281 Internal and External Troubles
281 Internal and external troubles
When Zhong Shenghai pursued his dream, he did not ignore simple emotions such as marriage and having children.
However, in a chaotic world, he was unable to control himself. At the age of 30, Zhong Shenghai's first wife died of a conspiracy to kill him; at the age of 42, Zhong Shenghai's second wife and his children died of Anche bone attack. When Zhong Shenghai's magic skills were achieved and the king returned, he was slow to find that the power of appearance was not as meaningless as he initially imagined. After many emotional setbacks, his ugly appearance gradually became Zhong Shenghai's heart disease.
When the wife confessed to Zhong Shenghai, Zhong Shenghai smiled and shook her head, and advised her to marry another boy of the right age. It was because the wife recognized Zhong Shenghai and refused to let go no matter what, Zhong Shenghai welcomed her as her third wife. The old story was brought up again, and the wife dissipated her smile: "Zhong Shenghai, Zhong Shenghai, you always underestimate me. Did I care about a handsome and ugly vulgar woman? I vomited back then, but because of my low martial arts skills, I couldn't control my physiological reaction."
Mrs. Zhang Qingmeng walked to Zhong Shenghai, her eyes almost touching Zhong Shenghai's face: "Look, do I still vomit now?"
I get used to it as I vomited.
Zhang Qingmeng took a step back and opened the distance and continued to mock Zhong Shenghai: "Zhong Shenghai, I look down on you because you failed your wisdom and martial arts. With your martial arts talent, if we hadn't followed Emperor Wu to go further and further on the evil road, we would have overthrew Anchebo and established a new dynasty."
"The prodigal son, Jade Guanyin, God Lord, Emperor..., there are so many immortals in the world, why did you choose the most incomprehensible and delusional Emperor of Martial Arts?"
Faced with Zhang Qingmeng's ridicule and doubt, Zhong Shenghai's expression became calmer: "Qingmeng, your mother is a maid, and you were also a maid when you were born. Because your mother died early, you were lonely and helpless; because you didn't grow up when you were a child, you were regarded as an ugly girl and a stubborn girl. One day, you were bullied by other maids, and you did a day and night of work, but you were unable to eat a bite of steamed bun and drink a sip of hot water."
"When you are cold and hungry, you have to risk sneaking into the kitchen and steal the leftovers of the master's house. Then, you were caught by the kitchen manager, and you were beaten up without saying a word, and you fainted on the spot. The master thought you were dead and felt unlucky, so he ordered his servants to throw it to the deserted grave in the west of the city overnight. Two skinny wild dogs woke you up in the middle of the night, and I accidentally discovered that there was a dying little girl lying in the garbage dump beside the deserted grave."
Zhang Qingmeng interrupted Zhong Shenghai's review: "Is this the reason why I won't assign a maid to me?"
Zhong Shenghai was silent for several seconds.
Then, Zhong Shenghai closed his eyes: "I understand, you just don't want to suffer from the maid."
Zhang Qingmeng retorted: "So, even if I am the leader's wife, I have to wash clothes and cook and clean myself? When they enjoy the beauty of a girl, I will practice in the winter in the summer; when they kowtow and kneel down and stay safe, I will fight with the chariot bones at the risk of life and death. If I have no gains in my efforts, why should I work hard?"
Zhong Shenghai no longer intends to argue with Zhang Qingmeng, and a new topic said: "You only have first-grade, second-grade, and third-grade cultivation. You don't know what the super is, and you don't know where the key points of the super is. It's impossible to mix this cup of poison tea by yourself. This cup of poison tea is probably the poison given to you by the emperor. In this way, the emperor's commander led the six Han Haijie, Zhen Yansha, Sha Xiaoliu and others to siege He Luqian, which was also what you deliberately revealed to me?"
"The emperor is indeed good at conspiracy. He set up traps and hunted teachers in Changzhou, and he did not forget to seduce you to poison me."
"Forget it."
"As it happens, I, Zhong Shenghai, betrayed my relatives and have lost so much that I can't lose any more. You should be familiar with my personality, so don't waste time trying to persuade me to change my mind."
"Kill me directly!"
