Chapter 24 Chapter 23

Yang Yizhi seemed to have rushed into a storm.Having lost the Kingdom of Fengyue, he was like a kite with a broken string in this war, easily crushed and torn apart by the hurricane.He didn't even know his direction and couldn't launch an effective attack. He wanted to rush into the city, and wanted to save one person, even if it was just one person.But in the end, he was lost in the storm of war, and could only block and charge mechanically. Zhuo Wanglu looked down at Lingshan City, seeing the white-clothed man floating like a lonely boat in the sea of ​​blood, unable to control himself.

----Even a very talented person is nothing more than that in war. A sneer. Yang Yizhi's confidence gradually crumbled. When can he save?He couldn't even guarantee his own safety.After the hurricane-like attack came, he could only rely on instinct to block it desperately, and was forced to retreat. Is his life like this?He has never really been autonomous, and anyone can push him to move in a direction he doesn't want. Father, Master, and the righteous elders all hope that he will become what they want to be.But is this really what he wants?A person with both loyalty and filial piety, a person with invincible martial arts, and a martial arts leader.Is this his direction?

Everyone is like a hurricane, blowing him at a loss and unable to control himself. But what would he do without these hurricanes? Has he ever had his own direction?Do you know what you want and what you want to do? He doesn't know. Until he met that water-red woman, it was a fluke in his life. He finally knew his direction.And prepare for a lifetime of persistence. Finally, the loud horn sounded.The Japanese army is retreating in an orderly manner.There is nothing left in this city, only death, corpses, blood, and ruins.When the scorching sun was shining, there was no Japanese army in the city.

The white clothes on Yang Yizhi's body were stained with blood. He stood in the center of the city, looking at the dead bodies all over the ground.Everything in this city is down, only he is still standing. He felt endlessly desolate. He raised his head, and on the top of the mountain, Zhuo Wangsun's gaze was as blazing as the sun. A strong impulse suddenly surged deep in his heart, and he walked towards Zhuo Wangsun step by step. Even if he were a true tyrant, he would disobey him. He stood in front of Zhuo Wangsun. Both of them suddenly found that the other's gaze was firm and cold.

This is something they were never familiar with. Yang Yizhi slowly thrust the long sword in his hand into the ground in front of him, blood dripped from the edge of the sword continuously, staining the soil red. This man who is as gentle as the moon has a hint of arrogance at this moment. "You said this was your war..." He stared at Zhuo Wangsun's eyes word by word. "you are wrong." "From this moment on, this will be a war between you and me!" "Until death." Zhuo Wangsun smiled. their war. Is he finally turning against himself? For the righteousness of martial arts, he never resisted.

For the great Ming Dynasty, he never resisted. Now, he resisted.Why?Is it just for this war? No. He doesn't think so. Their battlefield is not just this war.Once you start a war, there is no going back. Until death. That was exactly what he wanted to see. "Okay, I promise you." A mocking smile slowly spread in his eyes: "Please be prepared to wipe out the entire army." Hira Hideyoshi stared at the cup of tea in front of him. The curling water smoke rises from the tea, and the light blue tea soup seems to dye the rising mist green, like a distant ink landscape painting.

The lovesickness hidden behind the painting is like a lady painted by ancient methods. He was staring at her behind the tea smoke. He knew that she always wanted to see herself clearly and see through her secrets.That's how a woman wins the war.But he believed that she would never succeed. In the past few days, when he appeared in front of her, his appearance had never been the same.From a boy with slender eyebrows, to a king with red eyes and fiery pupils, to an elegant and graceful onmyoji in the Heian era.He still remembered the surprise on Xiangsi's face when he appeared in front of Xiangsi in the form of a woman.

At that moment, he believed that Xiangsi thought he saw a mirror. He couldn't help laughing.Possessing such a mysterious and terrifying ghost ninjutsu, it is absolutely impossible for Xiangsi to see his true face. That way, he can keep her by his side forever, looking at this cup of tea and this picture of a quiet lady. Xiangsi raised her head from the tea smoke: "What are you laughing at?" Hirao Hideyoshi stared at her, and the smile in the red eyes and fire pupils became more obvious: "Did you know? There was an unexpected change in the Koryo War." Acacia was not moved.She doesn't have much interest in war, except worrying about life.

