuxian were killed on the spot, Xianyin was seriously injured, and Nymphomaniac and Jusou fled with Xianyin.

Looking at the slave team winding along the commercial road to the horizon in the distance, Weiming muttered to himself: "

This is all blood that must be shed.

What I have to do is not to let this blood flow in vain. "(end of this chapter)
