Dominate the Heavens: Starting from the Foreign History of Wulin

Chapter 404: Sealing the Cold
"Don't be impulsive!"

Lang Fanyun shook his head repeatedly and said, "Zhu Yuanzhang's Shenwu Navy has at least 100,000 elite soldiers. The number of people alone is dozens of times that of our Nujiao Gang. The reason why we don't take them seriously is entirely because their leader is an incompetent person like Hu Jie."

"If Zhu Yuanzhang comes to his senses and changes his commander, replacing him with a navy commander of above-average caliber, then it will be extremely difficult for our Angry Dragon Gang to win."

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Lang Fanyun's statement.

The reason why the Angry Dragon Gang is the best navy in the world is entirely because they have a top-notch commander like Gui Suo Ling Zhantian who is proficient in water warfare.

If the other side also has such a talented general, the outcome of the game is still uncertain.

In the Ming Dynasty, there is absolutely no shortage of talented generals who can rival Ling Zhantian.

The first one is the famous Ghost King Xu Ruowu, who was the teacher of the military strategist, Prince Yan. Zhu Yuanzhang was able to gain control of the world because of Xu Ruowu's assistance. What's more important is that Xu Ruowu is also the world's top master of mechanical construction. The performance of the ships he built is extremely good, and both the speed and function are far superior to ordinary ships.

With his ability of being as if nothing, if Ling Zhantian were to command the army himself, it would be a pipe dream for him to win.

The second person was Zhen Sushan of Khwarezm.

In the original novel, Zhen Sushan and Ling Zhantian commanded the navy to fight once, and Ling Zhantian was miserably defeated and escaped at all costs.

The third person is Daoyan, a monk under the command of Prince Yan!

From Ling Zhantian’s battle record in the original novel, we know that the reputation of the Nu Jiao Gang as the best navy in the world is very exaggerated and is definitely not impossible to shake.

The gang members at the bottom certainly have unprecedented confidence in the right vanguard Ling Zhantian.

however.

Zuo Xianfeng Lang Fanyun, who is also a senior official, knows Ling Zhantian’s situation.

If the commander of the Shenwu Navy at this moment was a martial arts master with a demonic heart, such a person, just by relying on his innate spiritual perception, would be able to prevent 90% of the tricks of the Angry Dragon Gang from being able to perform.

The most important thing is.

Although the Shenwu Navy has 100,000 soldiers, if it is defeated in the first battle, the enemy can always recruit troops from all over the country for the second time.

And if the Nu Jiao Gang loses last time, it will be extremely difficult for them to replenish their troops.

In the current situation.

The Angry Dragon Gang must act with caution. If they are not careful, the entire army will be wiped out.

"So what do you mean, brother?"

Gui Suo Ling Zhantian asked curiously.

Lang Fanyun said, "It's very simple. We keep our troops in place and secretly use our connections to investigate the changes in the Shenwu Navy. I have a bad feeling that the commander of the Shenwu Navy may have changed. Moreover, there must be a large number of martial arts masters in this navy, enough to completely crush our Angry Dragon Gang."

While everyone was analyzing the situation, suddenly, the Thousand Miles Spirit (carrier pigeon) unique to the Nu Jiao Gang flew down from the sky.

Lang Fanyun waved his hand and caught the flying pigeon in the air. He took out the letter from under the pigeon's feet, opened it, and his face changed drastically.

Qin Mengyao asked in confusion: "What happened?"

Lang Fanyun handed the letter to everyone to read. After everyone took a look at it, their faces changed drastically.

Lang Fanyun said: "It seems that my guess is correct. A large number of members of the Xieyi Sect, the Yellow River Gang, and the Xiangshui Gang have entered the Shenwu Navy. These people gathered together, just the elite martial arts masters, I am afraid there are more than 5,000 of them. In terms of martial arts, they are even better than us. What I am most worried about is not the power of the three major gangs, but the commander of the Shenwu Navy."

"Everyone, come and see!"

