Zhang Zixing left Jinao Island and drove the dragon horse all the way, running for a while, although his face was a little heavy, his heart was much more relaxed.

Although he lost a good opportunity to perhaps have a mysterious spiritual qi, he had already figured out a lot of things, and a woman like Han Zhixian must not miss it. Instead, he said that he would go to Jinao Island again at the right time, confide in her secrets, and sincerely beg her, not only to let her be a double monk, but also to be his wife, a wife who will stay for life.

In a sense, what he has gained today will be far greater than what he has lost.

Similarly, on Bixiao's side, he also plans to go with the flow, if he really agrees, even if he takes Kong Xuan to kill the Three Immortals Island, he will grab a bride back.

In the following days, Zhang Zixing would write a letter every two days, asking Yuan Hong to take it to Jinao Island, the content of the letter was not enough for a third person, and every time Han Zhixian received a letter, he always inevitably used a windbag or a black sword, so as not to be teased or peeked at by the Taoist friends who surrounded him. Over time, even the bird boy who guarded Jinao Island and the "messenger" Yuan Hong became friends.

Zhang Zixing doesn't know if he has created a precedent for love letters, although there are many plagiarized works such as "If the two love is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight", but most of them are sincere words. Gradually, the replies brought by Hanzhi Xiantuo Yuan Hong also increased, and the relationship between the two quickly warmed up.

Just when Zhang Zixing saw that the time was ripe and was about to go to Jinao Island to "take down" this Taoist couple and lovers, he suddenly received an urgent military situation, and the army of Huang Feihu in the western expedition was defeated by the dog Rong, and most of the soldiers could not fight anymore and returned defeated. Huang Feihu and Jiang Wenhuan were both seriously injured, but fortunately they were cured by Hong Jindan, and among the generals under their command, Ji Kang, Chang Hao (snake essence), Yang Xian (sheep essence), and Zhu Zizhen (pig essence) four generals died, and 150,000 military horses were left.

Zhang Zixing was shocked, the lineup of Huang Feihu's army can be called luxurious, whether it is a conventional battle or an unconventional battle, the odds of victory are very high, why is there such a fiasco, and four generals have been folded! Could it be that some immortals are making trouble?

Yuan Hong had a deep friendship with the six monsters of Meishan, and when he heard that three of them had died, he was immediately furious and asked the Son of Heaven for his life, and wanted to go to the army to take revenge. Zhang Zixing knew that Yuan Hong was not handsome, and the current situation was unknown, so he asked him to calm down for a while, and after the remnants of the army returned, he would ask in detail and then pay attention to it.

Soon, the defeated army of the Western Expedition finally returned to Chaoge, and Huang Feihu led the two deputy marshals and generals to the nine halls to ask the Son of Heaven for their guilt. What surprised the ministers was that the Son of Heaven, who was gradually "brutal" and had not been in the court for a long time, did not severely punish the defeated generals in the court, although his face was unhappy, but he only said lightly: "The secretaries don't have to blame themselves, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers." ”

The generals were ashamed and grateful, and they couldn't bow down. When the Son of Heaven asked about the battle situation, Huang Feihu sighed and said it. Known as the "nation on horseback", the dog Rong is proficient in riding and archery, and is good at harassment and running tactics, and has always been the old enemy of the great merchants to the west. In the past few years, due to the strategic inventions such as stirrups and repeating crossbows of the Great Shang, they have gradually flowed into the dog Rong, further improving their already quite strong combat effectiveness.

But these are secondary, because Zhang Zixing had expected this, and this time he was specially equipped with more modern weapons, and even the war horses were improved breeds, which were not inferior to the horses of the Dog Rong clan. At the beginning of the match, the Shang army did have the upper hand, winning several games in a row and killing many enemies.

After the dog Rong king wolf also learned of the rout in the front, he immediately led the army to confront the merchant army. Wolf also has a lot of powerful characters under his command, all of whom have profound mana, and there are unfathomable masters behind them to help. Although there are many people who are proficient in Taoism on the side of the merchant army, they are not their opponents, and Ji Kang, Chang Hao, Yang Xian, and Zhu Zizhen are folded in their hands. And the wolf himself was taught by a stranger, proficient in poison arts, and actually secretly poisoned the merchant army, and openly cast large-scale poison on the battlefield, causing countless deaths and injuries to the big merchant soldiers, and the survivors were also poisoned, and their combat effectiveness was low.

After retreating to Xiqi, the surviving sergeants were unable to recover from their poisonous wounds and could no longer continue fighting, so they had to retreat to the court in defeat.

