Chapter 223: Charming drama
Zuo Hufa said: "What kind of character do you have? The Southern Dynasty is not the right way, and you are actually allowed to enter the court with a demon and a majesty. I don't think you are human."
The Guardian Zuo looked domineeringly towards Xuelu, who had been his mount for many years and couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Zhang Su smiled and said, "What demon?"
Zuo Hufa said: "Nan Dynasty demon girl, why are you pretending to be stupid? This person looks like a dog, and he is clearly the deer demon you snatched from me!"
Li Shilang was taken aback and looked at Zhongyi Hou Xuelu, who was also pale.
Zhang Su said, "Is he the deer of your Bei Di?"
Zuo Hufa said: "Not bad."
Zhang Su laughed and said: "If that's the case, that would be great. For me, it is a sign of auspiciousness! Qin loses his deer, and the world chases it away. Beidi's deer has already entered my hands. It is a harbinger of the destruction of Beidi Sheji. Isn't it the auspiciousness of my dynasty? If I thought I was inadvertently adding willows and creating this auspiciousness, the emperor will definitely reward me."
Zuo Hufa said: "You are outside the Southern Dynasty, why do you interfere in the human world?"
Zhang Sudao: "You are also a member of the Moon Worship Cult, why are you sitting here? Don't talk about these useless moral articles, now you are refunding or not?"
Shema also listened to the interpreter and urged Zuo Hufa: "Show him a little more powerful."
Zhang Su covered his mouth and smiled, and blinked at the left guardian.
The Guardian Zuo said: "Last time, you just took advantage of the mount and the treasure in your hand."
Zhang Sudao: "It's like you don't have a treasure in your hands, but you used magic first."
Zuo Hufa said: "Do you dare to fight with me without using spells?"
Zhang Sudao: "Yes, yes, but, no matter whether you win or lose, we will not make concessions in the peace talks. So, is it necessary to not distinguish between primary and secondary?"
Shema also said: "Your Southern Dynasty may not be too arrogant."
Zhang Su said, "Learn from you. If you win battles and kill people, you can ask for things. Everything else is bullshit."
The middle-aged scribe said: "We can return the capital, but we have to retreat safely. Please return the Prince of Orlubu to the Southern Dynasty."
Zhang Sudao: "Thousands of emperors, clans, and noble relatives died in the Southern Dynasty. One ordeal is nothing? Come and go without indecent, you still make money, you can't be so greedy."
After Protector Zuo translated, Shema also slapped the table and scolded: "Damn! Then let's go to war!"
Zhang Su said, "Just fight! We'll wait! Go back!"
Li Shilang looked at Zhang Su in astonishment. The envoys from the DPRK and the Central Committee have never been so straightforward. He has not preached his long essay on propriety, righteousness, and righteousness.
...
After sending the other party away, Li Shilang worried: "County Lord, we haven't completed the task of peace talks, what should we do? How can we maintain the peace talks."
Zhang Su smiled slightly and did not answer.
Yue Langjun said: "County Lord, I will send a few people to follow them secretly and see what they are doing."
Zhang Su shook his head and said, "No need."
Yue Langjun asked curiously, "Why?"
Zhang Sudao: "There are masters of the Moon Worship Cult in their team. If you send ordinary scouts, they will definitely be discovered. If they are caught, they will have a few more hostages in their hands."
Li Shilang said: "The county master, please forgive the rudeness of the officials. The emperor has handed over such a big matter to us. This matter is related to whether the emperor can return to the capital, and he can't be so rude."
Although Li Shilang was not a capitulation faction, he had never seen such a "big boss" way of doing things.
Zhang Sudao: "Li Shilang, I know that you are worried about the king, but your civil servants are too gentle, courteous, courteous, and courteous. They are from Di people, and to be courteous, courteous, and courteous is to pretend to be pretty for the blind. Don't underestimate my 'big old' style. His acting style will ruin the emperor's affairs. It would be a good thing for the emperor to learn a little bit of rudeness. Which of the most effective emperors in history is not rude? Qin Shihuang, Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Wu and Emperor Guangwu are often pioneers The hero. The emperors who are biased towards literature and art, such as Empress Chen, Empress Li, and Emperor Shang, don't end well."
Li Shilang thought for a while, and then said, "But if they don't withdraw from the country, the emperor cannot return to the capital, and the people will suffer."
