Twilight Boundary

Chapter 856: Talents from all over the world

Killing and calamity entered the underworld as a bridge, and the sword used the people to kill half of the dynasty in anger.

In the Duyi Ming Palace, the ten emperor ghosts have reached the fifth hall. The collapse of the first six halls caused the billowing purple energy to return to the human world through Hu Ma's body. The vast surging phase almost submerged a huge building. Mourning Mountain.

Today's people still don't know what Hu Ma is doing, but the Imperial Master on Da'ai Mountain, everyone in the Wang family, and Lao Abacus are already stunned by this scene.

Especially the national master who was still worried just now, thinking that Hu Ma's move was not good.

He guessed that this murderous robbery would be blocked by the world's nobles, because he had dealt with these people too much before and knew how difficult it was for them to be persuaded, but he did not expect that what the reincarnated people did from the beginning , far beyond his expectation.

He was not optimistic about the reincarnated people at first, because these were outsiders and too far away from this world.

So even if they caused this massacre, the Imperial Master believed that they would only be the guides, leading the world to fall into the biggest catastrophe. As for the outcome, they didn't care.

It's like being alienated from the world and watching the bustling evil spirits in the world.

But they never expected that they not only participated in the game with their own lives, but even went so far as to sacrifice their lives for the game. How is this possible?

How could an outsider do this to the human world?

"Summer insects cannot talk to the ice, and well frogs cannot talk to the sea. Morning bacteria do not know Hui Shuo, and crickets do not know spring and autumn."

At the same time, in the Hades Hall, Hu Ma swallowed up the emperor ghosts and the civil and military officials of the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Halls, and the Dharma had also become tall and solid, with a terrifying power.

The green face and fangs showed a fierce look, and the eyes were like copper bells, but there was a kind of silence that could see all things. He was in a dream, but he seemed to be able to feel the surprise of the Imperial Master and others on the Great Ai Mountain.

The emotions in my heart were extremely complicated, and I sighed in a low voice: "This is just because you don't understand that personal interests and reputation are not the biggest pursuits..."

"The greatest pursuit is to realize your own truth..."

“…”

“…”

In the human world, when public dissatisfaction arose in the four prefectures and seven states, killing King Changping and driving Chen Toujiang into despair, the south, northwest, southwest, and north of Huzhou each had their own unprecedented patches. The excitement arose.

To the south of Huzhou, when the King of Mingzhou led his troops to attack Quzhou, Zhang Yanbei, the general on the right, stayed in the south and stationed his troops to prevent any changes in the south.

He knew very well that the safety of the food security army was on his shoulders. Once this place was taken away, the Dongshan Road area, including the hometown of King Mingzhou, would also fall into the hands of the enemy, so he did not dare to slack off for a day. Training horses and soldiers every day, and guarding them day and night.

Earlier, when King Ming attacked Menghu Pass, the Caotou Kings in the south were relatively honest. However, when this human massacre started, many more soldiers and horses suddenly came to harass them.

Lao Zhang only defended but did not attack, and he also withstood many difficulties.

The most important thing is that the Hunshi King in the south is quite friendly with the Mingzhou King, and he has helped solve a lot of troubles invisibly.

But it didn't matter, as the massacre started, the Hunshi King in the south suddenly turned his face and attacked directly with a large army. Bald Lao Zhang and his troops defending the border immediately fell into an unprecedented bitter battle.

First there was a group of strange soldiers and horses carrying bamboo rafts. They were wearing blue robes and liked to wear silver jewelry. They all carried a bamboo tube on their backs. When the two armies were close, they picked up the bamboo tube behind them and knocked it. Their own soldiers and horses immediately became dizzy. If it rises, it will be immediately covered by the opponent.

Some even returned to the camp alive, with various signs of decay on their bodies. Strange insects crawled in and out of the wounds. Not only did they become a burden, but even the people who took care of them were also affected by this disease. stained.

Then there are the hundreds of thousands of mountains in the south of Huzhou, which actually seem to be alive.

The enemy's soldiers and horses darted in and out of the mountains, like snakes returning to their caves, but as soon as their own soldiers and horses entered the mountains, they disappeared and were never heard from again.

