Romance of Gods

Chapter 204 Proclaiming Emperor ([-])

Mr. Ao San is smiling. It can be seen that he is very proud now, as if he has performed a good performance and is waiting for the audience to applaud.

Chen Yan did not save face for him and said directly: "What you did was not authentic. You promised to hand over the imprisoned actors in the painting to me. But you kept saying that your strength has not recovered and you are unwilling to let go." Man, it would be better for you to let everyone go now, how can I trust you?"

Mr. Ao Sanye's face slowly turned pale, and he half-smiled, "Brother Chen, there are no outsiders here, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. You don't need to pretend to be stupid, you must know that the woman named Pei is not dead. Instead, I hid it in this painting.

Why leave her alive? It's because I have selfish motives. I want to secretly cultivate another force of my own... But then I thought about it carefully. This person named Pei is too scheming. If I cooperate with her, sooner or later, I will fall into her hands.

However, with the idea of ​​​​making the best use of everything, I will use her one last time and let her lead people to attack the water stronghold in Huguang Mansion. As long as the fortifications here can be removed, why should the world be worried?
  After she gnaws away this hard nail, my brother will lead the oriole behind and kill Pei Xianyu and others as well as the remaining defenders. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds and everyone would be happy? "

"No matter how scheming you are, it can't be as deep as Master Ao." Chen Yan said solemnly: "You gave her the person you promised to me, and now you ask me to cross the river and demolish the bridge for you. It seems that I am getting an advantage, but in fact, It's because I lost a group of manpower for no reason. In the fight between snipe and clam, it is you, Mr. Ao, who wins in the end."

Mr. Ao Sanye smiled and said: "Brother Chen, why don't you? Now that the matter has come to this, I'm not afraid to speak more clearly. I want to use you to seek the world. Don't you want to use me to gain benefits? We all hope for each other. He succeeded, but he was always on guard and tried every means to kill the other party.

This is both a cooperation and a cruel struggle. Only the strongest person can have the last laugh! What happened to Pei Xianyu today is my conspiracy. Brother, how do you choose? Of course you can refuse, in which case I will push Pei Xianyu to the top, and you will have two opponents to face in the future.

If you accept, then Pei Xianyu and Huguang Mansion will be your trophies... I think smart people should know how to choose, right? "

Mr. Ao Sanye's plan may seem crude at first glance, but it strikes a vital chord with a bold move.

But when he thought that the world would be destroyed in a few days, and then heard these naked people's evil thoughts, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. He said: "I admire you. I will take people to Huguang Mansion tonight."

Mr. Ao Sanye was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Okay! Brother Chen, to be honest, your friendship with me is extraordinary. After all, you saved my life. I really want to be at peace with you." In the end, we can each get what we need, so we can get together and part ways."

Chen Yan nodded and said, "Let's encourage each other."

After leaving the scroll, the two returned to the banquet hall, where everyone continued to drink.

Regarding the important military matters, Mr. Ao Sanye did not directly announce it. He only agreed with Chen Yan on the time for dispatching troops, and the remaining details were left to him.

Although the actors are determined to get closer to Ao Sanye, at least for now, they still trust Chen Yan more.

After they had had enough wine and food, all the actors returned to the boat. Chen Yan called them together and said, "Tonight, we will launch a surprise attack on Huguang Mansion."

Huguang Mansion is an important military town, and it will inevitably encounter a bloody battle, so everyone is slightly silent.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yan said: "At night, I will lead a small team of people to sneak into the water stronghold. When I find the right time, I will send out a signal. You all should stay still for now. When you see the warning, you can cooperate with me inside and outside."

Everyone nodded. In this way, they only need to act according to the situation, and the risks they face will be much smaller.

"Then it's Brother Chen's turn to thank you!"

"It's work!"

Chen Yan waved his hand and asked everyone to disperse first, waiting for his instructions.

Only after Cao Chunhua was left alone did he tell Master Ao everything about his plan.

Hearing this, Lou Huowang sneered: "This Ao San is a character...Brother Chen, are you really going to do what he says?"

Before Chen Yan could speak, Cao Chunhua said: "I think it's good to follow Ao San. What we want now is to quickly attack the capital and seize a lot of loot to improve ourselves so that we can find opportunities to survive this natural disaster. The greater the risk, The greater the harvest. Besides cooperating with Ao San, do we have any better choice?"

Shen Mengxi said: "Then we leave, what will happen to Xiaohua? We can't leave her on the boat, it's too dangerous."

Chen Yan said: "Take it with you. You and Lao Lou will be responsible for taking care of it then."

Shen Mengxi and Shen Mengxi nodded. After all, they were not suitable for close combat. Taking care of a child did not prevent them from providing assistance in the rear.

