Princess Dongyang and Guangdetang are indeed working closely together, and all counties and counties in Mianzhou have Guangdetang's men and shopkeepers, in order to find any precious elixir, they can immediately fly to Jingshi to ensure that the medicinal effect will not be lost, and it will be refined into an elixir at the fastest speed.

But after Song Zheng took control of Mianzhou, it only took a month to drive all the people of Guangdetang out of Mianzhou.

Judging from Long Yiwei's intelligence on the monitoring of the world, after Guangdetang was driven out of Mianzhou, in the past year, the business has not been greatly affected, and they still have some inventory in the highest-end elixir.

However, Guangdetang had privately begun to look for the source of cherished elixir in other countries, but it ran into walls everywhere.

Mao Zhengdao speculated that Shang Jiuzuo was because he held a grudge, so he said that he would take revenge on Song Zheng, which seemed to be valid in theory, but Song Zheng refused to believe it.

Shang Jiuzuo is a businessman, even if he is really rich and rivals the country, the nature of a businessman in his bones will not change.

If war can bring great benefits, he will not hesitate to start a war. But the war with himself did not help Shang Jiuzuo, he wasted a precious elixir in vain, and Shang Jiuzuo would not do such a loss-making deal.

And according to the nature of a businessman, he tried hard to cherish the elixir but could not get it, at this time, he should kneel in front of Lord Song and beg him to continue to sell the elixir to Guangdetang.

Song Zheng thought about it, the real main messenger behind this matter is probably the Queen Mother.

Everyone thought that the Empress Dowager had issued a decree to allow Song Zheng to lead troops into Beijing, and they thought that the Empress Dowager had a supportive attitude towards Song Zheng at least for the time being, and wanted to use him to contain Huang Yuanhe.

But Song Zheng will not be so superficial. Ever since he received Yi's order, he has been thinking about the true purpose of the Queen Mother. It was not difficult to figure out, and he soon understood: the Queen Mother wanted to keep his army under the watchful eye of everyone, and the enemy in the open was certainly easier to deal with than in the shadows.

But fundamentally, the Queen Mother still hoped to be able to eliminate Song Zheng's fighting beast and repair horses, so there was a move in the Beijing camp to keep all Song Zheng's knights outside the Beijing Division.

"This old witch!" he cursed.

He thought about it deeply, and felt more and more that the Queen Mother was sinister and terrifying.

In the Beijing camp, the only thing that the Queen Mother can really control now is Suying. Most of the Beishan battalion and the tiger and wolf battalion will not listen to her, and the forbidden army, including the beast fighting cultivators, should also have a neutral attitude.

And Huang Yuanhe has already controlled the entire Hongwu Fortress Nine Towns, which are the most capable of fighting except for the fighting beasts and horses, and the Queen Mother now needs an army.

Taking advantage of the battle between Song Zheng and Jingying, and depleting each other's strength, the Empress Dowager could take advantage of the situation and gradually control the army of Jingying, so as to offset Huang Yuanhe's advantage to the greatest extent.

"It's just that none of them thought that a new army under this officer would have such a strong combat effectiveness, and she had to send the first battalion of the Fighting Beast Cultivator out of the air. Song Zheng muttered to himself, and at the same time scolded secretly: he exterminated the real elite of the two major Beijing camps, which was tantamount to doing the Queen Mother a great favor!

Although I have also gained a lot, I always feel uncomfortable.

"This damn old witch!" he couldn't help but curse again, opened the door and shouted, "Please come over with Your Excellency Hong Tiancheng and Sun Feifei." ”

......

The Queen Mother sat in front of a jade couch, and the Son of Heaven was still unconscious lying on the jade couch.

There are only two of them in the huge palace, and at this moment, there is a rare trace of tender love on the harsh and cold face of the queen mother.

There is no love between her and the first emperor, they just use each other. Although the first emperor gave her the position of empress, he also used various means to restrict her and restrict the Huang Tianli Holy Sect. Even decades after the death of the first emperor, she could only lie dormant in the harem.

However, the Huang Tianli Holy Sect has endured for tens of thousands of years, and what is the point of being dormant for decades? She quickly waited for this opportunity.

She and the first emperor only have this one child, her son is her own flesh and blood, and the monks of the Huang Tianli Holy Sect are cold by nature, but the relationship between mother and son is still difficult to part.

The Son of Heaven on the jade couch had deep sunken eyes, thin cheeks, and a pale complexion.

Whoever was in a coma was given a blood collection... fine, the condition will not be too good. She trapped Prince Qianhe with the technique of "Baqi Reverse Divine Needle", and used up half a liter of her son's dragon blood, otherwise a strong man in the town would not be suppressed so easily.

No one outside knew about this matter, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel distressed when she looked at her son.

She wiped her son's face with a wet towel, and then stood up, wearing a phoenix robe and skirt, and walked out of the palace like a queen of the clouds, and the only trace of tenderness on her face disappeared in an instant.

The good wife and mother of the "husband and child" in the palace is not the real her, and the queen mother's desire for power far exceeds the so-called nature.

"How are things going on in the Beishan camp and the tiger and wolf camp?"

Quickly a eunuch followed: "I have already sent someone to reprimand Ma Muye and Ren Changye, they have lost the elite of their headquarters, and they were wiped out by a group of recruits, this time see what face they still have to guard their camp, and no one else is allowed to interfere." ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "I teach the difficulty of rising, you have all seen it." We can't let go of any opportunity, this time we must be careful, and we must put the Jingying under the control of our sect!"

