Chapter 46 Chapter 46: Ghost King Zhuojian

When King Yan's invitation letter arrived at Nujiao Island, King Yan had just returned to Shuntian, and he was attacking with the defenders inside and outside.Li Jun, who was dominated by the southern army, couldn't hold on. Li Jinglong was a member of the Demon Cult, and he was selfish by nature. When he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately took the lead in fleeing and rushed back to Dezhou overnight. When the army sees the commander-in-chief fleeing first, whoever does not cherish their lives will disperse in a frenzy, fled in the wilderness, or abandon their weapons and surrender.

At this time, Nujiao Island returned to calm, and the soldiers were sent to Yuezhou, Huangzhou, Wuchang and other places, and were reorganized into King Yan's coalition forces.Now everyone thinks that King Yan is the true son of heaven, and Zhai Yushi used all kinds of gentle methods to make these soldiers who surrendered have no different intentions. The Nujiao gang mobilized to clean up the devastated mess on the island, kept useful fortresses, rebuilt the docks, added new defense facilities, and was impeccable in defense. The family members who have lived in Xiaonujiao for a long time have returned to their nests one after another, restoring the lively and peaceful atmosphere on the island.

The most delightful thing for the Nujiao gang is that they captured Qu Qiubai when they regained Nujiao Island. Shangguan Ying personally imprisoned this great enemy, and restrained his meridians, teaching him that he could not wish to die, but had to wait for disposal. . In the afternoon of the same day, Xu Yeyue and other girls came to meet their husbands by boat, accompanied by the reluctant couple and Han Qingfeng. The feeling of seeing the moon. That night, in the main altar of the Nu Jiao Gang located on the mountainside of the main peak, a large feast was arranged to celebrate the great event of taking back the Nu Jiao Island.

People above the leader level on the island were all present. Thousands of people gathered together, and the tables were lined up to the square outside.Under the lights and festoons, everyone was full of joy. Before the banquet officially started, the sound of drinking, guessing, boxing, and joking had already shaken the sky on Nujiao Island dyed with the afterglow of the setting sun. The joyful atmosphere evokes an unforgettable feeling for a lifetime. Xu Yeyue and other girls joined together in a group, occupying several extra-large tables at the edge of the square overlooking Maejima, chatting and laughing non-stop, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

At this time, seeing another warship approaching, Zuo Shixi said, "It must be Big Brother and Miss Xiuxiu." Xu Yeyue smiled and said: "Sister Shi cares most about Uncle Lang!" Gu Qianlian said: "It doesn't look like it! How could Hero Lang come in such a big boat? In my opinion, if it's not Master Chen Xuan, Master Ye Sudong and the others, or Master Lan, in short, it can't be Lang Hero, who dares to bet with this girl." Gu Ningqing's voice came from Shuangxiu's wife, "Xiao Lian wants to gamble at every turn, what do you use to lose to others?"

The girls turned their heads happily, Reluctant and Feng Xinglie walked over from the crowd beside Gu Ningqing, who was full of poise. Gu Qianlian's pretty face was slightly red, and she said, "I'm just talking! Hee! But I know I will win." All the girls stood up and saluted the reluctant couple. Blonde beauties Yi Ji, Cui Bi, Xiao Linglong and Xiao Ju waited for the three to sit down and offered tea. Taking advantage of the arrival of the ship before it landed, he couldn't bear to look around at the beautiful sunset in the Dongting outside the island, and sighed: "The battle of the angry dragon is really a turning point in the Ming Dynasty's internal struggle. From this battle, Yun Wen's momentum will go from prosperity to decline. Now We can only try to preserve the capital and the state capital in the south of the Yangtze River, and we will no longer be able to go north to fight for the king of Yan.

Bo Zhaoru said: "However, most of the soldiers and horses in the world are still in the hands of Yun Wen. I'm afraid the situation is still not so optimistic?" Han Ningzhi said innocently: "With Han Lang helping him, what are you afraid of? Everyone says that the side Han Lang helps will surely win." Everyone laughed, but they also felt that what she said was not without some mysterious truth.People with luck always go together. Gu Ningqing said with a smile: "This may be the reason why King Yan is so eager to ask Han Bai to see him. Who wouldn't want to have someone who is blessed and blessed by his side?"

