Chapter 1 Enemy Invasion

The capital, the capital of the Central Plains, is now covered with dark clouds and thunder. Look at the weather, there will be a heavy rain coming. There was a hurried scene on the street, and most people rushed to the place where they could shelter from the rain.

hong! A thunder broke through the sky, and bean-sized raindrops fell with it. Before long, a layer of water appeared on the ground. At this time, there was a messy sound of horseshoes in the distance, and the sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer. Two tall horses ran quickly with two young men in red, splashing countless splashes along the way.

At a fork in a fork, a horse suddenly hissed and fell heavily to the ground, with white foam overflowing in his mouth. Obviously, the man in red riding on the horse lay weakly in the rain with a haggard look on his face.

Another man quickly turned his horse, turned around and said, "Your horse is exhausted. Ride mine!" After saying that, he reached out and invited the man on the ground to get on the horse.

The man shook his head and said, "Go first. The general sent it to the emperor. Hurry up!" The Qing Palace is the closest to here, and I can send the information there!"

The man immediately couldn't bear it and frowned and said, "But..."

"Quickly!" The man who fell to the ground urged loudly, and the man immediately gritted his teeth, turned his horse's head and rushed in the direction of the palace.

His companion, who fell in the rain, looked at the dying horse lying on the ground, dragged himself and climbed in the direction of the Qing Palace.

In the Qing Palace, a slender man stood in a pavilion with his hands behind his hands and was enjoying the beautiful scenery in the courtyard. This person was Han Zilin, the third son of the emperor of the dynasty, the king of Qing Dynasty. At present, the whole palace is shrouded in a layer of water mist, and the crisp sound of the rain beating bananas is endless. By his body, there is the sound of a melodious piano, and a woman in green is playing with the strings and playing a song of heavenly music.

Han Zilin was intoxicated with it, opened a folding fan, gently stirred, and praised: "Beautiful scenery, beauty, fairy song!" Wonderful! Wonderful!"

The woman in green is his wife Meng Yao. She slowly raised her head and reflected Han Zilin's intoxicated look in her beautiful eyes. Her face flashed red and said coquettishly, "Ha ha, look at you, I really enjoy it!"

At this time, a bodyguard came from the rain, holding a golden book in his hands. Han Zilin saw the coming bodyguard and looked unhappy and asked from afar, "What's the matter!"

When the bodyguard heard Han Zilin's voice, he immediately knelt down and said, "The southeast coastal defense has expedited documents. Dongying has attacked and captured ten cities, and countless people and soldiers have been killed and injured!"

Han Zilin's face changed, and Meng Yao also stopped playing the piano. The former said loudly, "Come up!"

The bodyguard came forward and presented the document to Han Zilin, and then bowed and retreated. Han Zilin opened the document and his face changed greatly!

Meng Yao frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong!"

Han Zilin slowly raised his head, looked angry, and said, "10,000 scholars from Fujiwara, the king of Edo, invaded the southeast coast, and 100,000 soldiers along the coast were all killed!"

"10,000 practitioners!" Mengyao's face turned pale and said angrily. The strings in her hand broke several times with a bang.

"Dongying's court can actually organize 10,000 practitioners!" Han Zilin frowned and said, "The practitioners like to live in the mountains and forests without restraint, and the road to cultivation is difficult and dangerous. It is not what those ordinary palace nobles can stand. With so many practitioners at once, how magical power is the emperor of Dongying Kingdom?"

Meng Yao looked sad and said, "Dongying is separated by a sea from the Central Plains mainland, and our understanding of it is still limited. I heard that Fujiwara Zhi of Dongying has been working hard and coveted the land of the Central Plains for a long time. I'm afraid I've been prepared for this time!"

At this time, another bodyguard came, knelt on one knee, presented a document exactly the same as before, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Dongying's army has captured three cities again and forced them inland!"

"Report..." Without waiting for Han Zilin to react, a hurried voice came. A bodyguard knelt on the ground in the rain and said hoarsely, "Your Highness, the Dongying army has occupied five inland cities in a row!"

Han Zilin looked furious and carefully compared the dates of the three documents. He saw that from Dongying's invasion to today, in just seven days, in just seven days, Dongying had captured 18 cities, most of which were big cities. At such a speed, even if he captured the capital city, it would not take much time.

Meng Yao's face was solemn and said, "The practitioners deal with ordinary soldiers like pinching an ant. No matter how many ants there are, it will be useless. Now they transport troops to the front line, just increase casualties."

Han Zilin looked at the scenery in the rain for a long time and said, "You are waiting here. If you have any military situation, you can deal with it for me. I'm going to Kunlun Mountain now to ask for help from the practitioners of the Central Plains!"

Meng Yao nodded and said, "Now, there is only this method. You and Ouyang Hong clarify the stakes. His kind of righteous people will not sit idly by. As long as he climbs high, those righteous sects will correspond. However, our practitioners in the Central Plains are used to being lazy. If they are used, they may not It's easy, especially to ask them to obey the court of mortals!"

Han Zilin shook his head and said, "You don't have to follow the orders of the court. Let them elect leaders by themselves. It's not too late. I'll go!"

After saying that, he waved his hand to Mengyao and disappeared into the raindrops all over the sky. Mengyao stood still and silently looking at the direction he left.

Kunlun Mountain, Ziying School

The disciples who came to test the sword have packed up and are ready to return to their respective sects, but there are a few more urns in the luggage of some disciples. Obviously, this is to bring back the disciples who died in the battle with the Demon Realm to be buried.

Lu Shaoyang sat in the council chamber, in the seat of the head of the gate, and was accepting the resignation of several elders.

Gentlemen, please stay for a few more days. You haven't had time to enjoy the many scenery of my Ziying faction! Lu Shaoyang said sincerely with a smile.

The Ziying elders sitting aside also issued a hold, but everyone knows that this is just a polite word. If they want to leave, they will not stay after all.

He sent the elder who was about to leave and planned to take his disciples to leave after lunch!

At this time, a Ziying disciple ran in and said, "There is a man who calls himself Han Zilin to see him!"

"Han Zilin?" Lu Shaoyang frowned and said to himself, "What is he doing?"

At this time, the elder Xu of Shushan Dao in the hall came forward and said interestingly, "Ziying sent guests to come. We will leave first and leave after lunch!"

Lu Shaoyang nodded and smiled kindly, "Please!"

Several elders bowed and left. Lu Shaoyang said to the disciples served in the hall, "Go, call Han Zilin!"
