Loan Wusheng

Chapter 189: The sacred artifact is covered in dust. Please ask the Grand Commander to consider the world and become the emperor to bring peace to the world!

"How dare you, your servant, to speak so presumptuously! Today, the Purple Star is dim while the North Star is bright. This is a sign that the heavens are tired of the Zhou Dynasty and will return to the Great Yu! The Grand Commander is the direct descendant of our Great Yu Emperor Gaozu. When the Zhou rebels usurped the throne, the three million loyal souls of the Great Yu Dynasty did not disperse!"

"Today, the Grand Commander is in charge of 200,000 soldiers. Wherever he goes, farmers offer him grain and poor scholars offer him poems. This is not only what people want, but also what God has appointed him to be!"

The young eunuch knelt on the ground, his voice hoarse, and his head knocked deeply: "If the Grand Commander kills me as a sacrifice today, I am willing to do so and die voluntarily! But Grand Commander, the artifact has been covered in dust for 800 years, it's time to polish it!!!"

After saying this, the young eunuch kowtowed heavily until his forehead was cracked and bleeding, and roared like a night owl.

"Grand Admiral, Your Highness, Your Majesty!"

The young eunuch continued to yell, his throat even hoarse: "The world is in constant strife, you deserve to be crowned emperor and restore the foundation of Great Yu!"

Listening to the young eunuch in front of him who was performing with all his might, Zheng Jun fell into deep thought.

If you don’t know, people would really think you are a loyal minister of the Yu Dynasty.

The problem is that--

I'm not from the former Yu royal family!

Zheng Jun had only made a slight threat just now, but the little eunuch immediately revealed everything he knew.

Especially Zheng Jun is a member of the former royal family of the Yu Dynasty. His original surname is Jiang. He possesses the magical power "Yiri Liuguang". The reason why he was promoted so quickly is that he relied on the ability to devour demon pills in his magical power to be promoted. He is similar to Jiang Yang, the former king of Tang Dynasty of Yu Dynasty when the world was in chaos.

This news made Zheng Jun feel complicated.

That’s right, but only half right.

It is true that he can level up faster by devouring demon pills, but in fact, he still relies more on the 'Great Dao Martial Book'.

With the help of the 'Dao Wushu', there is almost no risk in swallowing the demon pill by yourself as long as you don't intend to die.

Normally, using this kind of external force to advance will lead to an unstable foundation and difficulty in breaking through. This is also due to the "Great Dao Martial Book", which can straighten out and soothe one's newly acquired true energy in the first place, allowing it to quickly resonate with the original true energy in one's body.

It should be that the refining of the inner elixir of the Black Turtle Demon King in the Yuandan Realm of the North Sea caused the aura to leak out, and was discovered by this knowledgeable old eunuch.

They remained inactive until more than a month later, when they relaxed their command and began to flee south.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun took a deep breath and said, "This must be Fang's conspiracy. Fang's trick is too cruel."

The reason why Zheng Jun suspected Fang was very simple.

Gao Lishan fled southward.

The area south of Yulian County can only be the territory of the Fang family.

If they wanted to go back, it would be closer to return by the original route, but Gao Lishan insisted on going south, which obviously showed that he had reached some unknown secret with the Fang family!
No matter what, this person must be killed!
Zheng Jun's eyes gradually revealed a hint of murderous intent.

"The Governor..."

The young eunuch trembled with fear, not knowing what his fate would be.

It's a bad feeling to be standing aside and being judged.

After a moment's silence, Zheng Jun suddenly asked, "Why did Gao Yan let the four of you flee together? If the four of you had stayed still, he wouldn't have been exposed in a short period of time, and he wouldn't have been discovered by me in such a short time."

This is Zheng Jun’s question.

Gao Lishan escaped on his own, and it would have been several days before he was discovered.

Why did these four eunuchs flee on the same day as Gao Lishan? Wouldn't this allow them to discover Gao Lishan's whereabouts in advance?
"Grand Commander, godfather... ahem, the evil eunuch asked the four of us to escape today."

The young eunuch spoke in a trembling voice, and said to Zheng Jun: "The villain told the four of us that he might fail in his action, and asked us to spread the news. As long as we leave the area of the Grand Commander, we can find a county governor to take the news to him. Over time, it will naturally spread throughout the world..."

Hearing this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but take a breath.

Gao Lishan, do you and I have such a big grudge against each other?

Although I don’t know what’s wrong with the identity of the royal family of the Yu Dynasty, Gao Lishan’s huge reaction must represent something deeper.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun felt inexplicably irritated.

Because he is really not from the former Yu royal family.

But since he has obtained the 'Yiri Liuguang', it is normal for him to be misunderstood.

There is no other way. Nothing we say will be of any use now. We can only defend the royal family of the Yu Dynasty against the scourge.