Lang Fanyun said: "The Evil Sect has moved into the Shenwu Navy, and nine out of ten of Li Ruohai's former subordinates have become key generals under Hu Jie. Under such circumstances, who would believe it if someone said that the Shenwu Navy had nothing to do with Li Ruohai?"

"so!"

Ling Zhantian said with a sharp gaze: "At this moment, the actual commander of the Shenwu Navy has actually become Li Ruohai, and is no longer the former Hu Jie."

Qin Mengyao and Shangguan Ying's expressions changed drastically.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Although Li Ruohai is only a martial arts master, he is not a talented commander and has never led a navy.

but.

The battle at Yingfeng Gorge became a sensation throughout the world. Who among the martial artists of the time didn't know how powerful Li Ruohai was?

For experts like them, if they understand one principle, they will understand all principles.

Even though he had never commanded a navy, no one would dare not take Li Ruohai seriously, because this kind of person had spiritual cultivation, divine wisdom, and the ability to grasp the secrets of heaven. No matter in what aspect, he could not be easily defeated.

Ling Zhantian had a solemn look on his face and said, "In terms of martial arts, I admit that even if I practiced for a hundred years, I would probably not be a match for Li Ruohai. But if I were to command the navy to engage in battle, I don't think I would lose to Li Ruohai."

Lang Fanyun said happily: "I understand your feelings better than anyone else. But now, isn't it a good time for us to declare war on the Shenwu Navy? Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive. Attack the Shenwu Navy at this moment, which would be suspected of rebellion, is very disadvantageous to us. As long as the other party does not take the initiative to attack us, we must not become enemies."

"When the Prince of Yan raises his army in the future, with his prestige and momentum, all the officials in the world will be eager for him to rule the world. We will follow suit and defeat the Shenwu Navy. Zhu Yunwen will be doomed. Even if we lose in the end, the Angry Dragon Gang can be divided into countless small families and go north to join the Prince of Yan. At that time, whether we advance or retreat, it will be much better than now. What do you think, Zhantian?"

Ling Zhantian nodded resentfully, which was considered as his agreement.

At that moment, the leader of the Angry Dragon Gang, Shangguan Ying, ordered all parties to closely monitor the movements of the Shenwu Navy, and at the same time ordered the army to prepare for battle.

The two major naval forces on both sides of the Yangtze River confronted each other.

Prince of Yan Zhu Di had not actually revolted yet, but the shadow of an uprising could be seen everywhere across the country.

Wherever they were, there were fierce struggles between the Yan Wang party and the Crown Prince's party.

Ling Zhantian said: "Lu Ye attacked us first and arranged defenses, which greatly restricted our strength. What should we do now? Besides keeping our troops in place, what else should we do?"

Before Lang Fanyun could continue, Bu She in the crowd said, "The battle at Yingfeng Gorge was known all over the world. If the rumors are true, the magician Pang Ban should be injured at this moment. Now is a good time for us to deal with Pang Ban."

"need to know!"

The Shaolin sword monk said reluctantly: "At this moment, we are fighting against the martial arts forces represented by Lu Ye. Even with the reputation of Hero Lang and Miss Qin, there are still many righteous people. It is not us who choose to join Lu Ye. The reason is very simple. Not only is Lu Ye's martial arts amazing, but he is the only person in the Central Plains martial arts who can compete with Pang Ban. At the same time, it is also because Lu Ye is willing to do his best to compete with Pang Ban on behalf of the Central Plains martial arts, and he has repeatedly repelled Pang Ban's men and killed nine evil gods in the Magic Master Palace one after another."

"Compared to what Lu Ye has done, our achievements are insignificant."

Looking back at the period since Pang Ban’s invasion, what have these so-called leaders of the martial arts world done?
Either you flee for your life, or you stop at the right time.

To put it bluntly, they simply didn't dare to attack Pang Ban and the masters under Pang Ban.

Just like in the original novel, when Lang Fanyun encountered the black and white servants under Pang Ban, he knew that the other party had no good intentions towards the Central Plains martial arts world and that he had a sure win. However, he still taught the other party a lesson with great grace, making them leave with harsh words and turn around.

The Central Plains martial arts masters led by Lang Fanyun can only be full of vigor and vitality when facing the same Central Plains martial arts masters who have defected to Pang Ban.

