Chapter 607: The Return of A Fei and Ximen Rou
"What...what is this?"
Above the sea below, a huge abyss like a black hole was constantly devouring the sea water, forming a huge, rapidly rotating vortex, sweeping all living things in the sea water into it.
Looking at the strange scenes on the sea, Chu Zheng, Dongfang Bai, A Qing and He Lan'er were stunned.
When Ah Qing asked a question, he seemed to ask himself, but he seemed to be asking Chu Zheng.
The four of them are now located in a certain sea area two hundred miles away from Chenxi Island. There were originally several small islands here, but now all the islands have sunk to land. Wherever the island was originally located, the black hole abyss and huge vortexes that we saw in front of us formed.
Several foreign merchant ships leaving Chenxi Island were swallowed by the sea and were shattered into pieces.
Even though Chu Zheng had read the relevant description in the emergency report on Chenxi Island, he still gasped when he saw it with his own eyes.
He, Dongfang Bai, A Qing, and He Lan'er, who had just practiced the eight desolate six-heaven, had achieved some success. He Lan'er, who had finished her retreat, originally came here sitting on the sea dragon, trying to see how serious the so-called strange phenomena of heaven and earth were. Unexpectedly, when approaching here, the sea dragon made a terrifying scream, and then tried hard to flow out, but the centripetal force of the sea vortex was too strong, and it kept pulling the sea dragon to slide towards the abyss.
Fortunately, at that critical moment, Chu Zheng hugged He Lan'er and jumped into the air, standing in the wind, Dongfang Bai and A Qing could also fly in the wind for a while, and then jumped up.
He Lan'er was quick-witted and took the sea dragon back into the "Boss' Book of Subduing" before it was about to fall into the abyss in the sea, allowing the sea dragon to escape, otherwise she would probably lose such a precious sea dragon.
After looking for a while, I found that the huge abyss still showed no sign of being filled. Chu Zheng probably had mostly changed the crust under the sea, causing the island to sink land, and there was also a hole in the ground with a terrifying scale, which sucked the sea water in.
This is the sign of the great disaster in the world?
"Let's go back." Although Chu Zheng and the other two walked against the wind, they had not reached the realm of Feixian after all, and the time in the air could not last long. Chu Zheng hugged He Lan'er and took Dongfang Bai and A Qing to five or six miles away. Before he could do his best, he fell back to the sea surface. He Lan'er summoned another female sea dragon and rode the sea dragon back to Chenxi Island.
After seeing one of the world changes with one's own eyes, Chu Zheng finally had to believe that the great catastrophe in the world would really come, and then the sky would collapse and the earth would be broken, and the world would also move towards destruction.
Although I don’t know the specific reason for the great disaster in the world, Chu Zheng must not sit idly by.
For others, this is just a virtual world of games, but for Chu Zheng, this is a real world, and a world where people's hearts are simple and let him find the feeling of home.
No matter what, we must stop this great disaster in the world!
According to Qin and Qin Ruyun's mother, if you want to stop the great disaster in the world, you must conquer at least three imperial capitals. With the formation of the heaven and earth formed by the dragon energy accumulated for many years, the above ancient divine weapons are used as the pillars of heaven and earth to support this world.
And the deadline is one and a half years.
Chu Zheng sighed. He said it was three years ago, but now it is changed to one and a half years. No one can tell whether Qin Ruyun's mother will tell him that there is only half a year left next time.
In any case, we can only achieve our goal for one and a half years.
But with the current strength of the Young Marshal's Army, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to achieve this goal. The only thing that can be feasible is to take advantage of wisdom.
Chu Zheng found Luo Qifei, who was in charge of intelligence, and ordered him to send additional spies to several imperial capitals such as Chang'an, Yangzhou, Jinling, and Yancheng to collect intelligence as much as possible, including the number of troops stationed, the factional struggles of officials at all levels, etc., to find opportunities to take advantage of.
