Journey to the West: From the Primordial Era

Chapter 128 Hongjun and Qinhua compete in retreat

Beyond the ancient sky, there is the Zixiao Palace.

While Hongjun was practicing, he couldn't help but use his spiritual sense to look at Qin Hua.

He didn't know when it started, but he would go to see Qin Hua when he had nothing to do. Qin Hua's special dojo had always been a question mark in his mind. As the ancestor of Taoism, how could he be so confused and unknown?

There are very few things left, and one can even say that there is only Qin Hua.

He even had a firm grasp on the secrets of heaven.

"what?"

Hongjun was moved. He stood up suddenly, frowning.

He was unable to spy on the interior of Qin Hua's dojo. The powerful chaotic energy blocked his divine consciousness.

How can this be!

His cultivation was at a level that all other Heavenly Dao Saints combined could not match, so how could he be destroyed by Qin Hua's Dao field?

"What's going on with this guy's dojo?" Hongjun muttered to himself.

He really wanted to go to Taiqing Palace to find Qin Hua, but this would be beneath his dignity.

He suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Could it be that this guy was not killed, but just obtained powerful resources and has been meditating?

He understands this mentality too well.

That was how he obtained the Jade Disc of Creation that year.

He has been in seclusion and contemplating, even when the geniuses such as Zulong, Yuanfeng, Shi Qilin, and Luohou rose up,

He remained in seclusion patiently. He even forgot how long he had been in seclusion.

"Humph!"

Hongjun snorted coldly, then sat down and continued to practice.

He is preparing to merge with the Dao, but he cannot interfere in the affairs of the prehistoric world. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao will reject him. After he becomes the master of the prehistoric world, it will not be too late to spy on the secrets of Taiqing Palace.

In order to cater to the Way of Heaven, he eliminated all his karma, accumulated great merits, and did not participate in the cause and effect of the ancient times. He put too much thought into this, and he could not let it be ruined for Qin Hua.

He started to get serious.

I absolutely cannot lose to Qin Hua, even in seclusion!

......

The ancient world, the land of China, Qingzhou of the Shang Dynasty.

Linzi.

In Linzi, there is a gurgling stream in the mansion. The fresh water brought in from outside surrounds the rockery and finally flows into a lake at the back, creating ripples on the water surface.

The breeze blows, the lotus leaves dance, and the lotus flowers bloom.

A million miles away, the Linzi troops arrived in Mengzhou and the war was about to break out. Qin Hua controlled Xuankong and took his daughter to leisurely enjoy the scenery in the courtyard.

"According to the time, Li Jing should have arrived in Mengzhou... Jiang Huanchu, Lord Dongbo, how will you react?"

Qin Hua's original body was in seclusion, and his two divine fetus clones both played important roles in the prehistoric world. Qin Hua thought indifferently in his heart, and threw a little food in his hand casually, and some carp in the lake immediately swarmed in. Fighting back and forth.

Before he breaks through to become a Hongmeng Saint, Qin Hua will definitely not come out in person, otherwise he will be suppressed by various saints. It would be a good idea for him to hide at the bottom of the Honghuang Sea, control Xuankong to occupy the entire east of the Shang Dynasty, and find a way to get Zhang Jun to join the Western Religion.

Qin Hua had tasks for both of his divine clones. As for his sons and daughters, Qin Hua did not take the resources of Taiqing Palace for them to use. After all, the time had not come yet.

His plan was that after the Three Sisters came out of retreat, they would surely be in trouble, so he would just let them come here to teach his daughter, and at the same time bring the countless treasures from the Taiqing Palace to the Xuan Clan.

The character Xuan Kong can expand the territory of the human race and take care of the human race, while Zhang Jun joins the Western religion to prepare for the future Journey to the West.

Qin Hua looked at the fish and thought about his two divine clones, Xuankong and Zhang Jun.

......

Donglu Royal City.

boom!

The exquisite wine jar was smashed to the ground. The bronze wine jar could not withstand such a great force and almost turned into a copper cake when it fell to the ground.

"Damn you little bastard, you're so brave, you actually dared to send out troops!"

In the city of Donglu King, there are palaces one after another, and the palaces are full of exquisite decorations, railings carved from thousand-year-old white jade, and rivers running through the palaces.

There are also numerous exotic flowers of various shapes and sizes, crystal clear glazed tiles... The materials of any palace can be converted into armor and weapons to equip 200,000 people.

Especially the main hall.

Not only is ambergris burning in the hall to calm people's minds, but each of the main beams is also carved with layers of patterns. These patterns combined with the entire city form an extremely strong defensive formation.

When the defense formation is not activated, the pillars instinctively gather a large amount of spiritual energy, filling the entire hall, allowing practicing in the hall to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

At this moment, even ambergris, which can calm people's minds, could not calm Jiang Huanchu's mood.

He threw away the wine bottle in his hand and stood up suddenly.

He walked a few steps to the left and right at the top of the hall, then stopped suddenly. He looked towards his trusted subordinates on both sides of the hall, his eyes filled with anger.

"What do you think Dong Lu should do now?"

Even though Jiang Huanchu was furious at the news, he still managed to control his emotions and asked in a cold voice.

On the left and right sides of the hall stood the core ministers of the Dong Lu Jiang family.

Dong Lu has a long heritage and inherits the bloodline of Emperor Yan and Shennong. It is proud of being the orthodox ancient emperor and looks down on other aristocratic bloodlines.