"The Ming army split into two armies and fought each other." Acacia let out a light oh, but she still didn't seem interested. "Do you know who their commander-in-chief is?"He stared at Acacia. Xiangsi felt a faint unease in her heart: "Who is it?" Ping Xiuji said slowly: "One is Yang Yizhi, and the other is Zhuo Wangsun." With a clang, the tea bowl in Xiangsi's hand fell to the ground, and she opened her eyes wide in surprise: "How is it possible? How could they fight?" Hira Hideyoshi shook his head and asked, "Who do you want to win?"

Acacia suffocated.Who wins? Why should she answer this question? What can she answer? For some reason, this question made her a little guilty.She should have said Zhuo Wangsun's name without hesitation, but Yang Yizhi's figure suddenly floated across her heart.She was surprised to find that she actually believed that if this gentle man broke with Zhuo Wangsun, there must be a reason for him. Zhuo Wangsun must have done something wrong again. She was startled—how could she have such an idea? How can you question the Pavilion Master?Why do you trust this man in white so much? Since when did she have such an idea?

She sat down slowly, and was even more surprised to find that this thought had already existed deep in her heart, and it was almost impossible to change it. This made her fall into a deep daze. Hirao Hideyoshi stared at her with an extremely complicated expression on his face. Sometimes, he thought it would be nice if she was really a painting of a lady, so he could roll her up and put her in a brocade box.Don't be so anxious all the time. Yang Jisheng's face sank like water, and he sat on the chair of the grand master. Zhuo Wangsun stood opposite him with his hands behind his back. The location where the two were located was the huge tent where they sent their relatives off.The envoys from the Land of the Rising Sun had already left angrily, and the tent to greet the relatives was already empty, only the bright red lanterns were still hanging on the roof, which looked more like a shame hanging high. All this made Yang Jisheng furious.He felt that the face of the entire Ming Dynasty had been completely lost by these two people. Although the princess had always been fearless, she unconsciously felt short of breath in front of the old man, and stood silently behind the chair, not daring to look at him. Zhuo Wangsun's face was peaceful, with a faint smile.This made Yang Jisheng even more angry, and couldn't help but hum heavily, saying, "Shameless!" Zhuo Wangsun smiled and said, "How did Lord Yang see and say this?" Yang Jisheng said angrily, "Don't you feel shameless for making such a scandal on the princess' wedding day?" Zhuo Wangsun smiled lightly: "I thought this was a rare turning point." Yang Jisheng's voice was trembling: "What else can we do? Under the eyes of everyone, in front of the envoys of the two countries, the face of the Ming Dynasty has been completely humiliated!" Zhuo Wangsun was not in a hurry to answer, but waited for him to calm down before he said calmly: "What if I marry the princess? The princess has a clear reputation, and Ming Dynasty has a face, can't I have both?" Yang Jisheng said angrily: "Nonsense! The princess came here to make peace with the Land of the Rising Sun, but she married you. It must be a disgrace in history if it is spread out. How can you make up for it by marrying the princess?" Zhuo Wangsun said: "It's true that it can't make up for it." "But what about a declaration of war?" "What if I declare war on the Kingdom of the Rising Sun after marrying the princess?" The princess looked up in surprise.Zhuo Wangsun smiled lightly, like a rising sun illuminating the entire camp, his words were very soft, but they carried an irresistible force. The princess almost choked with surprise.She must not let Zhuo Wangsun declare war on the Land of the Rising Sun. She invited Yang Jisheng to scold Zhuo Wangsun angrily, just to ask Zhuo Wangsun to cancel the idea of ​​marrying the princess.But if Zhuo Wangsun declares war on the Land of the Rising Sun, Yang Jisheng will definitely be moved. After the declaration of war, the Sino-Japanese peace will naturally be invalidated.Zhuo Wangsun made such great contributions, it is not surprising that he married the princess.What Yang Jisheng and others wanted was for Zhuo Wangsun to fight against the Japanese country seriously, and they didn't care much about other things. What's more, the ambiguous situation between the two of them at that time was obvious to all, and they couldn't deny it no matter what.Now a paper marriage letter, it is always a good thing to be covered up. But for the princess, it was an unacceptable bad thing anyway. She must not marry Zhuo Wangsun.There is only one person she wants to marry, and that is Yang Yizhi. She snapped: "Don't trust him! He is a capricious