Zuo Shi and others had just arrived, and they didn't know about it yet, so they asked in unison. After Feng Xinglie said it, he announced: "I have just discussed with my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and decided not to delay the matter, and we will start immediately tomorrow morning." The girls didn't expect to be scattered so soon, and they didn't know if they would see each other again in the future, so they were so touched that they couldn't speak. Zhuang Qingshuang asked a little nervously: "Will Han Lang go?" Feng Xinglie said: "Why doesn't he go while there is excitement, he still has to go to Jingzhai to find Mengyao!" After speaking, he thought of Jin Bingyun, and felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

Xu Yeyue didn't know what was on his mind, she took Gu Qianlian's hand and cheered: "Okay! I can give Xiaolian a ride, and Shuang'er can see her parents." Zuo Shi remembered that she was pregnant with Liujia, and her physique was not as good as Zhuang Xu's two daughters, so she said sadly: "I stay here, you go!" Gu Zixian said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, now that we are the roost in the waterway, we can go there by boat, and sisters Shi, Rou and Xia don't have to be separated from Fu Lang." Rourou waited for this to turn her sorrow into joy.

Hongxiu complained and said: "It's good to go to the Long March too." Qi Changzheng's voice came over and said: "My dear, you're right. As a husband, I just discussed with my second uncle and the others, and decided to go with the regiment to be King Yan's close guard. Now the outcome is clear. As long as King Yan is still alive, and victory is ours." Han Bai who came with him said with a smile: "Sisters-in-law, the most important thing is to thank me. If I hadn't cried out to persuade Lao Qi to take back his original intention, he would have become a new generation of shadow eunuch immediately."

