Chapter 119: Bragging between Brothers
Thousands of monsters attacked, and the Ice and Snow Empire immediately beat the drums to retreat. At the same time, more than 30 monks flew in from the rear and released various magic weapons to stop the monsters from chasing.
Seeing the Ice and Snow Empire retreat for the first time, the soldiers on the city wall all cheered, and many of them collapsed on the ground. The continuous fighting had already made them exhausted. If it weren't for the strict military discipline of the Zhenbei Army and the tenacity of the soldiers, the city wall might have been lost long ago.
Seeing the Ice and Snow Empire Army retreat ten miles away from Chen Guangyuan, Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He arranged the sentinels and immediately said to the two lieutenant generals of the Monster Department next to him: "On behalf of the Zhenbei Army, I would like to thank General Youji and General Xiaowu for their support. I will immediately hold a banquet to welcome the generals of the Monster Department."
"Second brother, you must be mentally prepared. The monsters like to eat meat, so you should be prepared to contribute all the pigs, cattle and sheep you raise here." Zhou Di laughed.
"No matter how many, as long as the Zhenxi Army has it, the generals of the Demon Tribe can eat and drink as much as they want." Zhou Yuan was also generous. He waved his hand and asked his men to prepare, and led You Ji, seven demon kings and hundreds of big demons to the square.
There were too many other demon cultivators, and they were so huge that they couldn't fit in. You Ji wouldn't let them come, so she just stood guard outside the city wall and asked people to send pigs, cattle and sheep, and they would solve the problem themselves.
All the tables and chairs have been taken out and placed in the square. After all, this is just a checkpoint and there is no big palace, so there is no way to seat so many people.
Zhou Yuan invited the generals of the Demon Tribe and several generals of the Zhenbei Army to sit down.
He first pointed to a grey-bearded veteran and said, "Sixth Brother, this is my teacher and father-in-law, and the old marshal of the Zhenbei Army, Yang Yuelin. I don't need to introduce him to you. If it weren't for your father-in-law's support over the years, I'm afraid your second brother would have died long ago."
"Hello, Marshal Yang. I grew up listening to his stories. My father has always taken him as our role model. When my second elder brother was a teenager, he would always say that he wanted to be Marshal Yang when he grew up." Zhou Di stood up and saluted as a junior.
Yang Yuelin stroked his beard and laughed, "Now you are the left prime minister of the country. You have done a very good job in the affairs of the Western Border. I have been worried about voodoo being introduced into the empire. Fortunately, you can stop it over there. Good, good."
"To be honest, I just stopped the refugees from breaking through. The one who really solved the problem in the Western Regions was the emperor. Old Yang may not know that the voodoo in the Western Regions was all done by the Jitian Sect, in order to refine the corpses of the people in Huangzhou into corpse puppets and form an army of 100,000 corpse puppets.
That thing is invulnerable to swords and guns, and it has corpse poison. It has also gathered a large number of independent cultivators and evil ways, and attacks day and night. If it weren't for Senior Mi Luo and the three imperial concubines, Linsha Pass would have been breached long ago. "Zhou Di still felt a lingering fear when he thought of what happened at the beginning.
"The Jitian Sect, we have heard this name many times recently. They actually did something so evil and heinous that they really deserve to be punished."
Yang Yuelin was furious. Although Huangzhou was not the territory of the Qianyuan Empire, any normal person would be angry after hearing about the spread of voodoo and the murder of so many innocent people.
Zhou Yuan then pulled the two beautiful women beside him. The older one was wearing ordinary women's clothes, giving people a generous and steady feeling. The younger one was also lovely, but she was wearing armor.
"Sixth Brother, these two are my wives, both are Yang Shuai's daughters. You have also seen the eldest daughter, Yang Cailing. She was betrothed to me when I was still an adult.
You should have seen the second daughter, Yang Xue, when you were young." Zhou Yuan said with a boastful expression.
"Wow, second brother, you are so great that both of Old Yang's daughters will marry you!" Zhou Di saluted the two girls with a fist.
Yang Cailing smiled and saluted, saying, "Hello, Sixth Uncle. Ten years have passed in a flash. You and I were still young back then."
Yang Xue clasped her fists and shouted like a man: "Hello, Sixth Uncle. This time, thanks to you for bringing reinforcements, we might not be able to hold out for a few days at most. Fortunately, Xiaojiu has a conscience."
Yang Yuelin immediately scolded: "Xue'er, you must not be rude to the emperor."