Zhang Su said: "Calm down! Take your time, if they see us hard, we can ask for a higher price. The royal family has died so much, and the emperor is in the back. The barefooted are not afraid of those who wear shoes. You don't even think about it. They planned to retreat before. What's the reason? Now that half of the elites have died, can they still be more confident than before? He scare us, and those who surrendered in the past were used to kneeling when they were scared. of."
Xuelu said: "Master Li, the county master is right. I have stayed in Beidi before, and I know it. Moreover, the 70,000 elite soldiers in this pass are really the foundation of Beidi's country, and they can't afford to lose them. If there is something wrong with the elite soldiers, my Celestial Dynasty can go north to expand the territory."
Shema also waited for the people to go back to discuss for a few days, but they came to talk again, and they broke up several times, and then the other party lowered the price to negotiate.
Li Shilang heard that they all agreed to leave a half of the supplies and withdraw, but Zhang Su still refused.
Li Shilang's memorial to the emperor never stopped, reporting the process of peace talks.
In the end, Zhang Su saw that they often came back and quarreled, but the price was too slow, so he made a condition: they would send back 5 million taels of gold, and then they could only transport 2,000 carts of supplies, no matter if they chose to transport food Or transport jewelry, they can gift them out of the country.
In this way, although they robbed a lot of things, they sent half of the elite heads and more than 20,000 excellent war horses down, and the deal was not too bad. As for the number of sacrifices in the clan, Zhang Su did not count at all.
So they quarreled for three more days. On the fifth day, when they came again, Zhang Su had already collected the tent and was about to return.
- The old lady stopped talking.
I heard that she stopped talking, and finally Zuo Hufa caught up and agreed to sign the peace talks. Agreed to send five million taels of gold to Yingtianfu within ten days. Within a month, several southern generals of the Western Army who were captured or forced to surrender were exchanged for more than 1,000 elite prisoners, including Prince Ulubu and generals. They must also ensure that the army cannot leave the territory of Daming House and attack the army to withdraw from the north.
The Di people withdrew their army to the north and no longer followed the route of the East Route Army, but they were still afraid that the Southern Dynasty would have a plot. While staying in Kyoto, the situation became more and more unfavorable, so I was eager to retreat.
It took three months for the Di army to retreat this time, and the army did not withdraw from the Southern Dynasty. Zhang Su personally "gifted" them to prevent them from transporting more supplies. In the south of Daxing Mansion, Zhang Su was full of emotions. , you will get it back one day.
It is a pity that now they are staying in the territory, and all the people in the world will suffer too much, otherwise they will design an "imperial cemetery" for them for a long time.
After they left the country, Yue Langjun was recommended by Zhang Su, Jiuwang, and Zongda to be responsible for the construction and defense of towns in the northern Xinjiang.
At this time, the emperor did not have more people available, such as Zhang Qing and Cui Liang's newly built "Holding the Japanese Army" and the "Dragon Guard Army" which were not full. . And some of the King of Qin's army branch is in Hebei, otherwise the capital will lose its barrier.
Yue Langjun paid farewell to the emperor, and took several generals in the army, 10,000 cavalry and several thousand civilians to the north with supplies to guard the country.
The emperor led a general of 10,000 troops to return to the capital first, and the puppet regime collapsed almost immediately. Many surrendered, and the puppet emperor was killed by his own chaotic people.
On the fifteenth day of October that year, the emperor led officials to return to the capital under the **** of the "Holding Japanese Army" and "Dragon Guard Army", and the common people burst into tears.
...
Because so many high-ranking officials of the close clan have died, such as Zhang Su, Zhang Qing, Chong Han, Master Zong, Cui Liang, Xue Lu, Xue Ji, Cen Biqing, including Yue Langjun, who went north, was given a mansion. Of course, Zhang Su was the best mansion among them. She had given her a prince's mansion to be the county master's mansion, but facing the empty house, she couldn't fix it by herself, and it was inconvenient to use spells.
It was Xue Ji who managed the house in her early years. When she bought people for her own family, she also bought some people for her.
Then, Cen Biqing brought Du Yin, Mo Yun, a disciple, and a buddy to the capital to do business with a large amount of medicinal materials and cotton cloth, and they all rested in the county master's mansion.
Zhang Su's female disciple Cuiping temporarily gave her a housekeeper, and she finally didn't have to live in a "haunted house".
Before she knew it, another month passed. On this day, Li Shilang, who had been promoted to the Minister of Personnel, came to visit her, and she entertained her in the garden.
Li Shangshu talked about the fact that the emperor was still in the court, but the first empress had passed away, and the latter position was empty.