There was silence in the conference room. The guardians of the disciples, the guardians of the Zhongshu and the five hall masters all lowered their heads with complex expressions, as if they had not heard Zhong Shenghai's declaration of admitting defeat, nor did they hear Zhong Shenghai's generosity and stubbornness in proactively seeking death. After a few minutes of silence between them, Zhang Qingmeng took the lead in pulling out a dagger from his waist and walked towards Zhong Shenghai step by step.
At this time, another change suddenly occurred.
Qi Shifei, the victim who had been sentenced to death by Zhong Shenghai, overturned the wooden table in the conference room with excitement and shouted: "Enough!"
The player's live broadcast ended here, and the camera also swayed violently.
After a few seconds, the live broadcast screen becomes a black screen without content.
The live broadcast player then explained depressedly that Qi Shifei caused chaos in the Xinfeng Church conference room. He, other meeting recorders and waiters were all affected by the aftermath, and they died in an instant. Only when the anchor player and other players ran away and resurrected the corpse, can everyone know what chaos Qi Shifei caused and what he really wanted to do.

Three super-class practitioners including Ye Lan, Anchang, Li Bu, Shi Lie Suo'an ambush Bo Changwu. This victory and loss are related to the interests of millions of players in Yunzhou, Chengzhou, Yanzhou, Jingzhou and other places. It is naturally a major event that can be ranked alongside events such as "He Lu Qian attacks Haizhou, Changzhou" and "Banning Flag Rebellion".
The reason why the Xinfeng Sect's civil strife and Zhong Shenghai encountered back stabs was raised by the player group as the second major event that was tied with the former was because the internal struggles of the senior members of the Xinfeng Sect indirectly exposed the existence of immortals such as the Emperor and Emperor Wu. Behind He Luqian, Behind Bo Changwu, Behind Jade Guanyin Yan Ruyu, Behind Zhong Shenghai, Behind Emperor Wu, Behind Anchebo, the Emperor, Behind Anchebo, the Nine Great immortals, who are at the top of the indigenous world, appear in the player's vision for the first time.
In addition to the Feng Kingdom camp, players in the Wei Kingdom camp and other eight-nation camps are also curious about discussing the new concept of the immortal.
Amidst the chaos, He Luqian slowly understood why the emperor did not appear nearby.
The emperor knew that Emperor Wu and Zhong Shenghai had a deep affection, and Zhong Shenghai's level 108 strength could not be ignored - after all, the snake fairy dragon Xiuxiu was level 109, and the Jade Guanyin Yan Ru Yucai was level 106. He Luqian guessed that the emperor was not confident in fighting against the joint efforts of Emperor Wu and Zhong Shenghai, so he either tempted or threatened to surrender Li Bu, Wei Zhong'an, Yuan Xixin and other super-class practitioners launched multiple sieges against Bo Changwu and He Luqian in Jingzhou and Changzhou respectively, and surrounded Wei to save Zhao Silu to lure Emperor Wu to come to the south.
The emperor did not actually participate in the ambush against He Luqian because he needed to deal with Emperor Wu himself.
The emperor verbally said that he attached great importance to He Luqian, and the purpose was to attract Emperor Wu to come to the south; he actually felt that five super-grade practitioners, including Zhen Yansha, Sha Xiaoliu, Yuan Xixin, Wei Zhongan, Po Liu, Han Haijie, etc., were enough to surround He Luqian. He Luqian killed four super-grade practitioners at one time, which was beyond everyone's surprise.
===
The victory of counter-killing Zhen Yansha and others is worth celebrating.
Unfortunately, He Luqian has no time to celebrate.
Although I don’t know how Qi is ready to make a decision, Xinfeng Sect will definitely fall into irreconcilable chaos in a short period of time; Emperor Wu broke into the trap that the emperor deliberately arranged, and it is probably not optimistic; Bo Changwu suddenly faced the siege of three super-grade practitioners, and the situation was also extremely dangerous.
