Romance of Gods

Chapter 207 Proclaiming Emperor ([-])

When Chen Yan heard this, he looked at Cao Chunhua. Before she could ask what happened, she turned around and walked towards the water village, and Chen Yan followed immediately.

Master Ao Sanye saw something was wrong and followed closely behind.

The three of them came to the big ship together and saw Lou Huowang and Shen Mengxi, soaked to the skin, lying flat on the deck and passed out.

Cao Chunhua said in a deep voice at this time: "I met Lao Lou and the others just now and found that the two of them were missing. I found them in the river just now."

Chen Yan had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He controlled his expression to remain calm and asked softly: "Is there another person?"

Cao Chunhua shook her head and said, "Looking for it."

Upon seeing this, Master Ao San immediately ordered: "Except for those who clean the battlefield, the rest of us will go into the water to look for traces of the little flower girl!"

At the command, dense crowds of people jumped into the river together, and the water immediately became lively.

Chen Yan squatted down to check the injuries of the two men, and found that the back of their heads were bleeding profusely and their bones were dented. The injured were extremely fast, and they all succeeded with one blow.

He took out two healing pills and stuffed them into their mouths. Soon, they woke up and opened their eyes in confusion.

"Brother Chen..."

"what happened?"

Lou Huowang and Shen Mengxi sat up and looked around, still unclear about the situation.

Chen Yan asked, "You were knocked unconscious. Who did it? Do you still have any memory?"

The bodies of the two of them seemed to be electrified, and their expressions became slightly frightened. The brief amnesia dissipated, and the moments they experienced before fainting flooded into their minds.

Lou Huowang said solemnly: "I... I remember that I sent out a signal to attract everyone to attack the stronghold. When I was about to return to meet Xiao Xi, someone suddenly attacked me from behind! I also wanted to take pills to relieve the injury, but The man's attack was so fierce and cruel that my body was completely unable to move and my consciousness was blurred."

At that time, Lou Huowang and Shen Mengxi were not together.

Chen Yan caught this piece of information and then looked at Shen Mengxi.

"My experience was similar to that of Brother Lou. I was also attacked from behind..." As Shen Mengxi was talking, she suddenly remembered something, raised her head suddenly, and asked hurriedly: "Where is Xiaohua? Xiaohua was with me just now, Xiaohua Woolen cloth!"

Little flower?

There was a hint of coldness in Chen Yan's eyes.

"This is a play you directed and acted, right? You were possessed by a dove at the bottom of the river before, right?"

Although Chen Yan wanted to say this, he knew that it was just a way to vent his emotions when he was helpless.

He instinctively wanted to anger Shen Mengxi, but his reason told him that if he did so, he would fall into a trap set by someone.

He was silent for a moment and did not answer Shen Mengxi. He stood up straight and looked at the river scene in the misty night rain. The sporadic flames were about to be extinguished.

Chen Yan suddenly became convinced that Shen Mengxi briefly lost contact with him in the river and was alone with Jiu during this period, which was just a ruse.

The purpose is to plant the seeds of suspicion in one's heart, and then focus on exploding at this moment, causing them to fall apart from the inside.

If you calm down and think about it carefully, there are all flaws in it.

If Lou Huowang and the two of them could lose their ability to resist in an instant, why not just kill them directly, just knock them unconscious and take away an ordinary little flower.

It's so targeted, it can be said that it's specifically directed at you.

This person knows himself very well and knows that he may be on the verge of losing control because of people like Xiaohua.

Who is it?

Who is she?
  Who is the mysterious woman in the Dongting Sword Palace?
  What grudge do I have against her?
  Chen Yan knew very well that Xiaohua was just a part of the other party's plan, and now her value was gone and could not be recovered.

Everyone stared at Chen Yan's back and unanimously remained silent. Under the calm, restless anger was brewing.

At this time, those who had gone into the water to search for the person returned to the boat one after another and reported: "Back to the third master, there was no trace of the child."

Mr. Ao Sanye frowned and nodded, waving his hand and saying, "I understand."

The leaders rushed to the ship, and Xian Laowu, who was responsible for counting military supplies, cupped his hands and said: "Father, the battlefield has been cleaned, and [-] heavy warships, several small ships, and military rations have been captured..."

Hearing this, Mr. Ao San interrupted and said: "Except for the big ships, all the other things we have captured will be destroyed. Our military needs are light and simple. Lao Wu, please pass on the order and select the elite knights to accompany me on the [-] big ships and march quickly; the remaining You will lead the people below, and hang a big flag on the bow of the boat with the words "The traitors in the imperial court are living freely and feeding on the common people, Brother Pao will go to Beijing to eliminate the thieves on behalf of heaven", and then recruit troops. No matter how humble, as long as you want to go to Beijing to see the bustle. , they will all be used by me."

Xian Laowu understood, "I understand, I'll do it right away."

After explaining everything, Ao Sanye looked at Chen Yan and said, "Brother, it's getting late, it's time to set off."

