I am the man who wants to be the immortal and the devil emperor

Yueyaotai said softly: "Young master is fine!"

Shi Hao stood up abruptly, hugged her by the waist, turned around and pressed her on the table.

Yueyaotai gently pushed his chest, her pretty face flushed: "Young Master..."

Shi Hao smiled and said, "Sister Yue has made you worry for so many days, now it's my turn to repay you."

Yueyao Terrace said: "Young Master...Young Master...ah..."

-

Yueyaotai felt that when she saddles the horse, the young master is the master, and she is the horse the master rides.

When the young master saddles the horse, sometimes he is in the front and sometimes behind, and she is still the same horse.

Finally, the young master restrained himself a little this time, and did not make her voice too loud like last time, making everyone listen.

At that time, the side of Yuelian Tower had basically stabilized.

The integration between Moon Lotus Tower and Mirror Flower Shuiyue Pavilion has basically stabilized, and several teachers from the Black Lotus Realm have also been sent to help. The integration of the three sects is no longer just in name.

On the Huang Tian army's side, Li Xiu'er was at the top of the Huang Tian army because of successfully repelling the menacing barbarian army. The impact of Li Ba Dao's tragic death quickly dissipated after this great victory.

This year, being able to lead everyone to victory is the last word.

And the name of "Qianlong" Shi Chongyun gradually spread throughout the country.

This time, the barbarian army marched southward in a big way, and it was bound to win. For Huang Tianjun, it was a fierce battle.

Although Li Xiu'er is the leader of Huang Tian's army, without Shi Chongyun, a self-recommended "Military Adviser", it would be difficult to achieve the current results.

Everyone knows that it was relying on Shi Chongyun to unify the Jiangnan martial arts, unite the forces of all parties, and form a powerful joint force that finally made the barbarian army return without success, and was even forced to give up such a big city as Guangling.

Guangling can be said to be the center of the southern economy, strangling the Changhe River and the southern section of the Grand Canal, both economically and geographically are extremely important.

If it weren't for the Dragon and Phoenix Society's capture of Jiangzhou, the Dongting Army began to break through the barbarian army's blockade on the Changhe, and coupled with the full-scale counterattack of all forces in the south of the Yangtze River, the barbarian army that could not capture Kuaiji began to fall into an embarrassing situation of fighting alone. Man Ting was afraid that he would not give up no matter what.

Afterwards, Li Xiuer pushed the capital directly to Guangling, and Huang Tianjun pushed to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

The territory around Poyang Lake was thus divided equally between Huang Tianjun and Longfeng Club. The two armies controlled the east and west sides of Poyang Lake respectively, and under the great righteousness of resisting barbarism, they formed a certain tacit understanding.

However, the Changhe River is a natural danger after all. Next, if the anti-barbarian forces want to make a difference, occupying the upper reaches and controlling the Dongting Army in Jingxiang has become the top priority.

This is why Xuanfeng Huanzhi keeps sending people to ask if the young master has returned.

The side of Yuelian Tower is already stable, Li Xiu'er's position in Huang Tian's army is stable, and because of this victory, she has faintly become the leader of Jiangsu and Zhejiang martial arts as a daughter.

The Evil Lotus Sect also sent several teachers to protect her, so there is no need to worry for now.

Therefore, Shi Hao let Zhi Jinhua continue to sit in Yuelian Tower, and he took Xiaofeicui, Yueyaotai, and Shalingshan by boat to Dongting Lake.

When the merchant ship left Poyang Lake and approached Jiangzhou, it encountered a water battle between the Dragon and Phoenix Society and the barbarian army.

From time to time there are corpses, boards, etc. upstream, and they can't get past them for a while downstream.

In desperation, they could only temporarily leave the merchant ship and let the merchant ship turn back.

Shi Hao and the two altar masters went ashore together with "Red Lotus Lie Yan" Zhu Pin, "Black Rui Xuan Mei" Huan Tingting, Peach Blossom Lady and Plum Blossom Lady.

