"Although the seventeen counties have been fully reclaimed, the population has already fled. The most urgent matter is to quickly spread the news and guide the propaganda to bring the refugees back to their homes in order to resume production. At the same time, we also need to chase after the remnants of the non-humankind who escaped into the mountains. Among those non-humankind monkeys, there is no lack of other non-humankind beings, there are also armed with terrifying firearms, and the ability to fight in the forest does not require my words. You all know that none of them can be let off.
At this time, Li Muyue slowly spoke, her tone extremely firm: "Of course, to pacify the people, I will leave the matter of returning home to you, second brother. I think if you have time, you can take care of it. At the same time, we have to mobilize our troops and horses, and escort the food and supplies in advance. We only need to wait for an order from the Emperor, and then we will ride our horses out of the mountain into the wilderness and annihilate the ape and the barbarian races. "
Instead of letting Hong Futian handle the matter of the refugees returning to their hometowns and reviving their production, Li Muyue had let the two military elders, the Duke of Dragon Crane and the Duke of Iron Blood, participate in the process. With everyone supervising and urging each other, the efficiency of their actions would be greatly increased, and it would also cause Hong Futian to not dare to act against the refugees anymore.
Hong Yu was very clear about this matter. Hong Futian pretended to use the title of gathering refugees to send all of them back to their hometowns, allowing the foreign Grand Marshal Mo Ka to abduct a large number of citizens with the Barbarian Immortal Pouch for the pleasure of the alien soldiers killing them. This was simply an inhumane and bloody case.
He had already mentioned this to Li Muyue in his report, but he never expected that Li Muyue would come up with this plan. It was to suppress Hong Futian, to prevent him from stirring up any more trouble.
The duke of Long Crane was the Twelve Generals of the imperial court. He was specialized in overseeing the conquest of the army, exterminating bandits, and evil warriors who disrespected the authority of the royal family. At the same time, he also had the authority to supervise officials.
"This …" When Hong Futian heard this, he also understood what Li Muyue meant. His expression darkened and became ugly. For a moment, his anger actually died down.
He was very happy to let the Dragon Crane Marquis enter the mountain and exterminate the remnants of the foreign races, but there was probably a deeper purpose contained within that. It was to let the forces of the Dragon Crane Marquis take the opportunity to enter the Liangzhou.
How could a bed allow others to sleep soundly?
With a few simple and casual words, Li Muyue had smashed a nail into the cold prefecture that he had long operated like an iron board. This was something he could not tolerate.
The key point was that he couldn't make such a suggestion, or even show the slightest dissatisfaction. Otherwise, it would become the truth for Li Muyue to criticize him.
He could only break his front teeth and swallow it!
"Mu Yue, I will naturally listen to your orders regarding the matters of the Liangzhou region. I will have my subordinates arrange everything so that the citizens can be pacified, production resumed, money is given, and people are given." Your subordinates are all wearing the Great Python Armor, and even the subordinates of the Old Thirty-sixth are all wearing the same Great Python Armor. I am definitely going to enter the Wilderness to fight as well, but the soldiers under my command are all ordinary types of armor, and only a few people have the Great Python Armor. How to deal with the complicated terrain of the Endless Wilderness outside the Two Realms Mountain? "In the wilderness, there are dense forests and poisonous bog fog. There are poisonous snakes and insects everywhere. Ordinary armors are simply unable to defend at all, causing countless deaths and injuries."
Hong Lingtian was still unwilling to give up. He could only tolerate the interference of the Duke of Long Crane in the political situation of the Liangzhou. However, the battle for the barbarians was of great importance and was even related to his future feudal fiefdom.
He also hoped that the concessions he made towards the Duke of Long He could be exchanged for some material items from Li Muyue. Since he couldn't stop it from happening, he might as well get some benefits.
The 35th Brother had the support of a sword family during his trip to the capital, and all of his subordinates were all in sword family's treasured armor, sword ray armor, and Li Muyue's subordinates were all equipped with great python armor, so much so that high ranking generals and even great python armor could be worn. It was one thing for the two of them to be together. One was the Sword clan's support, while the other was the princess favored by the Great Celestial Emperor. Their statuses were also very different, and many princes could not even compare to her.
However, the Great Python Armor under Hong Yu's command was simply unbearable for him.
From the looks of it, he seemed to be the one with the most distinguished status, the King of Liangzhou, the one with the most noble title.
If this was just a matter of face, he might have been able to suppress his anger, but this battle in the wilderness was extremely dangerous. Without the protection of the treasured armor, the death rate would have been unbearably fast.
In history, in any dynasty, only the barbarians could invade the Central Plains Empire and even take over the dynasty. There was no precedent for the ordinary slaves to invade the Central Plains.