Then in the next month, he took charge of Liangdu step by step, sorted out many affairs after the last battle with the Li family, such as pensioning for the fallen soldiers, rewarding the three armies, providing relief to the people displaced due to the war, selection and appointment of officials, recruiting and training of soldiers, and of course, the alliance with King Dou Jiande of Xia, preparing to attack and attack Liu Wuzhou, etc.
This Liu Wuzhou is like a poisonous snake behind the Young Marshal's Army. If it is not destroyed, it will be difficult for the Young Marshal's Army to concentrate on development.
The affairs were very complicated. Fortunately, the Young Marshal's Army has long since become the first strait troupe, but has established an extremely formal imperial institution.
The top of the imperial institutions are naturally the three commanders - Chu Loujun, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Next is the chief military advisor Xu Xingzhi, Ren Meimei, who is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, Chen Laomou, who is in charge of the Ministry of Works, Chen Jiafeng, who is in charge of the Ministry of Justice, and who is in charge of the Ministry of War, who is in charge of the Ministry of War, has only come to join the veteran Yang Gongqing in the past six months.
During this process of resisting the invasion of Lijia, Yang Gongqing cooperated with Xu Xingzhi to coordinate the entire army mobilization and supply of food and grass, and showed outstanding talents. He was responsible for the Ministry of Reign of the Reign of the Ministry of War, which was originally appointed by Xu Xingzhi.
In terms of intelligence, he is still in charge of Luo Qifei.
The generals of the Young Commander Army were also full of talents. The seven thousand cavalry of the former Xiangcheng Army had secretly joined the Young Commander Army, and the former commander Ge Feng continued to lead.
Because the generals of Chenxi Island were at the gate, they also began to strengthen communication with the generals of the Young Commander's Army, and the three teams were accelerating the integration.
Bu Tianzhi and Xu Fangyuan were respectively appointed as the chief and deputy commander of the Navy of the Young Commander Army.
In addition, there were Xuan Yong, Tong Hai, Cheng Sanniu, Gao Zhandao, Chen Changlin, Bai Wenyuan, Jiao Hongjin, Zuo Xiaowen, Qin Chaowen, etc. Among the captured generals of the Li family, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing, Luo Shixin and other generals who were not from the children of the aristocratic families finally agreed to Chu Zheng and would join the Young Marshal's Army after the Qin King Li Shimin arrived in Chang'an. During the negotiations with the Li family, the families of several important generals of the Tiance Army, such as Yuchi Jingde and others, were sent to Liangdu, to release the Qin King.
It can be said that the young marshals are full of talents now, and there are countless people coming to join the young marshals. Chu Zheng ordered the selection of martial arts masters with first-class martial arts skills and above, and formed a special team called "Nighthawk", which actually selected nearly 6,000 people.
Such a powerful "Nighthawk" is beyond the reach of even the world's largest beggar sect, which is known as the cloud of experts. Perhaps only the Qinglong Society, which was once extremely prosperous, could be comparable to it.
In the end, the six thousand "Nighthawks" were temporarily led by Zhang Wuji. However, although Zhang Wuji is extremely skilled in martial arts and medical skills, his management skills are indeed a bit lacking, so Chu Zheng just asked him to help him watch and wait until he has a suitable candidate before replacing them.
...
It is precisely because of the abundant civil and military talents and the establishment of the court system that Chu Zheng could handle it even though he lacked government experience.
While handling military and political affairs, Chu Zheng often took a break from his busy schedule and did not forget to spend more time with the girls around him. He knew that once he launched a plan to guide the four imperial capitals, he would not have much time to accompany Guo Xiang, Ajiu, Cheng Lingsu, Li Wenxiu, and Shui Sheng. Dongfang Bai didn't need to be deliberately accompanied. Basically, when there were no other girls around Chu Zheng, she would appear next to Chu Zheng like a shadow.