Daoist Poison Technique Zhang Zixing's brows furrowed tightly, the ministers had not seen the Son of Heaven so serious for a long time, and they did not dare to speak out, so as not to be disturbed. Zhang Zixing thought about it for a while, and finally made a decision, ordering the imperial doctor to go to the barracks to check the sergeant's poison quickly, and then ordered someone to send an order to Tongguan to transfer Yu Hualong's father and son to the court to listen to the order.

At this time, the official of the military department stepped forward and said: "The general of Tongguan is Chen Tong, and Yu Hualong is currently in the alternate position, and he has been being sent by Chaoge. ”

Zhang Zixing's face flushed, and then he remembered that Yu Hualong was appointed as the general of Tong Pass after Huang Feihu reversed the five levels and killed Chen Tong, and immediately announced that Yu Hualong would come to the Nine Great Halls to see him. The courtiers did not pay attention to this erroneous episode, and it seemed to them that it was remarkable that the Son of Heaven could remember the name of an alternate commander-in-chief, and what they paid attention to was the action of the Son of Heaven in dispatching his troops, and it seemed that he was about to use troops against the dogs again.

Soon, Yu Hualong went to the palace and knocked on the Son of Heaven.

Zhang Zixing asked: "Yu Qing, I heard that you have five sons, all of whom are extraordinary, are you willing to serve the country?"

Yu Hualong was surprised by the information of the Son of Heaven, but he did not dare to slack off: "How can a dog be a holy honor!" Your Majesty Mingjian, there will be five sons in the end, Yu Da, Yu Zhao, Yu Guang, Yu Xian, and Yu De, among whom Yu De is a monk overseas and learns art with his teacher. Although the father and son of the last general have ordinary skills, they are loyal to the great merchants, and they are willing to repay His Majesty with all their blood. ”

Zhang Zixing heard that Yu De was not there, showed regret, and said: "Yu Qing is loyal and courageous, and the widow is very happy. If the widow wants to reuse it for your father and son, then Yu De must have the ability to study art overseas, can he be recalled and serve the country together?"

Although Yu Hualong is an alternate commander-in-chief, he has never been vacant, and now he listened to the words of the Son of Heaven, and immediately rejoiced, and said: "Your Majesty is deeply gracious, and the last general will not forget! After the last general returns, he will be summoned to serve His Majesty immediately!"

Zhang Zixing heard that Yu De could come back, and said happily: "With Yu Qing's father and son, this expedition to the west is worry-free!"

People who are not familiar with the original book of "Romance of the Gods" may not know the name "Yu De", in fact, this person's individual mana is ordinary, and even the third-generation disciples of the Interpretation Sect are no match, but there is a skill, even Lu Yue, who Zhang Zixing deliberately befriended some time ago, has to bow down, that is, the technique of five buckets of poisonous pox. In the plot of the original work, Lu Yue and his disciples once sneaked into Xiqi with a plague pill and poisoned the water everywhere, causing disaster to Xiqi. In the battle of Tongguan, Yu De's methods were even more ruthless, the poisonous pox technique could be spread by the wind, and the poisoned people grew particles all over their bodies, and they could not move, and overnight, the Zhou army of 600,000 horses, including many people from the sect, were poisoned, and the fireworks were not born. If it weren't for Yang Jian to go to the Huoyun Cave again, I was afraid that it would be difficult to be lucky.

From this point of view, Yu De and Lu Yue can be regarded as experts in the two major biological and chemical weapons in "Fengshen".

Of course, Yu De's own cultivation cannot be compared with Lu Yue, which also makes his current fame pitiful. But "killers are often nameless", because famous people will always be eye-catching and defensive everywhere, so to some extent, the unknown Yu De is more terrifying than the famous Lu Yue.

Originally, there was an unwritten rule in the cultivation world, that is, Dao art could not be applied to combat mortals on a large scale, and generally speaking, few people would do this, even if they were not reprimanded and punished by their fellow practitioners, the karma in it was beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

In the War of the Gods, there were only a few battles in which the scale spell was used to kill and injure the sergeant. Jiang Ziya's freezing of Xiqi Mountain with the water of the North Sea is an example, and the four generals of the Demon Family, Yuyi Immortal, Lu Yue, Yu De, and Luo Xuan all have such deeds. Among them, Lu Yue, Yu De, and Luo Xuan barely succeeded, but in the end they were resolved, and only Xiaoqiang Jiang Ziya really succeeded, Rao was covered by a saint, and he didn't dare to mess around, only three main generals were arrested, and the remaining 50,000 horses only froze to death.

Now the wolf also invaded the big merchants first, burned and looted all the way, and even did the evil act of slaughtering the city, and used the left poison technique to poison tens of thousands of merchant troops, which can be described as extremely ferocious, and the only way to deal with such an aggressor is to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.

Zhang Zixing immediately announced in the court: The Xidi Dog Rong clan has repeatedly violated the boundaries of the Great Shang, slaughtered the people of the Great Shang, and used the Left Demon Technique to disobey the conquest of the heavenly soldiers, which can be described as a great crime.

