Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Shang Daoxian?" Tang Ning whispered, and then she remembered that this person was the merchant's son who he rescued when he was in the coalition army and later gave him elixirs in the Tianniu Mountains.

"Invite him in!"

"Yes." The man left in response. Not long after, a burly man with a rough face came in from outside, bowed his head and saluted: "This junior has met Senior Tang."

"No need to be polite, please sit down." Tang Ning still had a good impression of the man who once gave her pills. Seeing that he was wearing the uniform of the coalition army, she asked, "Friend Shang, are you also serving in the coalition army? Don’t know where you are?”

"The junior is currently in the fifth regiment of the sixth column of the Tenth Legion. During the legion's drill the day before yesterday, the junior saw that the senior was also in the main legion, so he took the liberty to come and disturb me. After not seeing each other for many years, the senior has actually broken through the realm of refining the void. It's really congratulations."

"I am currently the manager of the 10th Column. Speaking of which, it is all thanks to the Void Refining Pill you gave me."

"This is because the seniors are extremely talented. How can the juniors dare to take credit? Besides, given the status of the seniors, the value of a pill is nothing. Even if there are no juniors, why does it hinder the seniors at all?"

Tangning smiled and said, "Anyway, I still want to thank you for giving me the elixir and saving me a lot of effort."

"Senior's great kindness to this junior for saving his life can't be repaid with just a pill? Senior said thank you again and again, but this junior is really ashamed."

"Okay then! We don't need to say who is thanking whom. I saved you with a little effort, and you gave me the elixir to repay the favor. From now on, we will only be friends. If you have any difficulties, just tell me, you can I won’t shy away from helping you.”

"With the words of senior, the junior feels much more at ease. If he is in trouble in the future, he should ask senior for help."

The two chatted for a while, and Shang Daoxian stood up and left. When Tang Ning saw him walking away, the smile on her face gradually faded, revealing a thoughtful look.

Shang Daoxian didn't say anything in detail during his two visits. He just chatted casually, but he still felt that this person had an ulterior motive.

As soon as they met, he gave him the Void Refining Pill as a gift. He was so generous and asked for nothing, which shows that this person has lofty ambitions and is not limited to petty gains and losses.

Anyway, he didn't believe that he was just paying the favor to repay his kindness, but he didn't express his intention clearly, and he wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, he didn't suffer any loss.

………

The blue sky is as clear as water, the sea is rough, and many warships patrol the sky. On the city walls, monsters gather together, and tigers and leopards roam freely.

On Jining Island, in the majestic and majestic meeting hall, Mubei's senior officials gathered together. On the main seat, the three demon kings gathered together.

"A few days ago, the Liangzhou Allied Forces sent envoys to urge us to march into Qingzhou. Since the small defeat in Yuanxian County, our headquarters has been heavily armed and ready to go. Now that we have all the troops, and fellow Taoist Yunfei's injury has improved, the time has come. , I intend to go south to capture Qingzhou immediately, what do you think, fellow Taoists?" Qingjiao King Xuanzhen glanced at the crowd and his voice sounded like a bell.

A man with slightly white temples below said: "The last time our headquarters suffered a big defeat in Yuanxian County, we lost all our troops and generals. If we rush into the army now, we may repeat the same mistake. At the same time, the merchant alliance has raised troops to join the Qingzhou coalition, and its momentum will be even greater. I think so. Figure it out slowly.”

The Peacock King Yunfei said coldly: "I fell into a trick last time, so I was accidentally defeated by him. If two bright and upright formations faced each other, how could they both be mobs? Now that the injury has healed, the army has arrived. We will rush down to Qingzhou. The coalition forces are bound to be frightened, and Donglai County is about to fall, so why should they have any doubts? "

As soon as he finished speaking, a man with beard and cheeks answered: "Yunfei and Taoist friends Xuanzhen are right. The defeat of Yuanxian County last time was due to insufficient troops. The Qingzhou Allied Forces bullied the few with their numbers. Now all the troops from our headquarters have arrived. With this momentum, going south to capture Qingzhou is like searching for something. Qingzhou's strength has been greatly reduced after the civil strife. This is a golden opportunity. If the strength of Qingzhou's factions recovers in another few thousand years, it will be difficult to capture it. Moreover, we have already Now that we are here, how can we just sit back and watch?”

"Friend Wu Dao, what do you think?" Golden Eyed Lion King Kong Lin looked down at an old man and asked.

"I agree with the suggestions of fellow Taoists. Taking Qingzhou at this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that cannot be missed. The previous defeat was due to fellow Taoist Yun Fei underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly, not because of lack of strength. This time we attack Qingzhou and are elected. A strong and cool-headed general assumes the important task of vanguard and must never make the mistake of underestimating the enemy again. "

When the Peacock King Yunfei heard this, he was filled with anger and was about to refute. The Lion King Konglin on the side quickly stopped him with his eyes: "Then I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Wu to serve as the vanguard of this department. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

"I am too old to take on this important task. I recommend Tao Taoist Fellow to take up this position."

"Fellow Tao Dao, are you willing to serve as the frontline commander of the coalition forces?"

"Fellow Daoist Mengwu and Daoist Konglin have promoted me, but I'm afraid that I may have more than enough ambition but not enough strength."

"Fellow Taoist, you don't have to be humble. Just ask how many people you need. The coalition will give you full support."

"In this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful to Tao. The reputation of the three Taoist friends is so powerful in Qingzhou. The Qingzhou coalition forces are not afraid of Tao but only fear the three ears! Although Taoist friend Yuntian was defeated for a while and lost troops and generals, his reputation has already spread throughout Qingzhou. Up and down, if the Qingzhou coalition forces see him coming back, everyone will be frightened. I would like to ask Taoist friend Yuntian to help me. Is he willing?"

