Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 159

As soon as she spoke, a golden mist quickly appeared on her tender and tender skin, and a low-pitched roar sounded from her abdomen, buzzing and vibrating continuously, and a flash of golden light burst out in an instant.

Seeing this unbelievable scene, everyone's complexion changed drastically, and they retreated one after another, exclaiming in horror: "Natural mother and child golden silkworm Gu, I didn't expect Master Lan to actually raise it."

Looking at the retreating crowd, the strange blood red in the little girl's eyes became even brighter. The bloodthirsty pupils made people tremble when they heard it. There was a shriek that filled the room with golden light, and countless screams were heard. The voice was shrill and painful. in the bones.

All the people in the mountain noticed the changes in the house at this time, and they turned their eyes to the top of the mountain, only to see the golden light flash and disappear, and everyone felt cold all over, thinking of an ancient legend, when the sky is full of golden light, the demon god Awakening, all surrender, and the demon god will lead them to glory.

Now this is just a child's play legend, but it is clearly engraved in the minds of everyone. Fear, trembling, excitement, all kinds of emotions are mixed together, no longer caring about the prohibition imposed by the clan, they walked up the mountain one after another, wanting to check it out.

In the huge house, people were standing inside and out, only a few elders in the house came out with decrepit expressions, one was still walking, but his body was drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was a click. There was a soft sound, the sound of bones breaking, and then the sound became louder and louder, and his body collapsed to the ground with a bang, shattered into coke-like pieces.

Those with lesser injuries walked a few more steps, only to hear a low roar, and the few old people who came out vomited blood unanimously and fell to the ground.

Faced with such a terrifying scene, everyone held their breaths and concentrated, but no one was so frightened that they wanted to leave. Instead, they looked at the room curiously and expectantly. When a demon god descends into the world, sacrifices are needed. These elders are the inheritance of the clan, so naturally It is also the best sacrifice.

There was only a little girl standing proudly in the room, her eyes closed tightly, her slender black eyelashes fluttering constantly, as if she was trying to open her eyes.

"This is Master Lan's daughter..." The old man called Ah Mo came out slowly at this time, holding a bloody hatchet in his hand, and said to everyone in a cold voice: "Kneel down quickly, Meet High Priest Blue Rain."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although there were many seedlings and not much contact with the Han family, they knew about Lord Lan's daughter, Lan Yu, and half of them were of the Han family's blood. Gu appeared, killed the most prestigious group of people in the clan, and naturally became another high priest after Master Lan.

It's just that the high priest is too young now, but with the Golden Silkworm Mother Gu, who dares not to obey orders.

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed, "I pay homage to Master Lan."

The entire hillside was full of people kneeling, kowtowing unanimously towards the middle of the house, and there was a roar of cheers like a tsunami.

The old man looked at the unconscious Lan Yu with his eyes closed, with a yellow waxy and withered old face, he smiled happily, like an old chrysanthemum, and whispered: "Miss, this old slave lives up to expectations, please sit on the little lady." Assuming the position of leader of the nine surnames and eighteen families, one day, my Miao family will be prosperous and a new country will be established."

But Zhu Gan didn't know that at this time, the various minority clans were already ready to move, and the minions dominated by ambition had quietly appeared, waiting for a certain day to choose someone to devour. At this time, he was inquiring about the Chongqing Mansion .

The few generals from Sichuan who stayed in Chongqing at the beginning led the rebellion. Zhu Qian led the Miehou battalion and directly incited the people below to take back Chongqing City. However, those led by Deng Qi jumped into the sea of ​​fire and were burned to death. But because these people For what they did, Zhu Qian only punished a few chief culprits, not only promised that as long as their land was not seized by force, they would keep it with their descendants, but also did not pursue the crimes of the subordinate generals.

Instead, they left all these surrendered generals in Chongqing Mansion and put them under the temporary command of Qin Liangcheng. Unexpectedly, Qin Liangcheng was so powerful that they defeated the vanguard of the Huguang soldiers led by Li Mingyang. Following the footsteps of Sun Chengzong's entry into Sichuan, Zhu Qian can deal with Qin Liangyu with peace of mind.

"Teacher Sun is too powerful. It's really amazing to form a large army so quickly when there is a shortage of soldiers and pay." Zhu Qian looked at Lu Xiangsheng who was silent below, and saw that he was not interested, and he didn't know what he was thinking. What, suddenly his tone changed, and he sighed: "It's just a pity, Mr. Sun is already old, if he can be ten years younger, the red-clothed army is probably in danger."

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Lu Xiangsheng immediately attracted Lu Xiangsheng's attention. He turned his head and looked at Zhu Qian in puzzlement. .

Zhu Gan didn't have the appetite to challenge Lu Xiangsheng, so he laughed and said, "The older you are, the less courageous you are. This is very reasonable. Sometimes God's will is irreversible, but Teacher Sun can do it. Among the irreversible wills of God, find a way The most likely way to go against the sky, he is majestic, good at management, and good at commanding troops, but he is old after all, and the court does not have so much extra money for him to suppress bandits. What he can do is to do his best Do your best to form an army that can compete with the Red Clothes Army, this is the safest way, so he will hold back for a long time."