The sky doesn't respond and the earth doesn't work. When they are discovered again, they are often hanged in the mountains in groups.

After fighting like this for more than half a month, Lao Zhang's 10,000 soldiers and horses and 30,000 civilians were all routed to death. Only less than a thousand people were left, and they retreated to a small county on the border of Huzhou, protected by the ghosts here. In the city, they didn’t even dare to risk their lives.

Lao Zhang was a man. In order to guard the gate of his hometown in Mingzhou for the king of Mingzhou, he never took a step back. Only two of his eight disciples were dead at this moment.

In order to fight against the snakes and insects summoned by the bamboo raft army, my throat was bleeding with blood, and I didn't even think about retreating.

But now, he really has the intention to retreat. In fact, there are too many strange things happening on this battlefield, and too many soldiers and horses are dying in unknown ways. If he does not retreat, the soldiers and horses under his command will die. In one door, even the master and his disciples must stay inside.

But fortunately, at this time, Aunt Zhang, the ghost ghost, and Mr. Li from Qingshi Town Zhuangzi rushed here and handed over a letter from the ghost gang. They only said that strong support was coming and asked Lao Zhang to wait patiently and wait for a few more days.

Lao Zhang also knew the importance of this place and could only grit his teeth and hold on to it.

But every day is suffering.

Now the whole army was frightened by the bamboo raft army's ability to drive snakes and insects. The whole army shivered uncontrollably when they saw a straw rope.

I even heard that King Hunshi in the south has gathered troops, claiming to number one hundred thousand, and will march to Huzhou at any time, but here, he is the only one guarding less than a thousand people...

But finally at this moment, reinforcements arrived.

First, there was a well-dressed, pretty, cute little lady, who claimed to be General Qiaoyun under the command of King Ming. She rode in a sedan chair at night and led an army of five hundred linen soldiers to arrive at night. At dawn, they entered the city to help the bald old man. Fight against the Hunshi King in the south.

When Lao Zhang saw it, he almost cried: "Mrs. Lu, I know you are very capable. You showed your skills in the battle with the evil ghost in green."

"But you only brought five hundred people here. If you include those under my command, it's only a few thousand."

"Are we going to risk our lives against King Hunshi's 100,000-strong army?"

“…”

Seeing the frustrated look of the bald old man, Diguashao just smiled and said, "Don't panic, there are still some that haven't arrived yet..."

"That one is the big one!"

"The Zuo Protector of the Red Lantern Lady Association has said that no matter what the situation is on your side, as long as that person arrives, he can definitely help us turn defeat into victory!"

“…”

Seeing how confident she was, the bald old man suddenly started to look forward to it: "Who is so powerful? Could it be that he has thousands of troops under his command?"

Amidst the anticipation of the whole army, on this day, the person they were looking forward to finally arrived. They saw a man wearing a white robe, holding a bamboo flute in his hand, riding a strange ox cart, and several bamboo baskets were pulled on the cart. , slowly and leisurely, went straight to the county government.

His eyes swept across the county government, including the soldiers and horses whose courage had been broken, as well as some of the wounded who were wailing day and night, their wounds fester for several days, and countless strange insects wormed their way in and out of the wounds.

He frowned and said: "The evil spirit in the army is indeed the weakest against Gu insects. It's no wonder that we suffered such a big loss. It's just that the Zhu family has indulged in this army and has fallen into the inferior position."

Then he raised his eyes to the Shiwanda Mountain in the south and said calmly: "Get ready and go into the mountain tonight."

"What?"

The bald old Zhang had been waiting for them with great expectations, but now he was so angry that he almost dropped the weapon in his hand.

I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon. I've been waiting for reinforcements for so long, but there are only two of them?

Our Lao Zhang was born in the world of martial arts. It’s not that he doesn’t understand the world of martial arts. He himself is a stay-at-home student. He has seen many powerful people and many strange people.

But no matter how strange a person is, facing thousands of troops, he must avoid his sharp edges. Today, such a bare-bones person has to boast to Haikou and lead his already frightened 800 troops. Go to the demon mountain and fight against the hundred thousand army of the Hunshi King?

Nonsense! Nonsense!

Not to mention obeying orders, I don’t even want to take care of this person’s food!

