Chapter 182 - North
Kang Wang Zhao Zhuang had already left. A sixteen or seventeen year old Daoist Priest had entered the Yellow Dragon Cave!
This Daoist Priest had red lips, white teeth, and was exceptionally handsome! Or perhaps it could not be called handsome, but rather beautiful! Other than Liu Guangshi, the only other person in the world who was such a beautiful man was probably him!
The little cultivator walked up to Lin Lingsu, bowed respectfully, and said: "Master, you really want to help Emperor Jianyan? Persuade Li Yanxian? "
Lin Lingsu nodded and said, "That's right."
The little Daoist was startled and said: "Master, the Emperor Jianyan was cowardly and cowardly. When the Female Genuine invaded, she was still far from Hangzhou, but he fled to the surface of the sea! In comparison, the Emperor Xuanwu was much more heroic than the Emperor Jianyan. Now that the Emperor Xuanwu is so powerful, why did you not help the Emperor Xuanwu, and instead helped him? "
Lin Lingsu said, "There is a definite rule in heaven. The two Overlords were captured by the female true spirit, and their destiny is for the Emperor Jianyan to become the ruler of China! Although Emperor Xuanwu's performance was not bad, it was only a lull in the park, and in the end, the only road left for him was death! We cultivators must follow the orders of the heavens, and that's why Master decided to help Emperor Jianyan! You have always followed me for cultivation and rarely go out. This time, you should come with me to the north to meet Li Yanxian! Speaking of which, Li Yanxian and I are quite fated. He had a serious illness when he was young, and I was in the northwest at the time, coincidentally saving his life! If I were to go and advise him, he would definitely listen to me! "
After Lin Lingsu tidied up a bit, she left the Yellow Dragon Cave with her disciple, Zhao Pingzhi, and headed towards the north.
In a blink of an eye, many days had passed, and on the thirteenth day of the fifth month, Lin Lingsu and her disciple came to Kaifeng Mansion!
The Kaifeng Mansion was a scene of devastation, with broken buildings and weeds everywhere! Along the way, they did not see many people. Instead, they saw quite a lot of wild cats and dogs! These stray cats and dogs had become wild after surviving in the deserted city. They bared their fangs at them, making them look exceptionally terrifying! Zhao Pingzhi was slightly afraid as he followed closely behind Lin Lingsu.
"Master, where are we going?" Zhao Ping.
"Let's go see Master Zong Ze!" Lin Lingsu said.
"Master Zong Ze is actually living here?" Zhao Pingzhi said in disbelief.
Lin Lingsu nodded, he continued to move forward, and not long after, a military camp appeared in front of him, and countless figures finally appeared here! These people were all soldiers, they were all loyal troops recruited by Zong Ze!
After Lin Lingsu revealed her identity, the rebel soldiers immediately revealed a look of respect! Lin Lingsu had an extremely high position in the Jianghu, and was almost the strongest person in the Jianghu! These soldiers of the allied army were all born into the martial arts world, so they naturally did not dare to slight him!
After a short period of time, an old man came out from the military camp to welcome them! The old man's hair was white, his face thin, and his eyes sunken. He was Southern Song Dynasty's famous subject, Zong Ze!
"Brother Ru Lin, it has been years since we last met. You look just like you did!" Lin Lingsu laughed.
Ru Lin was Zong Ze's calligraphy! Lin Lingsu and Zong Ze seemed to be exceptionally familiar with each other, so they addressed him directly by his name!
"Dao Friend Lin, it has indeed been many years since we last met! I remember the last time I saw you was ten years ago! Over the past ten years, the world has been in turmoil and I am no longer the same as I was before! On the contrary, Taoist Master Lin, you have not changed at all since ten years ago! " Zong Ze sighed.
Zong Ze was exceptionally skilled, he was the strongest in the officials of the Central Plains! However, even with this kind of martial arts technique, he had been worrying about national affairs all these years. Half of his originally jet-black hair had already turned white. His originally abnormally healthy body was now also frequently sick! Unfortunately, even so, he was still unable to resolve all the national affairs!
"Your body doesn't seem right. I'll let you have a look later!" Lin Lingsu looked at Zong Ze carefully for a while, and said.
"Good!" Thank you very much, Taoist-sir! "Please come in, Taoist!" Zong Ze laughed.
Lin Lingsu, Zong Ze and the rest entered the army camp, and in a tent in front of them, Zong Ze called for wine and food to be served, to entertain Lin Lingsu!
"To be honest, I am here on the orders of the Emperor Jianyan!" Lin Lingsu said.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" His Majesty's decree? "What does Your Majesty want the Taoist to do?" Zong Ze was surprised, and said.
"His Majesty sent me to the Shaanxi to recruit the thirty-six allied armies of the Shaanxi! If these thirty-six allied armies are recruited by His Majesty, they can naturally threaten Emperor Xuanwu and even take Guan Shan away! " Lin Lingsu said.
"This …" Zong Ze frowned.
"Do you think there's anything wrong with him?" Lin Lingsu said.