In spring, the weather in the southwest is uncertain. After a while, it's like the sky is leaking. Heavy rain falls. It's like a pot exploding on the river. Arm-long rain pillars splash into the water, splashing long cup-shaped raindrops. Flowers, vision is eroded, and the world is blurred.

Taking advantage of the heavy rain, Chen Yan and others quietly left the fleet and headed towards Huguang Mansion quickly.

……

Huguang Prefecture, where the Han and Yangtze rivers meet, on the vast expanse of the river, there are water forts, warships like fish, a vast and majestic water.

In the wind and rain, it was dusk in a blink of an eye, the sky was dark, and the hazy firelights rose in the water village, like the Milky Way falling to the ground, giving it a unique and solemn beauty.

Because the war in the northwest was urgent, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province who had long resigned and retired to the war, went into battle again. Now he serves as the governor of Liangjiang and is in charge of Huguang.

Hu Zongxian is one of the five great masters of the Ming Dynasty personally ordered by Emperor Jiajing. Although he is now over a hundred years old, with the blessing of strong martial arts cultivation, his appearance is no different from that of a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

In the water camp, Hu Zongxian and the generals were all neatly dressed and were discussing military deployment around a map.

"Sir, the rebels outside the customs are becoming more and more fierce. Are we going to sit here and wait for them to grow and develop, ignoring them?"

"Yes, I think we should strike first and send troops to destroy the rebels and completely eliminate their arrogance!"

Seeing the excitement of the generals, Hu Zongxian said calmly: "As you have said, rebels have become the norm now. Let's not talk about whether the court will agree to our sending troops without authorization. Even if we can send troops, we will go upstream. The soldiers are not acclimatized to the climate, and we will definitely suffer. A great defeat. When marching and fighting, you cannot act in a spirited manner.

If the rebels want to enter the pass, Xichuan Prefecture is the first checkpoint. Xichuan is rich in mountains and rivers, and is blessed by several natural moats. Among them, General Ru Qianjiang has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time. Even if the rebels can break through Yuzhou, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. By then, if we mobilize our elite naval forces, we will definitely be able to wipe them out without any effort.

War is not just a matter of words. Now that the treasury is empty and wars have been suffered in successive years, the imperial court has already been unable to make ends meet. If it can just wait and see, there is no need to waste more time in fighting. I hope you will put the world first and Your Majesty first. "

When the generals heard this, they sighed again and again. If the imperial court hadn't delayed it again and again and ignored the uprisings in various places, how could it have caused the current disaster?

Hu Zongxian was much calmer than others. He knew that as long as there were natural dangers in Yuzhou and Huguang, the rebels would never be able to overthrow the enemy even though they were powerful.

What they have to do now is to preserve their strength amidst the civil strife as much as possible so that they can face the protracted war with the other three countries in the future.

"Okay everyone, that's it for today."

The generals cupped their hands upon hearing this, and there was a clear sound of armor clashing. Just as they were about to leave, the light in the tent suddenly became extremely coquettish, changing from dim yellow to an indescribable red.

They looked at the oil lamp on the table together, and saw that the swaying flame turned into the shape of a small lotus flower, slowly rotating, and then rapidly growing in size. The violent power contained in it was heart-stopping.

"Disperse!"

Hu Zongxian was the first to react. He shouted with astonishment and with a bang, everyone flew out at the same time. The spacious Chinese army tent was torn to pieces in an instant, followed by thousands of sharp red and pink petals twisting out.

puff!puff!puff!
  Several generals reacted a little slowly, but their throats were immediately silenced and their bodies were found on the spot.

"Enemy attack!" The soldiers outside the camp saw something happened and gathered around them one after another.

The night, the falling rain, the raincoat, the long knife cutting off the water droplets, and the running soldiers all seemed to press the slow-motion button in an instant.

"Avoid!"

Hu Zongxian shouted, and the flow of time returned to normal, but what followed was that one soldier after another was pierced through the heart by murderous petals.

In an instant, dozens of people were killed on the spot.

There are about [-] troops stationed in Huguang Water Village. As soon as they mobilized their whole body, the Chinese army's tent was attacked. Warning bugles immediately sounded everywhere on the river. Patrolling soldiers gathered around them one after another. The tents were filled with excitement. The army Filed out.

At this moment, like an earthquake, a powerful force came from nowhere, causing the water villages to fluctuate rapidly like paper. The fish in the river also rushed out like crazy, rushing to see people. Just bite.

For a time, the water village was in chaos, and screams could not be heard.

boom!
  Hu Zongxian fell on the wooden fence, his expression tense. He looked around at the strange phenomena that were constantly emerging, and suddenly raised his hand and threw a piece of white jade.

As soon as the jade jade flew into the sky, it hung high like a bright moon. The soft, gauzy silver moonlight was refracted by the rain lines, and soon illuminated the world in a dazzling light.

Among the crowd, as soon as some people came into contact with the light emitted by the jade, a layer of brilliance that was completely different from others would appear on their bodies.