"Yes!"

She suddenly stopped: "How is Hou Tingguan, has the battle started?"

......

Song Zheng invited Hong Tiancheng and Sun Benfei to discuss it.

The riding beast of the first battalion of the fighting beast repair is the most powerful riding beast cultivated by the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty, the "Iron Lion Eagle". This kind of riding beast is half a wild lion and half an eagle, and it has to be fed ten catties of iron ore every day, and a thick layer of Baogang bone armor has been precipitated in the vital parts of the body, and the defense power is equally amazing without armor.

And because this kind of riding beast needs to fly in the air, it can't be put on armor to increase the weight.

A riding beast that can run wild like a wild lion on land and soar like an eagle in the sky is quite terrifying. The name of the first strong soldier of the Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty is terrifying.

Fang Vake is the loyal dog of the Son of Heaven, and the first battalion of the Fighting Beast Repair is the guarantee of the safety of the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, even in the most difficult moments of the northern battlefield, he did not send the first battalion of the Fighting Beast Cultivator from his side, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, of course, his life is much more important than the loss of the land.

In response to the Iron Lion Eagle, Song Zheng and Hong Tiancheng repeatedly discussed and determined the tactics, and then Hong Tiancheng asked: "My lord, if the first battalion is cowering in Houting Pass and defending the dangerous pass, what should we do?"

Song Zheng smiled, shook his head and said, "Fang Vake won't do this. ”

When the first battalion set off, the magnates of the entire Beijing division knew about it, and there were many people who were surprised, because the first battalion had always only obeyed the orders of the Son of Heaven, and there seemed to be no reason to fight Song Zheng to the death.

But since the first battalion has been dispatched, then the dust should be settled. No matter in a strong army, in the face of the iron lion eagle that can fly and run, there is only one end to it.

The Iron Lion Eagle is different from the Flying Sword Army, although they are both able to fly, but the Iron Lion Eagle is much more flexible, and what the Flying Sword Army needs is for the whole army to urge the sword to move and destroy the opponent with an indomitable momentum.

But once the magic weapon is impacted, it takes a lot of time to turn the direction around, and the flexibility is far less than that of the Iron Lion Eagle.

The Son of Heaven was obsessed with pleasure and wantonly withheld the army's salaries, but he had always been generous to the first battalion that protected his life, so the equipment of the Iron Lion Eagle Knights was the best in the entire Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty.

Once they are dispatched, it means the end of the war.

When the northern battlefield was stalemate, there were also some loyal and brave old ministers who wanted to say that His Majesty was driving the expedition in person - they did not value His Majesty's morale encouragement, but that His Majesty would definitely carry the first battalion of fighting beasts with him.

As soon as the first battalion appeared on the battlefield, the situation would be completely reversed. However, the Son of Heaven did not hesitate to reject these recitals, and sent eighty rods to all the old ministers who dared to admonish him to march in person.

The terrain of Houtingguan is dangerous, and the void here is complex, and the two wings are endless barren mountains, among which there are no boundaries. The Hongwu Heavenly Dynasty has worked hard for tens of thousands of years, and has set up various strange formations here, which cannot be flown from the sky, but can only knock from the ground.

Song Zheng stood at the foot of the Hou Pavilion Pass, and also sighed with emotion, this place is very similar to Huangtai Fort.

On the empty battlefield in front of Hou Ting Pass, the first battalion of the Fighting Beast Cultivators was already in formation. Four thousand knights lined up in a shock cone formation on the ground, while another three thousand knights flew in mid-air, waiting for an opportunity.

Fang Vake was wearing a purple-gold immortal armor, with four banners behind his back, the treasure light was shining with spiritual fire, and there were magic weapons shrouded outside his body, turning into three talisman halos with a diameter of ten zhang.

The Iron Lion Eagle under his crotch was extraordinarily strong, more than twice the size of the ordinary Iron Lion Eagle, and he was the king of riding beasts.

Above their heads, the huge military array condensed a thousand-foot Kunpeng Void Spirit, opening its mouth and spitting, the aura tumbling, constantly changing its form between the fish and the Peng.

Fifteen hundred Heavenly Silkworm Thunder Tiger came slowly from a distance, advancing calmly. The Eight Arrays were opened, and this time Hong Tiancheng chose the Jinpeng Military Array, a thousand-zhang golden-winged Dapeng Bird Void Spirit condensed in the sky, accompanied by golden auspicious clouds outside his body, crying brightly, and the sound shook the sky.

By this time, Song Zheng was actually heartbroken.

Along the way, he defeated more than a dozen Hongwu strong soldiers with the Silkworm Thunder Tiger Fighting Beast Cultivation Cavalry - these elite soldiers never appeared on the northern battlefield, but they were all placed on the position of their own internal fighting.

Every time he killed one, he understood that Hongwu's elite soldiers had been reduced by one. He even preferred that he would not join the Beijing Division, as long as these military leaders were willing to pull their elite soldiers onto the battlefield to fight a big battle with the ancient kingdom of Huaxu.

If there were more than ten elite soldiers, why did they fight so hard in the first war in the north?

And now, he was facing the first battalion of the Fighting Beast Cavalry, which was known as the strongest soldier in Hongwu, and his mind couldn't help but think of the excitement that Shi Yi had when he first saw the Dark Tiger Insect Beast Knight.

"This is the beast cultivator of my dynasty, the representative of the strongest military power of Hongwu. He said to himself.
