Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 421 Assassination, the trick of witchcraft

On the Yuanjiang River, the shouts of killing have gradually subsided.A group of masters from hundreds of schools either died or were captured, or turned around and fled, only to be chased and killed by masters from Yun Kingdom.

However, Feng Chu and Gong Yingzong, who led the assassination behind the scenes, still stood where they were, and did not choose to evacuate.

Seeing Xiao Cheng make a move with his own eyes, the cultivation base that can almost coerce the world's masters with his own strength, put a heavy burden on the hearts of the two of them.

"Emperor Yun, must be killed!" Feng Chu said quietly.

If Xiao Cheng survived today, and then returned to the palace, under the guard of the forbidden army and the master priests, to assassinate him, then don't even think about it!

With Xiao Cheng's tactics, martial arts and resourcefulness, and Yun Kingdom's current national strength and power, Xia Kingdom will fall sooner or later!

Gong Ying nodded when she heard the words, turned her head to look in the shadow of the dense forest behind her, and said in a deep voice:

"Daozhang Zhuyou, are you sure?"

In the shadows, a figure slowly walked out.

Thin figure, pale face, sunken eye sockets, cheekbones visible on the face.With dry fingers, like chicken feet, a Taoist who couldn't tell the age came to the two of them.

Although this Taoist is wearing a black Taoist robe.

But to say that this is a Taoist robe is just a similar style of clothing.On the taoist robe, on the back of the original embroidered Taiji diagram and Bagua diagram, there is a ghost-faced skull embroidered impressively, which makes people shudder just by taking a look.

"My Yinshan sect's methods are hard to defend against. No matter how superb the martial arts of Emperor Yun are, he will dominate the world, and it will be difficult to guard against..."

The hoarse and deep voice and the sinister expression gave this Taoist of the Yinshan sect even more ghostly aura.

Feng Chu looked at Zhu You, a Taoist from the Yinshan School, and suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and said in a deep voice:
"Since it was specially invited by Mr. Gong, I completely entrusted it to the Taoist priest... As long as I can succeed tonight, I will tell my majesty at the meeting, please make the Yinshan sect one of the main lines of Taoism, give the golden seal Taoist book, and choose a famous mountain. Dachuan built the Golden Temple of Taoism."

Hearing this, Zhu You gave Feng Chu a gloomy look, and said:
"In that case, please, my lord, let me wait for the means!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a rustling sound behind Zhuyou.

A dozen or so disciples of the Yinshan sect, all wearing the same ghost-faced Taoist robes, were holding bronze candlesticks in their hands, and sat cross-legged on the ground with strange bursts of hair.

Taoist Zhuyou walked quickly into the formation, and immediately waved his sleeves.

There was a sound of "huh", the skirts of the clothes flicked, and the disciples of the Yinshan School surrounding the Taoist, the bronze candlestick with a strange shape in their hands, which looked like a painfully twisted human figure, suddenly lit up.

The faint green light, just like the will-o'-the-wisp lights up in the underworld, reflected the surroundings like ghosts.

Zhuyou's sunken eye sockets were full of sinisterness.His right hand, which looked like a few withered chicken paws, grabbed it suddenly, and when he retracted again, there was already a golden light in his hand, spinning around in his palm.

The disciple at the side quickly handed over a puppet.

Zhu You suddenly patted the golden light in his hand into the puppet.In an instant, the humanoid puppets became a bit more lively, unlike ordinary clay sculptures and wood carvings.

Although no specific face was engraved, but looking at the puppet's attire wearing a crown, imperial robes, and an emperor's sword, as well as Zhu You's previous movements, he knew that this puppet was Xiao Cheng!
Gong Ying threw her body slightly towards Feng Chu, and said in a deep voice beside him:

"600 years ago, the Ailao Kingdom was destroyed and the Yun Kingdom was established. The original palace warlocks of the Ailao Kingdom did not follow the Ailao clan to escape into the mountains, but took the initiative to seek refuge with the ancestor of the Yun Kingdom."

"But I didn't want to. The Taizu of Yunguo hated these evil spells. He beheaded those who did evil because of them, and expelled all the rest. , flowed into the Central Plains, merged with the veins of Taoist ghosts and gods, and finally became the Yinshan School!"