…

…

"If the noble master wants to kill people, will God also kill people?"

In the southwest, Yang Gong led his troops and rushed here. Everyone he saw was furious.

He led a large army, starting from Quzhou, killing all the aristocratic families and opening warehouses to store grain. However, the grain protection army only took a portion of it and kept the rest, giving the women, children, old and weak a chance to survive until the autumn harvest.

The rest of the young and strong people, those who wanted to stay, stayed, and those who wanted to go followed him.

Along the way, I didn’t know how many vicious battles were fought and how many hard bones were chewed, but when I got here, it started to become difficult to move forward.

As if God was deliberately making things difficult for them, grain carts were piled up in a pile in the middle of the army, but they were struck by thunder and a fire broke out, burning half of them.

Walking in the mountains, you will see the earth dragon turning over, rocks falling, and countless casualties. When crossing the river, the surface of the waves is flat, but big waves will rise, and countless boats will be capsized.

Even more late, in April, there was heavy snowfall, which was just a matter of cold and hunger.

In today's world, there are people who say that Yang Gong is reincarnated as an evil ghost and deserves to be punished by heaven. There are also words that Yang Gong is blessed by ghosts and gods and is invincible. But now, his line of work is difficult, with disasters everywhere and disasters at every step. The morale of the soldiers and horses was shaken.

Yang Gong was not afraid of fighting a bad fight, but he was extremely angry when he saw that these young men who had followed him voluntarily and only hoped that few people would starve to death died inexplicably for no reason.

My promise that they would not starve to death still rings in my ears, but what about now?

He protected them from being killed by those noble lords, but now they have to die under this natural disaster?

He was filled with hatred, but he had a knife in his hand, but he didn't know who to kill.

"If people don't kill people, they will kill people."

But when everyone's morale was frustrated and they were wrapping themselves in straw clothes to avoid the wind and snow, someone hugged their legs and sat on the rock next to them.

He came from elsewhere to join the army. Under Yang Gong's command, there was a small official who executed executions. He had no characteristics. Every time he chopped off a person's head, it was very clean. Yang Gong was not familiar with him.

It wasn't until this moment that I heard him sighing: "It's God who wants our lives. If we don't starve to death, we will be killed by others. If we don't get killed by humans, we will be taken away by heaven..."

"The miserable life of ordinary people will never end..."

“…”

These words seemed to move the army's heart. When Yang Gong heard it, he suddenly had the idea to run the army strictly, and he didn't know whether he should kill him.

But at a glance, I saw that there were people everywhere in the wind and snow, wearing thin clothes and looking disheveled. Looking at those listless eyes, I felt a little tired at first.

This group of people who had been saved by him from starving to death actually didn't blame themselves until now, but it was obvious that many people seemed to really start to doubt whether they were qualified to live.

And just when Yang Gongdu felt extremely tired, he rode his horse back and forth to check, but was helpless in the face of this vast natural disaster. In the rolling snow ahead, he suddenly saw a majestic temple, in the vast wind. Snow, tall and dense.

When the military advisor Tiezuizi saw it, he suddenly thought: "General, since there is a natural disaster and there is a temple ahead, why don't you go in and worship the ghosts and gods?"

Yang Gong listened, and his heart moved. He has indeed had the habit of praying to gods and ghosts since he was a child. Everyone around them, seeing the sacredness and vastness of this temple from a distance, had some hope. They were all waiting for King Ming's will. Only the man with a numb face in the distance just looked at it coldly and did not say anything. something.

Yang Gong didn't mind going in and kowtow if he could save the lives of his subordinates, but for some unknown reason, he always felt a little reluctant in his heart.

"Or, just destroy the temple and chop down the statues in the temple?"

But at this moment, a cold voice sounded in the wind and snow. Turning around, he saw a woman holding a white cat in her arms and wearing a white fox fur.

She was accompanied by the military advisor Tiezuizi and a group of disciples who did not eat cattle. There were also several men with extraordinary temperaments and carts of food and supplies. But now, she was not in a hurry to announce her identity, but looked on coldly. Ming Wang Yang Gong said:

"Nowadays, everyone in the world is saying that you, King Mingzhou, are born to be a murderer, and you are going to bring evil to this world."