However, Chu Zheng also discovered that the girls around him seemed to be divided into three groups, Guo Xiang and Ajiu were obvious groups. In the past, Guo Xiang mentioned visiting Chenxi Island, but now he never mentioned it.
Cheng Lingsu and Shui Sheng are also obvious groups. They stayed on Chenxi Island, neither Xiangcheng nor Lingjiu Palace.
In Lingjiu Palace, there are Li Wenxiu and Zhou Zhiruo... Oh, Zhou Zhiruo and Chu Zheng are just good friends, or unnamed master-disciple relationships. However, after hearing that Master Miejue did not return to Mount Emei, Zhou Zhiruo stayed and stayed in Lingjiu Palace to practice the free sword technique. Li Wenxiu and her got along very well, probably because the two girls had the independent and stubborn temperament, and they were quite sympathetic.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo is quite sensible. Every time Chu Zheng comes to see Li Wenxiu, he will make excuses to avoid it, but he will not become a light bulb.
The only place where these three groups of girls overlapped their itineraries was Liangdu. They (except Zhou Zhiruo) were all pulled by Chu Zheng through the teleportation gate to Liangdu, of course, at different time periods.
This is also the way Chu Zheng takes the most to accompany his girlfriend - to inspect the people's conditions, and can also be regarded as an autumn outing.
Through this semi-relaxation and half-working method, Chu Zheng can truly understand his words, which will affect the livelihoods of the people of Suizhou. Therefore, he went from being tired of dealing with government affairs at the beginning to gradually being a little concerned.
Of course, Chu Zheng, who is used to freedom, his life as a "king" is still a bit like a cage, and he can never stay there. If Kou Zhong had not "escape" to attack Chuanzhou, Chu Zheng would have thrown away all the government affairs in his hands.
It is worth mentioning that Xu Xingzhi and others jointly proposed the suggestion of making Chu Zheng become king, but Chu Zheng declined without hesitation. Now the great disaster in the world is coming soon. If this "big disaster in the world" is not solved for a day, the world may be destroyed in a year and a half, and he will still be a nonsense king. Moreover, with his free and used to being free, he really can't imagine how he is a king.
On this day, the chief guard of the personal guard sent the latest battle report. Kou Zhong, who was conquering Chuanzhou, met Xu Ziling. Then the young commander's army surrounded Shucheng. Xu Ziling entered the city alone and successfully persuaded Shucheng to surrender. The young commander's army did not lose one soldier and one soldier, so he took the capital of Chuanzhou into his pocket.
At this point, Sichuan Province has basically been regarded as the territory of the Young Commander's Army.
What made Chu Zheng most happy was that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were finally back!
After dealing with government affairs for nearly two months and participating in negotiations with Li Tang, Chu Zheng was already quite tired. If it weren't for Xuxing's talent as a prime minister and who helped Chu Zheng share most of the workload, Chu Zheng felt that he would probably not even have the leisure time to accompany his girl on an autumn outing... cough... to inspect the people's conditions.
Moreover, with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling here, he also has people who can discuss major issues, such as conquering four imperial capitals in the remaining year and five months... This plan is too crazy, and Chu Zheng did not dare to mention it with Xu Xingzhi, so as not to scare the chief military advisor.
Time flies, and two more days later, Chu Zheng finally finished handling the government affairs at hand and was about to meet Ajiu. After all, the little girl came to Xiangcheng to see him. He had not been able to accompany this girl well yet, but suddenly received a message from Qin Ruyun from Golden Eagle.
Qin Ruyun went to the Ming Cult's main alfred Guangmingding to seize the ancient divine weapon "Shennong Ruler". She went there for more than two months. During this period, there would be a Golden Eagle message every two or three days, but she had not received any news from Qin Ruyun in the past five days. Chu Zheng also planned to go offline to find Qin Ruyun at night, but unexpectedly she received her message.
Chu Zheng opened it and looked closely, frowned.
