"Okay." Fang Jian said with a smile.
Then, Fang Jian and Li Xuanyi stayed in Lingxia Mountain for one night.
In the early morning of the next day, Fang Jian was sitting cross-legged on the wooden couch in meditation. Suddenly, his expression moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
'Knock knock knock'
There was a slight knock on the door, and then Cen Biqing's voice came in: "Fellow Daoist Hongqing, are you up?"
Fang Jian stood up and walked down from the wooden couch, then opened the door. He saw Cen Biqing standing outside the door, holding a jade book.
Fang Jian stepped aside and said with a smile, "Fairy Qing, please come in."
Cen Biqing stepped into the room and said, "You and Master Li will leave Lingxia Mountain in a while, right?"
Fang Jian sat down at the table with Cen Biqing inside the room, then nodded and said, "Yes, Fairy Qing, do you have any other instructions?"
"How dare I give you an order?" Cen Biqing shook his head and smiled, saying, "But I do have two things to tell you."
Fang Jian sat up straight upon hearing this and said, "Fairy Qing, please speak."
Cen Biqing said: "The first thing is Peach Blossom Mountain..."
Cen Biqing told Fang Jian what Zhou Qinghan had asked him to do. Fang Jian was surprised and asked, "Why hasn't the flower demon been released yet?"
After saying this, he smiled again and said, "It should be that the Thunder Gods of the Thunder Department have been delayed by something. This matter is easy to handle. I can just go to the Thunder Department after I return to Heaven."
Cen Biqing nodded and stopped talking about the matter. Instead, he handed over the jade book in his hand and said, "This is the merit book that you have earned from selling all the immortal medicines since the last time you shared the merit. Take a look at it first."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian took the jade book and flipped through it casually, then turned directly to the last page. He looked at the total amount on it and said, "How much should I get this time?"
Cen Biqing smiled with her clear eyes and said, "One million and five hundred thirty thousand."
Fang Jian's expression froze. "So many?"
Cen Biqing smiled and said, "Some time ago, when the Zhenyang Dao Palace was at its most powerful, I sold a lot of immortal medicines on Lingxia Mountain. However, except for a few types, the others were priced at around 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000 merits. This type of immortal medicine sold the most, but since last month, it has been deserted here. Otherwise, I could have distributed more."
Fang Jian nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, look, what I told you back at Broken Boundary Mountain wasn't a lie, was it?"
Cen Biqing smiled and shook his head slowly, then took out the merit talisman and said, "I'll give you these 1.53 million merits first."
Fang Jian didn't refuse and directly accepted the 1.53 million merits. Then he said, "How about this, from now on, you and I will each receive one point of merit every ten years. How about that?"
Cen Biqing thought about it and nodded, "That's fine."
Fang Jian nodded, then remembered something and said, "Oh, right, show me your magic weapon."
Cen Biqing was a little surprised when he heard this, but he still summoned his own life-saving magic weapon, the Green Bamboo Sword, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fang Jian glanced at the Green Bamboo Sword and said, "Is this a True Immortal-level life-defining magic weapon?"
Cen Biqing nodded and said with a smile, "How is it? Pretty good, right?"
Fang Jian said, "It's indeed quite good among the True Immortals, but it's still a bit weak in the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou. How about this? I'll find the Tiangong Academy and refine another top-grade magic weapon for you to use with the Green Bamboo Sword."
Cen Biqing's eyes lit up and he said, "A magic weapon made by the Heavenly Court? Okay, if you need any materials, just tell me directly and I'll get them."
"Haha." Fang Jian waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, I still have some face in the Heavenly Court. Fairy Qing will wait."
"Okay." Cen Biqing didn't say much, but nodded with a smile.
Afterwards, Fang Jian spoke to Cen Biqing for a while, and it was soon noon.
Fang Jian and Li Xuanyi bid farewell to Cen Biqing, Master Caijing, and everyone on Lingxia Mountain, and returned to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
...
Just as Fang Jian said, his work would take at most one month and at most three months.
Without the help of Zhenyang Taoist Palace, the performance of the Great Zhou Kingdom was really terrible.
Half a month after Fang Jian and Li Xuanyi killed Lan Jianling and returned to the Great Zhou Kingdom, Zhu Di's 5,000 armored cavalry rushed to the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Along the way, the infantry of the Great Zhou Kingdom was simply unable to fight against 5,000 armored cavalry in the open air. As soon as Zhu Di arrived, those prefectures closed themselves off and cleared the fields, hoping to force Zhu Di to retreat.
But Zhu Di had hundreds of people responding to his calls along the way, and he had plenty of ways to get supplies.
My five thousand cavalrymen can't take down your city, but can't I break down a few earthen forts of powerful people?
Moreover, Zhu Di discovered that as soon as he attacked the earthen forts of the powerful, many refugees would come to help immediately, and even the slaves in the earthen forts of the powerful would join forces with Zhu Di.
Every time Zhu Di conquered a powerful fortress, he would take away a portion of the money and food as military supplies, and distribute the rest to the refugees and victims of disasters. He would also burn all their slave contracts with fire. None of the powerful people would be spared, and they would all be hanged on the roadside.
In this way, Zhu Di led 5,000 cavalrymen across states and prefectures. Not only did the team not feel tired at all, but with sufficient supplies, they became more and more courageous.
Moreover, countless refugees followed them spontaneously along the way, just like infantry following behind a cavalry team, except that their combat effectiveness was a bit low.
Moreover, the name of "Gushan Yicong" became more and more famous. As Zhu Di continued to advance, it gradually spread throughout the Great Zhou Kingdom.
The Great Zhou Kingdom mobilized its army several times to encircle and suppress Zhu Di, but these waves of encirclement and suppression were directly defeated by Zhu Di. In addition, the refugees spontaneously helped Zhu Di, which made the official army of the Great Zhou Kingdom have an illusion that they were outsiders in this land.
So when Zhu Di defeated the official army of the Great Zhou Kingdom several times and stationed his horses outside the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, only 4,600 of the 5,000 cavalrymen were left, and there were also more than 300,000 refugees.
So the commander of the Great Zhou capital quietly surrendered the city that night. This made Zhu Di feel dazed, as if he had returned to that night... The commander of the Great Zhou capital before him was just like the Ming Dynasty's god of war, Li Jinglong...
