Changsheng starts from Tiangang 36

Chapter 275: People's support, fatal change!

It was a hot summer day, the red sun was in the sky, and there was no breeze.

At noon, the heat is at its peak, and the entire ancient Liangzhou seems to be shrouded in flames. The heat reflected from the earth makes the air ripe and twisted.

The wide and flat official road was completely smokeless, with no one around for hundreds of miles. Even the merchants who came from the Western Regions to drive the camel caravan would not choose to travel at this time.

"The news can't be wrong, who can hurry up at this time!"

"No, their team has been traveling along the official road, not very fast. I happened to meet them yesterday evening. According to the speed they are going, they should appear soon!"

"It's true, many people have seen it with their own eyes!"

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Shopkeeper, bring in more well water, my skin and flesh will almost be roasted!"

Beside the road, there are several stalls, and under a dozen sheds supported by rough wood and felt cloth, a completely different scene is presented.

The shed slightly further away from the official road was more quiet, but empty.

On the contrary, the sheds on both sides of the road were crowded with people, and those who arrived later had almost no place to stay.

The weather was hot and windless, and so many people gathered together in an airtight atmosphere. Sweat was falling like beads, and the air was turbid, but no one left. They were all unaware, looking to the north expectantly.

The waiter and the owner had no intention of running the business for a long time. They turned a deaf ear to the shouts of the guests and just watched intently.

"I'm coming!"

The air that had been dull for a long time suddenly began to flow. Under the shed, a warrior from the Western Regions, nearly two meters tall, let out a cry of surprise.

The earth also began to shake at this time.

Everyone was refreshed and couldn't wait to stand on tiptoes and stretch their necks.

At the end of the official road, many figures gradually appeared.

Accompanied by the sound of heavy and powerful iron hoofs, a cavalry team with bright armor rushed out of the steaming and twisted air at a leisurely pace.

Three hundred tall knights wearing black mountain and river armor held halberds in one hand. The halberd, which weighed more than several hundred kilograms, seemed to have no weight at all. It stood upright, with the halberd blade pointing toward the sky, like a flag.

The mount under him is a huge beast that Zhou people have never seen before. It is as strong as a rhinoceros and is covered in heavy armor. The specific shape and outline cannot be seen clearly, but the pair of giant disc-shaped horns on the top of the head look like they are made of steel. Under the scorching sun, the deep luster reflected.

When people see it, they feel awe in their hearts, fearing that even the half-meter-thick stone wall cannot stop the heavily armored beast from ramming it head-on.

After re-riding, there were hundreds of mighty knights who were also riding horned beasts. Their armors were thicker, and behind their backs were a huge square shield about two meters long, and a terrifying giant wolf-toothed weapon. stick.

Judging from the format of the armor and weapons, it should be heavy armored infantry.

Their formation was relatively scattered, guarding a magnificent purple-gold chariot. The carriage was very wide and occupied almost half of the official road. From a distance, it looked like a moving palace.

Eight huge figures walked in front, dragging the giant chariot forward.

When the team got a little closer, the onlookers on both sides of the road were surprised to find that the eight figures were not horses or strange beasts, but eight giants wearing armor and over five meters tall.

It was originally a scorching sun, but when these eight giants appeared in sight, everyone clearly felt that the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped a lot.

Even some white frost can be seen on the armor of these giants.

"Quebecs, they are a tribe of Québécois from the far north!"

"There is such a race in the world. I always thought that the Quebec people were just a legend!"

"King An Mang is worthy of being the number one prince with a different surname in our Great Zhou Dynasty. He can even tame the Kui tribe!"

Everyone was shocked, but the team in the distance kept approaching.

Behind the giant purple-gold chariot, there were two hundred heavy riders also wearing mountain and river armor, guarding the rear.

In addition, around the team, there are hundreds of light cavalry wearing scale armor, riding a kind of antelope beast that they have never seen before, flying on the ground like hawks, always keeping alert and detecting any abnormalities that may appear around them.

With a team of less than a thousand people, the iron-blooded murderous spirit and majestic momentum they gathered together were enough to be worth hundreds of thousands of troops.

It is more like the king of the divine court descending into the mortal world.

"The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty respectfully welcome King An Mang back!"

Someone shouted loudly, and everyone who had been stunned suddenly woke up. They all knelt down on the ground, bowed their heads respectfully, and knelt down devoutly.

The Great Zhou Qilin, who turned the tide, traveled across the wilderness, and had invincible mercenaries, is finally back!

Although it has been half a year since the Northern Expedition ended, the civilians near the Great Wall in the North have never forgotten King Anmang's protection and kindness to them.