Hearing this, Feng Chu's eyes sank, and he said in a voice that only two people could hear:
"I know! In the Jinglong Dynasty more than 100 years ago, there was a great commotion at that time, which affected nearly half of the courtiers, clansmen and honorable palace witches, and there was a shadow of the Yinshan School..."

It was also after that that the Yinshan School was officially expelled from the Taoist lineage.

Gong Yingzong heard the words, and immediately understood the serious worry in Feng Chuyu's words, she smiled and shook her head with deep meaning in her eyes.

The so-called promise of respecting Taoism as the main line and building the golden temple of Taoism was made by the two of them, and it was not the Emperor Xia of Jinling City.

It's a thing that can't be put on the table, and it's disposed of when it's used up, so there won't be any big trouble...
-
At this time, on the dragon boat.

"Your Majesty, the slaves have already gone to ask about it. Although Lady Zhaoyi was disturbed, she was fine. Some court officials were just frightened... Ah, except for two courtiers who stumbled into the ground because of panic. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Imperial Army came to the rescue in time, and only drank a few mouthfuls of river water." Feng Bao reported to Xiao Cheng.

A group of experts from hundreds of schools came for Xiao Cheng, no one paid attention to the accompanying concubines, palace servants and courtiers.Coupled with the guards and guards arranged by Xiao Cheng before, the sticky pole, and the East Factory, naturally there is no surprise.

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng raised his head slightly and said:

"Let the accompanying imperial doctors prepare some soothing decoctions. You can send someone to tell them that if anyone is still in shock, we can arrange for the imperial army to escort them back to the capital."

"Yes!"

Feng Bao bowed his head in response, and immediately continued to report:

"In addition, on the assassin's side, five people have been captured alive..."

"Let's talk about casualties first!" Xiao Cheng interrupted directly.

When Feng Bao heard this, he paused first, and then said in a slightly low tone:

"These assassins are all highly skilled in martial arts. The Forbidden Army and the priests of the Yamen suffered heavy losses. The left and right Longwu camps and the left and right Shenwu camps all suffered about [-]% casualties."

"Eight second-class bodyguards and three first-class bodyguards were executed by the sticky pole, and the envoy Yiwei who accompanied him was seriously injured. Hundreds of households in Dongchang were killed in battle, and Zi and Shen's second division leaders were seriously injured..."

After the great change of the world, the soldiers and horses of the army formation were blessed by the vision of the army, and they could form a certain degree of suppression when facing the enemy army and warriors.

However, the imperial army of Yun Kingdom is well-trained, and under the personal leadership of Sun Bin, Wu Qi and other four people, they made full use of the skill of killing and conquering the army formation. Rank nine.

But in the final analysis, when the world had not changed before, the ninth-level master was able to lead a small number of elites to charge against the enemy's formation and directly kill more than ten thousand troops head-on.

Even now, if you want to forcibly besiege and kill them with the help of the vision of the army, you must pay a considerable price!

Hearing that there were [-]% casualties, Xiao Cheng was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice:

"In response to casualties, let the court pay more attention to compensation. Those who cannot continue to serve due to injuries will be placed in the local government as officials according to their previous positions. Those who died in the war still have their parents, wives and children at home. They can make their nephews, nephews, To serve in the Forbidden Army... You will allocate 5 taels from the palace treasury to pay extra for these loyal and brave men!"

Feng Bao nodded in response, and then continued:

"A total of 14 assassins came, eight of them were dead, and four of them were captured. The two assassins from the land fairyland were also among them. Their acupoints were sealed and they were put under guard. Two other people escaped. Wailang Huangshang, member of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Yuanfang, lieutenant of the Forbidden Army, have already gone to arrest them!"

Zhuang Zhuan of Taoism and Lian Yixiu of Legalism, these two are masters of the land gods and wonderlands, Xiao Cheng is not willing to let them escape.Seeing that the situation was not good and the masters of all schools were about to evacuate, Xiao Cheng made a direct move and severely injured the two of them with two swords. This is how they were captured!
Xiao Cheng heard the words, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Bring it up, let me see you!"

"Yes!"

Feng Bao hurriedly turned around and went to make arrangements. Not long after, Zhuang Zuan, Lian Yixiu, Shen Qin of the Mo family, and another master of the Hundred Schools, whose acupuncture points were sealed and bound with fine steel cables, were taken to Xiao Xiao by the imperial army. In front of you.