The girls burst into laughter immediately, while Gu Qianlian scolded the dog for not having ivory growing in its mouth. Han Huizhi just got a new friend named Gu Zixian, so she would be willing to leave tomorrow, she cheered and clapped her hands with joy, causing all the girls to warmly agree with her and make a commotion. Qi Changzheng squeezed between the two daughters, Han Bicui and Han Huizhi, and panted at Han Bai with a smile, "Be careful, I will...heh!" Seeing Gu Ningqing sitting here, he dared not say the word "castrate" . Fan Liangji and Yun Qing arrived as a pair, the former looked up at the warship that had just moored to the shore, and said with a smile: "It should be Lao Lang who is here!" Everyone laughed, Song Mei said: "Okay! Someone has bet on Miss Xiaolian." Fan Liangji grinned and said, "What is she betting on?" Everyone smiled and looked at Qianlian to see her reaction. Xu Yeyue and Gu Qianlian are the best friends, so they naturally stand on her side, and said disdainfully: "There are so many treasures in Wushuang's country, you can bet on anything, I'm afraid you can't afford to lose!" This extra-large table was crowded with nearly 20 people at the moment, and the pins couldn't be seated early, Feng Xinglie hurriedly gave way to Yunqing, and after he sat down for Yunqing, he stood behind Yunqing with Fan Liangji, and asked with a smile, "Will Yue'er also join the betting game?" Woolen cloth?" Yiji, Bicui, and Xiaoju all squeezed into Han Bai's side to take advantage of the excitement, and the kid interrupted excitedly: "Old... hey!" After glancing at Yun Qing, he changed his words: "Old Fan will bring out a treasure, bet A sweet kiss from Xiaolian!" Everyone booed together and became chaotic. Fan Liangji gave Han Bai a hard look and said, "This kid has been trying to find my wealth all day long." Gu Qianlian's pretty face was flushed, but she also liked to show her temper, she puffed her chest and said proudly: "Just bet! I will definitely win your treasure." Qi Changzheng smiled fiercely at Feng Xing: "People say that a promise is worth a thousand dollars, your little lotus is much more precious, a kiss is worth a treasure, I'm so envious of us." Amidst the loud laughter, everyone became curious about the incoming ship, wanting to know who the god was coming from, but a fortress blocked their sight and they couldn't see the guests landing. Han Bai said: "Brother Feng, don't take offense. I also want to kiss Xiaolian's face. Brother Fan and I have a brotherhood. Naturally, he will lend me another treasure to bet on me, and let me join the bet." Gu Zixian said with a smile: "This is so unfair. You are making big profits out of nothing. Your bet should be the face of one of your beautiful wives." Even more bold and unrestrained. Xu Yeyue laughed "Puchi" and said: "Your husband is so knowledgeable about etiquette, it's useless if he wins. I guarantee that he will be exempted from gambling debts." Feng Xinglie laughed loudly and said: "Yue'er is wrong, no matter you win or lose, I also want to kiss your face. Although Xiao Lian is not betting on the hero Lang, everyone has their own bets, but I bet on the hero Lang , Hey! So how can I win." Han Ningzhi couldn't figure it out and said: "Ningzhi is confused by what you said!" "True!" A powerful arrow with news rolled up from below was inserted into the big wooden stake at the end of the long stone steps up here, and the tail of the arrow could not stop shaking. This is the wooden post of the Nujiao Gang on the island, shooting arrows in sections, can convey the news quickly like a fireworks display. Qi Changzheng said emotionally: "Who is it? You are so anxious to pass the message on the wooden post, it should not be the uncle." He beckoned the guard who had just pulled out the long arrow. Gu Qianlian applauded: "Ha! I earned two treasures so easily, I can buy a lot of things and go back to Wushuang Kingdom." Bu She and Gu Ningqing looked at each other, and they both thought that if they really got the two treasures of the old thief, it would be of great benefit to the restoration of the country. Qi Changzheng took the long arrow at this time and untied the letter. Fan Liangji secretly thought that it seemed that he was going to lose anyway, so he said generously: "Xiao Lian is my good girl, no matter whether I win or lose, so what if I give you two treasures as a marriage?" Han Bicui and Han Huizhi leaned over to see the news from Qi Changzheng. Han Bicui was the first to shout: "It's terrible! Yue'er! So it's Old Man Xu who came!" Xu Yeyue's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief under the shock. Gu Qianlian applauded: "Okay! Xiaolian really won." Qi Changzheng laughed and said: "Xiao Lian was too happy, it was the uncle and the ghost king who came together, alas! I was so stupid, I missed the good opportunity to kiss Xiao Lian's face for nothing." When Gu Qian and Lianxia gave birth to jade cheeks, Han Bai jumped up and shouted: "Yue'er! Don't come with me to pick up Yue Zhang." Only then did Xu Yeyue know how to cheer and jump for joy, and took the lead to run down the mountain. Lang Fanyun and the handsome ghost king Xu Ruowu walked up the stairs leisurely, followed by Lian Xiuxiu, the Seventh Lady Yu Zhiyun, Tie Qingyi, Bi Tianyan, Qi Bo and Hua Er. Xu Yeyue ran wildly and threw herself into the arms of the ghost king like a bird, screaming and jumping, jumping for joy. The King of Ghosts put his