"Grand Admiral, Your Majesty!"

The young eunuch fawned on Zheng Jun, saying, "If we want to rebuild our Great Yu, we need more eunuchs and maids in the palace. This servant..."

Before the young eunuch could finish his words, his eyes went dark and he suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, leaving only a streak of blood on his neck.

After instantly killing the little eunuch, Zheng Jun immediately soared into the air, transformed into a ray of green and gold light, and flew towards the south!

At this point, the most urgent task is to hunt down Gao Lishan.

As for this little eunuch... he knows too much, so he naturally cannot be kept.

If he is left alive, he must be placed in Yulian County and handed over to Wei Tu for disposal.

Then Wei Tu will definitely get the news that he is from the 'royal family of the Yu Dynasty'.

Judging from Wei Tu's loyalty to Emperor Yongchang, he might turn against him because of this.

Zheng Jun would never do such a thing.

Of course, Zheng Jun was also very curious about why Gao Lishan did not reveal the news to Wei Tu before leaving... Perhaps he did not trust Wei Tu.

If Gao Lishan tells Wei Tu the news, and Wei Tu pledges allegiance to Emperor Yongchang, the good situation that has been established will be ruined in one day.

"Whoo~"

Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed between Zheng Jun's eyes.

This Gao Lishan must die!

Zheng Jun's body suddenly burst out with brilliant cyan-gold light. His robe fluttered as his toes lightly tapped the ground, and he shot straight into the sky like an arrow.

Wherever the escaping light passed, the clouds exploded with a loud bang, plowing a straight vacuum tunnel in the sky. The surging cloud waves were torn into pieces by the violent energy, and swirled and fell into the abysses on both sides!

The cyan-gold tail flame dragged a rainbow hundreds of miles long in the sea of clouds. Thunderclouds moved away and flying birds fell in fright wherever it passed.

Occasionally, a woodcutter would look up at the sky and see a scorching streak of light that split the sky and then disappeared in an instant, causing the hatchet at his waist to vibrate.

After a moment, he came back to his senses and couldn't help muttering: "I really met a god today!"

……

Gao Lishan's body was filled with white true energy as he flew cautiously towards the south.

His movements were not fast, even a little slow.

Because he was careful enough, he avoided all inspections by Zheng Jun's soldiers and did not leave any trace at all.

He knew very well that the news of his 'escape' could not be concealed at all.

Therefore, Gao Lishan pretended to be an enemy and fled southward.

A smart person would certainly think that this is a strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and that if they flee to the south, they will definitely secretly head north.

Especially a smart person like Zheng Jun, who is very careful and meticulous, would definitely realize that it is more dangerous to flee southward, so he would think that he is just making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, deliberately flying south and then making a circle.

Combined with the fact that he had not revealed his whereabouts along the way, it was enough to cause Zheng Jun to misjudge and chase him northward.

But who could have imagined that he was actually heading south, planning to make a detour through Lanzhou and Zhili, and then arrive in Pengzhou and return to His Majesty the Emperor Yongchang?

Gao Lishan was extremely proud and felt that his plan was flawless.

Gao Lishan was just pinching his fingers to activate his escape light, not yet floating in the air, wandering in the woods, when he suddenly felt a piercing chill running up his spine.

He looked back suddenly and saw the sea of clouds in the northern sky surging like a boiling sea. A streak of cyan-gold light was tearing through the sky at an alarming speed, and the thunderclouds along the way suddenly collapsed as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

"How could this... head straight to the south!"

Gao Lishan let out a gasp of shock, and his vital energy almost flowed backwards through his meridians.

Isn't this wrong?

He did not reveal any of his whereabouts and no true energy leaked out.

How could Zheng Jun not suspect that he was making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and that his escape to the south was just to create suspicion, and that he would flee to the north after exiting the south gate?

No, there was no way Zheng Jun couldn't have thought of this.

Could it be that he...

He has seen through our plan?!

Thinking of this, beads of sweat the size of beans slid down the wrinkles on Gao Lishan's face, and the knuckles that were holding the whisk had turned bluish-white. The murderous intent surging in the sapphire light made Gao Lishan sweat profusely.

No, we can't wait here.

With Zheng Jun's abilities, he will definitely be able to see through our disguise!

With this thought, Gao Lishan, with a pale face, hurriedly crushed the jade pendant on his waist, and twelve blood-colored talismans immediately flew around his body. This was the "Blood Escape Talisman" bestowed by Emperor Yongchang himself. He had originally intended to use it to save his life in times of crisis, but now that he had encountered Zheng Jun, whose murderous intent had reached the extreme, he had no choice but to use the treasure bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor!

"As ordered!"