Xiao Cheng was condescending, casually glanced at the four people in front of him, and asked in a deep voice:

"Want to die or live?"

Hearing Xiao Cheng's words, Lian Yixiu snorted coldly and turned his head slightly.Zhuang Zhuan's expression was indifferent, and he didn't look sideways, as if he didn't hear it.Seeing that the people around him all looked like this, the unknown master of a hundred schools couldn't help but smacked his lips and lowered his head bitterly.

The Mo family Shen Qin, at this time even more cursed, saying:
"Hmph, hypocrisy! Emperor Yun, you have committed many atrocities. Even if I fail to assassinate you today, in the future, there will be a steady stream of righteous men from all over the world to come and wipe out the heavens. I hate my "God of Heaven" organ beast How many incomparably exquisite and powerful organs have been set up on your body! Just because you saw a flaw, and before you can use it, you cut off the place where the black stone is inlaid..."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng didn't get angry, but interrupted suddenly:
"What atrocity did I do?"

Since ascension to the throne, Xiao Cheng admits that he has not committed any acts of violence.

The court and the army have been cleaned many times, but that is only the killing of those who deserved their crimes, and the rest of them have never been blamed.Censoring Buddhism is because they don't practice clear rules and precepts, and they try to peek at the magic weapon.

And Emperor Xia Yu Zhaoling, when he was King Qi, didn't he lead the army arbitrarily and slaughter the southwestern generals?When he first became the prince, didn't he personally cleanse the ministers who were in dispute between the court and the middle party?

In addition, Xiao Cheng lightly pays taxes and pays more attention to agriculture and mulberry.Rectify the administration of officials and appease the people.Even when there was an epidemic in the southwest of Xia Kingdom, it was Xiao Cheng who took the initiative to lend a helping hand.

If it is said that such atrocities are numerous, then what kind of king is not a tyrant?

When asked by Xiao Cheng, Shen Qin hesitated for a while, then hummed:

"You used swords recklessly to take the land of the seven counties of Daxia..."

"But which time, it wasn't your country Xia that launched the army first?"

Xiao Cheng's words blocked Shen Qin who was filled with righteous indignation.

Previously, between the two countries, the state of Yun was weak, while the state of Xia was strong.

Every time there is a war, it is not because Xia Guo is confident and slowly raising his army in order to contain Yun Guo.But every time at the end, the army is defeated and returns, losing the city and losing ground...

Xiao Cheng looked at Shen Qin who was speechless, and suddenly sneered and said:
"I see, you are standing on Xia Guo's standpoint. So as long as I, Dayun, defeat your Xia Guo and fail to let your Xia Guo succeed, then I have done something wrong, right!"

Shen Qin was speechless and could only bow his head unwillingly.

"Your Majesty Yun, you cherish your family and country, and human nature, how can you abandon it? So you shouldn't blame us for this!" Zhuang Zhuan suddenly spoke up.

"Nature cannot be harsh..."

Xiao Cheng's eyes suddenly froze, his sharp eyes glanced at the four of them, and then he said loudly:

"But in the future, assassination is assassination, don't give yourself a high-sounding reason! Whether I govern the country is violent or not, and the people under the rule of Dayun Kingdom are qualified to judge, and you should not judge me by your mouth!"

Having said that, Xiao Cheng stopped looking at them and waved his hands casually.

Looking at Xiao Cheng's expression, Feng Bao immediately understood, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he signaled the imperial army to take the four of them away and eradicate them directly!

No questioning needed at all!There are so many elite masters from hundreds of schools who are capable and capable, and there is no one else except the court of Xia Kingdom!

There is no need to know their origins, because it is useless to ask.Xiao Cheng can't just discard those talented students from a hundred schools of thought just because of these people!

And the crime of assassinating the king, don't even think about relying on the prestige of various schools to get rid of the crime!

In this way, the four were taken away from the dragon boat by the forbidden army.

Accompanied by the faint sound of flesh and blood, four corpses were pushed into the river.A well-known master in the Jianghu died in such a silent and extremely aggrieved manner at the hands of a few soldiers of the Yun Kingdom Imperial Army!

At this time, on the dragon boat, a young eunuch rushed over, knelt down in front of Xiao Cheng, and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, the Ministers of the Korean, Chinese and Military Forces, request an audience!"