"He's old, and he's destined to lose the courage to act desperately. Even if he had him, he wouldn't risk state affairs. Therefore, in this battle, we should fight fast and slow so that he doesn't have time." Zhu Gan suddenly slapped the table and stretched his body. Then, a cold light flashed across his majestic eyes, and the first thing to do was to defeat Qin Liangyu's stone pillar soldiers.

Looking at the arrogant Zhu Gan, Lu Xiangsheng felt an unreal feeling in his heart. The same was true for him above the court, but he was a little more suspicious and a little less domineering. Today, he has experienced many battles. , and even more so personally experienced the battle, every move and every move has a bit of arrogance to break the world, and even has the heroic courage to surpass Taizu and Chengzu.

perhaps!This is really a way out for Daming, Lu Xiangsheng himself doesn't know it, his heart has already begun to loosen.

"Jiutai, the Longzitou Cavalry Battalion will be handed over to you. It will be a decisive battle under the city of Chengdu. We must win. Anyone who dares to block, no matter white clouds or dark clouds, will sweep away all the haze for Ming Dynasty." Zhu Ganhu closed his face slightly, his eyes shining brightly Zhan, looking down at Lu Xiangsheng who was kneeling on the ground, said in a low voice.

Lu Xiangsheng was startled, regardless of white clouds or dark clouds, anyone who stands in his way will be wiped out. This may be too harsh, but it is the truth of the ages, that's why there are so many cunning rabbits and lackeys. The tragedy is not that the ruler's heart is cold, but that if history wants to be wonderful, it needs the sacrifice of blood and dry bones.

First of all, regardless of the evaluation in the history books, whether to be a minister of the new dynasty, or a loyal minister of the old dynasty to decay together, Lu Xiangsheng used to have incomparable contradictions in his heart, but now it gradually becomes clear. He died for the country and kept the festival, and then surrendered in order to be loyal to the emperor and righteousness. He did it all, and he has no regrets in his heart.

Now it is necessary to make a thorough choice, a knife or two with the past, but he has already voted for the Red Army, can he change it?Whether it is notoriety or good reputation, they have already been burdened. If you don’t work hard to do something for the country, sweep out a piece of blue sky for the people, and rebuild a clean and vibrant dynasty for the king, how can you be worthy of your own conscience and be worthy of your own conscience? Books of sages.

With a decision in his mind, Lu Xiangsheng had no reservations. He often bowed his head, knocked his head heavily on the floor, and sang: "My minister obeys the order and vows to coexist with the city of Chengdu. The city is alive and the city is broken and the people are dead."

"Okay! I have Jiutai to help me, my great fortune, the great fortune of the people, and the great fortune of the country." Zhu Gan stepped forward excitedly and helped Lu Xiangsheng up himself. He could clearly feel the changes in Lu Xiangsheng, as if he had let go of all the burdens. , becoming relaxed, no longer depressed, and full of energy.

Zhu Gan left only one soldier in the city to suppress the people, and then took all the troops away. Obviously, he did not intend to confront the government and the army for a long time. The entire country of Ming Dynasty belonged to him, and others could defeat him. But you can't lose, you have to clean up as soon as possible, and let the people go home to recuperate and farm.

The [-] elite red-clothed army rushed to the outside of the city in a mighty manner. Cannons, firecrackers, and crossbows, almost all kinds of weapons that could be used and had greater lethality were brought. The red iron-blooded sword flag, the red The cotton armor, and the red cloak, everything is as red as blood.

There was also the rare sun in spring. At this time, the setting sun was setting, and the burning clouds dyed a large area red. The morale of the red army was high, and they set up a camp at the foot of a small hill a few hundred miles away from the plain of Chengdu.

In the mountains not far away, there is a mountaintop. This is the place where the army and the army gathered together. At this time, because of the harassment from the small group sent by the red army, the officers and soldiers were exhausted. Now they finally arrived at Chengdu Mansion, and they saw it not far away. The red-clothed army at the place, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately became alert, knowing that there would be a big battle next.

The next day, just after dawn, I heard the rumble of drums and horns shaking the sky among the red-clothed soldiers. I saw the red-clothed soldiers divided into three groups, coming towards the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers set up camp along the hillside, condescending to see the purpose of the red-clothed army at a glance, surrounded by two roads on the left and right, and attacked in the middle. When they saw this, many officers and generals panicked and went to ask Qin Liangyu for instructions. .

Qin Liangyu stood on top of a boulder, with the cloak behind him fluttering, looking at the blood-red team, they actually had the power to oppress people's hearts, and a complicated violent emotion surged in her heart, which made her very uneasy. The momentum of the soldiers has become so powerful in a short period of time.

Glancing back at the anxious generals, he said in a calm voice: "Okay, we have the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people, so why panic, let the people below put out the general cannon and the Franc cannon, and blast them for a while first." ..."

The calm words seemed to have magical powers, which made the generals feel more at ease.
