"What?"

Yao Ruoyu stood up suddenly, looked at He Li, who was kneeling down on one knee, and said in surprise: "Has Evergreen Valley been destroyed?"

He Li nodded and replied, "Yes, it is said that Emperor Zhao of Song broke through the Eight Realm not long ago, and then issued an order to recruit all the monks in the Jianghu of the Southern Song Dynasty to join the army. Fengxue Shenshan and Dabei Cizhai have been summoned to surrender, but Changqing Valley is unwilling to obey the order. The valley master Xie Chenghong was killed by Zhao with his eight-level magical powers."

Yao Ruoyu was slightly confused. Although he had not had much contact with Xie Chenghong, he had received a lot of kindness from Evergreen Valley over the years. If he had been very Green Valley back then, he would have died due to the disadvantages of tricks.

With five fingers held, Yao Ruoyu clenched his teeth and said angrily: "Zhao is too bullying!"

He Li lowered his head slightly and said solemnly: "It is said that Xie Chenghong had dismissed his disciples in advance. He was the only one who stayed in Evergreen Valley that day. At present, the Southern Song Dynasty is in the area where all the disciples of Evergreen Valley are wanted."

Yao Ruoyu's eyes were fixed and he said in a deep voice: "Qincha Mansion and Misheng Mansion immediately sent people to the Southern Song Dynasty to find a way to find them, and then take them all back."

"Here!" He Li keenly sensed Yao Ruoyu's angry flames under his calmness, and quickly bowed to take the order.

Just as He Li was about to get up and retreat, a soldier suddenly came to report to him outside the Gantian Palace, saying that there was a group of people outside the Wen Palace, claiming to be the disciples of Changqinggu.

Yao Ruoyu's face changed drastically when he heard this. He swept his mind outwards, and immediately turned into a shadow and immediately fled to the palace gate.

At this time, there were a large number of men and women outside the Palace of King Wen. The leaders had a strong aura and their souls were lingering. It was obvious that they were all masters of the Sixth Realm.

Although the other party has already indicated their identity, the Tiance army at the gate of the palace is still extremely vigilant. There are countless spiritual crossbows aiming at this place in the dark. As long as the other party makes any moves, they can immediately launch a fierce attack.

Yao Ruoyu suddenly appeared and immediately alarmed everyone, but when he could see clearly it was him. The soldiers stationed in the palace gate bowed one after another, while the people in Changqing Valley showed joy.

Waving his hand to signal the soldiers beside him to put down the alert, Yao Ruoyu quickly walked to Ninghe and bowed, "Master of the Hall."

Seeing that Ning He wanted to speak but stopped, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "The disciple is a disciple of the Changsheng Temple, so the master of the hall does not need to worry."

Ning He then breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Jing came up and laughed: "I just said he would not change, just you think too much."

Yao Ruoyu looked at everyone and found that there were only a few hundred people. He frowned and said, "This..."

Seeing his thoughts, Cuixi, the head of the Green Leaf Hall, shook his head and said softly: "Many people have family burdens and cannot come with us."

Yao Ruoyu also understood that he was extremely protective of his son and naturally understood the importance of family affection to a person. After all, Dawen was an enemy country in the Southern Song Dynasty, so it was normal for them to abandon their families and seek foreign enemies.

Ning He also briefly told Yao Ruoyu about some situations. After hearing that Zhao was the order, Xie Chenghong immediately dismissed his disciples and asked the elders of Ninghe, Liujing and other places to take their disciples to Sichuan and Chongqing overnight.

The interior of the Evergreen Valley is composed of seven halls, including green leaves, immortality, giant trees, willow vines, and foreign affairs. Among them, there are three to five spiritual courtyards in the four halls, green leaves, immortality, giant trees and willow vines, and there are about 8,000 people inside and outside.

However, most of them were dragged down by family members or were unwilling to betray the Southern Song Dynasty, so only about 900 people were willing to come to Sichuan and Chongqing with Ning He and others.

