I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 586: The Union of Royal Power, Military Power, and Divine Power

Zhao Fuer moved her wisdom beads, looked at Li Jing, and suddenly asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Seeing Zhao Fuer suddenly asking Li Jing, Shenxiu nodded slightly. Zhao Fuer's growth in the past few months can be said to be very fast. As a son of Buddha, he suddenly realized. Even if he did not completely inherit the cause and effect of his previous life, the changes he experienced were beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Li Jing was brought in by Hu Wenlang. Although Zhao Fuer didn't know Li Jing's role, he could completely control Hu Wenlang through Li Jing in a tactful way, such as improving Li Jing's strength.

Li Jing held his breath and thought. Now among the people in the tent, Zhao Fuer and the other two were one, and Hu Wenlang and himself seemed to be one. However, as the fourth prince of Daxia, he naturally disagreed with obtaining Wei soldiers, unless Hu Wenlang could offer enough benefits to convince him.

Before Li Jing could speak, Hu Wenlang smiled and said to Li Jing, "If the Fourth Prince only wants to be a marquis who guards the city, there is no need for him to get involved in today's affairs. If the Fourth Prince has higher ideals, then he cannot do without an army. Even if he has enough support from the second and first ranks, local governance still requires grassroots soldiers. The 300,000 troops in front of him are the Fourth Prince's only chance."

Li Jing suddenly laughed and said, "Sir, are you willing to let me command these 300,000 troops?"

Although he was laughing, his eyes were fixed on Hu Wenlang.

Hu Wenlang unexpectedly replied, "Why not?"

His answer made Li Jing stop laughing, made Garuda Yuanqian look surprised, and made Shenxiu look thoughtful.

Hu Wenlang looked at Zhao Fuer and continued, "We are both reincarnated. Only the two of us understand that our practice is not just a fight against the heavens and people, but also a fight against ourselves. Since I don't want to be the Emperor Wu of Wei in my previous life, then the significance of these 300,000 Wei soldiers in my eyes is not to rebuild a Wei Kingdom, but a foundation for my survival. I failed in my previous life to conquer the world. In this life, am I not going to turn back after hitting a wall?"

Regardless of whether Hu Wenlang's remarks were true or false, Zhao Fuer at least thought they made sense. He was temporarily convinced and nodded, "This makes sense. In this way, our three families actually have no fundamental contradictions. Instead, we can unite together, which can be regarded as a foundation for survival in this chaotic world."

Li Jing has the support of the orthodox name of Daxia, Hu Wenlang can provide the Wei army, and Zhao Fuer can provide support to the Fahua Temple, the core of the Hundred Schools of Thought. The combination of the three can indeed provide complementary support, which is the only way to remain unscathed in the struggle between Zhou Tieyi and the Emperor of Daxia.

Li Jing also thought it through. He didn't have an army at all, not even the nominal army of Daxia, and he had no chance of convincing others to fight for him. Instead, it would be better for him to seize the Wei army first and try to conquer it. This would be a no-cost business for him.

Of course, it cannot be said to be completely without risk. The biggest danger is one's own safety. One gambles his own safety in exchange for the opportunity to fight for the control of these 300,000 troops.

If I don't even have this kind of courage, then just like Hu Wenlang said, it would be more comfortable for me to be a leisurely prince like the eighth or ninth brother, so why should I participate in this war?

Li Jing stood up and bowed to Hu Wenlang, saying, "Then it will be up to you to persuade the Wei army to surrender."

Hu Wenlang smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay."

Although his face looked calm, his heart was not. He gained the support of Li Jing and Zhao Fuer successively. Not only did he get an inherited imperial weapon and possible control over 300,000 troops, he also gained the orthodox title and foreign aid from the Fahua Temple.

It is impossible to obtain these conditions by joining Zhou Tieyi!
This is also the reason why Hu Wenlang knew the method to enter the Rentu Taoist sect, but did not contact Zhou Tieyi immediately.

He knew that with Zhou Tieyi's methods, this time it would be easier and he would gain more. However, with Zhou Tieyi's methods, he estimated that these 300,000 troops would be completely swallowed up by Zhou Tieyi before he could even take action for a month. Even if he obtained the Wei Kingdom's inherited imperial soldiers, in Zhou Tieyi's eyes, they might just be a more advanced thug or a backup military advisor.

After the three of them formed an alliance, Hu Wenlang stood up and said, "There is still some time before the meeting, let me go out and make some arrangements."