It was like an all-out attack, killing Mo Yixian and Tan Yingshou of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Really facing Pang Ban’s confidants, Fang Yeyu and others.

Either tell others that these people are actually good people, or let them go with great grace.

If there was no comparison, in the Central Plains martial arts world, only Lang Fanyun could compete with the magician Pang Ban.

Then.

The martial artists in the Central Plains would have no problem with this. Instead, they would think that Lang Fanyun was a man of foresight and a man worthy of trust.

However, if some people suddenly appeared in the Central Plains martial arts world at this moment, and contrasted with Lang Fanyun, and Lang Fanyun's self-righteous behavior of letting the enemy go, Qin Mengyao's explanation and praise of Pang Ban would no longer be respected.

"What the hell?"

No one dared to deal with the real people from the Demon Master's Palace.

but.

When faced with the Central Plains martial artists who had defected to Pang Ban, he took ruthless action to demonstrate his power and presence.

Are all the martial artists in the Central Plains treacherous and cunning people who are good at internal fighting but not good at external fighting?

Ling Zhantian asked: "I wonder what Master Bushe means..."

He said reluctantly: "Magic Master Pang Ban is a major threat to the Central Plains martial arts community. Under normal circumstances, we would never be able to deal with him, but the situation is different now. Magic Master Pang Ban has been seriously injured. If we can take this opportunity to gather experts and surround and kill him, we may have a chance to kill Pang Ban."

"Once we kill Pang Ban on behalf of the Central Plains masters, we will surely be able to shock the world. By then, our prestige will be at its peak. Even if we enter the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to deal with us. Supporting the Ghost King and the King of Yan will be even more effective. I wonder what you think of what I said?"

After hearing reluctant suggestions, everyone present nodded heavily.

indeed.

In the past, when the magic master Pang Ban was in his prime, these people were not easy to deal with, but now he has been seriously injured and should be able to put up a fight.

And this serious injury may be the only chance for everyone.

In the original novel, after the Battle of Yingfeng Gorge, the twelve elders of the Righteous Alliance immediately and unanimously issued an order to siege and kill Pang Ban. On the one hand, it was for the sake of the people of the world, and on the other hand, they valued the prestige in the martial arts world that could be gained after killing Pang Ban.

At this moment.

The eight major sects of the righteous path fell apart, and the twelve elder councils they had had long since been disbanded.

However, this did not prevent the righteous masters from taking advantage of the situation and gathering their own masters to attack Pang Ban.

After reluctantly speaking out his thoughts, Ruyun Monastery and Bodhi Monastery, two of the eight major sects of the orthodox path, all responded strongly, and it was obvious that they shared the same hatred with Shaolin Temple.

Qin Mengyao thought for a while, and then slowly said, "Mengyao understands your thoughts and ideas very well. If we can kill Pang Ban, it will be of great benefit to our prestige and what we have done. However, have you ever thought about what will happen if we lose this battle?"

Bu She clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "At worst, you can just leave our lives there. How can Bu She be a person who is afraid of death?"

Qin Mengyao sighed and said, "Pang Ban may have been seriously injured. However, you don't know much about the Dao Heart Demon Seeding Technique. I'm afraid you don't know that this martial art has a miraculous effect on healing. As long as the breath is not extinguished, the vitality will continue. You can absorb the dead energy with your own demon seeds. Pang Ban's injuries should not be serious at the moment, and may even have healed."

"No!"

Lang Fanyun suddenly spoke up, and said with great confidence: "I can guarantee with my own reputation that the magician Pang Ban's injuries are not minor. At this moment, his injuries must be extremely serious, and it is absolutely impossible for him to recover within one or two years."

"what?"

Qin Mengyao's expression changed drastically and she asked, "Why does Brother Lang have such a claim? With the power of the Dao Heart and the power of the Great Law, the healing ability should be invincible in the world, right?"

Lang Fanyun said: "I have never denied the power of Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Technique, but Mengyao, you forgot that this time, it was not others who injured Pang Ban, but Lu Ye and Li Ruohai."

