Chapter 95 Before the battle, I must ask the Princess of Zhou and the elders of Duotian Sect to come...

Xing Can was very efficient. Under his command, the wooden puppets had built more than 200 palaces. These palaces had overlapping courtyards and staggered pavilions. It would be easy to get lost without someone to lead the way.

For this purpose, Xing Shen specially prepared a mechanical bird to guide the way, which could be put into use as long as the magic talisman was affixed to it and the spiritual stone was loaded into it.

Xing Can was surprised to see Gongsun Jianxia appear at the kitchen door. He didn't expect that Jianxia could find the remote kitchen without any guidance.

But then he felt relieved. The swordsman was so powerful. How could a mere twenty acres of land be a secret in front of her majestic spiritual sense?

He didn't know that Li Zhou didn't use his spiritual sense to find the way, but came here by smelling the scent.

Of course, a keen sense of smell is also closely related to a strong spiritual awareness. From this perspective, Xing Can was right again.

When they heard that the swordsman was going to Inuyi with Princess Changning, everyone knew why the swordsman, who was usually obsessed with practicing swordsmanship, suddenly appeared in the kitchen.

Could it be that Gongsun Jianxia was eyeing this bite of food?

How is that possible.

The swordsman had a cold face but a warm heart. She said nothing but just picked up the food in silence. But in fact, everyone knew why she came here.

With her departure, only mortals like them will be left in the sect. Who knows whether the surrounding demons, ghosts, and even government officials will plot against the sect.

No wonder the swordsman made a special patrol of the mountain during the day, this was to deter the villains.

But how long can this deterrence last?

When those with evil intentions discover that the swordsman and the sect leader are not in the mountain, what awaits everyone will probably be the most severe test since joining the Duotian Sect.

Everyone knows that in today's world, it is a rare thing to be able to practice in peace in a peaceful place like Duotian Sect.

As we all know, the world outside is becoming more and more chaotic. No one can live under the wings of others forever. If you want to continue to be a human being instead of an animal for food, you must be independent.

Therefore, even though the swordsman and the clan leader had enough ability to protect Xili Mountain, they still chose to travel far away.

Not only because they have more important things to do, but also because they want everyone in the Duotian Sect to grow up as quickly as possible.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Hong Zhu, who had already installed a prosthetic leg, murmured: "Master Swordsman, I want to go to Sizhou City with you tomorrow. After resting for so long, I should also go back to the Monster Hunting Division."

Huang Qiufang was startled: "Master Hongzhu, are you going to die just after your injury healed?"

Hong Zhu nodded, and seeing the worry on everyone's faces, she smiled and said, "The artificial leg that Xing Shen made for me is better than my original leg."

She lifted her robe, revealing a prosthetic leg. She fiddled with something, and sharp steel needles grew out of her leg. She stomped her foot, and the needles retracted. The texture that was originally close to human skin suddenly turned into brass. When she stepped on it, a hole appeared on the floor tile.

Everyone exclaimed in amazement during this demonstration; even Gongsun Jianxia, who was eating in silence, looked at him in surprise.

Hongzhu knew in her heart that there was no way the swordsman would be surprised by such a little trick. She was just using this method to silently express her admiration.

Taoist Qi Ying took out a box of pills and pushed it to her hand: "Since you have made your decision, we can't stop you. This is the latest pill I made. It contains poison, antidote, drug, insect poison... everything you need. Here are the corresponding instructions for use. Please accept it."

The Mohist Xing Can took out several small oil bottles with long necks and round bellies, as well as a wooden token five inches long and two inches wide. The token was engraved with a ruler and a compass, as well as densely packed and complicated numbers that gave people a headache at the mere sight of them.

Xing Shen said, "The oil bottle contains mechanical lubricating oil. Oil the artificial leg once every half a month. The token is the Master Token of our Mozhe. Although our lineage is in decline, the other lineage is a favorite of the emperor. If you encounter difficulties, drip three drops of your heart's blood on the Master Token. As long as any Mozhe senses it, he will definitely come to help you."

Qi Ying had talked to him a lot these days and knew the grudges between Old Mo and New Mo. Hearing this, he asked in confusion, "Isn't New Mo your enemy? How could it be that it would obey your orders?"

Xing Can said: "After the separation of New Mohism and Old Mohism, no great figure has emerged. What New Mohism hates is the pedantry of Old Mohism, not the Mohists themselves."

Qi Ying raised an eyebrow: "Your relationship is also quite complicated."

Xing Can smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The swordsman Li Zhou listened to their conversation and continued to pick up dishes silently. He could not remember at all that when the female doctor Li Zhou was in Fengzhou, the Mohist Yin Chan mentioned the old Mo with such a complicated tone.

Hong Zhu didn't say anything polite. She took Qi Ying's elixir, Xing Can's oil bottle and the Giant Master's Order. The Giant Master's Order could make all Mohists obey his orders. It should be the most precious treasure of the Mohist school. Yet Xing Can gave it to her just like that.

She looked around and clasped her fists solemnly: "Thank you."

Huang Qiufang thought about it and packed a bag of cakes for Hongzhu. She didn't have the skills of the adults, so this was all she could give as a small token of her appreciation.

Swordsman Li Zhou looked at Hongzhu who was talking to everyone, and suddenly realized that if Hongzhu set out with him, he wouldn't have to worry about what time it was.