Among them, Ninghe eliminated more than 300 people with cultivation levels below the fourth realm. After all, their escape this time will definitely lead to encirclement and suppression of the Southern Song Dynasty. They have to pass through Jiangxi Road and Jinghu North Road and other chaotic places halfway. Too weak cultivation will drag down the action.

In the end, only Ninghe, Mu Langya and more than 400 people were left.

Yao Ruoyu sighed and asked, "The master, what are your plans now?"

Seeing that everyone was about to speak but stopped, Yao Ruoyu smiled helplessly and said, "I don't like to interfere in the affairs of the world, and I have never planned to directly control the martial arts world. As long as I am calm and do not participate in the rebellion, my Dawen will support me more."

"If you plan to rebuild the Evergreen Valley, I will ask the Sky Palace to choose a mountain range with abundant spiritual energy for you," Yao Ruoyu paused, and continued, "If you plan to forget hatred and live a simple life, I will never stop you."

When Su Jing heard this, he clenched his iron fist and said angrily: "The Valley Master died tragically, and this hatred is irreconcilable. As the disciples of the Evergreen Valley, how can we forget our hatred? Junior brother, do you look down on us?"

Everyone was also excited by Yao Ruoyu's words. If they were not afraid of the other party's eight-level cultivation, they would be afraid that someone would have jumped out and pointed at Yao Ruoyu and scolded him angrily.

Suddenly, someone walked out of the crowd, and it was Xie Fusheng, the son of Xie Chenghong.

He came to Yao Ruoyu, took out a book from his sleeve and handed it over, and said in a deep voice: "Junior brother, this is what my father asked me to give to you before we set off."

Yao Ruoyu was stunned, reached out to take it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "All things are evergreen?"

"What?" Mu Langya, Liu Jing and others were also shocked.

Xie Fusheng seemed a little unwilling to accept it, but at the end he gritted his teeth and said, "My father asked me to tell Your Majesty that as long as Your Majesty is willing to swear, he will not forbid the world's cultivation and inheritance, nor will he use force to restrain the people of the Jianghu as a hawk. I, the Evergreen Valley, are willing to join the Tiance Mansion for the purpose of sending you."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, because even Ning He, who was the oldest, didn't know about this.

Yao Ruoyu held "Eternal Green" in his hand, and was silent for a while. He suddenly smiled and raised his hand and said, "When I ascended the throne and became emperor, I vowed to the public to set up a school in each county, a school in each county, and a college in each state. It is necessary for everyone to have books to read, to know literacy and rituals."

"Then now, I will add another swear. In the future, there will be no such thing as banning martial arts and spiritual powers in my great literature. Every school, Xuezhai, college and the academy will set up a special Lingwu course to invite monks from all over the world to teach. In addition to being knowledgeable and well-educated, our people in the dynasty must also be good at martial arts."

Xie Fusheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly and bowed: "Xie Fusheng, the grass people, are willing to work hard for Your Majesty in the future!"

"Everyone is good at martial arts?" Ning He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled comfortably, and bowed, "I would like to enter the Tiance Mansion to open up the territory for my great literature and unify China!"

After a little silence, Su Jing, Mu Langya, Cuixi, Zhou Damu and others bowed and clasped their fists and responded in unison.

*—*—*—*—*

Changzhou.

Seeing the Japanese army retreating like a tide in front of him, Yang Yanzhao's face was as deep as water.

In the past few days, Yang Yanzhao led the army and the Japanese army to launch fierce battles around Changzhou, and each other won and lost.

But two days ago, Hattori Hanzo, Baidi Santafu and other Japanese ninjas sneaked into the Southern Song army camp and successfully assassinated the Minister of Works Wen Tianxiang, Bao Zheng, Lu Chenghuan, Wei Jinxiu, Chen Qiaojun and others, and were mostly injured.