"Not only do they have extraordinary martial arts skills, but they are also mentally strong. All the true qi they release contains their indestructible martial arts will, and the true qi is spiritual and everlasting."

"In the martial arts world, the more top-notch masters are, the less likely they are to get injured. However, once injured, there is no such thing as a minor injury. Wanting to recover, or even get back to the peak? It is by no means an easy task. Even if Pang Ban has great abilities, it is by no means an easy task to expel Lu Ye and Li Ruohai's martial arts will from their vital parts."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized and became more confident in defeating Pang Ban.

however.

Lang Fanyun shook his head and said, "I understand everyone's feelings very well. I want to kill Pang Ban and accomplish something great. However, there are at least three reasons why we cannot attack Pang Ban at this moment."

"First of all, although Pang Ban is seriously injured, there are many martial arts masters following him, and they still have an absolute advantage over us. The chances of winning by besieging and killing Pang Ban are extremely small, and it is very likely to put all of us in danger."

"Secondly, taking advantage of a strong enemy's injury to attack, what is the difference between such behavior and kicking someone when he is down or taking advantage of someone's misfortune? Even if we can win this battle, it will not be good for our reputation at all. On the contrary, it will greatly affect our reputation."

"Third, at this moment, the situation in the world is obvious. The Central Plains martial arts world, including those outside the region, is roughly divided into three parts: us, Pang Ban, and Lu Ye. While we are resisting Pang Ban, we must also guard against Lu Ye and Zhu Yunwen, a group of gangsters and treacherous villains who will gain control of the world. The master of this great country can only be the virtuous and talented Prince of Yan Zhu Di, not Zhu Yunwen, a young boy."

"At this moment, among the three of us, our forces and Pang Ban's are the weakest, while Lu Ye's strength is the strongest. If we fight with Pang Ban, we will both lose in the end. And Lu Ye will take advantage of the opportunity. By then, I'm afraid that even if the two of us unite, there will be no way to save the situation. The world is likely to fall into the hands of Lu Ye and Zhu Yunwen, and the people will surely be in dire straits."

"So, for the sake of the people of the world, we must not take action against Pang Ban at this time."

According to the original.

It was inevitable that the eight righteous sects would take advantage of the situation and attack Pang Ban. However, the situation had changed. Under the leadership of Lang Fanyun and Qin Mengyao, the righteous masters had undergone tremendous changes in both strength and vision, and the so-called siege ended without a word.

What Lang Fanyun and Qin Mengyao didn't know was.

At the same time they made the decision not to become enemies with Pang Ban and let Lu Ye take advantage of the situation.

Pang Ban also made a decision that he would never become an enemy of the Angry Dragon Gang and let Lu Ye benefit.

Although the two sides have not formed an alliance, in terms of specific circumstances, it is equivalent to an alliance.

Seeing that the two top leaders had already made the decision, the Shaolin monks Wuxiang and Jianseng, who had always supported Qin Mengyao, could only nod reluctantly and temporarily gave up their determination to attack Pang Ban.

Shaolin asked reluctantly: "The navy cannot be defeated, and Pang Ban cannot be defeated either, so what should we do next? Should we keep our troops in place and stay in the Nujiao Gang to recuperate?"

"Of course not."

Lang Fanyun smiled and said, "Considering the current situation, Changzheng and his group should be entering the capital soon, right?"

"The capital is the headquarters of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen. With the power they possess, the Long March alone is inevitably isolated and powerless, so I plan to go to the capital in person to see if there is anything I can help with."

Qin Mengyao said happily: "The forces in the capital are complicated. However, many of the dignitaries represent the military forces that control the troops of the Ming Dynasty. If we can use the power of the Long March to make friends with various forces, the power of the Yan Wang Party will be able to gain greater support. Although this move cannot weaken the power of Lu Ye and Pang Ban, it will undoubtedly strengthen our power. This is indeed a good plan."

"correct!"

Lang Fanyun smiled and said, "The capital is not only the power of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen, but also the power of Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple. Mengyao will go with me."

"I believe that if we can combine our strengths, we can ensure the success of the Long March."