Because there are still some people in Jianghu who recognize Yueyao Terrace and Shaling Fan, and Shi Hao himself traveled to Jiangnan martial arts a few days ago, and there are quite a few people who recognize him.

So on this trip, he used the shadow disguise technique to appear in front of people while maintaining the appearance of "Frenzied Sword and Demon Hero".

For this reason, I also specially got a treasure knife.

They entered Jiangzhou. Although Jiangzhou was already under the control of the Dragon and Phoenix Society, it looked lifeless and lacked the vitality shown after Guangling and Gusu were captured by Huang Tian's army.

The local people don't have much feeling about whether they are under the rule of the "imperial court" or the Dragon and Phoenix Society.

This also made Shi Hao frown...

Chapter 407 Wuwang Ghost City, A Proposal

They were located at the window on the second floor of the restaurant. Seeing the young master looking out of the window, Sha Lingfan frowned, and asked, "What is the young master worried about?"

Shi Hao said: "Once the Dongting Army starts to use troops, it will also need the Dragon and Phoenix Society and the Huang Tian Army to share the barbarian army, so that they can maintain their oppression on the north bank of the Changhe River.

"The Huang Tian army is fine. Firstly, they are under our own control. Second, they now control the lower reaches of the Changhe River and the southern end of the Grand Canal. No matter what, the barbarian army will use soldiers to guard it.

"However, the foundation of the Dragon and Phoenix Association is not stable, and I am afraid that it will inevitably become a hidden danger in the general trend of resisting barbarians. If the Dongting army attracts a large number of main forces of the barbarian army, but they still cannot take down Chaohu and Luzhou, it will be very troublesome for the Dongting army .”

Yueyaotai said softly: "Li Chenglong is also a general after all, shouldn't he be so incompetent?"

Shi Hao said: "Although he is a general, he can't twist the entire territory into a joint force. The barbarian court is brutal, and the people at the bottom suffer the most. Not only are the wealthy landlords not suffering, but many of them are the middlemen who benefit from the barbarian court's persecution of the people. By.

"And these landlords and wealthy families have their own considerations, fighting for power and profit. If things go smoothly, it's better. Once there are setbacks, it's not easy to say. And, there is actually another problem."

Yueyao Terrace said: "The young master is worried about Hong Leichi's powerful army?"

Shi Hao said: "That's right! Hong Leichi hasn't moved too much. The main reason is that he wants to sit and watch the chaos in the Central Plains first, and see how far the barbarian court and various anti-barbarian forces can fight. In addition, the Weiba army is too famous. The difference is also a reason, no matter where it goes, it will inevitably arouse violent resistance.

"But for the low-level people in Huguang, the barbarian army is brutal and the Weiba army is brutal, and they are equally indifferent to the Dragon and Phoenix Society. For these rich and powerful families, they can become the 'middlemen' of the barbarian court, and they can Become the 'middleman' of the Weiba army.

"Anyway, no matter who arrives, they will eventually be recruited. If the Dragon and Phoenix Association develops smoothly, it will be better. Once the future is hindered, these people will inevitably have ulterior motives."

Sha Ling fan said: "But Li Chenglong can't stop. As soon as the Central Plains War starts, the next thing is to see who develops faster and who develops more fiercely. If he can't make a difference, he will also be abandoned. After all He put on his identity as a descendant of the prosperous dynasty, and he kept talking about destiny and inheritance.

"Well, after all, there are some problems with the route Li Chenglong took from the beginning."

Shi Hao shook his head and said: "The key is that his territory is not the kind of place where you can stay safe. If you sail against the current, you will be cowardly if you don't make progress, and you will decline if you don't develop. And this may also lead to another problem..."

Shaling's eyes flickered, and he said: "The young master is worried that if they can't capture Chaohu and Luzhou, in order to further develop, they will have to take advantage of the Dongting army to fight fiercely in the Central Plains to resist the barbarian army and head towards Dongting Lake instead? They You can't be so stupid, can you?"

