The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 292 Yuwen's unusual behavior, the witch's thoughts

call……

The breeze was blowing, the air was filled with blood, the former overlord Du Fuwei who dominated the Yangtze and Huaihe River regions was dead, his body torn apart. He did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of a small gangster in the former Yangzhou city. It was almost dramatic.

When Li Zitong in the Yangzhou Palace learned the news of Du Fuwei's death, he was extremely ecstatic. After laughing for a while, he changed his expression to sadness. He ordered people to bring back Du Fuwei's body for a proper burial, and at the same time arranged for people to search for the murderer.

A few days later, King Li Zitong of Chu personally presided over the funeral of King Du Fuwei of Chen in the imperial palace. A group of generals gathered in the white mourning hall. Li Zitong annexed Du Fuwei's old subordinates on the spot, and no one dared to resist.

In the 11th year of the Sui Dynasty, Li Zitong of Donghai led more than 10,000 troops to Huainan to join Du Fuwei. However, he was also a man with great ambitions and refused to be inferior to others. He suddenly mutinied and attempted to annex Du Fuwei's territory. Du Fuwei was caught off guard and his entire army was in chaos. Du Fuwei himself was seriously injured in Li Zitong's pursuit, and the two became enemies since then.

In the twelfth year of Daye, Yang Guang burned himself to death, Li Zitong invaded Yangzhou, expanded his power, and competed with Du Fuwei. At this time, the Yuwen clan in Guanzhong was very powerful, and the two had to put aside their hatred and jointly resist the military pressure from Guanzhong.

In fact, they were always thinking about killing each other and annexing each other's troops.

Now that Du Fuwei is dead, his generals are leaderless and can only turn to Li Zitong. After Du Fuwei, Li Zitong becomes the new overlord of Jianghuai, expanding his power to the two Huai regions and shocking the world.

In a Taoist temple in Yangzhou City, beside a pond, a young man was sitting under a tree reading a book. He was wearing a Taoist robe and his face was a sickly pale color. Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, raised his head, and saw a familiar figure not far away.

"Master."

Su Ming looked at his face and nodded, "After three days of rest, your body is almost healed."

After Xu Ziling fell into a coma that day, he brought him to this Taoist temple to live. When he arrived, Xu Ziling's body was covered in blood and the Taoists here were scared. In fact, his condition was much better. This breakthrough in realm was a natural result. The vitality of heaven and earth filled his body and cleansed his body. Most of his internal injuries were healed, and the rest were external injuries.

After waking up, he practiced the Longevity Sutra on his own to heal his wounds, and it was more effective than taking any panacea.

Xu Ziling bowed and expressed his gratitude. “If it weren’t for the hard skills passed down by Master, I would definitely not have made it.” After all, Du Fuwei at that time was aiming to destroy his martial arts instead of killing him. If it were someone else, he would have probably lost all his martial arts and would not have been able to advance to the innate realm like him.

"You and I are master and disciple, no need to thank me." Su Ming walked over to sit beside him, the sun shining through the leaves on him, "After Du Fuwei's death, the Huai area belonged to Li Zitong. Speaking of which, he should thank you."

Xu Ziling coughed twice, his expression calm, "He once threatened us brothers with our mother's body, and forced us to worship him as our godfather. Killing him has nothing to do with morality, it's just my heart. There are so many rebels in the world, killing one of them is nothing."

Hearing this, Su Ming smiled. With this kind of mentality, he no longer looked like the little gangster from Yangzhou. "In a few days, we will set off for Luoyang to see the prosperous places in this world."

……

Guanzhong Chang'an.

Yu Wenzhi sat in the palace, reading the battle report with a frown on his face, "Xu Ziling, this guy is not dead yet!" Du Fuwei's death did not have much impact on the forces in Guanzhong, because the canal transportation had been cut off long ago, and Guanzhong did not rely on the food from the south.