The environment of the wilderness was extremely dangerous, and the human army couldn't penetrate any further. However, once they entered the desert, they would find it dry and hot. Moreover, there were endless poisonous miasma, fierce beasts, and poisonous insects within the desert, which would cause massive damage even before they could approach the barbarian's territory.
He had originally thought that by secretly establishing a cult and cooperating with the non-humankind, he would be able to receive a wide range of worshippers' faith and condense his divine power. When that time came, he would be able to turn hostile, eliminate the evil sect and win the hearts of others.
However, he never would have thought that Hong Yu would suddenly appear and uproot the evil cult. The foreign forces were repelled, and not only was he in the limelight, he even almost exposed his secret.
Raising a rogue cultivator was not enough. Instead, it gave Hong Yu an advantage and he lost both his strength and strength. Now, he could already guess that Hong Yu had definitely earned a lot of prestige in the imperial court. But compared to him, he had suffered a serious blow and wasn't even considered dregs.
Not only that, Celestial Emperor Hongwu was the only one who respected martial arts. He rewarded and punished people with great rewards. Hongyu had done great things over and over again, and had done countless meritorious deeds. It was unknown just what good treasures would be rewarded.
"Number two, the Great Python Armor is a technology not passed down in the Divine Arts Academy, and it has not reached the level of mass production yet. If you want to transfer it to the imperial government, I have no other choice." Li Muyue's expression was calm: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I do have a way to get some of these armor from the Divine Arts Academy, but it's not much, so I have to pay an expensive price. As for Old Thirty-sixth's pills, they were all obtained by him in exchange for the ancient Loyal Liver Pill with me. If you can obtain such pills, I can also ask the Divine Arts Academy to provide them to you. "
"Damn it!" How could the thirty-sixth brother possess a strange item like the Loyal Liver Pill that had already been lost since the ancient times? "Mu Yue, even if you wanted to lie to me, there's no need to use such a crappy excuse." Hong Futian's face darkened. He was on the verge of losing control.
"Second Brother, don't even mention it. Mu Yue really didn't have any intentions of lying to you. I really have a lot of Loyal Liver Pills in my hands. If you're willing, I'm willing to give you some more to help you exchange for the Great Python Armor, and even some Great Boa Armor." But you have to offer something else in exchange. An equal exchange can't be any fairer. " As Hong Yu spoke, he deliberately took out a delicate pill bottle from his spatial ring. From this bottle, he took out a pill; this pill was the Loyal Liver Pill.
"You!" Hong Futian wanted to refute, but upon closer inspection, he found that Hong Yu was right. The pill in his hand was the Loyal Pill. He was suddenly at a loss for words. He felt a numbing sensation on his face, as if he wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Had he been slapped in the face by Hong Yu?
"Old Thirty-Six, aren't you being too unscrupulous? You dare to provoke me again and again?" However, he still burned with anger, unable to control his own actions. Layers upon layers of seven-colored buddhist light suddenly gushed out from behind him, forming into a Dharma Idol, like a buddha in a temple, sitting cross-legged in the air, with his left hand placed horizontally above his left foot, as if he was calming the heavens and the earth, and his hands reaching straight down to the ground!
The moment the Dharma Idol appeared, the moment its hand touched the ground, it immediately felt the ground sink and spin in all four directions. It was enough to subdue all demons and monsters.
"Vacuum Hand Seal? Touch Seal? " As his eyelids twitched, he leapt in front of Hong Yu. The astral energy around his body changed, and the airflow rotated; it was also the astral energy shadow of a human elephant head that suddenly appeared and soared, tightly protecting the two of them behind it, confronting the Buddha's Dharma Idol.
"Roar!"
The divine elephant screeched and its nose turned upside down. It immediately gave off a feeling of supreme power, as if it was sucking in all the stars in the sky and suppressing hell.
"The ultimate move of the Vacuum Hand Seal, Earth Touch Seal? Legends said that it was a killing move created during the time of the Void Buddha? To use your hands to touch the ground, to prove the truth of the earth, and then sit cross-legged in the middle of the vacuum without moving, to eliminate all demons and ghosts? " Hong Yu was also greatly shocked and terrified. He thought of many myths and legends, and knew that this technique was no trivial matter.
Hong Lingtian actually used such a move. He was probably truly infuriated!
The scene was narrow and tense. There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air. It seemed as if any movement of both sides could lead to a war.
The Thirty-Fifth Prince, Hong YuanTu, sat to the side and watched coldly without saying a word.
He had just arrived, so he didn't understand the situation in detail. Watching from the sidelines was like watching a tiger fighting a tiger. Even if Hong Yu and Hong Fushen were to fight, it had nothing to do with him.