Zhang Su deliberately said with a straight face: "Master Li is the emperor's close minister, why don't you give advice? Now that there is a national disaster, and the northern border is still unstable, how can the emperor think about the draft? Isn't this chilling the soldiers' hearts? The world is in chaos, so this time is not suitable for drafting."
Li Shangshu looked embarrassed and said, "The county master has misunderstood. The emperor did not want to recruit teachers, but he just wanted the lower officials to protect a matchmaker, marry a queen, lead the harem, and honor the world. This is also a major event for the society."
Zhang Su nodded and said, "Then Li Shangshu will protect this big media... Do you want me to accompany you to protect the media?"
Li Shangshu said: "The county master. The lower official also met the county master's nephew, Miss Hu. She has made great contributions to the court. She is both civil and military, and has an extraordinary appearance. The emperor admires her very much."
"Xue Ji can't do it!" Zhang Su hurriedly shook his head.
"why not?"
Zhang Sudao: "Xue Ji was born in the countryside, her family background is low, and her parents are gone, how can she be the mother of the country?"
Li Shangshu actually thought so too.
"The county lord's words are wrong. The county lord is Miss Hu's uncle, Duke Jing (Zhang Qing) is Miss Hu's senior brother, Ning Hou (Cui Liang) is Miss Hu's junior brother, and Marquis Zhongyi (Xuelu) is also her brother. Junior brother, the county lord Cen is her junior. Now you are both the pillars of the country, and you are outstanding, why can't Miss Hu be the queen?"
Li Shangshu also saw the rise of the upstarts. At this time, a woman among them entered the palace, which was the best choice.
Zhang Sudao: "But Xue Ji is a cultivator, and now marriage is ruining her future, so I can't agree. I'm also a cultivator, and it's been a long time to stay in the world for ten years. Master Xue Ji gave her to me, I took her to walk around the world to cultivate her heart, but she was greedy for the world, how should I explain to her master? , why don't you give advice?"
There were many courtiers who persuaded the emperor, and the civil officials were basically convicted without words, and officials like Li Shangshu who persuaded the emperor would not be convicted.
Li Shangshu said: "Has the county master asked Miss Hu? What if she and the emperor are in love with each other?"
Zhang Su smiled and said, "How is that possible? If Xue Ji married without authorization, her cultivation would be ruined, who would be so stupid? I am also the princess, she wants to taste the taste of wealth, and I have a way to give it to her. No You must destroy your future for the sake of the queen's reputation."
Li Shangshu returned without success, and went back to report to the emperor. The emperor actually burst into tears, so he wanted not to do it even for the emperor.
...
The emperor went out of the palace in micro-clothing and arrived at Xue Ji's mansion, asking people not to inform them of entering.
Xue Ji was alone in the garden appreciating chrysanthemums. The beauty was so beautiful that the emperor was crazy when he saw it from a distance.
Xue Ji let out a long sigh, and said softly, "I thought that I would be too sentimental to harm the way, and when I entered the mountain, I was afraid that I would be separated from the king. In the world, the law of two things is safe, and I can live up to the three cleanliness and live up to the sovereign?"
Unable to control himself any longer, the emperor ran over and shouted, "Xue Ji!"
Xue Ji turned her head, and when she saw him, she showed a beautiful smile and called, "Your Majesty!"
Xue Ji suddenly remembered something, turned around again, and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
The emperor took her hand and said, "Xue Ji, you also have feelings for me, right?"
"Your Majesty, don't do this. We can't do it."
"Xue Ji, I love you, my heart is full of you."
"Your Majesty... why are you suffering?"
The emperor said: "Xue Ji, for you, I can be the emperor. I am passed down to the Nine Kings, and I will go with you to practice in the mountains."
Xue Ji looked at him deeply and burst into tears, as if moved, the emperor hugged her, and she finally fell into his arms and cried.
Zhang Su, who was watching a play on the roof, was eating fruit. Cen Biqing pulled her sleeve and said, "Madam, should we avoid it at this time?"
Zhang Sudao: "I think I should go and sing a big play at this time."
Cen Biqing looked at the two people in the garden, panicked and said, "Uncle, isn't this the right time?"
Zhang Su sighed and said, "It's really not suitable."
They fled immediately.
The next day, the emperor summoned her into the palace to see the driver, only to see that his cheeks were dizzy, and his eyes were always blurred.
The emperor said: "The protector of the country, I have made up my mind. I want to welcome Xue Ji as the queen, please don't stop it."
Zhang Sudao: "Your Majesty, I made it clear to Li Shangshu that day that Xue Ji is really not suitable. Your Majesty should hire another beautiful woman."
