Astral Apostle

   Chapter 239 Expedition

   After Zhou Jing faced the saint, Shi Shiran returned to the Taoist temple.

   On the second day, a chamberlain brought a team of porters to the door, brought boxes of things, and read the imperial edict.

"The official family has a decree, and the edict said that Shenxiao Fengling would be named 'Golden Elixir Immortal Master', promoted to the junior supervisor of the Sitian Supervisor, and given ten sets of gold-patterned Taoist robes, ten silver silk whisks, thirty official Indian suffixes, and brocade. Ninety horses, fifty jars of wine, specially ordered the real person to go out to Huyang with the troops and horses of Tianwangzhai in the spring of next year, and subdue the bandit leader Chen Feng!"

   "The poor lead the way."

   Zhou Jing was not surprised. After receiving the decree, he asked his disciples to carry the imperial gift into the Taoist temple.

   Having both himself and his ministers, the emperor finally agreed to let him go on an expedition, and gave many rewards to show his holy family.

  The news flow in the capital has been extremely fast, but in just half a day, most of the people in the capital knew about this, and they were in an uproar and excited.

  The world-famous Yufeng Zhenren was going to compete with the devil Chen Feng, which aroused the interest of many people, and there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys, arguing endlessly about the strength and weakness of the two.

   One can call the wind and call the rain, and the other has the ability to defeat thousands of troops. Everyone is curious how the two will finally be divided.

   The next day, Lu Longchuan and the others came to visit Zhou Jing again, and they bowed down as soon as they met.

   "The real person cares about the people of Limin, and is willing to go out to help, I will be grateful for the five!"

   "It's not necessary, I'll wait for the three chapters first."

   Zhou Jing waved his whisk.

  Lu Longchuan and the others stood up straight with a straight face: "The real person please speak."

Zhou Jing said slowly: "First, Pindao is a person outside the party, and there is no harm in killing things, and it will damage Daoxing. In order to not increase the murder, I will only deal with Chen Feng, and I will not shoot before the battle. help."

Lu Longchuan hesitated for a moment, and said, "What is the use of a bull's knife to kill chickens, since the army does not need to work hard, it's just a war, we need the method of a real person to transport the envoy and excite the wind, and take advantage of the time for the army. I don't know this. …”

   "As long as it doesn't hurt people, everything else can be discussed again, and we will act according to the circumstances." Zhou Jing did not immediately refuse.

   "Then it depends on the real person." Lu Longchuan replied quickly.

   Sun Rong on the side heard the words and shook his head secretly.

  According to his assumption, in the water battle, if this Master Yufeng can trigger the miracle of the blue dragon rushing into the sky in Ningtianfu as rumored, he will be better than thousands of troops.

  Unfortunately, this person is unwilling to kill more lives, so this plan can't be used.

   However, as long as someone can restrain Chen Feng, then this wave of help will not be a loss. Although the Dragon King Village is powerful, Chen Fengzhi's prestige accounts for most of it. If the bandit leader can be defeated, the morale of the Dragon King Village will collapse, and this battle will have a chance of winning.

Zhou Jing continued: "Secondly, Pindao is not good at the art of warfare, and will not get involved in your marching formations, but since Pindao is helping boxing, he doesn't want to be kept in the dark about the movement of the army, so he has the cheek to ask for a post in the army. , to listen to the military debate."

  Lu Longchuan immediately agreed: "This is not a problem, I will not avoid real people when we discuss military affairs."

   As long as you don’t ask for commanding authority, it’s not a big problem to have one more person to sit in, let alone a **** teammate who is the least likely to leak information.

   "This last thing, Pindao wants to bring some disciples to serve as personal entourages, so that it will be more convenient to live while on the march."

   "Haha, these three things are simple, all depend on real people."

  Lu Longchuan was relieved and laughed cheerfully.

   He was worried about the harsh conditions of the real person, but he didn't expect it to be easy to do.

   finalized the opinion, several people chatted very happily, chatted for an hour, Lu Longchuan and other talents left.

   Zhou Jing sent a few people out of the room, then returned to the room, screened the disciples, and silently took out two secret books from the secret compartment.

  The yellowed covers of the two books have the titles of the books, one is "Secrets of the Valley of the Valley" and the other is "Secrets of Yin-Yang Mixed Fetus", which is the practice method left by Mei Zhanqing at the beginning, good at fighting ghosts and double cultivation.

   Zhou Jing has not practiced all the time, worried that he will be infected with the yin and evil spirits, and teach the practitioners to see it.

   But as he gradually mastered Qingliang Mountain's techniques, he also gained a new understanding of these two cheats, and found that these two cheats can be good or evil.

   And if you follow the steps step by step, you can also practice normal techniques, but the power will be much less, and your body will only be contaminated with some yin qi, but there is no evil qi, and it will not be regarded as an evil way.

"I went on an expedition with the army, and it's not easy to convey information. Although I can fly by myself, I may be discovered by frequent trips to and from the military camp. Sending letters with the technique of subjugating ghosts may come in handy... A place to kill on the battlefield. , the soul of the dead is worthless, if you want to raise ghosts, you don't have to harm people.