arms around the fragrant shoulders of his beloved daughter, his love and affection were beyond words, he frowned and said: "I'm going to be a mother, if you don't check it out, what will you do if you get pregnant?" Turning to Han Bai who came in front of him, he scolded : "You have to take care of Yue'er!" Han Bai agreed with a playful smile. Lang Fanyun smiled and said: "This is the first time Nujiao Island has been so happy since the previous leader passed away." At this moment, everyone came to greet them one after another. Shangguan Ying, Ling Zhantian, Han Qingfeng, who were sitting in the hall as the chairmen, came out to welcome Lang Xu, Tie Qingyi, and Bi Tianyan into the hall, while Lian Xiuxiu was taken away by her. The girls dragged them to their seats to take advantage of the excitement. When Xu Yeyue saw Naifu, of course she clung to him. Mrs. Seven pulled Han Bai's sleeve, avoided the side, and whispered: "After staying here for a few days, the ghost king will take me to hide in the mountains, build his new ghost palace, and block the river for a battle. Will you come back to accompany him? Xiaoyun hopes that when the child is born, you will be by his side." Han Bai counted the days and knew how to make it in time, so he nodded and agreed. Seventh Madam smiled sweetly, and happily went to greet the girls. When Han Bai rushed into the lobby, the chairman at the top of the lobby was full of people. Lang Fanyun and Xuruowuzishi were in the upper seats, followed by the couple, Fan Liangji, Ling Zhantian, Shangguan Ying, Zhai Yushi, Feng Xinglie, Qi Changzheng, Lao Jie, Zheng Guangyan, Liang Qiumo, Tie Qingyi, Bi Tianyan, Jing Chengleng and others.All the nearby ten-odd circles are leaders in the coalition forces. When Han Bai sat beside Xu Yeyue, who was clinging to the ghost king like a bird, Shangguan Ying stood up and raised his glass: "All seniors, uncles and brothers, this first glass of wine is for the recovery of Jiao Island." for drink." The audience stood in awe and raised their glasses to the chief. Ling Zhantian raised his voice and said, "The second cup is to thank all good friends who gave charcoal in the snow and the ingenious plan in the rain." After the rounds of refilling, everyone booed together and drank the second glass of wine. The ghost king said with a smile: "Brother Lang! The wine must be poured three times. What are you celebrating with the third glass of wine?" Lang Fanyun raised his glass with a smile and said: "I wish King Yan will rule the world and all people will enjoy peace forever." Everyone applauded and drank it all in one gulp. After laughing for a while, everyone sat back in the original seats, chatted and laughed happily, and enjoyed the delicacies that were constantly served. At this time, Chen Xuan and Lan Zhiyuan rushed to the banquet, and they were overjoyed when they saw the ghost king, and they were very respectful. The two arranged to sit between Jingcheng Leng and Han Bai. Lan Zhiyuan reported the good news: "I just received the news from Shuntian just before I set off, King Yan defeated Li Jinglong, and the devil fled to Dezhou in a hurry, waiting to regroup." Everyone was overjoyed and asked for details. Only the ghost king's face was not happy, Lang Fanyun saw it in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, why don't you like the news?" Everyone was stunned, looking at the ghost king, even Zhai Yushi, the wise and scheming Sheng Zhuge, was also puzzled. The ghost king sighed: "Xiaodi is brave and knows how to use soldiers. If he is talking about tactics, he is not as good as Yuanzhang. However, he still has more than enough to win, but there are still a few years left." turning point." Fan Liang was very surprised and said: "Didn't King Yan just win a few big battles? Why does Brother Xu think that King Yan is a little bit worse?" Don't talk about other people, even someone as calm and sensible as Lang Fanyun aroused curiosity, waiting for his answer. The ghost king said indifferently: "Everyone is not as well aware of the situation inside and outside the court as Xu is, so you don't understand the subtleties. The most wrong move of Yunwen should be Li Jinglong as the coach. You can ask about this matter." Chen Xuan, let's see what he thinks." Chen Xuan nodded and said: "King Mighty Wu is right. Li Jinglong has never had anything to do with the military. In terms of seniority, he should not even be at the end of the team. He is responsible for flattening the other feudal clans. This is just a trivial matter. , the military generals didn't think it was a big deal. But if he was used as the commander in chief to fight for the King of Yan, no one would be convinced. On the contrary, it made people believe that he was the evil Buddha Zhong Zhongyou of the Destiny Sect, especially for him. Unfavorable. To be honest, this is one of the main reasons why I resolutely voted for King Yan." Lan Zhiyuan said: "According to the rumors from the capital, Mrs. Gong is most likely the daughter of Shan Yuru and Zhong Zhongyou. That's why Yun Wen used Zhong Zhongyou so much. Of course, the relationship between my family is different." Only then did everyone suddenly realize. Ghost King said: "I knew about this a long time ago. If Shan Yuru was still alive, the power relationship between Tianmingjiao, Zhong Zhongyou and Yunwen's mother and son should be buffered by her, and the balance of cooperation could be maintained. Shan Yuru's