Shi Hao said: "It's hard to say! The army itself is like a giant python. Once it is dispatched, it must eat something. Although resistance to barbarism is the general trend, if they really can't beat Chaohu, in order to give themselves and their subordinates a Confession, in order to continue to maintain the so-called "aggressive" momentum, it is very possible to attack Dongting Lake while the Dongting Army's rear is empty.

"Although in the long run, this is a huge wrong move, which is beneficial to Man Ting and Hong Leichi, but at least in the short term, it will allow them to achieve results that everyone in the army can see, and create a momentum like a rainbow." sense of strength.”

He smiled and said, "Of course, this is only one of the possibilities, so don't worry too much right now."

They didn't stay in Jiangzhou much, and continued to rush to Dongting Lake.

On the way, the result of the water battle between the Dragon and Phoenix Society and the barbarian army was heard, and the situation was not very good.

After rushing to Jinghua Lake and entering Xianyue Tower, I only saw Snake Girl, but not Xuanfeng Huanzhi.

She Ji wanted to send someone to Jingzhou to invite the altar master, but Shi Hao told her not to bother.

At the moment, Zhu Pin, Huan Tingting, Plum Blossom Lady, and Peach Blossom Lady were left in Jinghua Lake, and he went to Jingzhou together with Yueyao Terrace and Sha Lingshan.

Little Jade also followed him.

Returning to his commander's mansion, he summoned Xuanfeng Huanzhi, Qimu Laodao, Li Liming, Gui Xiaoren, Wuling Sanluan and others to discuss the next move in the conference room.

Qi Mu said in an old way: "Marshal Mo, we all think that this is the best time for soldiers to enter the Huai River."

Shi Hao was sitting on the big chair. At this moment, he used the Nine Transformations of Yin Charm to make himself look big and big, with a gloomy appearance and sharp edges and corners.

The tone was peaceful, and he said, "The reason!"

Qimu said in an old way: "The barbarian army suppressed Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not only failed, but lost Guangling, Jiangzhou, and Gusu. Especially being forced to withdraw from Guangling, the barbarian court suffered a great loss.

"The Prime Minister of the Barbarian Court, Fu Tu, is scheming and prudent. Next, he will definitely abandon Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, and insist on sticking to the north bank of the Changhe River, using the Changhe River as a boundary to divide the river into governance. However, to defend the river, you must defend the Huaihe River. The Dongting Army directly threatens the upper reaches of the Huaihe River. , will be the next top priority of Manting.

"Instead of waiting for the barbarians to stabilize their position and press down on Jingxiang, we should attack the Huai River on the other hand, take advantage of their retreat in the south, and many parts of the Qinling Mountains are still covered by heavy snow, and attack the upper reaches of the Huai River.

"As long as we capture Suizhou and Gwangju and control the upper reaches of the Huai River, the barbarian army will not be able to hold on to the north bank of the Changhe River. The Dragon and Phoenix Society and the Huang Tian army will be able to go north at the same time. The anti-barbarian forces in the north will also gain momentum, and the overthrow of the barbarian court will be just around the corner. "

Shi Hao nodded and looked around: "Anyone else have any opinions?"

Xuanfeng Huanzhi said softly: "My concubine has already made many arrangements in the Huai River area. Once we start to attack Suizhou, the many villages between Changhe and Qinling Mountains, as well as many anti-barbarian forces will respond accordingly, which will definitely make the original The barbarian army, who had made a bad start in the south, was in a state of desperation.

"However, it is conceivable that the Barbarian Court will definitely not give up on the Huai River, even if we do capture Suizhou and Gwangju, we will still suppress it with all our strength, forming a world-shattering battle in the lower reaches of the Huai River.

"In this case, if the war does not start, it will be enough. Once it starts, it will basically be a decisive battle between the various forces. In the end, the barbarian emperor, the prime minister, the two servants of heaven and earth, etc. may all take action. On the black list Those people who have long been eager to make a move will most likely be involved."

Shi Hao said in a deep voice: "This is what I want everyone to know. Anyway, the barbarian court is still powerful, and there are four top-rank masters, maybe even more than four... Don't forget the one who has been hiding in the vast sea 'Blood Lion' Zong Haixiong.

