Main Text Chapter 474 Do You Still Recognize It?
Where there is lots of water, there will be lots of rain!
The sky full of haze enveloped most of Zhengui Hall, and it was drizzling!
The dark clouds are endless as far as the eye can see. I don’t know when the sky will clear up, and I can’t wait until it clears up. Shuiyun Mansion, Qianze Mansion, and Yunsang Mansion, the three mansions have 300 cave mansions under their jurisdiction, with a total of more than 3,000 troops. Almost all of them came out and gathered towards Pingyang Mansion from three directions in the rain.
On Hongdong Mountain in Shuiyun Prefecture, the owner of the mountain, Cheng Hailiang, was running on the muddy road in the rain, running back and forth beside the advancing team.
"Formation! Formation! Keep formation!" Cheng Hailiang pointed at the slightly chaotic part of the team with his long knife and roared.
He ran to the rear of the team and shouted: "Tidy! Tidy! Liu Gui! Can you people from Huangmen Cave know how to walk? You can't even walk well. What do I want you to do as the master of the cave? If you don't want to do it, do it as soon as possible." Say, there are many people who want to do it!”
Liu Gui, who was named, immediately turned around and shouted angrily, "Cheer up, you bitch, why are you looking around so hard? If you don't leave, you will cry when the pay is paid at the end of the year!"
"What the hell are you doing here on a rainy day?" A monk in the team couldn't help but mutter and complain.
Cheng Hailiang, who had sharp ears, suddenly rode back, pointed his long sword this way and said sternly: "Who is talking? No whispering or whispering during the march! I warn you, this time the governor will personally inspect the march of the troops. ! Who is the Palace Master? He is a person who was killed in the Blood Sea of the Xingxuhai Kan Rebellion. He is an expert in this field. You are so sparse that you can’t catch the Palace Master’s eyes this time! Let me, Hong Dongshan, be embarrassed in front of the palace master and ruin someone Cheng’s job. I’ll ruin his job first, so no one will feel better!”
This scene not only happened in Hongdong Mountain, but also in the entire Shuiyun Prefecture. Palace Master Miao Yi said. One of the ten mountain masters needs to be replaced. This time may be a test. No mountain master dares to be careless, so he is working hard!
Similar situations did not only occur in Shuiyun Mansion, but also in Qianze Mansion and Yunsang Mansion.
At the headquarters of Shuiyun Mansion, Qian'er and Xue'er were wearing heavy armor and each rode a 'Wulinhuan'. Following Miao Yi, three walking troops, six deacons and dozens of cavalry from the headquarters followed, galloping towards the stone bridge on the lake in the rumbling rain.
Yan Xiu, who was left behind to take charge, bid farewell to each other outside the meeting hall.
The men and horses had just run ashore. Then I saw a rider galloping up from one side. It was none other than Wen Fang, who was coming in the rain.
"Brother!" Wenfang stopped his horse urgently and shouted, with a look of joy on his face.
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi just nodded. Then he led his men and horses and flew past her. Didn't stop for a moment.
Wen Fang, who was all wet, stiffened her smile, pursed her lips, and felt aggrieved in her eyes. She immediately gave herself an encouraging smile and ran towards the stone bridge...
Miao Yi, who was leading the team at lightning speed and the muddy road was constantly muddy, was shocked when he led his people in the rain to the place where people gathered in Shuiyun Mansion!
Ten mountain masters came to greet him, stopped in front of Miao Yi, and all jumped off their mounts to salute. "See the Palace Master!"
Miao Yi forgot to reply for a moment and stared at the flat ground between the two mountains. There, thousands of people and horses lined up neatly and silently in the wind and rain. It was really a line when viewed horizontally and vertically. The solemnity and orderliness of the military appearance were something Miao Yi had never heard of or seen before. The powerful visual impact shocked him on the spot.
Not to mention him, even Qian'er, Xue'er and Chen Fei behind were stunned.
Miao Yi subconsciously looked back at the troops from the Shuiyun Mansion headquarters he had brought with him to make a judgment. They were so sparse, which made Miao Yi secretly feel ashamed.
"You're all lucky!" Miao Yi stretched out his hand to help, and then he rode his horse alone and ran towards the group of people.
The ten mountain masters immediately followed him. Miao Yi circled the neatly arranged thousands of men and horses several times, and found that despite the order and prohibition, the thousands of men and horses actually ignored the existence of his palace master. Every one of them looked at them without squinting, and could almost be described as motionless.
There was a look of surprise in Miao Yi's eyes that could not be concealed, and he couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Are these people from Shuiyun Mansion?"
"Exactly!" The ten palace masters said in unison: "Always obey the palace master's instructions!"
"Okay, okay..." Miao Yi nodded and said "ok" several times, and sincerely praised: "It seems that I have underestimated you!"
These words were such a compliment that the ten mountain masters behind him were filled with joy. They all raised their hands and replied: "The master of the palace is so complimentary. This is a matter of humble rank!"