There has been a fierce battle in Guangmingding. First, the six major sects besieged Guangmingding, which caused both losses. Ding Peng, the leader of the Rakshasa Sect, suddenly brought a large number of top masters to seize the Shennong ruler. If Qin Ruyun had not helped, the six major sects and the Ming Cult would have been destroyed.
Now Qin Ruyun is looking for the Shennong ruler while protecting the core personnel of the six major sects and the Ming Cult.
Yes, the Shennong ruler has lost its trace in the melee and is no longer at the top of Guangming. No one knows where the Shennong ruler has gone for the time being.
In the letter, Qin Ruyun said that everything was fine, so that Chu Zheng would not have to worry.
After reading the letter, Chu Zheng was half happy and half sad. He was naturally happy that Qin Ruyun was safe and sound, but he was worried that Shennongji was missing.
To resolve the great disasters in the world, at least three ancient divine weapons are needed. Qin Ruyun has a "Fengwu" in her hand. If she gets the Shennong ruler and finds the Tianjing, then she will get three of them together.
Especially the news that "Tianjing" has not yet reappeared, I only know that it is in Xie Xun's hands.
At this time, Wei Zhibai, the chief guard of the personal guard, came to report that A Fei and Ximen Rou were back.
Chu Zheng was overjoyed and hurried out to greet him.
Sure enough, seeing A Fei and Ximen Rou return together, they also brought back Ding Chunqiu, whose martial arts were deposed.
The three of them parted in mid-May, but now it is September. They haven't seen each other for more than four months. I feel happy to meet again.
Chu Zheng regarded A Fei and Ximen Rou as his good friends and brothers in his heart, and when they came back, his "Nighthawk" would have a suitable commander.
When Chu Zheng saw that although Ximen Rou was full of dust, she was very energetic. Her martial arts cultivation had made great progress and she had firmly stood at the realm of "returning to nature" and was so happy for the two of them.
After A Fei and Ximen Rou came out of bathing and changing clothes, Chu Zheng stopped looking for A Jiu and took the two of them to have a meal and drink together.
At the banquet, Chu Zheng asked about his uprising brother Xiao Feng. He was worried about Xiao Feng these days. After all, Xiao Feng is the king of the Khitan's Southern Court, and it is very easy for him to become the target of public criticism when he enters the Central Plains alone.
So he has always been paying attention to Xiao Feng through the intelligence network of Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands and Lingjiu Palace, but he knows it unknown. At this time, A Fei and Ximen Rou returned, and Chu Zheng wanted to know more.
It turned out that Xiao Feng, A Fei and Ximen Rou went to the Jiangnan Beggars' Sect first, but failed to find A Zi. It was because Zhuang Juxian, the leader of the Jiangnan Beggars' Sect, took the masters of the gang to Shaolin Temple to provoke trouble and compete for the title of the largest martial arts sect. A Zi followed Zhuang Juxian together.
So the three of them took the Khitan masters to the Shaolin Sect. After arriving, they happened to meet the Shaolin Sect, the Xingsu Sect and the Beggars' Sect fought. Xiao Feng and the other two took decisive action and defeated Zhuang Juxian and Ding Chunqiu. Xiao Feng knew that Ding Chunqiu was a traitor of the Xiaoyao Sect, so he deposed his martial arts and handed it over to Ximen Rou for guarding him, so he sent it back to Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng was moved when he heard this.
Eliminating Ding Chunqiu was Wuyazi's last wish before his death, so Chu Zheng naturally had to do it for Wuyazi. Unfortunately, although he went to Xingsuhai to destroy the Xingsu Sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect, Ding Chunqiu had already brought two thousand disciples to the Central Plains to find trouble for the Shaolin Sect.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng kept this in mind. At such a critical moment as the Shaolin Sect's melee, he did not hesitate to offend the Xingsu Sect and captured Ding Chunqiu alive. This friendship alone was enough to make Chu Zheng remember it in his heart.
"Miss A Zi has found it?"