"Regardless of whether it is Emperor Jianyan or not, they are both members of my Song Dynasty's Imperial Family! Now the Nvzhen is eyeing us covetously, and we are still fighting each other internally. I think that although we can recruit the thirty-six allied armies, we do not need to threaten the Emperor Xuanwu! " Zong Ze said.
"Brother Ru Lin's words are wrong!" The sky never changes, the people have no two lords! Right now, it was precisely because the Song Dynasty had two Monarchs that caused the south of the river and the Middle Han Area to split apart. This way, the Nvzhen would naturally be even more arrogant! If your majesty wants to expel the Tataru, you must first eliminate the entire Emperor Xuanwu. Lin Lingsu said.
"Emperor Xuanwu is the first son of the Supreme Emperor, so he should have inherited the position of Emperor. It's just that at that time, the Emperor Xuanwu was young, so we had no choice but to support the Emperor Jianyan! Now that the Emperor Jianyan wants to kill all of Emperor Xuanwu, I don't really agree with it! " Zong Ze shook his head.
"When Kaifeng City broke through that day, I was observing the sky at night in Jiangnan. At that time, Emperor Xuanwu was already destined to die! Although he had escaped from Kaifeng later on, it was still the Emperor Star that was in a dark state. Sooner or later, he would fall! On the other hand, the Emperor Jianyan was an emperor with the fate of becoming a Great Song Emperor! For a clan member like me to help the Emperor Jianyan to deal with the Emperor Xuanwu, it would only be following the orders of the heavens! "You Lin, you must not do anything that defies the will of the heavens!" Lin Lingsu said.
"If you were to go to the north to recruit Li Yanxian and the others and make them useful to the Emperor Jianyan, I would definitely support you! At that time, I also felt that Emperor Xuanwu was incapable of doing anything, and was not qualified to be called Great Song Emperor's man! But just a few months ago, Emperor Xuanwu led his forces to defeat Jin Army, and all the soldiers and citizens of the world became excited! Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, other than the two emperors of the Taizu Taizong, no one else could compare to the Emperor Xuanwu! I think that in the future, we might have to rely on the Emperor Xuanwu to expel the Tataru. Zong Ze said.
"You don't understand the Mandate of Heaven, so I won't say much to you! I have the orders from the Emperor Jianyan, you have to cooperate with me! You are still the subordinate of the Emperor Jianyan, you can't possibly go against the orders given by the Emperor Jianyan, right? " Lin Lingsu said.
"Sigh!" Zong Ze heaved a long sigh.
then explained the various situations of the Shaanxi's allied armies, and Lin Lingsu kept all of these in her heart!
After Zong Ze finished speaking, Lin Lingsu helped Zong Ze inspect his body! Zong Ze's body was actually made up of fatigue. After Lin Lingsu gave her diagnosis a while, she prescribed some medicine and then advised Zong Ze not to overwork himself with the affairs of the country. Zong Ze just smiled bitterly and shook his head!
On the morning of the second day, Lin Lingsu and Zhao Ping once again headed towards the north.
From June onwards, the weather in the north had turned overcast!
On the fifth of June, a downpour came from the Shaanxi!
At this moment, in a valley more than fifty kilometers south of Shaanxi, countless people had rushed over like the rain!
There was a bamboo house in the valley, and a middle-aged man in his thirties was standing there. This middle-aged man was not very tall, but he was very sturdy! He was wearing a long robe, but he did not look like a scholar! There was no way to hide his valiant aura!
This man was the leader of Shaanxi's 36 armies, Li Yanxian! In history, this person was also famous! When the Jin Army invaded the south, he used up all his wealth to recruit soldiers and horses! After Kaifeng was broken, this person returned to the northwest. Countless commoners came to him in the northwest, and he chose men to form a united army! After that, the Jin Army's main forces would attack the Shaanxi, and this person would use a clever plan, setting an ambush to defeat the Jin Army multiple times! After that, he became the leader of the Shaanxi's allied armies!
Now that the history had changed, Li Yanxian was still the leader of the Northwest Army, famous throughout the world!
A few days ago, he informed the various chieftain of the allied army s to come to the Yan'an Prefecture to discuss about major matters! But today, all of the chieftain of the allied army s had basically arrived, all that was missing was one Li Shifu!
Just then, a voice came from up ahead, they saw a young man around the age of seventeen or eighteen who led a few subordinates into the valley. Li Yanxian anxiously walked forward and laughed: "Old brother Shifu, you've finally come!"
This seventeen or eighteen year old youth looked very ordinary. If he was still in the crowd, there would definitely not be many people who would be able to recognize him, but his identity was not small.
"Why did you bring us here?" This youth called Li Shifu said.
Li Shifu nodded, and went to change his clothes, not mentioning anything else!
Late at night, when the rain had stopped, all the chieftain of the allied army were gathered on a high ground in the valley.
Other than the chieftain of the allied army s, the tens of thousands of loyal army underlings were also present. They were all listening to the leaders above!