When the emperor dealt with Emperor Wu, Zhong Shenghai, Bo Changwu, he was very likely to pursue the victory and lead the Yan Luo Tianmeng to defeat the six Han Haijie, Ye Lan Anchang, Shi Liesuoan, Li Bu and even Luo's super-class practitioners to kill Haizhou. The current situation in the country has not only not turned to danger because He Luqian killed Zhen Yansha and others, but has become increasingly dangerous.
Raoxin County is about 1,300 kilometers away from Wuqiao City and about 3,700 kilometers away from Xinfeng Jiao Xinfeng Island. Bo Changwu and Zhong Shenghai will definitely not be able to wait for He Luqian's reinforcements. Whether the two allies will live or die in the future can only depend on their respective destiny.
What other allies are worth fighting for?
Yan Ruyu's face flashed through He Luqian's mind: "Yan Ruyu deliberately supported Bo Changwu and Li Bu rebelled, and I think he would not accept the failure calmly. I might try to unite with Yan Ruyu, and then through the friendship between Yan Ruyu and Long Xiuxiu and the true god, unite three or four immortals against the emperor."
===
He Luqian walked out of the wilderness and forests and returned to Raoxin County and Haizhou in a high-profile manner.
On the way back, the player forum promptly informed the follow-ups of two major events.
Bo Changwu was unexpectedly tenacious. He actually survived the siege of Ye Lan, Anchang, Shi Liesuoan and Li Bu at the cost of serious injuries. After Bo Changwu escaped and ascended to heaven, he first compromised and gave concessions to Shu Liyan and Du Shaoyao, appointed Shu Liyan as the governor of Chengzhou, and appointed Du Shaoyao as the governor of Yunzhou, strengthening their interests as much as possible. Secondly, Bo Changwu took the initiative to end the confrontation in Wuqiao City and withdrew the military camp back to Hengzheng County, Jingzhou, and recuperated in low-key care.
The follow-up of the civil strife in Xinfeng Sect is relatively confusing, making it hard to imagine the chaos at that time: Qi Shifei died in battle; the leader of the Heilong Hall died in battle; the leader's wife Zhang Qingmeng was seriously injured, and under the protection of the leader of the Huanglong Hall, Zhong Shenghai, who was weak in his hands and feet, fled into the sea.
In addition, there are also players who have added the recent trends of the South China Sea God Ni.
Around the same time when He Luqian was attacked, the Goddess of Yama quietly left the imperial palace of the capital and broke into the temple where the Goddess of the South Sea were temporarily living. If the Goddess of the South Sea had not received the warning from his disciple Bo Huanhuan in advance, the Goddess of the South Sea would have been so seriously injured as Bo Changwu even if he was lucky enough to escape the siege of the Goddess of Yama.
etc.
All the super practitioners with anti-stance positions encountered a life-and-death crisis almost at the same time.
The emperor mobilized the ability of super-quality practitioners, which made people feel heartbroken.
Especially the camp of the Youguo leader, He Luqian, from Ledong Island to Haizhou, and then to Changzhou, there were only one super-grade cultivator in He Luqian. If the emperor launched a comprehensive offensive against the Youguo and sent many super-grade cultivators to attack from all directions, even if He Luqian could escape the emperor's ambush, Fu Yongyou and other three masters of Anle, as well as other second-, third- and fourth-grade subordinates, they would probably die in large numbers in an instant.
When He Luqian is the only one left in the country of Ei, what's the point?
He Luqian needs allies or subordinates to help him share the pressure.
Unfortunately, there is a saying that blessings do not come in both ways, and misfortunes do not come in one single way.
When He Luqian returned to Haizhou, his assistant suddenly reported something disgusting.
===
South of Haizhou is Li Kingdom.
Because of the complicated history that is hard to describe, the Li Kingdom split into two countries more than a hundred years ago. It was called the Southern Li Kingdom and the Northern Li Kingdom more than 100 years ago.
There are many foreign countries coexisting in southern Xinjiang, among which four foreign countries have super-grade practitioners guarded them, and the two-part South Li Kingdoms and Bei Li Kingdoms happen to have super-grade practitioners in charge. Referring to the status of Yuan Dongke, Wei Yunfu and others in the Wu Kingdom system, you can simply imagine the important position of King Nanli and King Bei Li in southern Xinjiang.