But Yu Wenzhi remembered the name Xu Ziling very clearly. The Four Great Books and Fu Jun'er were all involved in this. He had long forgotten about them, but he did not expect that they would appear again.

"Father, I heard that the Taoist sects in the south have united to nominate a Taoist priest. That boy is called Xu Ziling. I am ordered by the late emperor to find the elixir of immortality and to make enemies with them. When this sect confronts us, what do you think, should we strike first?" In the secret room, Yu Wenzhi's voice sounded sinisterly.

Inside the room, a tall figure spoke in a cold and heavy voice, "What? Are you sure you can wipe out the Taoist sect in Guanzhong?" This person was Yuwen Shang, the head of the Yuwen clan.

Yu Wenzhi said contemptuously, "They are just a mere Taoist sect. We only need 20,000 troops to wipe them out. We cannot allow the entire Taoist sect to unite, otherwise it will be a great threat to us. Song Que alone is difficult enough to deal with." At the end, his voice was a little heavy.

Yuwen Shang's eyes were deep and unfathomable, and there was a kind of awe-inspiring domineering aura between his eyebrows. "Humph, stupid, the alliance between the Southern Dao Sect and the Song Clan is certainly not a good thing, but don't forget the Buddhist sect behind the Li Clan. If you deal with the Northern Dao Sect, you will be pushing people to them."

"It's true that Buddhism and Taoism are enemies, but if we force them to merge, wouldn't that be making things easier for others? Taoism is not as simple as you think!"

"Are we just going to sit there and watch and do nothing?"

Yuwen Shang shook his head. "No, you send your disciples to Louguan Dao and tell them that we support their disciples in their fight for the position of Daozi. The Daoists in the south are far inferior to those in the north, and they may not be willing to obey orders from others. Song Que wants to fight for the Daoist sect, so why don't we pick the peach first?"

Hearing this, Yu Wenzhi's eyes lit up. He was indeed his father. This was killing two birds with one stone, not three birds with one stone. "Dad, don't worry. Leave this matter to me."

"Now that the forces in Guanzhong have been integrated, it's time for us to take Luoyang. According to the spies, Wang Shichong is recruiting soldiers and flirting with the people in Wagangzhai. They are the most urgent matter."

When mentioning Wang Shichong and Wagang Stronghold, Yu Wenzhi frowned again. Back when he was in Jiangdu, he hoped that Wagang Stronghold would become stronger and the majesty of the imperial court would be destroyed. But now that Yang Guang is dead and his Yuwen clan is in charge of Guanzhong, Luoyang and Wagang Stronghold stationed in Jinyong City seem very conspicuous.

Especially when the war between the Yuwen and Li clans stopped and they expanded separately, Luoyang blocked the way out for Guanzhong. Without taking Luoyang, it would be difficult for Guanzhong's power to extend to the banks of the Yellow River, which was like a thorn in the throat.

"Dad, I have already taken care of this matter."

……

Luoyang, Tingfangxuan.

Although its name is chic, it is a top-notch fireworks place in Luoyang. Before nightfall, there is a constant stream of people and cars in front of the building, dignitaries come and go, and the laughter of young girls in the pavilion can be heard all day long.

Attic compartment.

A barefoot woman in white was painting her eyebrows under the lamp, laughing crisply, "Haha, Du Fuwei actually died at the hands of an 18-year-old boy, interesting..."

The charming lady next to him suddenly thought about it and asked, "Senior Sister, do you want me to send someone to contact them?"

"The matter of Wagangzhai is important. If you take good care of Li Mi, it will be a great achievement. Otherwise, Master will not forgive you." After saying that, she stood up again and touched the pretty face of the woman, smiling sweetly. Her voice was gentle but sounded a little cold. "Taoist sect, what a great reputation. I wonder how it compares with the nun of Cihang Jingzhai."

Alas, as soon as the New Year comes, there is no peace at home. It is better to stay outside, it is so miserable.