"Enough, are you really prepared to fight a great battle in front of me?" Just then, Li Muyue stood up and waved her hand, "All of you can stop. Everyone, rest here for a few days, and then head to the Twin Realm Mountain Pass. I have already sent people to the capital. During this time, none of you are allowed to clash with each other, and those who break the law will be punished. "
"Alright, Servant Ji, let's go." Hong Yu ordered the Wash Elephant Slave to stop. He did not care about the thoughts of Hong Futian and the thirty-fifth prince, Hong YuanTu. He then turned around and left, one at the front and one at the back.
Not long after Hong Yu left, the second prince, Hong Futian, also had a face full of indignation. He unwillingly retracted his body and a buddhist light filled the sky. He flicked his sleeves and left without mentioning anything.
The 35th Prince, Hong YuanTu, waved his hand and had Mister Jian lead his men to set up camp outside of the city while he stayed in the main hall. He had something to ask, "Mu Yue, are you telling the truth? Did he exchange Old Thirty-Six's Great Python Armor for the Loyalty Pill?"
"Of course. You have just arrived in Liangzhou, so you don't know anything about it. Let me tell you, the thirty-sixth brother is no longer like the former Amon. You absolutely cannot use your old eyes to look at him, or else you will definitely suffer a great loss. Since he was able to reach his current state, he naturally has quite a few hidden cards. Even now, it is difficult for me to see through them. Li Mu Yue pondered for a while before recovering her senses. She then looked at Hong Yuan Tu with a puzzled gaze: "Why are you asking this? Could it be that you are also interested in the Loyal Liver Pill? "
"Oh, I see. You don't want to accept this, do you? Right now, you have adopted the Sword Imperial Consort as your mother and used her power to leave the palace. In reality, you are still just a pawn puppet of the sword family, so you are unwilling to give up so you can cultivate your own power and break away from the control of the sword family. Li Muyue thought for a moment and came to a realization, "In this way, it makes sense. The Loyalty Liver Pill in Hong Yu's hands can turn a person into a tiger wolf, fearless and loyal. Nothing is more suitable for your current situation than this pill."
"The Loyal Liver Pill has already been lost since the ancient times. I'm afraid that it's not just me who is interested. Second Brother has also thought about it in such detail. He must be extremely envious." Hong YuanTu could not deny it. He coldly laughed, "The Loyal Liver Pill is a truly good item. If you can get some from the thirty-sixth brother, I naturally will not reject it. You can give out any conditions you want."
"Heh heh, do whatever you want? I know that the sword family and second brother have reached an agreement and the second brother wants to hand over the Tai Ah Sword to the sword family. If I want this sword, can you really give it to me? I know that 'YuanTu' and 'Taia' are two complete sets of ferocious swords from the ancient era. Your name is YuanTu, it is not by chance, but rather because you are the reincarnation of the Primordial Slaughterer Sword's soul into the bloodline of the Empress and the Emperor. That's why the Queen hates you, because this sword is accompanied with a great calamity. However, you have yet to awaken the Yuan Slaughterer Spirit Concealment, so you cannot draw out the Yuan Slaughterer Sword from the void for you to use.
Now that you have broken through eight shackles, you can only use the water to slowly cultivate and condense the spiritual energy in the seventy-two Earth Fiend acupoints. In the end, the water would leak out and blow apart the shackles before you could reach the Divine Repository level.
If he wanted to awaken the essence of the Origin Slaughter Sword, then he would probably need to open the seven divine treasure troves, the spirit astral treasure trove, and the combination of the spirit soul and the astral energy to give birth to a mysterious ability. Only then would he be able to break the mystery of the birth, awaken the evil sword's essence, and draw out the true body of the Origin Slaughter Sword from the endless void, becoming one with the sword.
Of course, you practice the ancient absolute arts, the Sword Scripture of the Blood River, which is extremely profound in nature and powerful in might. It is also very difficult to cultivate as well, and is thousands of times stronger than normal cultivation techniques. However, if you can obtain the Tai Ah Sword that shares the same origin as the Yuan Slaughterer, then your cultivation speed will greatly increase and your time will be shortened. Within a few short months, you can reach the level of a great god hidden away, releasing the astral energy, and if you can find the reincarnation of the Tai Ah Sword Spirit, then it will be even more incredible. You will be able to instantly draw out the Yuan Slaughterer Sword's original form with the help of the Tai Ah Sword.
Li Muyue spoke slowly. She was very familiar with many of Hong Yuan Tu's secrets, so it was obvious that she knew all the information about him.
"Hmm? It looks like you have a lot of manpower planted in the sword clan? That's not right, if you can't figure out my core secret just by looking at this place, you think there's someone you can place next to me? " Hong YuanTu's expression turned cold as two rays of sword light shot out from his eyes. He said coldly, "You even know the secret behind me practicing the Blood River Sword Scripture and the Yuan Tu Tai A. This shows that you know too much. It makes me very uncomfortable."