"I heard that you were coming several days in advance, and the entire village fled. Seeing your misfortune, countless people in the world applauded, but I want to come here to ask you..."

"Do you really think you're guilty?"

“…”

Yang Gong gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "I just want to keep more people alive. What's the crime?"

"Exactly."

The man in fox fur nodded and said seriously: "If you believe in what you are doing, why should you be afraid of these so-called gods and ghosts?"

As she said that, she raised her head and looked coldly at the heavy snowfall in the sky with a stern look: "If the gods block your way, then they will be punished. If the gods block your way, then they will be punished. Now we are protecting the food and military progress." It's a disaster, but killing a living person by freezing is already a heinous crime!"

"I'll tie that thief here for you, and I'll declare him guilty. Do you dare to kill him with one knife?"

“…”

Yang Gong was stunned when he heard this, and felt the blood rushing into his brain.

Before he could answer, the old man squatting on the rock in the distance suddenly had a rare joy on his face. He looked up and grinned: "Someone who understands the truth..."

…

…

In the southwest, rat disease is rampant, but in this region, a certain small town is bustling with activity.

Here someone set up a stage, played with a vat, banged the clappers, walked on stilts, and had a lively party. It seems that all the tricks that can be thought of from all over the world can be found in this small town.

But the strange thing is that there are only tricks performers here, but no tricks watchers, no audience, and no rewards. Such a lonely and deserted performance lasted for three full days and finally welcomed its first audience.

All the tricksters in the town looked at him to see what his first words were and what he was doing.

But this man just walked slowly into the town with his hands behind his back.

He came to a girl who was hunched over and playing with a dozen dishes. He smiled slightly, took out a copper plate from his sleeve, and threw it in front of her.

He smiled and said: "Good job, you should be rewarded!"

…

…

In the north of Quzhou, when the whole world started to be lively, Iron Throne King Zhou Datong still looked confused.

When he was in Quzhou, he was inexplicably given such a great contribution by the Ming Dynasty King Yang Gong, and he won the Quzhou. He became famous all over the world, but he didn't know what to do next. .

After capturing Quzhou, it was time to go north to defeat King Changsheng.

But he was not sure about dealing with the victorious army that had even reached the capital. He was not sure about winning, and he had no intention of fighting. He only thought about what brother Yang Gong had done, and he did not understand the people under his command. Why not let yourself go and help him.

But it happened that at this moment, the army of King Changsheng had pressed to the border of Quzhou with a menacing force.

Zhou Datong was thinking about running away, but two people suddenly came into the tent. The opening of their mouths frightened Zhou Datong.

"I am the King of Victory."

The tall, mighty, slightly fat man said: "The man next to me is Tao Yintao, the eldest son of the Tao family in Huaibei. In the eyes."

"Oh, you are probably more familiar with his name. You all call him White Horse Silver Saddle Xiaozhi General. He never fights head-on with others, but he follows one poisonous scheme after another."

“…”

"Ah yo..."

When Zhou Datong heard this, he was completely stunned.

No, the enemy's general and military advisor came to their own tent alone when the army was approaching and they were in imminent danger?

Assassination? Or are you here to negotiate peace?

So what?

Send people directly to take them down? Or treat them to a drink?

Immediately afterwards, the two men spoke: "We also know that you are Zhou Datong, the junior brother of Mr. Zhen Zhong Hu's family. We are friends with him and we also work on the same side."

"When we meet in the future, tell him that it was Mengzhou who brought Donkey and Wujiapi here, and he will know."

As they said that, the two of them looked a little solemn. They were silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "This time, I am also discussing a major matter with you. Our soldiers and horses are all good brothers who have been led by one hand. From today on Get up and give it to you.”

“…”

Zhou Datong was even more confused: "What?"

The person next to him who called himself Wujiapi said: "Of course we have to put on a show. If you pretend to defeat us, we will surrender to you."

"But you must be nice to them. You are not afraid of war, but you can't treat them like stepmothers."

“…”

It has to be said that this whole night, Zhou Datong thought that he was dreaming. What kind of existence is the Changsheng King? There are three eleven palaces across the north, with strong soldiers and horses, invincible. Not to mention himself, it is with the addition of Yang Gong. With Shima Town, you may not be able to compete with others.