If King Anmang hadn't turned the tide of the battle several times, Beimang's million-strong army would have already rushed through the Great Wall and entered the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty to burn, kill and loot.

"Your Majesty, your deeds and feats in the wilderness have already spread throughout the nine states. In the hearts of all civilians, you are already a veritable military god of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and your reputation far exceeds that of Wuhou!"

In the giant purple-gold carriage, Mo Yunliang and Hu Yangu sat on both sides of the carriage. They didn't need to open the windows to watch, but they could still feel the piety of the people kneeling and worshiping on both sides of the road.

The Kumang tribe in the Great Zhou Dynasty has been suffering from a long-standing problem. For more than eighty years since the founding of the country, all four generations of monarchs have not wanted to quell the disaster.

However, the wilderness is vast and the eight royal families of Beimang are powerful. The monarchs of the past dynasties have launched dozens of conquests, large and small, but they have never been able to defeat Beimang. Instead, they have been defeated several times. Even the Seventeenth Mansion of Yunjing has been defeated by Beimang. times occupied.

Until this time during the Northern Expedition, Jiang Li came out of nowhere and single-handedly destroyed the entire Mang clan, leaving them without the ability to expand for decades.

The north of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been peaceful since then, the people no longer have to suffer from the Mang tribe's invasion, and future generations can greatly reduce the chance of being drafted for military service.

As the team walked along the way, in the towns they encountered along the way, the people swept away their past worries and sorrows, and regained hope and confidence in their future life.

Upon hearing that King An Mang had returned to the capital, countless civilians spontaneously walked out of towns and villages, gathered on both sides of the official road, and knelt down to welcome him.

In their hearts, Jiang Li was the patron saint king of the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As long as Anmang City stands in the northern wilderness, no one can cross the Great Wall of the North!
"Mr. Mo, let the people on both sides of the official road get up!"

Jiang Li sat cross-legged deep in the carriage with a calm tone.

Although he did not deliberately release his senses, all the scenes within dozens of miles around him were clearly reflected in the depths of his mind.

In some distant corners that are invisible to the naked eye, as well as above the clouds, many strange eyes are watching and monitoring from a distance.

From the first moment his team entered the territory of Dazhou, these eyes were like hunting beasts and snakes, staring at and following them.

Jiang Li had expected this, so he wasn't surprised at all.

His famous deeds spread throughout the nine states and will inevitably attract the attention of countless forces.

When he was in Mangyuan, Li Province and Anmang City were both his territories, and these forces could not approach quietly.

But as soon as they entered the Great Zhou Dynasty, these forces immediately joined forces.Even among the people kneeling on both sides of the road, he found a few "special" looks.

"Your Majesty, why don't you send people to kill them all?"

The skin on Huyangu's old face slowly stretched, and murderous intent arose.

"Let them go, I am a physically disabled person, what secrets can I find out!"

Jiang Li smiled and didn't care.

As long as these people didn't take the initiative to attack him, he didn't bother to care.

And the more people around him, the more it becomes a cover.

"Senior Huyan, even if we are just some small fish and shrimps, what can we do? If An Mang still needs some peaceful time to develop, the king's power no longer needs to be afraid of anyone!"

Mo Yunliang raised his right hand, and hundreds of strands of true energy flew out of the chariot from his palm, gently lifting up the people who were kneeling on both sides of the road.

The true energy is under his control, and he can do whatever he wants and achieve perfection.

As early as two months ago, he had entered the late stage of the ninth realm of Qi Meridian and was already a veritable Qi Meridian Grandmaster.

Previously, he had been in the Great Zhou Dynasty, recruiting people and craftsmen for Anmang City, and establishing trade channels.

When Jiang Li returned to the territory of Dazhou, he came as soon as possible and just met up this morning.

"Mo Yunliang and Hu Yangu, you guys will guard me in the chariot as we head south. I will return to Shengjing first. If any officials visit me along the way, they will say that my old injury has relapsed and I have fallen into a coma!"

After the team left the roadside tea stall and wine stall, Jiang Li suddenly stepped out of the carriage and pushed open the door.

"Your Majesty is going to Yingyue Villa?"

Mo Yun's conscience couldn't help but move.

It has been a year since the King left Beijing last year, which is not a short time.

Although he grew up in the Hou Mansion since childhood, he does not have any attachment to the Zhenwu Hou Mansion. At this time, he can't wait to return to Shengjing first, and he can only miss one person in his heart.

However, before Mo Yunliang could finish his words, the air in the carriage shook slightly, and Jiang Li's figure had already disappeared.

"The speed of the master's movement is so amazing!"

Mo Yunliang was astonished. He was already a nine-level qi master, and his true qi enveloped a space. No subtle changes could escape his qi induction.

