Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 925 Internal and external troubles
The Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong, and Beidi attacked the defense lines of the Great Zhou at the same time, as if they had made an appointment.

The various protectorates responded in a timely manner, but found that these people were different from before. The barbarians who usually cried out in pain when they were beaten by them were now like they had taken forbidden drugs. Not only did they have no sense of pain, but their already strong strength increased several times.

No one knew the extent of the change, but in the first encounter, the soldiers of the Great Zhou suffered greatly and lost many soldiers.

These barbarians now feel to them to be much more difficult to deal with than when they followed the sage and the King of Qin to conquer the world.

The barbarians were knocking at the gate again, and the various protectorates ordered their soldiers to defend the city to the death, watching the city gates about to be breached.

Someone is coming from Chang'an City.

Their arrival is like a refreshing rain in a dry land.

The people who came to help found out that there was an organization called the 'Five-Character Tribe' behind the trouble. These barbarians must have taken forbidden drugs made by the 'Five-Character Tribe', which was why they became so difficult to defeat.

The imperial court sent incomparably tough outer armor that had been proven to be able to withstand the test of swords and axes; the people who delivered the baggage also came, as well as a group of generals who had been idle at home after the establishment of the new dynasty. They discussed in detail with the governors-general of each prefecture and other generals how to fight back.

War broke out all over the country. Chen, who had originally planned to return to Beijing to prepare for his marriage, had to put down his just packed bags and stay in Dongdu to fight hard.

Because of the hardness of the material of the armor, the patterns on it were not completely erased.

When he received the armor, Chen Yizhi immediately knew what it was made of.

That was the spiral turtle that Daoyi had cut down. He had only heard Wang Xuanzhi mention it. The spiral turtle itself was huge, but because it was not convenient to display it in the capital, he had never had the chance to see it. He never thought that he would see the fragments of the spiral turtle under such circumstances.

No matter how big the spiral turtle is, it is not enough for all the soldiers to share.

Therefore, Chen Yizhi and others let the soldiers use this armor in batches.

The war lasted until early September, when the weather gradually began to cool down, and the war that had suddenly broken out also strangely calmed down.

The barbarians instigated by the 'Five-Character Tribe', although extremely powerful, had no armor to protect them like the members of the 'Five-Character Tribe'. They were beaten by the soldiers of the Great Zhou wearing spiral tortoise armor, and gradually came to their senses. The Great Zhou was still the same Great Zhou that suppressed them.

They were watching from the sidelines.

Chen Yizhi was also watching, but he was looking towards Chang'an.

Because of the rebellion of the barbarians, a recall order was issued from Chang'an, and the King of Qin brought his people back to the capital, but I am afraid they have already entered Chang'an.

Today is the Double Ninth Festival again.

In the summer of the third year of Wude, An Dao came down the mountain and went to Beijing with An Dao. He developed a grudge against him because of Wen Yuan. Later, because of the Double Ninth Festival outing, he went to Xia Shui Town and experienced the incident at Chen's house. As well as An Dao's words, he completely sobered up.

Daoyi was not the real murderer who killed Wenyuan. On the contrary, she helped Wenyuan get relief.

Apart from the Wenyuan incident, his life in Chang'an in the past two years was relatively happy.

As soon as the war stopped, people began to think of the good things in Chang'an.

Especially the ninth day of September, Double Ninth Festival.

Chen Yizhi looked at the lonely chrysanthemums blooming near the Eastern Capital, thinking that they must be grown in a garden somewhere in Chang'an. Even if the war was over at this moment, he wanted to follow the custom and climb up to a high place to enjoy the view. But which old friend would bring him wine and food?

In Chang'an, he has his old friends, as well as his concerns and relatives.

When the King of Qin came to the capital this time, he also took with him Hu Zhubu, the former head of Puyang County. What this man knew could shock the court and the public, and even cause unrest. I hope that everything goes well for the King of Qin and his men, and that no one else is involved.

The journey of the King of Qin back to the capital was not smooth. After several bloody battles, he finally arrived at Chang'an City with his army in the late autumn of the eighth year of Wude. As the war had just ended, the army was stationed outside the city. Everyone in the capital was in danger, and the morning market was almost catching up with the curfew.

In the face of internal and external troubles, the best way to appease the people is to resolve these troubles.

In order to solve this problem, the King of Qin and one of his ministers in Taiji Hall advocated fighting back until the barbarians dared not to attack them. The other group that did not advocate war had some concerns.

At present, barbarians are rising up everywhere. Among the Eastern Barbarians, there are Goryeo, Silla, Baiye, and Wa; among the Northern Barbarians, there are dozens of small countries such as Turkic, Huihe, Bohai, etc.; there are also Gaochang in the West, Dongnu Kingdom in the South, Nanzhao, etc.

Due to the intervention of the 'Five-Character Tribe', the small countries that were easy to attack in the past now require a large number of troops from the imperial court to suppress them at the same time.

The imperial court sent out so many troops at the same time, who would guard Chang'an City and other important roads?
Who can be sure that none of the 'Five-Character Tribe' who are secretly eyeing the situation have infiltrated the imperial court?
Once the imperial army leaves, who can guarantee that the 'Five-Character Tribe' will not take advantage of the situation and swoop in?

The problem goes back to the beginning, the internal troubles among internal and external troubles.

Several venerables in charge of the 'Five-Character Department' and Elder Xu behind the scenes are now nowhere to be seen. These medicine men are even more difficult to deal with than the ones in Dongdu. The armor on them is difficult to penetrate with knives or spears. It is extremely difficult to capture them alive and give them the antidote.

At the same time, Wang Xuanzhi was at Xie's house, also talking about the 'Five-Character Department'.

"Several venerables are injured and should be hiding to recuperate. Why has Elder Xu not been seen for many days?" Chen Shuguang seems to be more stable these days, much more stable than his brother was in his youth. Daoyi believes that he can better stay in the imperial city now.

Daoyi touched the yellow cloth bag around his waist, and found an unidentified corpse inside.

This incorruptible corpse always reminded her that Wuxiang was also a person who took over other people's bodies. Everyone's soul is unique. If you force yourself into someone else's body, not only will you be protected by the other person's body, but your soul will also reject outsiders.

But Wuxiang's soul was stronger than Xu Wei's, so he could only escape with his remaining soul and give the final hint to his two friends.

Suddenly, Daoyi thought that there was another person whose body was also taken away and who was still alive in this world.

She immediately thought that Elder Xu was a person who had taken over another's body, or that his soul and body were not the same person, and something had happened, which led to Elder Xu's absence.

Chen Shuguang opened his mouth wide and it took a long time for him to close it.

He just wanted to learn some skills from Daoyi, but he never expected that the skills were so mysterious.

It had only been a short time since he last studied, but it was already difficult for him to digest it.

But when he learned that Elder Xu was not well, Chen Shuguang suddenly perked up.

"Chen Xiaoer, you can't let ordinary people know about this." Seeing Chen Shuguang rushing back to his duty, Daoyi reminded him again.

Chen Shuguang's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand~~~"

Both of them showed an expression of knowing each other.

After he left, Daoyi felt that Chen Shuguang was no longer the boy he first met.

When he thought of Zizhi who was taken back to the Xie family, and Xie Daogu who was also about to get married and whose second uncle's family was engaged to Chen Shuguang, he suddenly started to have a headache again.

A twelve-year-old girl is already old enough to start dating.

Why does she feel that this matter is even more chaotic than the war outside?
She is indeed suitable for going out to fight monsters!!!

Happy June!