Zhou Yuan also said helplessly: "Sixth Brother, don't mind it, Xue'er is just like that, she doesn't have any bad intentions."
"I didn't say anything bad about Xiaojiu. I said he is good. Why are you so nervous?" Yang Xue spread her hands and sat down with a bored look on her face.
"Xue'er is still the same as when she was little. The wild kid back then is now married to my second brother."
Zhou Di smiled, and then said: "Mr. Yang, the two people beside me are lieutenant generals of the Demon Department. I have introduced them just now. With the generals of the Demon Department here, it should not be difficult to defend the Ice Customs.
The emperor is now busy dealing with the Jitian Sect. After dealing with the Jitian Sect leader, the emperor said that he would come to Binghai Customs to meet with Elder Yang and my second brother in person. "
Xiao Wu suddenly said: "The Ice and Snow Empire and the Ji Tian Sect Leader are nothing. The real problem is Master Yufeng. If his problem is not solved, we will all be doomed."
"Master Yufeng!" a middle-aged female cultivator nearby screamed.
Zhou Yuan introduced: "This is the elder of Qixia Sect, Fairy Mingyu."
Yang Yuelin asked, "Does Fairy Mingyu recognize Master Yufeng?"
Fairy Mingyu showed awe in her eyes, looked at Zhou Di and asked, "Master Yufeng has come out of seclusion? He is helping the enemy country?"
"Yes, You Ji saw it with her own eyes. She was in charge of the military camp of the Southern Five Nations Alliance." Zhou Di said.
Fairy Mingyu sat down with a helpless expression, sighed and said: "Master Yufeng is an ancestor-level figure among the cultivators of the human race. Legend has it that he protected the human race three thousand years ago, which enabled the human race to rise.
Three thousand years ago, he was able to participate in the war of all races, let alone now. Moreover, his disciples include humans, demons, and ghosts. Each of them is a top figure in the contemporary world of immortal cultivation. It is said that only those who are at the ninth level of the innate realm can leave the mountain. "
Upon hearing this introduction, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army and the disciples of the Qixia Sect and the Shenkong Sect present were all shocked. How could they fight if such a person stood on the side of the enemy?
This time even You Ji and Xiao Wu were silent, and they no longer had the same momentum as before. It was really because Master Yufeng was too strong.
Zhou Di immediately said, "You don't have to worry so much. The emperor has already made arrangements. They have Master Yufeng, and we also have two seniors, Bai Lao and Mi Luo. They are also figures from the War of All Races period. The two of them together are enough to compete with Master Yufeng."
"Really!" Zhou Yuan was pleasantly surprised, with an expression of disbelief on his face. He never expected that Xiao Jiu could invite two such great masters.
"Don't underestimate the emperor, second brother. By the way, this is what the emperor asked me to give to you, second brother." Zhou Di took out a large wooden box from the treasure bag and handed it to him personally.
Zhou Yuan was curious, so he opened the box and saw two mental methods, Haohan Qiankun Jue and Xiantian Qiankun Jue, the Art of War of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, the Eight Desolate Formation Flag, a magic weapon specially used for marching and fighting, and three bottles of Baicao Dan.
Zhou Di smiled and said, "The emperor said that this is the Zhou family's skills, and everyone in the Zhou family should learn it. The art of war, the formation flag magic weapon, and the Hundred Herb Pill are the credit of my second brother's guarding the border over the years."
"This is a martial art that only the emperor can practice, and what is this Xiantian Qiankun Jue?" Zhou Yuan already understood something in his mind, but he still asked.
"The Xiantian Qiankun Jue is a heavenly-level mental method based on the Haohan Qiankun Jue. Originally, the emperor wanted everyone in the Zhou family to practice it, but I suggested that it be passed down to males and not females." Zhou Di said.
"I am already thirty-seven years old and have been practicing the Shenkong Sect's mental method. I no longer have time to start over. Xiaojiu, no, I accept the emperor's intention. Let my two sons practice it." Zhou Yuan said.
"Second brother, please arrange it. This Hundred Herb Pill is refined by the Hundred Flowers Palace. It can increase internal strength and is suitable for laying the foundation in the acquired realm. There will also be pills for the innate realm later. Second brother can apply directly to the higher-ups if he needs it." Zhou Di said with a smile.
"The palace also provides these?" Zhou Yuan was shocked again. These things were national treasures in the past.
Zhou Di laughed loudly and said, "Second brother, you should go to Qianjing when you have time. The court now is completely different from before. To be disrespectful, even Taizu back then was far inferior to it."
Zhou Yuan, Marshal Yang and others looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