But the Lord disappeared in an instant, not only without any warning, but even out of his sensing range in an instant.

One breath can traverse a distance of at least ten miles.

Such amazing physical abilities cannot be matched even by peak martial saints.

Could it be that the king already has the power to compete with human immortals?
……

"Jiang Li has arrived in Luochuan?"

In the back garden of Wuhou Mansion in Shengjing Town, Jiang Shirong, the Marquis of Zhenwu, stood on the bank of a lake with his hands behind his back. His long, narrow and deep eyes were as calm as an abyss, looking at the lake in front of him quietly.

"Reporting to the Marquis, King An Mang's team is very powerful. It has attracted the attention of many people before they even entered the Great Wall of the North."

Behind Jiang Shirong, stood a middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance, wearing a short coat of coarse cloth, and the straw sandals under his feet were stained with yellow mud, like an old farmer who had just returned from the fields.

But his back was straight and his expression was respectful and natural. Standing behind Jiang Shirong, he was neither humble nor arrogant. He was obviously not an ordinary person.

"Is Jiang Li's body really destroyed?" Jiang Shirong asked calmly.

"Back to the Marquis, King An Mang has many strong men under his command. They may have hidden powers. It is inconvenient for his subordinates to get too close. But the aura coming from the chariot indicates that King An Mang is indeed secretly injured!"

The middle-aged man replied respectfully. He followed Jiang Shirong's gaze and looked at the small lake in front of him. He paused slightly and said, "However, I feel that even if King An Mang is injured secretly, his body is really ruined like the legend. There may not be other ways to hide it.

"Looking at King An Mang's past actions, if he really had no one to rely on, he would never leave An Mang on his own initiative and plunge himself into an unknown situation!"

"Do you suspect that he has practiced Taoism?" Jiang Shirong raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Maybe it's Taoism, or maybe it's Confucianism!" the middle-aged man whispered.

"You are right. He has been imbued with the literary energy of literary saints and hundreds of sages, and practicing Confucianism does have great advantages. The yin and yang life and death bloodline of the survivors of the former Qin Dynasty is also the best help for practicing Taoism!"

Jiang Shirong nodded: "Moreover, this boy is perverse and paranoid, and has a ruthless spirit that refuses to admit defeat. Although his body being crippled is a big blow to him, he will not admit defeat, but will become even more ferocious!"

"Master Marquis, do you need me to give him a try?"

the middle-aged man asked.

"There is no need to take action against him. Even if he has some talent in cultivating Taoism and Confucianism, he will not be able to achieve anything famous in just a few months. Moreover, if something unexpected happens to him before he returns to the capital, the Holy Emperor will definitely be furious, and there will be some It will damage the prestige of our great Zhou Dynasty."

Jiang Shirong shook his head: "Let him go for a few days, and we will discuss it after the Holy One has held a canonization ceremony for him. Moreover, I will be with him in the temple. All changes in his body and soul cannot be hidden from my eyes." .”

"The Marquis is already a human immortal, and all disguises can no longer be concealed. Moreover, even if King An Mang is accomplished in Taoism, Dharma, and Confucianism, becomes a thunder calamity ghost immortal, and obtains the title of Wende, he still cannot be the Marquis. opponent, but..."

The middle-aged man nodded, recalling the strength of Jiang Li's men. Just when he was about to continue saying something, the lake in front of him suddenly changed.

"boom"

Only a loud noise was heard, and all the lake water covering an area of ​​about several miles suddenly surged upwards, flew away from the bottom of the lake, and rose into the sky. Under the influence of an unknown force, it suddenly gathered towards the center, and continued extrusion.

The originally liquid lake water gradually condensed during this process, and its volume continued to decrease. Some crystals formed inside, making a terrifying sound like the roar of an angry sea.

"This is……"

The middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat. He sensed a majestic and endless terrifying power in the lake water that was constantly gathering at high altitudes.

"The second fatal transformation, the soul reaches the sky, and the law is in control!"

In the bottom of the lake, a young man's figure stood proudly, grabbing the air with his hands. Countless divine lights flew out of his hands, but they were streams of true energy containing magical power.

The true energy flew into the sky, tightly wrapped the lake that had shrunk ten times, violently rotated, and compressed again.

The lake water, which had been compressed to the extreme, gathered inward again and underwent a deeper transformation.

It continued to shrink and crystallize completely, and finally gathered into a round crystal the size of a water tank, slowly falling into the young man's palm.

"I control the law and change all things!"

I saw the young man holding the crystal with both hands and pinching it at will, like magic.

A few breaths later, a pair of crystal armor with mysterious patterns appeared in front of Jiang Shirong and the middle-aged man.