As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers reacted very fiercely, and many people believed that the Son of Heaven could take the opportunity of the personal conquest to sweep away the decadent wind of the past, revitalize the dynasty, and reproduce the achievements of the Eastern Expedition to pacify the western region. But there are also many courtiers who think that the dog Rong is too fierce, and there is a left way poison technique, although the Son of Heaven is brave, but after all, he has been in the battle formation for a long time, and he is only afraid of danger if he rashly recruits in person.

Fei Zhong was unexpectedly silent, he knew that once the Son of Heaven decided on a major matter, he would not listen to the opposition of these ministers, and with the wisdom and strategy of the Son of Heaven, he would never fight a battle that he was not sure of.

Sure enough, I listened to Zhang Zixing's final word, and the matter of the personal conquest had been decided, and there was no need to say more. Immediately there was a series of troop dispatches, the four generals of the demon family in Jiamengguan, Zhang Kui and his wife in Jizhou, Chen Qi and others in Qinglongguan were impressively listed, and even the father and son of the doctor Fei Lian were also on the list, and the evil came to be the leader of the forbidden army, and he was the guardian of the Son of Heaven with the army, and his father Fei Lian was also awarded the post of military aircraft counselor. Fei Lian didn't expect the Son of Heaven to take him to the battlefield, so he couldn't refuse, so he had to secretly complain.

After Zhang Zixing retreated from the court, he summoned the national teacher Shen Gongbao with Xinxiang to talk to him about the dog Rong poison technique and the imperial driver's personal conquest, and asked him to go to Jiulong Island Famous Mountain to ask Lu Yue for help. Shen Gongbao understood the importance of this matter, and immediately got up, rode the black tiger, and went to the Famous Mountain.

- The plague god and the pox god go out together, see how the wolf will deal with it first!

In order to ensure the victory of this western expedition, Kong Xuan must bring it. I don't know why, he always has an ominous premonition, considering that someone in the court must take care of it, and Ying Long and Nulu should not be exposed too much, so he still let these two stay in Chaoge, just in case.

In order to prevent accidents from happening, he wants to take away the suspicious Fei Lian, although there is Zhu Qian, the "inner response" by Fei Lian's side, but he is also afraid of uncontrollable changes;

The poison in the soldiers of those western expeditions was very strange, and even the imperial doctors, whose medical level had greatly improved, could only temporarily suppress the poisonous surname, and could not eradicate it. When Zhang Zixing was about to use his superbrain to analyze the toxin composition, Yu Hualong came to report that Yu De had returned from overseas in accordance with the order.

Zhang Zixing hurriedly ordered Yu De to come and see if there was a way for those poisoned sergeants. Yu De really didn't disappoint Zhang Zixing, and it didn't take long to identify the poison in it, and it only took one day to prepare the antidote. The antidote was melted in water, and after the sergeant drank it, the toxins were gradually cleared and the body was rejuvenated, but it would take a long time to recuperate before it could fully recover its combat effectiveness.

Zhang Zixing was overjoyed, and immediately named Yu Hualong as General Fenwei, and Yu De and his four elder brothers as General Hulie, and came to march west with the holy driver. Although Yu De is a cultivator, but since he was a child, he has been influenced by his father, and he is very loyal to the monarch, and when the Son of Heaven asked him if he was worried about the future on the battlefield, he would use the technique of five buckets of poisonous pox to dry the heavens, Yu De shook his head without hesitation, and said that he was willing to listen to all the dispatches of the Son of Heaven, and Zhang Zixing was very satisfied.

At this time, there was also good news from Shen Gongbao's side, because Lu Yue was using thaumaturgy to strengthen Zheng Lun's foundation, so neither of them could withdraw, but Lu Yue remembered the original favor of the Son of Heaven, and this time he sent Zhou Xin, Li Qi, and Yang Wenhui three disciples to help, and also carried a chemical agent surnamed mass destruction - Plague Pill.

After the preparations were complete, Zhang Zixing calculated that the soldiers and horses were fully deployed, and immediately led an army of 400,000 to the west to personally conquer the dogs. Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to tell Han Zhixian and Bixiao the news of the long journey.

According to the will of the Son of Heaven, during the imperial expedition, the court song was replaced by the eldest prince as the supervisor of the country, and Ya Bigan and Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng of the Zhenguo, assisted him left and right.

After explaining the affairs of the court, Zhang Zixing led the army and marched towards the west in a mighty way, starting his second imperial expedition.

After Zhang Zixing's army left, a red shadow appeared in the alley behind the crowd of onlookers, this woman had a wonderful figure, but her face was covered with a light veil.

She looked at the palace from afar, and her beautiful eyes gleamed with hatred.