Gao Lishan let out a low shout, and the twelve blood-colored talismans instantly poured into Gao Lishan's body. The talisman light wrapped around him and turned him into a red rainbow. His speed increased by more than three times, and even the mountains on both sides were dragged into blurred afterimages!
After performing the "Blood Escape Talisman", Gao Lishan gritted his teeth again, then bit the tip of his tongue, spurting out a few drops of blood, increasing his escape speed by another 20%, but his internal organs felt as if being burned by fire!
"Running so fast?"

Zheng Jun, who was chasing after him, was extremely surprised, but at the same time he was also somewhat fortunate: If Gao Lishan had escaped like this earlier, how could he have caught up with him?
With this thought, Zheng Jun became more confident. He immediately stepped on the Qingjin True Essence and combined with the Saturnal Meteor to chase after Gao Lishan.

Gao Lishan had no magical powers of escape, but only talismans and blood essence for support, which would not last long.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but smile slightly, and then his whole body's true energy burst out wildly, and his speed unexpectedly increased by 50% out of thin air!
Since the opponent is using consumption tactics, then let him be completely consumed!
As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Jun instantly turned into a ray of cyan light.

Gao Lishan, who was speeding ahead, was originally feeling somewhat comfortable, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a sound like a dragon's roar breaking through the air behind him.

"hold head high!"

The voice trembled, and Gao Lishan's pupils shrank suddenly. He caught a glimpse of the clouds being twisted into a spiral vortex by the sword energy, and the cyan-gold escape light was still approaching even in the blood escape state!

"Damn it, Zheng Jun came too fast!"

Gao Lishan was extremely shocked. The true energy scattered along the way made the pine forest below crackle. Under the burning of essence and blood, the martial artist with open orifices also showed some supernatural powers.

"Grand Governor!"

Gao Lishan screamed at the top of his lungs, sweat on his forehead: "I have an important matter to attend to in the capital, so I won't bother the Grand Commander to see me off."

"Ah."

Zheng Jun chuckled, said nothing, and continued to chase.

Can't catch up yet.

The speed of that 'Blood Escape Talisman' is quite fast.

One in front and one behind, chasing all the way.

Just like this, about half an hour later, Gao Lishan's eyes suddenly opened up and the gray-brown outline of Batang County's city wall came into view.

Gao Lishan's pale face flushed with a sickly red, and a broken roar came out of his throat: "Zhang Junshu! Open the city gate quickly! We have an important matter, and we need to see His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin! The person chasing us from behind is the great thief Zheng Jun, stop him quickly!"

Hearing these words, the defenders on the city wall set up their crossbows in doubt, and an orange true energy suddenly emerged in the city. It was Zhang Wen, the prefect of Batang County.

Zhang Wen was stunned when he saw this situation, and after seeing Zheng Jun's blue-gold true energy all over the sky behind him, his heart sank even more.

"Mr. Zhang, should we open the city gate?"

A general at the side asked Zhang Wen in a low voice, looking a little excited: "Zheng Jun came alone, Mr. Zhang... this seems to be our chance!"

"What a chance!"

Zhang Wen was a little upset and directly scolded: "Open the town plate, this must be Zheng Jun's trick, trying to trick our army's gate open, we must not let that person in!"

"promise!"

After hearing Zhang Wen's orders, although the generals around him felt that something seemed to be wrong, they had no choice but to obey Zhang Wen's orders.

Zhang Wen was very worried.

We agreed on a three-month ceasefire!

If we rescue this man today and anger Zheng Jun, Zheng Jun will send out an army of 200,000 by land and sea, and Batang County will be in danger.
When Gao Lishan flew here, he saw the city gate was closed. Gao Lishan's pupils suddenly shrank and the twelve blood-escape talismans turned into ashes at this moment.

The sound of a dragon roar breaking through the air behind him was getting closer and closer. Gao Lishan became ruthless and bit his tongue again, offering up a drop of blood!
The moment the sweet and fishy true essence exploded, Zheng Jun's cyan-gold-colored Lushui sword energy was like the sky pressing down on his head.

"Zhang Wen!"

The old eunuch's scream was drowned in the explosion of true energy, and the Batang County city defense formation lit up with green light in response!
Gao Lishan's blood was burning, and Zheng Jun was like a god descending from the sky. He put his two fingers together and drew a line in the air. The cyan gold true energy in his body suddenly condensed into a flowing green sword energy. As soon as the green water sword energy took shape, it caused the water vapor to surge in a radius of ten miles, and even the moat on the top of Batang County was stirred up by huge waves!
If you don’t have a knife, use your two fingers as a knife!

Before the sword energy arrived, the murderous intent had already caused Gao Lishan's eyes to bleed.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Is this Zheng Jun's strength?!"

The old eunuch gasped, his fear growing stronger. He swung out his whisk with a sharp scream. The silver threads in the whisk wrapped around the blood talisman and turned into a giant net, covering Zheng Jun.