Of course, King Nanli and King Beili were both weaker than those of Bo Changwu and Yuan Dongke. The most obvious and clearest difference was that except for their respective bloodline descendants, King Beili did not have subordinates at the level of first-class practitioners; in order to win over two first-class practitioners, King Nanli had to allow them to hereditate large areas of territory in the name of the duke.
The Southern Li Kingdom and the Northern Li Kingdom are hostile to each other. They not only seek support from allies in southern Xinjiang, but also attach great importance to the political attitude of the Wuguo and Wuguo.
For example, the seven counties between the Northern Li Kingdom, Haizhou, Lingzhou and Yunzhou, where the descendants of the former dynasty were currently separatist and independent. Rong Yuankuan, the contemporary heir of the descendants of the former dynasty, did not worship the Northern Li Kingdom, nor the Southern Li Kingdom, and surrendered to the Roman Dynasty wholeheartedly. After the collapse of the Roman Dynasty, Rong Yuankuan was loyal to Bo Changwu, the king of the Pingyun vassal state. The king of the Southern Li Kingdom was taboo to the Roman Kingdom, and the Pingyun vassal state of the protection of Rong Yuankuan, never dared to send troops to encircle and suppress the seven counties.
The above is the background of the border south of Haizhou.
When the emperor strangled He Luqian, Bo Changwu and Zhong Shenghai, he might have instigated the King of Beili Kingdom south of Haizhou. At the same time when He Luqian was attacked, the King of Beili Kingdom sent troops to raid the seven counties of Rong Yuankuan, a descendant of the previous dynasty.
It would be fine if the King of Beili Kingdom's goal was to strangle Rong Yuankuan. He Luqian had no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of Li Kingdom for the time being, nor was he prepared to waste resources to rescue Bo Changwu's vassal.
The problem is that the king of Beili Kingdom was too arrogant.
When the King of Beili Kingdom attacked Rong Yuankuan, he not only maliciously crossed the border and invaded Haizhou, but also sent elite troops to occupy two counties in Haizhou in the name of raising military rations. Less than a quarter of an hour occupied by the county towns of the two counties, the generals of Beili Army launched an unscrupulous and organized robbery under the name of local grain merchants having an affair with Rong Yuankuan.
Liu Dezhong, a first-class practitioner who was responsible for guarding the southern border of Haizhou, provided reinforcements to the dead towns and counties as quickly as possible.
However, just as Liu Dezhong was preparing to annihilate the Beili army led by only a third-rank general, he was blocked by Fu Yongyou who arrived almost at the same time. Fu Yongyou said that the national ambition was difficult, and some things should be tolerated, and Haizhou must not arouse the hostility of a super-class practitioner any more.
Fu Yongyou is the right prime minister, the leader of the Anle King faction, and the head of the Shanhai Association. His influence in Wei is second only to He Luqian. As an old general of the Pingyun vassal state, Liu Dezhong is truly willing to do something practical to win the trust of He Luqian, but he cannot ignore Fu Yongyou's opinions.
Therefore, two first-class practitioners actually watched the Beili Army burn, kill and loot in Haizhou.
In order to show that the country of Wu had no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of Li, and to show the friendship between Haizhou and Beili Kingdom, Fu Yongyou not only paid a batch of food and money to the Beili Army generals who were only third-rank in strength during the Qujie week, but also took the initiative to send a batch of food and money from the Beili Army and actively assisted the Beili Army in suppressing Rong Yuankuan's remnants.
After reading the relevant files, He Luqian was immediately furious.
Did Fu Yongyou deliberately disgusting people?
He Luqian knew that Fu Yongyou had the shortcomings of internal severity and external cruelty, so after he captured Haizhou and Changzhou, he deliberately and indirectly deprived Fu Yongyou of the power to interact with the outside world. Until now, Fu Yongyou has been responsible for pacifying the surrendered officials of the Haifan clan in the first and second sectors. Although many of his actions are still unhappy, he is still a qualified bureaucrat in general.
Fu Yongyou went to the Haizhou border to contact the Beili Army today, which not only instantly amplified his internal and external ruthlessness, but also seriously exceeded his authority.