"Uncle Master!" Suddenly, a stunning beauty appeared behind the rockery. Who wasn't Xue Ji?
"Uncle Shi, you... you agree."
"Xue Ji, what are you talking about!?"
Xue Ji said, "Uncle, please bless me and the emperor. If I can cultivate a lifetime of love with the emperor, I am willing to give up my cultivation."
Zhang Sudao: "Do you remember how you promised your master back then? You said you would never be greedy for the red dust."
Xue Ji said: "Cultivation in the mountains is lonely, it is better to have someone you like by your side to know the coldness and warmth. I feel sorry for the emperor, and the emperor also sincerely pity me, Shishu, please do it!"
Saying that, Xue Ji bowed down to her knees.
Zhang Su took a step back and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. After a long while, he said, "If you want someone you like, why can't you wait until after you have passed the world and practice? Wouldn't it be better to find a Taoist companion then? "
Xue Ji said, "Uncle Shi, if I don't have a chance in the Immortal Dao, I would like to practice the Divine Dao."
Zhang Su sternly said: "Do you think that the way of immortality and the way of the gods are chosen by you? Do you think that you will definitely become the way of **** if you give up the way of immortality? Maybe after a few decades, you will be forever in reincarnation, do you understand?"
Xue Ji said: "Uncle Shi, you have always hurt me the most. Whenever Master blames me, it is you who speaks for me. You can hurt me again and fulfill me."
Zhang Su said, "How confused you are!"
Xue Ji said: "I don't know where the love started, and it's deep in one net. What's the point of sacrificing one's cultivation base? I dare to ask my uncle, if you have to give up your whole cultivation base to be able to show up with my uncle, would you like it or not? willing?"
Zhang Sudao: "Your master's cultivation base is higher than mine, why do I need to give up my cultivation base? I'm about to catch up."
Xue Ji said sadly: "Your Majesty's immortality is missed, I really have no other way. When I first saw it in my life, it was only ordinary, but when I thought about it, I couldn't help myself."
Zhang Su said sharply, "You will regret it!"
Xue Ji raised her head, she was so beautiful and decisive: "Xue Ji has no regrets."
Zhang Su ignored the king and walked away. The emperor hurried to help Xue Ji, Xue Ji said: "Your Majesty, Shishu... She was so angry, so she was rude to you. Don't blame her, she has always hurt me the most, so she is so angry."
The emperor said: "How can I blame her? You sacrificed so much for me, I am sorry for you."
Xue Ji shook her head and said, "As long as I can be with you, I'll be happy."
...
Yuan Shi took his son and the leader of Tongtian to Bajing Palace.
Zhang Su randomly changed the script, and the previous layout of Daozu was interrupted.
They also watched the battle of the gods earlier, and found that there would be immortals in the sky who could not survive the robbery and were sifted out.
Tongtian sect master has seen that the Yuqingmen are still fighting, and those Shenyuan who have not grown in Taoism for thousands of years are all from Shangqing, and he can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Tong Tiandao: "Second brother, second sister-in-law's method of getting rid of the noble Qi Wanqian in the lower realm is also poisonous enough, and it is very similar to yours."
Yuan Shi said: "Speaking of which, it seems that your sect has done more, right? The demons around her are all from your sect, and even the poison comes from the toad spirits of Zhao Gongming's sect."
The Tongtian Sect Master chuckled and said, "I don't know that the unworthy disciple of Zhao Gongming's sect can still use it like this."
Lao Tzu said: "The loyal and good people have their usages, and the unfaithful, unrighteous and unkind people also have their usages. This is the way of human beings."
Yuan Shi said: "It's just that now, Madam has entered the world ahead of schedule, and Ziwei Xing is still studying under Xuandu. Isn't it useless when he is born?"
Tongtian sect master said: "If the emperor of the lower realm won't break things, let him be."
The disciples of the Tongtian sect master have all become queens. At this time, the expansion will be implemented, and the number of sects will increase greatly, so there is no need to go to Ziweixing.
Laozi said: "Seventeen years later, Zhang Su and your disciples will all be successful, and the heaven will be newly established, and they will have a seat. If the lower realm is handed over to the emperor or the ordinary descendants of the Zhao family, I am afraid that it will not continue. Foundation?"
Tongtian thought to himself: Isn't this Ziweixing a disciple of human teaching? I'm not afraid either, the future queen is still my disciple. Whoever dares to share my arrogance, I will kill Ziwei Xing.