But Zheng Jun's wrist shook slightly, and the Lushui knife force broke through the air like a crescent moon, crushing the whisk into powder!

Gao Lishan staggered back, his official robe torn an inch across his chest with blood.

Zheng Jun looked indifferent when he saw this, and the Lushui sword energy actually split into nine layers of green afterimages, like layers of angry waves, rushing towards him to kill.

Gao Lishan gritted his teeth, his whole body filled with energy, and he stretched out his skinny palms, ready to take the sword force!
"boom!"

The blood mist and green light exploded into sparks all over the sky. Gao Lishan's ten fingers were shattered, and the white bones of his right arm pierced through his flesh!
He used the recoil force to fly backwards into the moat, and the river water was actually evaporated into a three-meter-high pale gas column by his true energy.

"He does have some skills."

Zheng Jun looked at Gao Lishan and said calmly, "You are at the second level of Tongqiao, but you can actually withstand my sword. Not bad."

Gao Lishan jumped out of the moat, his face covered in blood. He looked in the direction of Zheng Jun, his body trembling. He paused for a moment, and saw the cold light in Zheng Jun's eyes suddenly increase, and the Lushui knife force instantly gathered into a hundred-foot-long green dragon. He immediately whispered: "Grand Commander, misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

"After I learned of your status as a noble, I decided to go south to find the Fang family's ancestor and jointly support you as the ruler of the world..."

After that, Gao Lishan's mind became particularly active. He raised his voice to Zheng Jun and said, "Today, the world is in turmoil. The Zhou royal family is fighting for power and profit. It is unbearable, causing the sacred artifact to be covered in dust. The Grand Commander is the direct blood of the Dayu royal family and has a respected status. Please consider the world and become the emperor to bring peace to the world!"

He did not want to betray Emperor Yongchang.

But today, he was afraid that he could not escape death.

In this case, it would be better to stir up Zheng Jun's heart and see if he can make him lose his mind and directly declare himself emperor and cut himself off from the world.

In this way, we can be considered worthy of His Majesty the Emperor.

Moreover, he revealed key information in his words.

The Grand Commander is of direct blood of the Dayu royal family.

Zhang Wen...

Gao Lishan was extremely angry with this person, but now he could only rely on this person to pass the message on.

They even hoped that the soldiers would spread the news and make it known to the world.

Rumors will eventually reach the ears of Emperor Yongchang.

This is the last thing Gao Lishan can do for Your Majesty.

"You are quite smart."

Zheng Junjun's whisper disappeared into the wind, and the knife energy at his fingertips suddenly collapsed into a green mark.

Seeing this, Gao Lishan's hair stood on end. Just as he was about to resist, he only felt a sharp pain all over his body!
"No!"

As the old eunuch screamed miserably, Zheng Jun's fingertips were already three inches from his forehead.

The sword energy penetrated into Gao Lishan's seven orifices like a living thing. Gao Lishan's purple robe swelled up like a ball, and thousands of green threads burst out from the pores all over his body. The next second, he burst like a swollen balloon!

And in front of Zheng Jun, small gold-plated characters also appeared.

[Use your fingers as swords, defeat the enemy in three moves. The repayment progress of 'Lushui Zhan Jiao' is +80, and the current repayment progress is: 5000/5000. ]

[Has killed one dragon-like Tongqiao and three Tongqiao demons. 】

['Lushui Zhan Jiao Sword Art' has been repaid. 】

Small gilded characters flashed before Zheng Jun's eyes, and then he looked towards the city wall of Batang County.

Zhang Wen, who was watching the battle from the top of the city wall, was terrified. The remaining force of the Lushui Knife was still there, which really made him feel trembling. His legs became weak, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Zheng Jun is really strong! Apart from the old ancestor, is there anyone in the whole Lanzhou who can be his opponent?"

Zhang Wen's expression flickered and he felt awe.

He paid no attention to the words "legitimate blood of the Dayu royal family" in Gao Lishan's words.

I just think Gao Lishan is really crazy. He actually dared to betray Zheng Jun. After being killed, he still used these cheap tactics to sow discord.

It's just stupid to the extreme.

Can such a person be the Prime Minister?

It seems that surrendering to the King of Qin was the right decision, and the Yongchang court is now like this.

Zheng Jun said nothing, turned around and left, transforming into a cyan gold light and disappearing.

As for whether Batang County heard Gao Lishan’s words?

It does not matter.

Batang County is the enemy. If Emperor Yongchang believes even the words of the enemy, then this will be the end of his life.

And Zheng Jun has no regrets.

He is not from the royal family of Dayu!
If you don’t believe it, let the Pacification Office conduct a thorough investigation of your ancestors for eighteen generations!