"Currently, top-rank masters are actually restraining each other. Although Huaxia has several top-rank masters, they are basically fighting on their own. Among the top ten masters on the black list, Hong Leichi will not talk about it for the time being. Wu Chengtian and Ding Moshen The purple ghost dragon and the purple ghost dragon also have their own ambitions. Once the Central Plains War breaks out, they will probably take action, so we must guard against it."

Gui Xiaoren's voice was soft, like a woman's: "Devil Commander, my subordinates have found out about it! The leader of the Poison Sunflower Sect, 'Chilong Poison Sea' Wu Tianshuo, was killed, and the Poison Sunflower Sect suffered heavy casualties. It should be Ding Moshen The four generals under your seat."

Shi Hao remained calm on the surface, but he thought quickly in his heart: "The Poison Sunflower Sect? Why did Ding Moshen send for the Poison Sunflowers? Hmm... Could it be that he wants to annex the Hanshui League?"

Xuanfeng Huanzhi looked around, and suddenly said: "I have the latest news about Ding Moshen. I wonder if you have heard of Wuwang Ghost Market?"

Qimu Laodao, Li Yiming and Gui Xiao all changed their faces.

Wuling Sanchao and the other generals looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what it was.

Shi Hao didn't want to make himself, the magic commander, appear too ignorant, so he still kept his face as cold as water.

But he quickly searched the memory in his mind... He had indeed heard of "Wuwang Ghost City" somewhere.

Immediately afterwards, I remembered that it was at the Hongqiu meeting, someone sold a ticket for three people to enter Wuwang Ghost City, and that ticket was worth 200 taels.

The ticket was later bought by Xiaoyan, and when she opened her mouth to buy it, Taoist Tieyu directly warned her not to go to that kind of place if she had nothing to do.

Xuanfeng Huanzhi explained to the generals: "Wuwang Ghost City is an extremely secret place in the underworld in the north. There are countless devils, bandits, and robbers gathered in it. There is a huge black market hidden there. You can trade in it, as long as you can afford the price.

"Entering the Wuwang Ghost City requires tickets, and the tickets are expensive. In addition, if there is no room for you in the martial arts, you can also go in directly and sell yourself to the Wuwang Ghost City. Anyone will accept it, and anyone will dare receive.

"No one is allowed to kill people in Wuwang Ghost City. Once an exception is made, they will definitely not be able to leave alive. It is a paradise for bandits, and it is also a hell for bandits. I don't know how many people get rich overnight in it, and I don't know how many people Stuck in it, forced to sell themselves, and become slaves in the ghost market."

Qimu's expression changed: "Mrs. Fengzhi suddenly mentioned Wuwang Ghost City at this time. Could it be that she has found out the owner behind it?"

Xuanfeng Huanzhi said: "It is Ding Moshen!"

Li Yanming frowned: "It's not surprising! Wuwanggui City can be so big and so strong, there must be top-ranking masters behind it. We have guessed before that the owner of Wuwanggui City is not Wucheng God, even Ding Moshen, it's just a proof now."

Xuanfeng Huanzhi said: "In the past, Wuwang Ghost City was just a paradise for thieves to sell their stolen goods. It was the last chance and desperation for desperadoes to flee. But now, Wuwang Ghost City has begun to take action. In Xishu, Guanzhong and other places, there are many gangsters. The gang was forced to surrender to Wuwangguishi, and if there were any dissatisfied, they would be slaughtered by Wuwangguishi.

"This wave of martial arts changes has swept through very quickly. Up to now, many underworld gangs have been forced to surrender to Wuwang Ghost City. It is precisely because Wuwang Ghost City used to be hidden in the dark, but now it has begun to appear on the surface and openly develop. Only then can we find out the relationship between it and Ding Moshen, and confirm that Ding Moshen is the real owner of Wuwang Ghost City."

The old Qimu sighed: "Wuwang Ghost City has always harbored filth and evil people. There are even many criminals who are famous on the black list, but they are actually hidden in Wuwang Ghost City. A considerable force, now openly on the table, Ding Moshen is obviously aiming to dominate the martial arts world."