That’s great.

Li Zhou's troubles came and went quickly.

…

Sizhou City.

A dinner party was also being held at the governor's residence, but the theme of the party was not farewell, but how to serve Gongsun Jianxia well in this war to conquer the barbarians.

Whether it is Governor Jiang, Princess Changning, or the Emperor's latest appointed General of the Western Expedition, they can all be considered smart people.

Smart people know that if it weren't for the swordsman, the entire Fengzhou would have become Mahakala's slaughterhouse. If the swordsman hadn't been willing to help, how could mortals like them dare to attack the base camp of the gods.

Therefore, no one had any objection to the fact that the most important thing in this war to conquer the barbarians was to please Gongsun Jianxia.

If his feet were not fast enough, the general would have wanted to replace Lingjian and be stepped on by Gongsun Jianxia every day.

Alas, I really envy that white dog. It actually got such a good deal and became the mount of the Duotian Sect Master.

What an honor it is to be a dog of the Duotian Sect.

Governor Jiang reminded the general to be more restrained. Although Niu Dianqian suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away within two days, Sizhou temporarily did not have a Dianqian to supervise the local areas, but the current emperor had so many eyes and ears that no one knew whether there were any secret eyes hiding in the dark recording their every move.

The general knew that he had spoken out of turn, and immediately stopped talking about wanting to be a dog. He was a martial arts champion who came from a commoner family. Originally, such a good job of making achievements would not have been his. Who was it that the left and right prime ministers had used the wrong people in the recent natural disasters, and could not recommend the nobles from the big families, so he had to take advantage of this opportunity.

Taking out the tactical deployment written by his staff, the general said sternly: "For this battle, our army will be divided into three routes. General Meng will lead the army on the left route to cut off the connection between the Quanyi and the countries of Nanyu, Rongdian, Luoying, etc. By the way, we will find out what exotic treasures these small countries have, so as to avoid boring the journey of the swordsman."

"General Dong will lead the army on the right wing, carry the remains of the Inuyi prince, attract the main force of the Inuyi, and perform the ritual of summoning the gods in the memory of the Inuyi prince, and try to summon Mahakala to let the swordsman have a good meal."

"General Xia led the central army, raised the princess's banner, issued a letter to the Inuyi national master, and headed straight to the Inuyi royal court to clear the king's flank. He also searched for temples in the Inuyi territory and sent the powerful statues to the swordsman for disposal."

"In addition, Vanguard Wei will lead another detachment of troops to search the mountains and seas, find out the loopholes and fill the gaps, and capture all the evil spirits hiding in the mountains and wilds to provide entertainment for Master Swordsman after dinner."

Princess Changning sat in the main seat, carefully read the tactical deployment, nodded and said: "Generally speaking, there is no mistake, but some details need to be discussed. For example, in Nanyu, Rongdian, Luoying and other countries, don't they have evil spirits rampant, and urgently need our Great Zhou to conquer them? For another example, are these evil spirits so ungrateful that after hearing about the name of Gongsun Jianxia, no one took the initiative to dance and sing? In addition, although the people of Quanyi were bewitched by the national teacher, after being taught by the king's teacher, don't they know who the true god is? Didn't any of them write books and erect statues for Gongsun Jianxia and Duotian Sect Master, and spread the Duotian Sect's righteous law?"

The general opened his eyes wide and nodded repeatedly. He asked his staff to write down everything. He clasped his fists and said, "The princess is smart and quick-witted, and has a thorough understanding. She is truly a natural military talent. Even though I have studied military books hard, I cannot compare with her."

Governor Jiang stroked his neatly trimmed beard and nodded in agreement.

While the staff was writing furiously, he glanced at the expressions of Governor Jiang and the princess, and muttered to himself that the general's words not only praised the princess herself, but also made his colleague, Governor Jiang, the princess's biological father, feel proud. Indeed, when it comes to being an official, he still has a lot to learn.

…

The court of the Dog-barbarian king.

The state teacher Zanda also offered his own strategy to deal with the enemy to the Inuyi King.

The two of them already knew the news that the Quanyi army had turned against them, the prince had died in battle, and that the Great Zhou was about to conquer the Quanyi.

King Inuyi fainted after hearing the news. He woke up three days later. The first thing he did after waking up was to summon his close ministers to write a letter of surrender.

The power of the Inuyi Kingdom was far inferior to that of the Zhou Kingdom. If the gods had not given him an oracle, he would not have dared to fight this battle.

Now that even the gods have been defeated, how could he still have the will to resist? He was afraid that if he surrendered too slowly, the Zhou army would be knocking on the door outside the royal court.

By then, he might not even be able to hold the position of Duke Anle, and would have to be sent to the capital of Zhou in pieces... He knew all the historical stories about how the kings of those defeated small countries were divided up by the Zhou soldiers who were eager for military merit.

What is reborn, heartbroken, racking one's brains, searching one's heart...

Who made the wicked Emperor of Zhou promise that rewards would be given according to the size of the enemy leaders captured?

At first, everyone thought it was just the size of the leader, but later they found out that it also included the size...

When the surrender letter was halfway written, the national teacher Zando stopped the Inuyi King and brought the latest oracle.

"Mahakala has already contacted many other gods, formed an alliance, and laid a net. Your Majesty, don't panic. This time, the Princess of Zhou and the elder of Duotian Sect will definitely not return!"