Cao Chunhua said coldly: "Third Master is too anxious. Our people haven't arrived yet."

Mr. Ao Sanye laughed at himself when he heard this. If he goes further, he will be the world's most powerful person. Isn't he just a little girl?
  As long as you can be above ten thousand people and have a foothold in the country, what about your own children? If you die, you will die. These things are nothing.

Although he thought so, he just shook his head and didn't say much. He knew that Chen Yan knew what to do, because to a certain extent, they were the same person.

Chen Yan turned around and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

"Brother..."

Cao Chunhua and others looked at Chen Yan together. They knew that Chen Yan had brought Xiaohua here to protect her, and he had already regarded her as a true companion.

At this moment, Little Peanut is nowhere to be seen, and there is no dead body. If he is not given a result, how can he feel at ease?

Shen Mengxi clenched her fists and said regretfully: "Xiao Hua was neglected by me. You go first. I'll stay here to look for her. I will definitely find her!"

Chen Yan smiled and said: "What's the use of finding her now? If Xiaohua lives, she will definitely want to see the sun rise as usual many years later. We should leave now and leave no one behind."

After saying that, he started to move forward. Suddenly, he stopped and stared straight ahead.

"I'm fucking your mother!"

The smile on Chen Yan's face disappeared and he shouted loudly. He was caught off guard and punched, which landed on the deck like an explosion.

Boom!

The deck was shattered and the bow of the ship was shaking. When the river was surging, the performers soared into the sky. Chen Yan looked forward and said in a deep voice: "Kill."

Mr. Ao Sanye watched everyone leave, raised his arms and shouted loudly: "The whole army is marching!"

Under the cover of night, the mighty fleet headed straight towards the heart of Ming Dynasty.

In order to wipe out the rebels in the Ming Dynasty, elite troops were concentrated in the three prefectures of Shaanxi, Chuan and Hu. Huguang Prefecture, as the last important barrier, was wiped out in the blink of an eye.

After that, no pass could stop Brother Pao from rebelling all the way south, especially with Chen Yan and the other gods opening the way.

boom!boom!
  Several violent cracking sounds resounded in the military camp on the river bank. The defenders had just noticed that the ground was shaking, and before they were ready to face the enemy, all kinds of charms and magic weapons were thrown down as if they were free of money, and they were all caught in one fell swoop. , clean and tidy. The closer they get to Jinling, the less reserved the gods are. They use all kinds of precious props without mercy, because they know that as long as they can attack the capital, there will be countless treasures of heaven and earth for them to seize.

Chen Yan and others were responsible for clearing the way, and the fleet led by Mr. Ao was responsible for attacking the reinforcements that were attracted. The soldiers and guards stationed on both sides of the strait were attracted by the movement at the pass, and they were about to face the enemy. The strangulation of powerful ships and cannons, and the top martial arts masters today.

During the fighting, the water of the Qianli River was dyed blood red.

The men and horses in front and behind swaggered forward, killing happily along the way. Looking up, the magnificent Jinling City had already appeared in the distance. Such a smooth rebellion was unprecedented.

When those fat-bellied dog officials who searched everywhere for people's wealth and wealth were still wallowing in Wenrou Township, they didn't know that someone had already torn through their defense lines and reached the capital.

In the continuous falling spring rain, time passed in a daze, the night between heaven and earth quickly faded, and the color of blood mixed in the cold mist became increasingly clear.

Along the Yangtze River, a strange scene appeared. People who heard the explosion last night gathered on both sides of the Yangtze River, like two long snakes facing each other across the bank.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The local official, riding in a sedan with the government officials leading the way, arrogantly broke through the crowd and arrived at the scene of last night's incident. When he saw the razed military camp and water fortress, he was so horrified that he immediately fell to the ground and peed.

"This...what exactly is going on..."

One night passed, and the world turned upside down?

Just when the officials and the people were in shock and covered in cold sweat, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded from the river, and the fleet of boats decorated with lights and colors, like a dark city, moved across the river.

Bags of grain, rice, and money were sprinkled from the boat and fell into the crowd, where they were robbed.

When the officials saw the big flags hanging on the bows of the ships, their livers were almost split with fear.

If someone rebels, Brother Pao will do it!
  The Pao Ge Hui's home base is in Yuzhou, and Yuzhou is the Great Tomorrow Moen. It is heavily controlled by troops. How can they resist?

"Quick! Quick! Go back and send the message!"

When a group of officials were about to sneak away quietly, there were already archers on the boat with quick eyesight and quick hands. They shot these people into a sieve full of bloody holes with their arrows.

Xian Laowu summoned a group of strong and powerful men to stand on the bow of the ship and shouted in unison: "Fellow fellows! Today's court is unethical and uses the people as food. They throw them into the well and no bones remain! The sky is angry and everyone is resentful! The people of the world are angry. All outraged!
  My brother Pao will go down the river this time in order to go to Beijing to eradicate the traitors and bring peace to the people! Those who are willing to work with us to do justice for heaven, no matter high or low, are our brothers! "

They are like a huge human-shaped trumpet, sounding in all directions.