Shi Hao glanced at Xuanfeng Huanzhi, and said in a deep voice, "Has the Hanshui League been attacked by Wuwang Guishi?"

Xuanfeng Huanzhi said: "Not yet."

Shi Hao nodded slightly: "The Poison Sunflower Sect is actually behind the Hanshui League, and there is a connection between the Poison Sunflower Sect and Hong Leichi. However, the Poison Sunflower Sect's plan to use the Hanyang Gang to swallow Bashan has long been Some time later, Sheng Menghui was defeated in Chuyin when he was stopped by the 'Qianlong' Shi Chongyun.

"The evil spirit and the poisonous deity of the Poison Sunflower Sect died in Wu Gorge. Now the 'Chilong Poison Sea' Wu Tianshuo was also killed. The strength of the Poison Sunflower Sect has been greatly reduced and the losses have been heavy. The Hanshui League has almost lost the Poison Sunflower Sect. Rely on, Hong Leichi's influence is far away in the south of the Five Ridges, and it hardly helps Xiong Wanghu, the 'Hu Qing Dao Xia'.

"Ding Moshen attacked the Poisonous Kui faction, but did not touch the Hanshui League. It seems that he wants to completely take over the territory and strength of the Hanshui League, and subdue Xiong Wanghu."

Ghost Howler said darkly: "If the Hanshui League falls into the hands of Ding Moshen, we will be in danger."

Shi Hao said: "Ding Moshen is very ambitious, and Bai Dao headed by Yue Panlong and Yun Caiyao should not sit idly by. No matter what, that is not our top priority now. The most important thing now is to conquer Suizhou first. "

"In this battle, once troops are dispatched, we can only win, not lose!"

The generals responded with a bang.

After the meeting ended, Shi Hao continued to discuss with Xuanfeng Huanzhi, Yueyaotai, and Shalingshan in the study.

The three altar masters gathered again.Xuanfeng Huanzhi said: "Young master, Ding Moshen was originally a member of the demonic way. Now that he has killed the leader of the Poison Sunflower Sect, the next step is very likely to target our evil lotus sect. Young master, you may also be them The goal must be guarded against."

Shi Hao took two steps in front of the book case: "If I were Ding Moshen, even if I annexed the Hanshui League, I would definitely take action against the Dongting Army's 'Magic Commander' after the Huaishui War is over, otherwise it would be tantamount to helping Barbarians. People like Ding Moshen will not go to surrender to the barbarian court. In the long run, this person is the enemy of our evil lotus sect, but in the short term, there should be no need to worry too much."

Xuanfeng Huanzhi said: "Although it is such a guess, it must not be careless. Top-ranking masters are involved with each other, and it is unlikely that Ding Moshen will personally act, but the four generals under his command and Wuwang Guishi are not easy to mess with. "

Looking at Yueyao Terrace and Shaling Fan: "You two will follow the young master from now on, and you must never leave your post without permission."

Yueyao's table was as cold as water: "You don't need to talk about such things."

Shaling shook her fan and smiled, "I do have a suggestion about this."

Xuanfeng Huanzhi and Yueyaotai looked at Shaling Fan at the same time.

Sha Ling fan smiled and said: "Looking at you like this, you have actually thought of it, but you are embarrassed to tell the young master! Oh, why bother? Although the young master is a man, he is also our own, and he will definitely not see outsiders. ! Besides, it's not like the three of you and I were touched by the young master before."

Chapter 408

Shi Hao looked at the three altar masters and said, "What's going on?"

Sha Ling fan Yan looked at Mei Xing, covered her face with the fan, and looked shy: "Young master, have you ever heard of 'three lotus converging Yin, splitting Qi and converging'?"

Shi Hao asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

He looked around, at the moment Xuanfeng Huanzhi, with a high bun, wearing a phoenix crown, and a long emerald green dress, was tall and slender.

She is slightly older than Yueyao Terrace, but she is not much older, but she is more dignified and stable than the other two altar masters.

She is fair-skinned, with a slender figure, taller than the other two altar masters.