Now, two people came to his army inexplicably, and with a wave of their hands, they said that they would hand over all the 100,000 soldiers and horses under them and the land of several states to them?

I would never dare to do this in my wildest dreams. It would be more believable to say that it is for two widows...

But he didn't expect that King Changsheng was actually serious.

On the second day, the two armies started fighting. The King of Changsheng, confident of his bravery, came forward to fight with King Tiejian. Zhou Datong won inexplicably. General Xiaozhi, who was in the Changsheng army with a white horse and a silver saddle, came to fight with him. Even in a battle of wits, he is convinced that he lost.

Therefore, these two people followed the trend and surrendered. The hundred thousand victorious army was so confused that they all fell into the hands of Zhou Datong, the iron threshold king.

Zhou Datong vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say exactly because nothing was right.

And just when he, the Iron Throne King, was brave and resourceful, and defeated the Changsheng King without any bloodshed, and his momentum shook the world, but at this time, the Northland King Changxiong led only three thousand elite troops and passed through Quzhou. He only said that he wanted to get rid of the scourge of Ming Wang Yang Gong for the sake of the world.

He asked the Tiejian Army to give way, let their three thousand elite soldiers pass, and promised not to harass them.

Zhou Datong was still confused about other things, but after hearing these words, he was instantly convinced.

He yelled: "Stop it, don't even let the dog pass!"

King Changxiong saw that the Tiejian Army refused to give way, but he was not surprised. Three thousand elite soldiers opened up the formation, and a group of ten generals walked out of the formation. They each held their horses and stood in front of the formation, saying: " The two armies have no enmity at all, they are just trying to get rid of the devil."

"Since King Tiejian won't allow it, let's agree that the battle will determine the winner. If our army is lucky and all ten formations win, then we can ask King Tiejian to lend us a way. How about that?"

"Win all ten formations?"

Even Zhou Datong took a breath of air. How dare the other party speak like this?

Don’t they know that they are from the Shousui family?

In full view of the crowd, the entire army looked at him and could not respond. They could only pick up a group of generals and walked out from the army to watch from a distance.

Then he saw the people on the other side's horses, all looking arrogantly, and some of them didn't even wear armor.

But the more relaxed you were, the more frightening it became, especially the most experienced man from Shima Town, Mr. Sun. He looked at it and looked at it again. His liver was already trembling, and he shouted in a low voice: "It's bad, Chang Xiong." The king is fake, but the people who support the Zhou family are real..."

Zhou Datong also stared at the other person and became nervous.

He slowly reined in his horse and walked forward. When he reached the arena, he saw only the ten people who were out in battle. Each of them had the aura of Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi, and also had the arrogance of looking down on tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Zhou Datong is also a sectarian, but he is not too diligent in cultivation. Now he has just practiced the five internal organs and has not yet entered the mansion. Looking at Mr. Sun, he is like an ant looking at the sky. Looking at these people, he feels like he cannot understand.

There is a whole gap in the realm of entering the mansion, and the abilities in the doorway are not on the same level at all.

But with such a huge gap, Zhou Datong still managed to hold his own and walked out. The eyes of both armies were intertwined with him. At this moment, the Iron Threshold King seemed to have a wind and a sense of justice. There is no intention of returning it.

Then I saw Zhou Datong riding his horse to the arena. He suddenly turned over and dismounted, and kowtowed to the female general who was guarding the opponent's ten generals:

He shouted in surprise: "Sister-in-law, it's me, sister-in-law..."

"I am Hu Ma's junior brother..."

"You stayed in our village during the Chinese New Year and borrowed my bedding..."

“…”

"?"

Everyone in the armies on both sides was stunned by this sudden scene, especially King Changxiong's side. Everyone from top to bottom suddenly turned their attention to the only female general among the ten generals.

Miss Zhou was also confused and couldn't see her face clearly, but she was silent for a long time and slowly walked out of the military formation.

He took Zhou Datong, the Iron Throne King who was happily in the military formation, to the Iron Threshold King's army, then turned to the opposite side and said: "Let's begin!"

"Who among you will go out first?"