man, and he will never keep his promise!" But her heart was slowly falling, because she found that Yang Jisheng's eyes were fixed on Zhuo Wangsun's face, and he didn't even look at her at all. "Is what you said true? Are you going to declare war on the Land of the Rising Sun?" "A real war?" Zhuo Wangsun nodded slowly: "A real war." He looked into the distance, showed his face and smiled, and added softly: "Until death." Yang Jisheng lowered his head and let out a long sigh. Zhuo Wangsun and his smile gradually became sarcasm: "Master Yang, I have more than one target to declare war on." "And your son." Yang Jisheng suddenly raised his head. Zhuo Wangsun said leisurely: "Doesn't Master Yang know that your son has rebelled against the court and acted as a rebel? He will fight against the court from now on, and will no longer be a member of the anti-Japanese army." Yang Jisheng's complexion turned pale in an instant. His son, how much harm has been done to him. From him, he saw light and also saw darkness.He used to be afraid that this son would bring him the fate of robbing his family and ruining his reputation, but he didn't expect that he still didn't get rid of this fate in the end. Yang Jisheng was old, ten years old in an instant. The princess couldn't bear it for a while.Why did he say that?This is not the case!She rushed forward: "Master Yang, you must not trust him! He..." She saw Yang Jisheng's eyes and stopped abruptly. Yang Jisheng seemed to see that it was a troublesome woman.If she wasn't a princess, he would definitely scold her angrily.This means that no matter what the princess says, he will not believe it. Perhaps, he would still think that what happened in the camp that day was all because of her seduction. At that moment, the princess felt so weak.She could only watch Yang Jisheng walk out of the tent.She suddenly turned her head and stared at Zhuo Wangsun fiercely. For the first time, she hated this man extremely. Zhuo Wangsun said lightly: "You don't believe what I said? Yang Yizhi really rebelled." The princess stared hard at him. "He is summoning all the leaders of the rebel army in Goryeo, and wants them to help him, but he forgot that Sunjo has been captured by the Japanese army. The Goryeo rebel army will never dare to resist. Therefore, the army he can raise is extremely large. Few. As for me, I have the Flying Tiger Army, Qianlong Army, and Suzaku Army under my command. Of course, there is also the Xuanwu Army you just sent." The princess said coldly: "You will definitely lose, definitely!" Zhuo Wangsun smiled: "Yes, if I let you do nothing, maybe I will really lose. I also have to admit that you do have some supernatural powers, you can recruit troops, and you can also get some weird weapons .You are the biggest variable in this war. If you let it go, maybe I will repeat the mistakes of the pirates in the South China Sea. So, I must marry you." "As a son-in-law, everything you have will belong to me. The army you recruit can only join my team; the weapons you plunder can only belong to me. You can't secretly deliver information for Yang Yizhi, because, You can't take a single step out of the Void White Moon Palace." The princess' face changed drastically.Almost all the calculations in her mind were seen through by Zhuo Wangsun.She would never allow him to do this, but she had no way to resist."I curse you!" she snapped. Zhuo Wangsun smiled: "Then you have to be brave. Because..." "The wedding is coming soon." The princess staggered back, almost falling.Zhuo Wangsun grabbed her wrist and lifted her up.Even a fall, without his permission, is not allowed. The princess looked at him with a hint of pleading.That was her lifelong happiness, not a child's play.But Zhuo Wangsun's face did not change at all. In front of this tyrant, pleading and praying are useless except to lose the last dignity. The princess was silent. Gradually, her face became calm: "Okay, I promise you." "But I have a request." Zhuo Wangsun looked at her: "Speak." She raised her head slowly, with determination in her eyes: "I did it. I have to face it myself." "The dignified princess of Ming Dynasty is definitely not a coward who dares to be or not to be." "I want to go to Seoul and resign myself!" Zhuo Wanglu couldn't help but be a little surprised by this sentence, this woman really has an unexpected side. resign in person?Isn't she afraid that the Land of the Rising Sun will tear her to pieces? He smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you." Yang Yizhi looked at these people. These people were all ragged and dull looking, sitting or standing in the hall in a state of despondency.Hard battles nearly crushed them.But these people are all the leaders of the Goryeo Rebel Army. As long as they trust him and fight together with him, he will have more than 20,000 troops.Although these soldiers have