Everyone nodded happily and wished the two men a great victory.

suddenly.

The leader of the Angry Dragon Gang hurried in from outside, glanced at the martial arts masters present, and finally set his sights on Feng Han, the left-handed knife master who was as famous as Lang Fanyun.

The little leader said, "Master Feng, here is a letter for you."

"what?"

A look of surprise appeared on Feng Han's face. Everyone knew that Feng Han had always been a loner and had very few friends in the martial arts world. How could a letter be given to him?

Feng Han took the letter and opened it to read. After reading it once, he couldn't help but get furious.

"what's going on?"

Noticing that Feng Han's expression was not right, Dushou Qianluo, Lang Fanyun and others who were sitting next to him all showed curious expressions.

Feng Han said in a deep voice: "Hong Qing was captured by them!"

"What is Rainbow Blue?"

Lang Fanyun, Shangguan Ying and Qian Luo's expressions changed drastically at the same time, obviously they were thinking of something extremely bad.

The so-called rainbow blue is dry rainbow blue.

Qian Hongqing is Qian Luo's goddaughter. She was adopted by Qian Luo since she was a child and taught martial arts and manners, eventually allowing her to grow into a famous beauty in the martial arts world.

Because of Qian Luo's abilities and charm, Qian Hongqing fell deeply in love with his adoptive father when he was young.

However, after growing up, Qian Luo promised Qian Hongqing to the leader of the Nu Jiao Gang, Shangguan Ying, in order to plot against the Gang.

Qian Hongqing was discovered by Lang Fanyun. In the battle between Qian Luo and Lang Fanyun, Qian Hongqing became completely disappointed with his adoptive father because he was used as a shield by Qian Luo.

Instead, I fell in love with Lang Fanyun.

however.

Lang Fanyun then entrusted Qian Hongqing to the left-hand knife Feng Han.

Qian Hongqing washed off all her worldly desires and became a country young woman who followed Feng Han. The two of them lived a leisurely life with the man farming and the woman weaving.

and so.

At this moment, Qian Hongqing is one of the admirers of Poison Hand Qian Luo and her adopted daughter.

It is the early stage of Shangguan Ying.

She is the girl that Lang Fanyun has flirted with.

She is Zuoshou Dao Fenghan’s current wife.

however.

Not that long ago.

When the news of Lang Fanyun's serious injury spread, Feng Han had no choice but to come out and lend a helping hand to Lang Fanyun.

However, he didn't expect that not long after he left, his home was broken into and his wife Qian Hongqing was abducted, with the purpose of threatening him to go and meet the visitor.

Qin Mengyao asked curiously, "Brother Feng, do you know who took my sister-in-law away?"

Feng Han, the left-handed swordsman, said, "The one who wrote this letter is the number one expert of the Semu people, the Wild Wolf Ren Bi. The Wild Wolf Ren Bi and Princess Zhen Sushan are the two leaders of the Semu people, and their relationship is not very good. During the many battles, Pang Ban always relied on Zhen Sushan as his confidant instead of Ren Bi."

"I wonder why this guy showed up?"

Qin Mengyao said: "I'm afraid it's not just Ren Bi. Ren Bi is the leader who competes with Zhen Sushan in the Semu forces. He has two masters under him who are not inferior to Brother Sefeng."

"At the same time, there is a high possibility that other forces are intervening."

In fact, Qin Mengyao's worries are not unreasonable.

The Wild Wolf Renbi is the leader of the Semites and has always been close to the Mongolian martial arts forces. It is inevitable that he has friendship with the three evil caves, the Evil Sand Castle, which are dependent on Mongolia.

Anyone who has read the original novel knows that Zuo-Handed Knife Feng Han actually died together with the three top leaders of the Evil Sand Castle.

At this moment, Ren Bi suddenly appeared, and there might be the shadow of the evil sand castle behind him.

Lang Fanyun asked, "What does Ren Bi mean?"

Feng Han said: "As long as I surrender to the Evil Sand Castle, they will choose to release me and treat me as a guest of honor, and even make me the deputy castle lord."
