Chapter 113: Get an elite army with the power of Liang State!Yuan Tiangang said calmly, "Thirty years ago, when I ordered the disbanding of the Bad People, I asked Chi Li and Chi Li to plan the Twelve Caves' Bingshen Monster Altar. After that, I did not take the initiative to contact the two. As I expected, Chi Li obtained the Bingshen Monster Altar method from the Saint of the Twelve Caves in Raojiang. One of these brothers is proficient in the art of refining insects, and the other is proficient in the art of witchcraft, which is just right for them to cooperate in controlling the Bingshen Monster Altar." Shangguan Yunque continued, "The Marshal is saying that these two people betrayed the Bad People?" Yuan Tiangang snorted and said, "Betray me? Does Chi Li have the guts and courage to do that? At my command, he will still kneel before me and pledge his loyalty." "Yes, yes, yes, everyone knows the Marshal's methods!" Shangguan Yunque rushed to flatter him, but Yuan Tiangang ignored him and continued to speak in a hoarse and low voice, "It's nothing more than that I haven't appeared in the world for decades, and Chi Li, who holds the God of War, can't hold back his ambitions." Shangguan Yunque thought for a moment and said puzzledly: "Logically speaking, you, Marshal, have already taken action once when you killed the Dark Emperor Zhu Yougui in Luoyang. As long as you spread the word, how can Chi Li dare to act rashly?" Yuan Tiangang immediately turned to look at Shangguan Yunque. Shangguan Yunque was frightened by the look behind the mask and immediately shrank his neck and said, "General, did I say something wrong?" "Shangguan Yunque, are you loyal to me?" Yuan Tiangang's sudden words made Shangguan Yunque stunned for a moment, and then Shangguan Yunque patted his chest and said: "I am loyal to you, Marshal, and I will go through fire and water for you!" "Really? Haha!" Yuan Tiangang's tone was a little strange, and then he asked: "Then are you loyal to His Highness?" "Of course!" Shangguan Yunque answered quickly, and nodded: "Your Highness is definitely capable of unifying the world!" Yuan Tiangang leaned forward slightly and looked at Shangguan Yunque oppressively, saying, "What if one day, His Highness asked you to kill me? Would you do it?"
Shangguan Yunque was stunned for a moment. He replied tremblingly, "General, what do you mean by that? How could His Highness allow a subordinate to kill you?" "Hehe, I just said if, and you were so scared. It seems that your fear of me is far greater than your loyalty to His Highness." Yuan Tiangang sighed and said, "Rao Jiang, it's the same." Yuan Tiangang put his hands on the armrests. He looked at the mountains and rivers and said in a deep voice: "What I want to restore is the Tang Dynasty, a vibrant and prosperous Tang Dynasty, not a puppet empire controlled by me. You, them, and the people of the world should not submit to me, but to His Highness, Li Xingyun! The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xingyun!" "You don't understand... hehe, hahaha..." Yuan Tiangang suddenly laughed. Even though he had said similar words to Shangguan Yunque and others before, they would never understand his feelings. The Tang Dynasty had been destroyed once, completely destroyed once. The Tang Dynasty, whose luck had been cut off, was like a mirage even if there was a glimmer of hope. Even if Yuan Tiangang forcibly wiped out many vassal kings and supported a descendant of Li Tang, yes, the Tang Dynasty was restored in name, but in reality, the internal strife continued and the world was in chaos. At that time, what the world was afraid of was not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but him, the Tang Dynasty's national teacher who had lived for three hundred years, a monster. This is not what Yuan Tiangang wants! "Everyone, go down. I'll be alone." Yuan Tiangang waved his hands and suddenly missed his old friend Li Chunfeng. If he had been willing to take the elixir of immortality, he would not be so lonely today. "Haha, but how can an old man like you take the elixir of immortality?" Yuan Tiangang smiled at the person beside him. In his eyes, a figure seemed to appear there, a handsome young man. "Brother Yuan, the situation has been broken. You must seize this one-in-a-million chance to turn the tables!" "I will!" Yuan Tiangang's eyes were always firm... …… Luoyang, Imperial Palace. boom! With a crisp sound, Zhu Youzhen threw the jade cup in his hand hard on the hall, "What? The Ghost King is unconscious? What are you doing? Huh? So many people? And with my second brother's strength, how could he be injured? Oh, where is the immortality elixir? Have you found it?" Shi Yao standing by calmly replaced Zhu Youzhen's wine glass. Zhong Xiaokui, standing in the middle of the hall, said nothing, without even looking at Zhu Youzhen. Her eyes were even a little vague, as if she was still savoring the wonderful feeling that the prince had brought her last night. Zhong Xiaokui didn't say anything and no one dared to urge her, so the remaining Liang army generals could only speak. "Your Majesty, we don't know what happened in Qianling Mausoleum. We just took countless gold and silver treasures out of Qianling Mausoleum with Master Zhong Kui. When we caught the bad guys outside and planned to transport the gold and silver, Li Xingyun and his men came out of Qianling Mausoleum with the unconscious Ghost King. For the safety of the Ghost King, we had no choice but to let the bad guys leave. However, Master Zhong Kui still forcibly captured Li Xingyun. Your Majesty, we have gained a lot from this trip." "A great harvest? Damn it! Do you know how powerful my second brother is? If he can't wake up, Daliang will suffer a great loss!" Zhu Youzhen immediately threw away the cup of wine in his hand that he had just drunk. At this time, Zhong Xiaokui finally finished recalling the past, and stepped out leisurely, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, I have brought back the Ghost King, but according to my investigation, the Ghost King must have fallen into an illusion. He must not be awakened for the time being, otherwise the day the Ghost King wakes up will be the day he dies."
"As for the elixir of life, we did not find any elixir of life when we entered the underground palace of Qianling Mausoleum, nor did we find the legendary Longquan treasure." After Zhong Xiaokui finished speaking, Zhu Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief and clapped his hands, saying, "That's good, that's good. As long as the Longquan treasure has not been found, there is still hope. The elixir of immortality may be in the real Longquan treasure!" At this moment, Zhu Youzhen's eyes lit up and he said, "By the way, didn't you capture Li Xingyun? Torture him severely and force him to tell me the whereabouts of the Longquan treasure!" Zhong Xiaokui raised his head and looked at Zhu Youzhen coldly, then lowered his head and said, "Li Xingyun does not know the exact location of the Longquan treasure, but according to my subordinates' forced' questioning, he also revealed some valuable information. The Longquan treasure should be in the place where the Li family made its fortune, in the current Jin State!" Zhong Xiaokui raised his head slightly and said with a cupped hand: "If Your Majesty can conquer Jin State, the Longquan treasure will surely be in Your Majesty's pocket!" Zhu Youzhen frowned upon hearing this and said, "Jin State, our Daliang is now surrounded by enemies, how can we spare the energy to attack Jin State?" Zhong Xiaokui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what we brought out from Qianling this time? Countless gold and silver. Your Majesty can use this gold and silver to recruit soldiers and horses, greatly expanding the strength of Daliang. With Wang Yanzhang and other brave generals training an elite force, Your Majesty has nothing to worry about. Great things will not be accomplished." (End of this chapter)