Yun Country's national power is growing day by day, and it all depends on Xiao Cheng alone.Therefore, after being assassinated, the courtiers naturally wanted to come to confirm Xiao Cheng's safety immediately.

Xiao Cheng heard the words, nodded slightly, and said:
"Xuan!"

But at this time, in the distance is the dense forest above the Yuanjiang River.

The green candlelight was flickering and slightly dim, turning the dense forest into ghosts and creatures, full of ghostly aura.

A group of Yinshan sect disciples who were holding bronze candlesticks and sitting cross-legged before now showed pain on their faces, their bodies were distorted, and the expressions on their faces showed extreme pain.

But even so, these Yinshan sect disciples seemed to be tightly restrained by something at this moment.No matter how painful it was, the body could not move an inch, and no one uttered a scream of pain.

Looking carefully, I was able to discover a frightening thing.At this time, the distorted figures of these Yinshan disciples were exactly the same as the bronze candlesticks held in their hands!
Taoist Zhu You from the Yinshan School, at this moment, the puppet in his hand is mostly wrapped in black mist.

Just one glance at the black mist, and one can feel the viciousness and viciousness in it, which makes people shudder.

The next moment, there was only a muffled "pop".

A bronze candlestick exploded suddenly, and the face of the disciple of the Yinshan sect who was holding it suddenly showed a dead look, and then his body suddenly fell to the ground, losing all life.

Afterwards, there was a muffled sound after another, and the bronze candlesticks exploded one by one, and the disciples of the Yinshan School died one by one.

When more than a dozen disciples had all died, the black mist above the puppet in Zhu You's hand had all dissipated.

Seeing this, Feng Chu couldn't help frowning and said:
"Failed?"

Zhu You glanced at the two of them, and said gloomyly:

"At the cost of the dozen or so most outstanding disciples under my sect, how can I fail if I use my Yinshan sect's secret technique?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu You stroked the puppet in his hand, and the golden light from before was drawn out again.

"Early before the great change of the world, my Yinshan faction knew that the emperors and emperors of all dynasties had the protection of national destiny in the dark. If this witchcraft method cannot be hidden from the national destiny, it will not be effective, and will be manipulated by it instead." Backlash!"

While talking, Zhu You looked at the golden light in his hand that looked the same but had changed drastically, and said with a sinister smile:
"Now, just put the intercepted Yunhuang's breath back on Yunhuang..."

While speaking, Zhu You loosened his hand, and the golden light immediately circled up and fled towards the dragon boat on the Yuanjiang River in the distance.

On the dragon boat, all the officials came to pay homage to Xiao Chengxing.

Xiao Cheng didn't want to bring so many officials with him, but there was too much opposition from the court, so he could only bring most of the important officials of the court together.

The Minister of Rites Zhang Zhao and the Minister of Rites Zhang Hong led a group of civil and military officials, shouting:
"Long live your majesty, long live, long live!"

Xiao Cheng raised his hand slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's all be spared the courtesy... Zhuqing saw that I am safe and sound with my own eyes, so I should feel at ease this time!"

As soon as the ministers got up, they heard a strong voice, saying:
"Nowadays, the prince in the palace is young, and His Majesty's safety is related to our Dayun Country, and we must not be sloppy... I only hope that Your Majesty will never do this in the future and put yourself in danger!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng raised his head and saw Hai Rui's figure, and immediately felt a terrible headache.

Hai Rui is honest and upright, upright, tough-tempered, daring to speak out and speak out.

This is used well, of course it is a sharp knife to remove carrion for the country.But usually, Xiao Cheng would be troubled by this Hai Rui's temperament, and he felt headaches and troubles many times!
When he was in Zhongqing City, he played almost every day, so Xiao Cheng could not go out of Beijing for tours.In the end, I couldn't stop it, so I insisted on coming together.

For such a stubborn person, in order to avoid nagging, Xiao Cheng could only nod repeatedly and perfunctoryly say:
"Yes, yes, what Hai Qing said is true!"

Hai Rui felt helpless towards Xiao Cheng's perfunctory, and knew that he should not continue to persuade him at this time, so he could only shake his head slightly, turned around and was about to return to the queue.