Fortunately, Li Yuezhou led the Confucian people to arrive and used Haoran's righteousness to force out the movements of a group of ninjas. Except for the top ninjas such as Hattori and Hattori Hanzo, the rest of the ninjas were surrounded and killed in the military camp.

But now that Wen Tianxiang has fallen, Bao Zheng is seriously injured again. It is really difficult to take the seventh level of Yang Yanzhao and Li Yuezhou.

Clang! In the sky, Li Yuezhou, who had just finished fighting with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, floated back to the formation.

As soon as he landed, Li Yuezhou staggered slightly, and a bloody color surged on his pale cheeks.

Yang Yanzhao hurriedly reached out and helped him, saying solemnly: "Brother Li, how are you?"

Wiping off the blood from the corners of his lips, Li Yuezhou said in a deep voice: "You can still fight."

Seeing his expression, Yang Yanzhao's heart sank slightly and glanced at the entire army. Now there are only seven left in the six realms of his own, but among them, Lu Chenghuan, Chen Qiaojun, Wei Jinxiu, and Hu Jianghai, all Confucian scholars who practiced with the help of the Southern Song Dynasty. Their combat power was weaker than that of the same level. Although the remaining Yang Yanqi, Fu Lou and Xie Li were brave, they could not stop the opponent's sixth realm power at least twice.

Because Chu Kuangge and others took away a large number of elite troops when they went north, the northern border of the Southern Song Dynasty is now in short supply and they are forced to be divided into two fronts.

In addition to him, the Yiwu army under Zong Ze's jurisdiction and the former Jiangnan Road official Wang Tao and the remaining Jiangnan Road army under Zhang Liang were fighting against the enemy in the Tongzhou area.

Because both masters and troops are extremely lacking, the overall combat power of the Song army is actually weaker than that of Japan with Beili support. If Yang Yanzhao had not had the great military strategy and had defeated the strong several times, he would probably be still entangled with Japan in Xiuzhou Prefecture and Huzhou.

Suddenly, Wei Jinxiu asked, "Brother Li, can you ask when will the help from Dabi Cizhai arrive?"

Li Yuezhou was stunned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, and hesitated: "I don't know, when I left that day, they seemed to be planning something, but the Master Mingzhai said that he would come to reinforcements in at most half a month."

"Half a month?" Lu Chenghuan frowned slightly, "Now we can hold on for at most for another three days. If they are not yet in three days, we can only withdraw our troops first and then attack Changzhou again."

As the few people were talking, Yang Yanzhao suddenly looked back and laughed: "It seems that there is no need to wait."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Li Yuezhou immediately woke up and looked back. Sure enough, he saw more than a hundred figures flying from behind the battlefield. The woman in the lead was Yu Furong, the great elder of Dafeng Cizhai.

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred masters from Dafeng Cizhai had arrived in front of the army. But for some reason, they actually brought a coffin, which was supported by eight disciples, and surrounded by four or five six realms, as if they were guarding the coffin.

Seeing the coffin, Yang Yanzhao's eyes twitched and frowned and said, "Is this brought it here? Is it too dangerous? Have you already controlled it?"

He asked three questions in a row, and everyone else was stunned. Chen Qiaojun's heart moved and felt that Yang Yanzhao seemed to know what was inside the coffin.

At the same time, when he heard Yang Yanzhao's inquiry, Yu Furong smiled slightly and bowed, "Please rest assured, Lord Shangshu, for this matter, all my staff have been dispatched, and the master and others are seriously injured in this regard. They are currently recuperating in the vegetarian room, so the team will be led by the civilian girl."

*—*—*—*—*

Just when the masters of Dafeng Cizhai arrived in Changzhou, on the coast where the Japanese army landed that day, a young man wearing shabby clothes and two short knives hung around his waist walked alone from the sea to the shore.

After one incense stick, hundreds of Japanese soldiers stationed here died in the city near the coast, leaving only the man with two short swords hanging on his waist slowly walking out of the city.

The direction...is Changzhou!