Someone asked: "Can I make a fortune!"

"can!"

"Can I please have a beautiful wife?"

"can!"

The gangsters and scoundrels on the street were very happy when they heard this. They were afraid that the world would not be in chaos. They went home and copied axes and hatchets, called their friends, and took the lead in following the fleet south.

As they walked, more and more people were encouraged. Soon, in addition to rogues and rangers, farmers, businessmen and other good people also joined the advancing team.

Shaanxi Mansion is located outside the Pass, and the folk customs are strong. Coupled with the fact that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, it has created a wave of anti-king forces. Inside the Pass, there is relative peace. But at present, a civil rebellion that far exceeds the outside of the Pass is taking the Yangtze River as a link, like Like lighting firecrackers, they radiated wildly towards the four prefectures and counties.

The rear fleet led by Xian Laowu had not yet sailed out of Huguang Mansion, but it had gathered a mighty team of two to three hundred thousand people, and headed towards Jinling laughing and joking like a spring outing.

The initiator of this wildfire was now approaching Qingliang Mountain in the west of Jinling City.

Qingliang Mountain has the power of a dragon and a tiger, and it is a natural barrier to protect the capital of the Ming Dynasty. As long as this mountain is conquered, the world will be at your fingertips.

After a night and a day of non-stop killing, Chen Yan and the other gods had exhausted most of the scarce resources such as elixirs and horses. They were all now gathering on a ship to rest.

Facing the Ming Dynasty's first fortified city, the previous lightning raids had no effect. It was time to face a powerful enemy.

The majestic warship division stands across the vast river, confronting the dragon-like fortifications built on the mountains.

Mr. Ao Sanye stood proudly on the bow of the ship. Looking at the capital in the distance, he couldn't help but feel proud. Who could have thought that I would be where I am today?

"Give me the order to go down, aim at the fortifications on the mountain, and bomb me indiscriminately!"

He gave an order, and more than [-] warships lined up in a row, with their guns pointing outwards. Now, except for a few days of rations, the rest of the ships were full of cannonballs, enough to level the entire mountain.

Qingliang Mountain, beacon tower.

The commander-in-chief of Beijing Guards, Zhu Zaiche, stood in the fortress fully clothed, frowning as he looked at the large number of warships that appeared outside the mountain like magic tricks.

Although the current Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty has understood the art of immortality and has lived for two hundred years, he is still very restrained in matters between men and women. Zhu Zaiche is his seventh son and is not yet a king. He leads the Seventeen Imperial Guards and is responsible for guarding the capital.

"Scout! Go and find out who is coming!"

He gave the order, and dozens of vigorous soldiers immediately responded and disappeared into the mountains and fields like rolling stones.

"Damn it, what do the guards in Sichuan and Hu do? So many people are approaching the city, and we haven't received any news at all!"

Zhu Zaiche was furious when suddenly, a deafening roar of thunder sounded over the river and the mountains shook.

Immediately afterwards, like a thousand-foot-long red cloud rising from the river, it quickly swept towards the mountain top, carrying with it a staggering and terrifying lethality.

Those are...huge cannonballs that are burning blazingly!
  "Prepare to counter..."

Zhu Zaiche's pupils shrank sharply. Before the word "hit" could be uttered, countless shells hit the mountain, like a burnt orange. The skin made of dark smoke was cracked inch by inch, and the red flesh made of flames was exposed. .

In the blink of an eye, Qingliang Mountain was enveloped in heavy artillery fire.

Chen Yan and others stood up together and looked towards the mountain. Cao Chunhua said: "I don't think the Jinling defenders can hold out for long under this intensive artillery fire."

Chen Yan shook his head, "Don't underestimate them. I can already feel the pressure coming from the city. That pressure is trying to suppress my strength, like a special restriction."

Shen Mengxi said: "That's the emperor's pressure. The place where I came before was in the capital. The emperor's pressure can limit the escape skills of the gods, and it also has secret strength. It's not that easy to break the city."

Lou Huowang suddenly shouted, "Look!"

After hearing the words, everyone came back to their senses and saw that after the smoke and artillery fire dissipated, the green mountains were unscathed!
  Zhu Zaiche drew out his saber and shouted: "Counterattack!"

When the same dense shells bombarded the river, ripples suddenly appeared on the water surface, and then, clicking sounds continued to come from the water.

Chen Yan said solemnly: "Someone is destroying the ship! Launch it into the water!"

At the same time, the performers put up a barrier to block the opponent's artillery fire. Chen Yan and others jumped into the river, and their scalps instantly went numb.

I could see that in the river where the water and grass were swaying, there were thousands of guards in brocade uniforms wearing flying fish uniforms, chopping at the bottom of the boat with their swords.

The moment the two parties looked at each other, a bloody fight was about to break out.