Although he did not inherit the title of Emperor Wu of Wei, allowing the Emperor Wu of Wei in this history to continue the historical trajectory, the Concubine Mo and the Lord of the Prison Gate under his command could completely inherit the identities during this time, which was crucial for his subsequent influence on the army.

After Hu Wenlang stood up, he first found Jiang Heng, a second-rank general of Qi State, and asked to leave the military camp temporarily. After obtaining Zhuge Dan's permission, he left with Li Jing and headed south towards Taihang Mountains.

Only Zhao Fuer and the other two were left in the big tent. Zhao Fuer asked Jialuo Yuanqian, "You captured three people in your Buddha Kingdom?"

Although Yuan Qian is only at the third level now, the inheritance of the eight groups of the Fahua Temple is orderly, and each inheritance can be practiced to the second level. Among them, the Buddha Kingdom and the secret treasures are richly accumulated. He also learned the art of the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of his hand and inherited the Buddha Kingdom of the previous generation.

Yuan Qian was slightly stunned. Compared with the big event happening now, the little episode involving Mei Juncang and the other two was not worth mentioning. If Zhao Fuer hadn't brought it up, he would have forgotten about it.

"I caught three ignorant youngsters. They wanted to capture me and present me to their teacher. I caught them and prepared to ask their teacher how I taught them."

Yuan Qian waved his sleeves and released Mei Juncang and the other two, whose six senses were sealed.

When he saw the three people, Shenxiu naturally recognized Mei Juncang. He sighed leisurely, closed his eyes and chanted the Buddha's name.

As expected, for such an important matter, how could Zhou Tieyi not act secretly!

Yuan Qian immediately realized something was wrong when Shenxiu made such a strange move, and asked Zhao Fuer, "Who are these three people?"

Zhao Fuer's eyes fell on the faces of Mei Juncang and the other two. "It's normal that you don't recognize the three of them. After all, they just worshipped a good teacher. No wonder Zhuge Dan let you in, and no wonder Hu Wenlang ran so fast. As the saying goes, it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. Now I'm afraid that if I send you to his teacher, it will be difficult to end this cause and effect."

Yuan Qian acted in a flash, and there might be only one person in the world who could make the Compassionate Green-Handed Tathagata say this.

"Zhou Tieyi!"

He looked at Mei Juncang and the other two with a gloomy face. Suddenly, he felt murderous and raised his hand. If he killed these three people here, even Zhou Tieyi would not know because of the cover-up of history.

"Amitabha!"

Shenxiu suddenly chanted the Buddha's name, breaking Yuan Qian's murderous intent, "Have you forgotten, sir, that it was the Marquis of Shenwu who invited you in?"

Yuan Qian shuddered suddenly and looked up. Although this military tent was isolated by Zhao Fuer's Buddhist Dharma, he seemed to be able to see Shenwu Hou waving a feather fan and looking at him across the tent with a smile on his face, waiting for things to develop further.

Shenxiu reminded Yuan Qian and turned to look at Zhao Fuer, "Why did he send three disciples in?" The four most important things in this long river of history are the imperial soldiers of Wei, the life and death of Jiang Taiyi, the Heluo formation and Jiang Taiyi's peerless magic weapons, and the 300,000 Wei soldiers.

With the abilities of Mei Juncang and the other two, these four items are definitely not enough for them.

Zhao Fuer sneered, "What else can you do? You want to take advantage of me!"

When talking about Zhou Tieyi, Zhao Fuer's face was full of arrogance and disgust, and then he sighed helplessly and said, "In the battle between the Netherworld Great Wisdom Root Realm in the Mountain Copper Mansion, you told him my role. He used me to kill the Yellow Spring Snake Fish. Although I don't owe him karma, we still took advantage of him. So he naturally wants us to pay it back in this battle, and it has to be his three disciples!"

Yuan Qian was stunned when he heard this. He was already a third-rank official and was considered a master outside. He also knew how to use his own Taoist tradition to start planning and strategizing. However, compared with these big men who truly controlled the world, he was like a newborn baby. Not only were his emotions beyond his control, but even his own behavior became part of the cause and effect calculation.

Zhao Fuer looked at Yuan Qian, "You are the one who brought them in, so you should take the three of them out. You should wake them up separately later, hide Hu Wenlang and me, and explain the matter to them separately. This will put an end to this cause and effect. Don't think of other ways, which will only make things worse."

This was what Zhao Fuer was thinking. Although Mei Juncang and the other two might get a share of the second- and third-grade treasures and leave, none of them involved crucial matters. He certainly didn't want to conflict with Zhou Tieyi at this time, because if Zhou Tieyi dared to let three disciples in, it meant that he had other arrangements, or even that he might not be worried about the fate of the Rentu sect.