death, this balance If we can’t go on any longer, it will lead to the serious question of whether the Destiny Sect should be the master? Or the emperor’s Yun Wen. Bai Fanghua and others were forced to retire, and this is the real reason.” Zhai Yushi suddenly said: "Listening to Xu Lao's words is better than reading ten years of books. Therefore, the first task of Yun Wen is to hand over the military power to Li Jinglong, because no matter what, he will not betray his daughter and grandson." Reluctantly, he asked: "But what will happen if King Yan defeats Li Jinglong?" He used to be the ghost king's confidant general, so he spoke directly and frankly. This is exactly the question of everyone, and all eyes are focused on this one hand who helped Zhu Yuanzhang win the world, the only remaining veteran of the Ming Dynasty today. Xu Ruowu smiled and said: "The people of the Demon Sect are the most selfish, they only talk about harming others and benefiting themselves, and they never trust outsiders. So that day I knew that Yun Wen sent Geng Bingwen to attack King Yan, and immediately knew that the Church of Destiny would drag him down and make him He was defeated in order to deprive him of his military power, so that the southern army could fall into Li Jinglong's hands." Chen Xuan praised: "Although King Mighty Wu was not present, it was as if he had witnessed it. Afterwards, General Geng vomited bitterness to me. Although Yun Wen claimed to give him 300,000 soldiers, in fact he only had 130,000 soldiers. In addition, the use of soldiers is not as good as that of King Yan, so how can we not be killed and run away. But it is another matter to change Li Jinglong. He has mobilized half a million people in just over a month. It is still Geng Bingwen, maybe it is King Yan who is defeated." Xu Ruowu said: "This is the key point. If I were Xiao Di, I would try to trap Li Jinglong's army in the north. It would be best if Yun Wen still couldn't stop reinforcing. When it dragged down to the middle of winter, the southern soldiers could hardly resist the wind and snow. They collapsed without fighting, and when the southern army was trapped by snow on the ground, they went south to the Yangtze River with a surprise army and raided the capital by water. When Yun Wen still thought that Shuntian was in danger, he knew that disaster was imminent. What's more, Li Jinglong's long battle If you have no merit, it will shake the morale of the army, and many people have already surrendered without fighting." The people were overwhelmed by it, and deeply admired that there is no one under the fame, the King of Ghosts is indeed a heroic man who created the world. Lan Zhiyuan said respectfully: "Why doesn't King Mighty go to Shuntian to support King Yan to conquer the world?" Xu Ruowu and Lang Fanyun looked at each other with a smile, and said with a smile: "This should be something for you youngsters. Now Xu just wants to be proud of the mountains and forests, and do something that he has thought about for most of his life but has never done." Zhai Yushi humbly asked for advice: "Old Xu said just now that King Yan's great cause still has a few years of ups and downs, so where did he get it?" Xu Ruowu said nonchalantly: "The problem still lies with Li Jinglong. Relying on his relationship with Yunwen's mother and son, he will try his best to regain his strength and fight against the King of Yan again. But if he loses again, there will be a raging public opinion." , even Yun Yun's mother and son couldn't protect him, and lost confidence in him. At that time, the one who will confront King Yan again will not be Li Jinglong, an outsider who doesn't know the art of war, but a general who is good at leading troops and fighting." Everyone admired the ghost king's true knowledge and insight. Han Bai couldn't help but said: "My son-in-law is going to see the King of Yan by boat tomorrow, what does Master Yue have to say to the King of Yan?" Xu Ruowu laughed loudly, and said happily: "Xu has spent so much time, just waiting for someone to ask this question. Tell King Yan that the situation is different. This is not a fight for world hegemony, it's just coaxing among the royal family. If you can break the capital , the world belongs to him. But if he wants to conquer cities and loot pools, and occupy them piece by piece, then he will never be able to conquer the whole country when he dies. Don't forget that those who hate him are always better than those who obey him. That's too much." After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "This is my last advice to him from Xu Ruowu, and I won't care about his affairs in the future." Lang Fanyun laughed and said, "Brother Xu, are you interested in sitting on Lang's thatched reed?" Xu Ruowu said happily: "Of course I'm interested! Tell the truth! Xu is really not used to such a lively place." Everyone got up and saw them off, and then everyone in the lobby stood up. Xu Yeyue tentatively asked: "Can my daughter follow?" He caressed her hair emptily and affectionately and said: "The future will be long, I am most afraid that you will not be with Dad, so you represent me here to have a drink with all uncles and brothers... um... have a cup of tea." Go hand in hand with Lang Fanyun. After listening to Xu Ruowu's far-sighted words, everyone felt that the future was presented in front of their eyes, and fate had cleverly arranged the way forward for King Yan through Xu Ruowu's words.