"It really is these people."

Hu Zongxian nodded secretly. Before setting off from the capital, he had been secretly ordered by the emperor. The two had a deep conversation, mainly about important military matters.

But at the end of the conversation, a mysterious man joined in and explained to him a lot of information about the "god man" outside the sky.

And before he left, he gave him this piece of jade, saying that it would be of great use in the future.

Didn't expect it to be used so quickly.

Looking around, there are not many gods among the sergeants.

Hu Zongxian's heart sank. With just a few people, they dared to raid the army camp. Are they crazy?

Just as he was thinking about it, murderous intent suddenly came from behind him. He turned around and waved a palm. Pressed by the force of the palm, the rain instantly turned into a giant net covered with spikes and enveloped the visitor.

The actor didn't pay attention to this light palm force, and wanted to take the head of his coach. He slashed left and right with the big knife in his hand, tearing a huge gap in the giant net, and was about to get out. At this moment, the giant net suddenly shattered and turned into a sky full of nails that quickly hit him.

The force of this palm is like thousands of magma, melting it into holes in an instant.

"what……"

After a scream, the actor instantly turned into pieces of flesh all over the ground.

But at the same time, more violent murderous intent struck from all directions.

Hu Zongxian's body shook, and the Gang Qi swept across the sky like waves. Four or five performers just flew out of the ground and were instantly shocked and flew away into the distance.

"die!"

But there was also a figure holding a sword, which opened a ravine with Gang Qi, and quickly stabbed him between the eyebrows with a long sword.

Pei Xianyu looked at Hu Zongxian calmly with a cold face, already treating him as a dead prey.

This man is one of the pillars of the Ming Dynasty today. Killing him is not only to serve Ao Sanye, but also to bring many benefits to his own family.

As long as Hu Zongxian dies, the Southwest Military Affairs Council of the Ming Dynasty will be paralyzed immediately, and then the major families will be able to invade the hinterland of the dynasty naturally without any strong obstruction.

As for Ao San? This clown will also be crushed into powder by the rebel army with many soldiers.

Ao San wanted to use her, but didn't he know that he was also trying to use him?
  Pei Xianyu flew into the air, and the long sword in his hand turned into a lotus like a meat grinder, smashing all the layers of Gang Qi blocking the front into tattered cotton wool, pressing towards Hu Zongxian inch by inch.

Hu Zongxian was awestruck. The strength of the woman in front of him should not be underestimated!
  He pressed down with both fists, and a roar like rolling thunder came out from his throat. Bang bang bang, the sound of cracking tendons was like firecrackers, exploding all over his body.

The armor he was wearing instantly fell apart, and his exposed muscles suddenly turned as black as ink. The veins that protruded three inches from his skin had evolved into the shape of a blue dragon, spreading all over his body.

Divine martial arts trains the physical body, and when practiced to the highest level, the body can undergo various miraculous changes.

Hu Zongxian's divine martial art is called Wanlong Substitute. At his level, every muscle and muscle is already a blue dragon, and his body strength is as strong as diamond.

Suddenly he kicked on the wooden post, raised his palm and held his claws, and went straight towards the lotus held by Pei Xianyu.

When it comes to explosive power, Pei Xianyu boasts that he is not weaker than anyone else. Seeing that Hu Zongxian is not afraid of his offensive, he can't help but be startled.

"Since you want to die, I won't stop you..."

Pei Xianyu let out a scream, and her speed increased again. In the blink of an eye, Lianhua collided with Hu Zongxian's big palm.

The lotus flower shattered and turned into billions of fine sword energy that covered Hu Zongxian's body overwhelmingly and spread in all directions. Countless sergeants and performers were accidentally injured.

Hu Zongxian's body jingled, and his hard body was pricked with many wounds, but at the same time, dense dragon roars came from under his skin, and green dragons made of pure blood rushed out, biting with five claws, and The endless sword energy fights endlessly.

For a while, the two fell into a stalemate.

At the same time, the sounds of fighting in the surrounding areas were heard.

There are about fifty or sixty performers who came with Pei Xianyu this time. Although all of them possess strange magical powers, there are also many martial arts masters in the army.

In the previous raids, they could still win by hiding their whereabouts, but now under the light of the jade, their whereabouts were exposed. Under the encirclement and suppression of the soldiers, they quickly fell into decline and were unable to help Pei Xian Yuge kill Hu Zongxian.

Pei Xianyu's body was trembling slightly at this moment. She didn't expect that Hu Zongxian's physical strength was so amazing. Her move probably couldn't kill him.

If she missed it, she would probably end up here.

Just as Lotus's offensive was gradually declining, Pei Xianyu was suddenly startled.

Suddenly, Hu Zongxian's body in front of her was split from the middle, split into two, and slowly fell to the ground.