With this mentality, those who can become the core of Dong Lu are all members of the Jiang family, without a single outsider.

Jiang Hongying, who was standing in the front row of the generals, stepped forward and said with a bow, "My Lord, the kid from Qingzhou dared to provoke the tiger. He overestimated his own abilities. I beg you to lead the army to Mengzhou to meet the enemy. I will let that kid know how powerful we are in Donglu!"

With Jiang Hongying speaking first, others also gained the courage to express their opinions.

"Master, that kid spread the news that Master sent someone to assassinate him. I wonder if it's true? If it's true... even if the other party has a legitimate reason, it will be troublesome for us to deal with him!"

One of the Jiang clan members stepped forward and said.

As soon as he said this, the others stopped talking, with different expressions on their faces, and quietly looked at Jiang Huanchu.

I have to say, sending assassins to kill other princes' sons is a very bad reputation!

Although Qingzhou and Donglu have some conflicts, the other party, as the Marquis of Jiuzhou, has a status only slightly lower than that of the Marquis of Dongbo, and the Xuan clan also has backers. Xuankong's strength is even that of a Daluo Jinxian. In terms of personal strength alone, he is a top figure in the entire Shang Dynasty. Except that his foundation is not as strong as that of the Marquis of Dongbo, in other aspects, the Xuan clan is very strong.

It was normal for nobles to fight against each other and seize cities and territories.

But using assassination as a means to kill another upper nobleman was a bit of a violation of the rules. Especially for the Duke of Dongbo, as the leader of the two hundred princes in the East, he actually assassinated the princes who were nominally under his supervision, which would make the other princes in the East feel uneasy.

If you can assassinate the Marquis of Qingzhou, you can assassinate all these princes.

After this incident spread, the reputation of Duke Dongbo plummeted among the two hundred princes in the east. Even many vassal states that were dependent on Dong Lu were secretly dissatisfied.

All the Jiang clan members could see this situation, but no one dared to say it in front of Jiang Huanchu.

"Jiang Ming, are you questioning my uncle? Get out of here!"

Jiang Hongying's face changed and she immediately scolded him harshly.

Jiang Ming, who was speaking, was a rising star in the Jiang family. He had just recently stepped into the core of the Jiang family. He was relatively young, so he had the aura of a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger.

After being scolded by Jiang Hongying, his face flushed. However, after seeing the sharp look of Jiang Huanchu above him, he immediately understood that Jiang Hongying seemed to be scolding, but in fact she was protecting him.

Jiang Huanchu's face changed twice, and he was silent for a moment, then he said: "Now that it has been done, I don't expect to hide it from others! Why, my son died inexplicably, but the child of the Xuan Clan Xuanzong in Qingzhou is still alive and kicking!"

"I just want to kill that kid and bring ruin to Qingzhou!"

Hearing Jiang Huanchu admit it himself, everyone present was shocked.

These core officials of Dong Lu fell silent, obviously expressing their dissatisfaction with Jiang Huanchu's decision.

Seeing this, Jiang Hongying said, "Everyone, since the Xuan Clan entered the Shang Dynasty and later occupied Qingzhou and managed Qingzhou, the power of Qingzhou has continued to grow and has threatened the status of our Donglu. The Lord took action against Qingzhou for the sake of Donglu. Otherwise, the Lord and the Marquis of Qingzhou have no grudges, so why would he take action against Xuanzong? We also know that Xuanzong is the son of Xuankong, the patriarch of the Xuan Clan."

"Now that the matter has been done, let's not dwell on the past. Let's talk about how we should deal with that kid's troops now."

Jiang Ming sighed secretly in his heart. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with his uncle's previous actions, Jiang Hongying was right. Things had already been done and it was too late to complain now.

What's more, how could Duke Dongbo allow the Jiang family's descendants to question his actions?

"My Lord, General, in my opinion, Qingzhou has no intention of starting a large-scale war with us. If it had this intention, Qingzhou would not have sent only 300,000 Linzi troops, but would have sent out all the troops from Qingzhou and Linzi!"

"Mengzhou is our newly occupied territory in Donglu, and Linzi is also the newly expanded territory of Qingzhou. The small-scale conquest between Mengzhou and Linzi, whether it is a victory or a defeat, will not affect the fundamentals of both sides!"

"General Hongying can lead a hundred thousand troops to support us. If we send too many troops, the princes of the eastern towns and His Majesty Emperor Yi of Chaoge will be dissatisfied with us in Donglu..."

What Jiang Ming said was very clear. Neither Donglu nor Qingzhou could fight with all their might. Once a real fight broke out, Chaoge would definitely send people to intervene. Under the suppression of the Great Shang Dynasty, both sides would have to endure it even if they were furious.

Crown Prince Di Xin was also eyeing the eastern princes covetously. If Marquis Dongbo and Qingzhou went to war to the death, the Jiang family would be in even greater danger.

Instead of waiting for Chaoge to send people to intervene, Qingzhou and Donglu simply did not launch a large-scale war, but instead engaged in a small-scale confrontation.

Anyway, Dong Lu has abundant resources and a large population, so it has enough capital to compete with Qingzhou!

Through such small-scale confrontations, the Xuan Clan's Qingzhou and Linzi's foundation can be continuously consumed, affecting the other side's development. This is the best way to restrict Qingzhou.

As long as the Qingzhou Army can be exhausted, it will definitely retreat to the Eastern Continent.

Assassination is such a low-level method!