Although she didn't know what Zhou Tieyi's arrangement was, it was this blatant disregard that made Zhao Fuer even more fearful.

Hearing Zhao Fuer's order, Yuan Qian's face turned bitter. He opened his mouth to refute, but in the end he could only put his palms together and said, "I accept the order."

Since this is the decision made by the two big men, he can only obey it, otherwise the consequences will definitely not be something he can bear.

Zhao Fuer stood up and left the Qi army's tent with Shenxiu, and disappeared.

After Zhao Fuer left, Yuan Qian waved his hand angrily and woke up Mei Juncang and the other two.

The three were awakened and observed the surroundings first. They found themselves in a military tent. The Garuda in front of them did not shout at them to fight and kill them, but instead looked like he was eating a fly.

Mei Juncang said, "It seems that Your Excellency already knows who our teacher is."

Yuan Qian would not reveal his true colors in front of the three of them. He sneered, "I do know your master. I admit that he is very capable, but if you three are courting death here and kill yourselves, even your master can't blame me. Here, I can't even protect myself, so how can I protect you? I want to wake you three up to remind you of this!"

"Where is this place?"

Mei Juncang saw that Yuan Qian didn't sound like he was lying and asked curiously.

Just as they were talking, a horn suddenly sounded, as if crying and complaining. A soldier outside the door said respectfully, "The Prime Minister invites you to the central army tent."

Prime Minister?

Mei Juncang was stunned. There was no such position as prime minister in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Yuan Qian finally regained some face, raised his neck slightly, and said proudly, "Boys, this is the site of the Heluo battle. Even the top-grade will fall!"

Sun Chenglong and Deng Xuehu looked surprised. The Heluo Battle was so famous. Even though they did not have access to many secrets of the upper class, they knew who was being talked about and when.

Cooperating with the soldier who delivered the message outside the door, if the three of them were not under an illusion, then wouldn't it mean that they had followed Yuan Qian to more than three hundred years ago?

However, Sun Chenglong had already caused trouble by speaking out of turn once, so he did not dare to speak carelessly this time and looked at his senior brother Mei Juncang.

After the initial surprise, Mei Juncang looked at Yuan Qian with his penetrating eyes for a few more times, then suddenly stood up, bowed respectfully and said with a smile, "Then our lives are in your hands, Senior. You certainly don't want my master to ask you about what happened here because of our lives, right?"

When you give someone a gift, you must ask for something in return.

Yuan Qian, who had just boasted for a few breaths, turned gloomy again and waved his hand, "Follow me, let's go see Prime Minister Zhuge first."

When the few of them came out of the tent, they first saw the huge Bagua formation that stretched from sky to earth, and then they saw hundreds of thousands of troops operating like precise gears. These scenes alone were enough to shock the two little guys, Sun Chenglong and Deng Xuehu.

Only after they followed the generals and soldiers into the central military tent did they truly see the world.

In the big tent, brilliant rays of light were like gods and Buddhas. Taoist masters formed auspicious clouds, like layers of night palaces. Buddhist masters sat cross-legged on the ground, and golden lotuses grew on the earth. Although the Confucian officials did not show any difference, the generals who guarded them were as strong as dragons and tigers, making the originally spacious tent filled with various Taoist sects and appear "crowded".

When Zhuge Dan saw Yuan Qian and the other three coming in, he did not ask about the origins of Mei Juncang and the other two, but directly said, "Come here, you four, and sit next to me."

Zhuge Dan's words naturally made the bigwigs around him look at them slightly sideways. They looked at Yuan Qian and the other three curiously, and soon, these bigwigs realized that the four of them were special.

"It seems like these four people have no cause and effect?"

The three Buddhist masters secretly communicated with each other. One of them looked at another old monk and asked, "Painter, it seems that Garuda originated from the inheritance of your temple?"

I saw an old monk who was also half confused. He put his palms together, one hand was dry and the other hand was indigo. "It should be. Let's see what Wu Hou says."

Sun Chenglong arrived beside Zhuge Dan. He did not expect that he would suddenly be able to sit next to such a legendary figure. Although his teacher was also a big shot, it was naturally different for someone like Shenwu Hou to suddenly appear in front of him. So he stuttered a little, "Thank you, thank you Prime Minister Zhuge."

Zhuge Dan smiled and said, "No, we will need your help to break Jiang Taiyi's vanguard later."