Yunfei's eyes narrowed slightly: "What do you mean, Fellow Taoist Tao, do you want me to listen to your arrangements?"

"No, Tao wants to use the reputation of fellow Daoist Yuntian to scare the rats in Qingzhou."

Kong Lin said: "I think so! Brother Yunfei and Tao Tao will jointly lead the vanguard of the coalition forces. Brother Yun Fei will be responsible for leading the troops to attack the enemy, and Tao Tao will be responsible for making suggestions. What do you two think?"

"What if Fellow Daoist Yuntian doesn't listen to the plan, and just like when he attacked Yuanxian County before, he insists on going his own way and advances with light troops?"

Yun Fei said angrily: "Yun is in control of the world. He can come and go as he pleases. Why do you need to look at people's faces? I regard the Qingzhou coalition forces as chickens and dogs. They were defeated in the first time because they were careless and underestimated the enemy. If you want to be a subordinate, it will be extremely difficult to obey what you say." Obey. Yun can take Qingzhou without your help."

The man surnamed Tao said calmly: "If this is the case, the previous Taoist friends will not be defeated by Yuanxian County."

"You... dare to compete with me?" Yuntian's eyes widened in anger, staring at the man named Tao with murderous intent.

"In terms of fighting alone, Tao is no match for fellow Taoist Yunfei, but to capture Qingzhou, it is definitely not possible for fellow Taoist alone. If fellow Taoist does not want to help, then that's it. Please forgive Tao for not being able to serve as the vanguard. job."

"Brother Yunfei, please calm down. We are discussing matters, not a life and death battle. Besides, there is no reason for one of our own to fight our own." Kong Lin said.

The old man surnamed Wu said calmly: "Although Taoist friend Yuntian is brave, he lacks in wisdom. Since Taoist friend Tao is unwilling to take on this important task, Taoist friend Xuanzhen can lead most of the vanguard."

"Brother Xuanzhen, what do you think?"

"Of course I can lead the vanguard army to attack the city, but I also need your help."

…

In Donglai County, where the 10th Army Corps was stationed, in front of the meeting hall, Tangning escaped from the light and walked straight into the inner room.

There were many people sitting inside, and the official seat was the upright Su Yuanhua, the official commander of the column.

He bowed to his commander, and then sat down on the left side. As time passed, many more people came in one after another. In addition to the column stewards, the captains of each regiment also arrived one after another. In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone had gathered at the Inside the palace.

"Today we are calling for a meeting to announce an important matter. According to the latest intelligence information, Mubei's army has once again mobilized and has left Qinghai and headed inland. The coalition forces require that from now on, all levels of troops will be on alert and all personnel will be on alert. You are not allowed to go out without any reason, you must stay in each department and wait for instructions at any time," Su Yuanhua said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other with different expressions.

After losing the battle in Yuanxian County, the Mubei demons retreated to Qinghai and enjoyed peace for decades. Now they are attacking again. It is conceivable that a bloody war will soon begin again.

"How many troops did Mubei send this time?" the steward Kong Shiming asked.

"There are four legions in Mubei's vanguard, led by King Qingjiao, and they are approaching Fenghua City."

The Green Dragon King is one of the three demon kings in Mubei. Everyone knows him. He is the head of the Blue Dragon royal family. He is as famous as the Peacock King and the Golden Eyed Lion King. He had an enemy during the last Qinghai War. Third, the brilliant record of defeating three Mahayana monks from the Qingzhou coalition forces was famous throughout the world.

Unlike the Peacock King who is arrogant by nature, the Green Dragon King is not only powerful but also steady in his actions. From an overall perspective, he is a more difficult opponent.

The Qingzhou Allied Forces lured the enemy in and defeated the Peacock King and the Mubei Demon. The reason for this was due to the arrogance and arrogance of the Peacock King who was the frontline commander of the Mubei Demon at that time.

This time, the Mubei Allied Forces changed their frontline command, and the Qingjiao King, who was steady and powerful, took on the role of vanguard general. It can be seen that they have also learned the lesson of losing troops and generals in the previous campaign. This is not good news for the Qingzhou Allied Forces.

"When will the Mubei Demon arrive?"

"With the speed at which the army is marching, it can reach Fenghua City in as little as half a year."

"Does the headquarters need support to Yuanxian County?"

"The legion has not yet been ordered. There are currently four legions in Yuanxian County. The total strength is not less than that of the Mubei legion. If reinforcements are needed, high-level monks should be sent there quickly."

"How many Mahayana monks have been sent to Mubei?"

"The specific number is not known yet. We only know that the leader is the Green Dragon King."

"With their small strength, it is too reluctant to attack Yuanxian County. King Shiyan Qingjiao acted cautiously. I think Mubei's vanguard army just wanted to take Fenghua City as a stronghold first, and then attack Yuanxian after the follow-up army arrived. county."

"When the former Mubei demon was defeated in Yuanxian County, it would be great if we could take the opportunity to capture Qinghai in one fell swoop."

"What will happen if we capture Qinghai? Mubei is powerful. Once the army moves south, it will be easy to recapture Qinghai. Don't forget, it was us who took the initiative to abandon Qinghai and retreat to the interior."

"If it weren't for the previous civil strife in Qingzhou that caused heavy casualties and greatly reduced the strength of all parties, how could the Mubei demon be so rampant."

Everyone said something to each other, and Su Yuanhua reiterated the coalition regulations, requiring everyone to stay at the headquarters and wait for the call, and not to go out.

After the discussion was over, everyone left the hall.