  Before starting next spring, just practice these two cheats. "

   Zhou Jing nodded secretly.

  …

   On the other side, in the Sitian prison.

   Supervisor Zheng Ning Zhongjun and Young Supervisor Yin Nan sat opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting. Both of them are the core executives of Yuding Sect.

   "When I went to court today, the ministers mentioned yesterday's events again. The sage finally agreed to let Lingfengzi go on an expedition to suppress the bandits. Maybe he also believed that he had extraordinary powers and would not go wrong."

  Ning Zhongjun took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Yin Nan hesitantly said: "Headmaster, this Lingfengzi is deeply favored by the saints. I will use this topic to play and send him to the front line, but I also praised his reputation. If he can come back, his status in the eyes of the saints will be even greater. A higher level. He can be promoted to junior prison now, and he may threaten your position as a prisoner in the future."

  Ning Zhongjun had a calm face and said casually: "The Holy Master promoted him as a junior prisoner, and he is also beating me. But it doesn't matter, although I hold his name, as long as he is not allowed to come back alive, everything is empty."

   "Headmaster means..."

   "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it only takes a little mistake to teach that Lingfengzi to fold in Huyang. It is not an easy task? As long as this person is removed, no one will compete with us in metaphysics for the holy family."

  Ning Zhongjun fiddled with the teacup, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

  Yin Nan looked around, lowered his voice and asked, "Does the headmaster have a plan?"

   "Most of the Wangzhai in that day are greedy bandits. As long as you give us some money and wealth, there will always be someone willing to do things for us."

  Ning Zhongjun's eyes moved slightly, he paused, then lowered his voice and continued:

   "Or, let me teach the disciples who are hidden in the people, go to contact Chen Feng, and help him kill Lingfengzi before the battle... But collaborating with the enemy is a big sin, remember that the disciples sent should not reveal their identities and leak the news."

   "I can reflect on myself." Yin Nan's face turned solemn.

Ning Zhongjun smiled, shook his head and said, "Of course, this is just a back-up method, that Lingfengzi's trip is already very bad, and I don't necessarily need to do it again... I heard from the Nanhua faction that Chen Feng was full of evil spirits. Just like the essence, it can break the magic, although Lingfengzi's wind control technique is wonderful, but if he encounters a man like Chen Feng, he will be directly torn apart."

   "That's right." Yin Nan's expression also relaxed.

  …

  Winter goes away and spring comes, everything recovers.

  The world takes off its silver clothes and puts on new green.

   After a winter rest, the soldiers and horses of Tianwangzhai have recovered enough energy. The army marched from north to south, passing through the prefectures and counties in a mighty way, and the movement was known to the world, and went straight to Huyang to suppress the bandits.

The    army was not close to the capital, so Lu Longchuan sent several leaders to pick up the real Yufeng and join the army halfway.

  After a winter of fermentation, the whole capital knew about this. On the day Yufeng Zhenren departed, the people in Beijing crowded around and watched, and the movement was lively.

   However, Zhou Jing was sitting in the carriage, and the people onlookers could not see his figure, which was a pity.

   Soon, the team passed through the crowded streets, went out of the city gate, and hurried on the road under the banner of Tianwangzhai.

   The road was smooth and there were no twists and turns. The team rushed for many days and successfully caught up with the army.

On the    plain, the military tents are endless, as far as the line of sight, and the scale is extremely large. It is said that there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

   Zhou Jing got off the carriage, walked through the camp, and was taken to the camp of the Central Army. At a glance, he saw Lu Longchuan and others in armor and helmet.

   "Haha, you can count on the real person, we have been waiting for a long time."

  Lu Longchuan laughed and opened his mouth to greet him with all the leaders.

   "There was a delay on the way."

   Zhou Jing bowed and looked around the people in Tianwangzhai.

  These leaders have different expressions, some are enthusiastic, some are curious, some are scrutinizing, some are disapproving, and so on.

   Zhou Jing secretly wrote it down, knowing what he knew.

   "This battle depends on real people." Lu Longchuan clasped his fists.

   "It's easy to say, when the realm of Huyang is reached, Pindao will take action."

   Zhou Jing flicked his whisk and smiled slightly.

   That night, the leaders of Tianwangzhai took care of Zhou Jing, but the conditions in the army were difficult, and there were no luxurious banquets with big fish and big meat.

   All kinds of daily life affairs have been arranged properly. Zhou Jing has been on his way with the army since then. On weekdays, except for listening to military discussions, he has nothing else to do, and he is very leisurely.

  Tianwangzhai has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the court has dispatched troops. The prefectures along the way have opened doors for convenience, and the marching speed is not slow.

The    army marched for many days, trekking mountains and rivers all the way, and finally stepped into the boundary of Huyang.

   And the news that the Tianwangzhai army went south to suppress the bandits naturally could not be concealed, and it had already spread to the world.

   Everyone in Huyang knew that Longwangzhai also got the news early.