not undergone systematic training, he is confident that he can lead them against the Japanese army and tear apart a ray of dawn in the eastern sky. This is his only chance. Jin Huirong was smoking a pipe.The leader of the rebel army from Sangju was a farmer through and through. The invasion of the Sunrise Kingdom forced him to pick up a hoe and shed blood and sweat to defend his land.His concept has always been traditional, but it represents the opinions of the majority: "Our king, Xuanzu, is in the hands of Japanese pirates, and we cannot follow you to revolt." What he meant was very clear, as long as Xuanzu was in the hands of the pirates for a day, it would be impossible for these rebels to resist. This is also the reason why the Kingdom of the Rising Sun wanted to search for Sunjoo everywhere.A country cannot live without a king for a day.The king's fate is like heaven, as long as Xuanzu is in the hands of the pirates, no matter what they say, they can correct the king's fate so that they cannot resist. Yang Yizhi had expected such a situation long ago.He sighed softly: "What if I rescue Xuanzu?" Jin Huirong said firmly: "Then we will go with you. But now, we can only go with the pirates." Yang Yizhi: "Give me seven days, and I will definitely rescue Sunjo." All the rebel leaders looked at him and shook their heads.They didn't believe that this young and gentle man in white could rescue their king from the hands of 150,000 elite soldiers, it was impossible. Suddenly, a voice said: "I'll follow you!" Everyone was startled, and when they turned their heads to look, an ordinary-looking person stood up.Yang Yizhi recognized him as Guo Ning, Guo Zaiyou's nephew.After Guo Zaiyou died in battle, the leader of Guo's army was replaced by Guo Ning.The Taoist priest of the Qing Dynasty died in the Snake Valley just to protect the Guo family army. Guo Ning walked up to Yang Yizhi: "Although Guo's army has only two thousand people, we are willing to give our lives to Mr. Yang. Because the Taoist leader of the Qing Dynasty will never die in vain!" Yang Yizhi felt excited. Yes, Daoist Qing Shang will never die in vain.Even for the Taoist leader of the Qing Dynasty, he must win this war! The burden on his shoulders is so heavy. It is not easy to save Sunjo.No one knows where Sunjo was imprisoned.He was kept in a very secret place, only a few high-ranking Japanese soldiers would know. If he is not even sure where Xuanguo is, how can he be rescued? Yang Yizhi frowned, thinking deeply.Although he now has an army and more or less chips, with these chips, he is not enough to fight against Zhuo Wangsun or Ping Xiuji. Guo Ning led the troops to follow behind Yang Yizhi, they looked at Yang Yizhi anxiously and full of expectation.Can this man in white lead them to victory? Suddenly, a voice said lightly: "Don't come here without any problems." Yang Yizhi was shocked suddenly. In the wind and mist, a shadow can be seen faintly, standing quietly on the horizon.The sound of horseshoes sounded slowly, and the shadow moved towards Yang Yizhi. Countless shadows began to appear in the fog, surrounding Guo Jiajun in all directions. Guo Jiajun picked up the weapon in panic, Yang Yizhi sighed and signaled Guo Ning to stop resisting. Because, he saw clearly that the shadow was Zhuo Wangsun. There were at least 20,000 soldiers surrounding them.Two thousand against twenty thousand, he has no chance of winning. Zhuo Wangsun said indifferently: "Leader Yang is Leader Yang after all. In just one day, he has raised an army. I'm really impressed." Yang Yizhi said: "How did you find us?" He knew it was a stupid question, but he couldn't help asking.He was careful enough that he didn't alarm anyone when he led the Guo family army on the road.Zhuo Wangsun sent quite a few scouts, but Yang Yizhi knew where they were.He has avoided these probing horses. Zhuo Wangsun smiled: "Because you and I both know that there is only one place that can be used as a foothold now, and that is Xingzhou with natural dangers to rely on. And there is only one way to enter Xingzhou, so I don't have to investigate you at all. As long as you lie in ambush here, I will definitely be able to wait for you." Yang Yizhi nodded slowly.Yes, this is indeed a good strategy.He heaved a long sigh. Zhuo Wangsun said indifferently: "Do you want to fight me?" Yang Yizhi shook his head.There is no need to fight.If they fight, there will only be one end. These rebels will all die here. That was something he absolutely didn't want to see. Therefore, Yang Yizhi could only leave alone. When he left, Zhuo Wangsun smiled and bowed in salute. Because even Zhuo Wangsun couldn't keep him. They all knew this, so the battle ended quickly.The two thousand Guo family troops were all incorporated into Zhuo Wangsun's subordinates. Haengju is still a ghost city. Yang Yizhi is still alone.