But at this moment, in the line of sight that ordinary people can hardly notice, that golden light came straight towards Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng only felt a chilly air rising from his body, and just when he felt a little abnormal, the Fulong Sword placed beside him suddenly popped out of the scabbard.

Everyone could only hear the faint roar of an angry dragon coming from their ears.

[Anger Dragon Excalibur, Five-Star Treasure

Introduction: The inheritance of the royal family of Yunguo is said to be transformed from the Lujiang dragon vein that runs through the southern part of the sky, and it is extremely miraculous.

Wearing effect: the person who wears it, strength value +10, gets the talent "Raging Dragon Bodyguard"]

Sensed by the Nulongjian, the breath was revealed immediately.

The golden light on the body that was used as a cover was stripped away at this time, revealing the black aura full of resentment and sinister aura that had been covered up before.

On the dragon boat, everyone's attention was immediately attracted by it.

Xiao Cheng stood up abruptly, seeing the black aura that was blocked in mid-air, which made him feel very uncomfortable, his brows were immediately frowned.

In the dense forest, Zhu You's body suddenly trembled, and his deep sunken eyes were surprised at first, and then changed to a vicious look.

He snapped his hands together, and the fragments of the bronze candlestick on the ground were immediately absorbed by him, and immediately gathered into a strange candlestick full of cracks.

Taoist Zhuyou bit his finger and used his own blood as fuel to ignite the Youyou green fire again!
On the dragon boat, the black aura blocked by the angry dragon sword was shaken again at this time, changing the previous decline, and once again harassed Xiao Cheng to swoop away.

But before the black aura rushed to Xiao Cheng, he heard a loud shout:
"Bold!"

The awe-inspiring voice is deafening.

Hai Rui's eyes widened with anger, and he started drinking violently.In an instant, a mighty righteousness arose from his body, turning into a vision of a majestic mountain peak, standing upright in the mountain, straight and sharp, piercing the sky!

The spirit of integrity is full of fortitude and uprightness.

The sinister aura that was still acting fierce and could no longer be stopped even by the Dragon Sword of Fury, now melted away when it met Hai Rui's aura, like ice and snow meeting the sun.

Zhang Zhao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, immediately took a step forward and shouted subconsciously:
"Offending the emperor with insidious means, you should be punished!"

All the officials on board immediately shouted in unison:

"Shut up!"

All the officials in the court, civil servants with awe-inspiring uprightness, and military officials full of chilling intentions gathered together at this time, soaring straight into the sky.In an instant, the luck of the country was aroused.

The golden Qingyun condensed and manifested again.The aura of dragon and tiger in the community has turned into an auspicious state.The Luck Golden Dragon is hidden in the golden Qingyun, its body is flying non-stop, and the body of the dragon with scales and claws is looming.

With awesome power, all evils are warded off.

In the dense forest, Taoist Zhuyou of the Yinshan School trembled all over, grasping the cracked bronze candlestick tightly in his hands, without even humming, his body fell on his back.

Seeing this, Feng Chu was taken aback immediately, and subconsciously wanted to look forward.

Gong Yingzong stopped Feng Chu abruptly, and shouted anxiously:
"and many more!"

And at this moment, there was a sudden "bang" explosion.The bronze candlestick in Zhuyou's hand exploded instantly, and countless bronze fragments, mixed with Zhuyou's flesh and blood, splashed everywhere.

Gong Yingzong pulled Feng Chu behind him, and pushed forward with his right hand.

The ninth-level peak, the deep internal force that is very close to the land fairyland, turned into a barrier at this time, directly blocking all the flying bronze fragments and flesh and blood.

Feng Chu poked his head out and looked at the big tree with two people hugging each other, which was directly chopped off by a piece of bronze shard, and his heart suddenly became terrified.

Gong Ying looked at Zhu You, who was blown to death without a whole body, her face turned gloomy and ugly, and her fists were tightly clenched.

It's the third time!I am conceited that there are no omissions, but I have been deflated by Emperor Yun three times in a row!
Feng Chu adjusted his mood, and then said to Gong Ying in a deep voice:

"Let's go, there is such a big movement, Yun Jun will come to search soon!"

Gong Ying had a cold face, after taking a few deep breaths, she gritted her teeth and said:
"Okay, let's go!"

Since then, Xia Guo's conspiracy to assassinate many masters has suffered a crushing defeat...

　Six thousand words, not bad!
