The world worships me as the White Snake Immortal

Chapter 109
Ten months later, the army returned to Taichang. Yang Chang, who had fully recovered, sat in the center of the military formation in a dragon chariot.

At this time, he was not the only one in the dragon chariot, and Li Ji was also included.

Snapped!
Yang Chang threw the memorial in his hand heavily on the carriage board of the dragon chariot. The memorial jumped a few times on the carriage board covered with thick velvet carpet, and finally landed in the corner.

"This is unreasonable, Cui Congwu, how dare he go against the will of the First Emperor!"

Yang Chang cursed angrily with a gloomy expression.

That's right, after Cui Congwu withdrew his troops, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor at the border. He refused to admit his guilt and mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers to station at the border between the Sui and Zhou Dynasties, obviously intending to mount a stubborn resistance.

No wonder Yang Chang was furious.

Li Ji, who was sitting next to him, stretched out his hand to grab it, and the memorial on the ground fell into his hands.

He opened it and read it without any scruples, then put the memorial back next to Yang Chang and said with a smile: "Cui Congwu is a reckless man. He doesn't know the legend of the First Emperor. It's no wonder he would do such a thing. Don't worry, Your Majesty, within half a year , the Great Zhou Dynasty will be defeated without any attack, but what really worries me is the elusive monk!"

"You mean Jiang Zhi?"

Yang Chang was attracted by Li Ji's words and stopped thinking about the Great Zhou Dynasty for the time being.

After he recovered from his injury, he learned about the results of the next few battles from everyone's mouths.

The deceased Chu Hefu was posthumously named Zhongyong Hou, and several dead military disciples were also entrusted with their respective titles, and were sent back to the military academy for burial with their merits.

And the mysterious monk Jiang Zhi, who appeared and disappeared inexplicably, naturally came into Yang Chang's field of vision.

Li Ji nodded and said: "After that battle, I sent a message to the sect, asking them to investigate this monk named Jiang Zhi, but the reply from the sect to me was that no one named Jiang Zhi was found. , Yunzhou, Tiandu, Huaihe and other large clans with the surname Jiang have no monks who look similar to Jiang Zhi, it seems that this person has never appeared in the eyes of others!"

It's not surprising that Li Ji felt weird. In fact, the military strategist's information network was very complicated, and they basically had spies all over the world.

If they can't find any clues about Jiang Zhi, it only means that Jiang Zhi does not exist at all.

For this reason, the military strategist also specially mobilized an old spy who had been lurking in Dazhou for decades. Unfortunately, the other party also claimed that he had never seen Jiang Zhi.

This is strange. Jiang Zhi appeared in Dazhou, but Dazhou's spies didn't see him.

However, their investigation was not completely fruitless. If Jiang Zhi couldn't find it, he could always find the things around him.

For example, that armored centipede!

Under the investigation of the military strategists, the news about the armored centipede was quickly found.

According to the reply, this armored centipede was not a native product of the Sui Dynasty, but came from the farther away Laoshan area.

About half a year ago, this inconspicuous armored centipede mysteriously disappeared. When it reappeared, it had been named a national guardian beast by the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There are many records of monster warriors in the Second Realm of Demons like this, but none of them are taken seriously.

If it weren't for the purpose of checking the origin of the Iron-Armored Centipede, they probably would never touch that file in their lifetime.

After all, they still have many great demons above the Third Demon Realm to keep an eye on.

Li Ji was worried that Jiang Zhi would suddenly appear again and bring an unimaginable crisis to the Sui Dynasty, while Yang Chang was worried that Jiang Zhi would join the Great Zhou Dynasty and help them resist the Sui cavalry.

The two of them were thoughtful. After a while, Yang Chang suddenly patted the armrest of the seat and said coldly: "I have decided. Since Cui Congwu is unwilling to hand over the city, then I will fight him until he does. However, I still have to trouble Li Congwu about this matter." Senior takes action!"

Li Ji nodded when he heard this, but then asked: "Is it necessary? We only need to wait up to half a year, and the First Emperor will let them surrender obediently!"

"Changes will happen later. I am worried about Jiang Zhi. He is elusive and his purpose is unknown. I am afraid that he will bring some way to reverse the situation for Da Zhou!" Li Ji felt that there was no need to worry about Yang Chang.

Yang Chang has never seen the power of the First Emperor. As long as someone violates the oath in his name, the final outcome will be the destruction of the country and the people, and no one can change it.

Li Ji had witnessed this scene with his own eyes, so he had no doubts about the First Emperor's ability.

But he also knew that once such a worry appeared in the mind of a king like Yang Chang, he would think about it day and night, and over time it might become the root of his illness.

So he didn't try to persuade her any more, but silently nodded in agreement.

The so-called master monks in Dazhou were like nothing to him, and killing them was simply not easy.

His impact on the battlefield was even greater.

As long as he is here, no matter how the Sui army loses, he can give them the answer.

To put it bluntly, with Li Ji here, Sui Dynasty is almost invincible!

Not to mention that Sui Dynasty and Dishan were also helping out at this time.

The destruction of the Great Zhou Dynasty is just a matter of time.

Soon they entered Taichang City, and Li Ji also wisely left the dragon chariot.

At this time, the veil around the dragon chariot has been lifted, making it easier for Yang Chang to greet the people on both sides of the street.

Before that, many people had heard the news of the Sui Dynasty's victory, and were preparing to welcome the return of the army on both sides of the main road long before the army returned to the court.

As the first soldier holding the banner high entered the city, many people suddenly shouted.

Accompanied by the sound of roaring mountains and tsunami, the dragon chariot Yang Chang rode slowly entered the city.

Facing the shouts of many people, Yang Chang also smiled and raised his hand to greet them cordially.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Chang did not deliberately hide his broken left arm during this process.

When the common people saw that more than half of Yang Chang's left sleeve was empty, they were stunned.

They didn't know the news about Yang Chang's broken arm, so they were so surprised.

Not long after, Yang Chang's dragon chariot crossed the street and returned to the palace.

Many people began to discuss privately, speculating why Yang Chang's arm was gone.

At this moment, in a teahouse next to the street, a storyteller wearing a small crown slapped Xingmu hard, attracting everyone's attention to him.

Then he spoke in a decent manner, and his first sentence was: "Dear guests, I have heard a little bit about Your Majesty's broken arm. Come on, come on. You might as well sit down, drink a pot of tea, have some snacks, and listen to me - —Tell me carefully!"

Snapped!
There was another sound of waking up, and everyone outside the door also entered the teahouse with hesitation, and soon it was full of people.

Seeing the crowd of guests, the storyteller smiled slightly and began to tell the story of the bloody eleventh battle.

I thought he was just a charlatan with a business gimmick, but I didn't know that what this man said was exactly what he saw with his own eyes, and he vividly led everyone into a thrilling battle.

In his sometimes impassioned and sometimes tragic narration, he unknowingly emptied the money from the tea guests' pockets!