Miao Yi was in great spirits. Before, he was a little worried that these people would not be able to take action, and he was planning to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. Now it seems that these people are not just freeloaders, but they are just too worried.
After praising him for a while, Miao Yi turned around and explained for a while, then he turned around and ordered a man named Mutai Lai to walk, led dozens of people from Shuiyun Mansion, and rode straight to Pingyang Mansion with him.
Qian'er, Xue'er, Chen Fei and others all stayed here to wait for their orders. Miao Yi was really a little worried about the people here, leaving behind his close confidants to supervise the army.
But God was really unlucky. The rain did not stop, but became heavier and heavier. Miao Yi, Zhao Fei, and Sikong Wuwei met at the entrance of Pingyang Fushan. There were hundreds of people brought by the three parties together.
At this time, both Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei rode on the spiritual beasts brought from Xingxiu Sea, which were all captured and presented by Tan Lao at that time, including an 'iron-headed leopard' and a 'bloodthirsty six-eyed fox', both of which were strong. Like a cow, it has sharp tusks and looks fierce.
"What a damn weather!" Sikong Wuwei raised his head and cursed God.
"Without further ado, let's do it!" Zhao Fei said.
The people they brought with them were terrified. Aren't they here for a banquet? What does it mean to take action?
Miao Yi and Sikong Wuwei nodded, and the three of them wrote down the decree, put it into the foot tube of the eagle brought with them, and released the eagle into the air and flapped its wings away.
The three of them then handed the jade tablets they had prepared in advance to the people below.
"The defense here is useless, don't be afraid, you go to the designated location to surround and ambush, and when you hear a sound in Pingyang Mansion, immediately start to kill!"
Miao Yi had just finished his murderous words, and the people below were shocked. Mu Tailai, who he brought with him, was also shocked. He immediately bowed and said: "Sir, what are you doing? Are you going to attack Pingyang Mansion? Sir, you must not do it!"
"Shut up! Do you need to teach me what to do?" Miao Yi pointed at his nose and shouted: "If you let one person go alive, I will kill you first. If you let one go, I will kill one from you to make up for it. I will do what I say and will never show mercy. It's useless for anyone to plead for you. I won't buy it! This is your chance to make achievements. The position of the mountain master is vacant. It depends on who has the ability to sit there!"
Mu Tailai was speechless in fear, and the others were the same!
"Did you hear me?" Sikong Wuwei pointed at Miao Yi and shouted at the men he brought with him: "That's the truth!"
Zhao Feiyi said in a deep voice: "If you let one live, I will kill one of you to make up for it. If you want to be the mountain master, you have to earn merits to exchange for it!"
Someone from Yunsang Mansion suddenly bowed to Sikong Wuwei and said: "How can the mansion master take risks alone? I am willing to follow the mansion master to protect the mansion master's safety!"
Sikong Wuwei rolled his eyes and sneered: "Don't flatter here! Xingxuhai can come and go freely in this mansion. Do I need you to protect me when I break into Pingyang Mansion?"
Zhao Fei shouted: "What are you still hesitating about? Do you want to disobey the order?"
The confidant he brought to Qianze Mansion immediately waved his hand and said: "Let's go!"
After hundreds of people and horses disappeared into the forest in three groups, Miao Yi and the other two looked at each other and immediately rushed along the mountain road.
When they arrived at the mountain gate, two gatekeepers holding umbrellas stopped the three people, "Who are you?"
The three did not force their way in, and handed over the appointment jade certificate of the hall master Shen Huaixin. Zhao Fei said: "The three of us are neighbors with the Lord Chang, and we have made an appointment to visit together!"
"Wait a moment, the three Lords!" The guards nodded and bowed, put away their umbrellas and left quickly.
In the Lord's official residence, after receiving the notification, the burly and bearded Chang Zhijiu stood in the main hall and said strangely: "I was thinking of visiting them someday, but I didn't expect that they were more anxious than me and actually ran here in the rain."
Turning around, he said to the maid beside him: "I will go to greet the distinguished guests, and order people to set up a banquet in the main hall!"
The maid took the order and left, and Chang Zhijiu strode out of the door. There was someone holding an umbrella outside, but he pushed it open. The guests came in the rain, so he naturally had to greet them in the rain.
The great mansion master Chang soon appeared in front of the mountain gate in the rain, bowed and smiled, "The two mansion masters have come from afar, and I am sorry for not welcoming you!"
Miao Yi and the other two also jumped off their mounts and exchanged pleasantries. Chang Zhijiu was envious of Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei's mounts and praised them.
All of them were colleagues of the same level, and the three of them walked side by side and returned to the mansion master's official residence to laugh and chat, and there were people to serve them attentively.
When the maid announced that the banquet was ready, Chang Zhijiu stood up and stretched out his hand and said, "Please!"
Several people came to the hall, and more than a dozen long tables filled with fine wine and delicacies had been arranged in two rows. The three walking officials and six stewards of Pingyang Mansion had been waiting to welcome them.
After Chang Zhijiu introduced the three people and a group of subordinates, he sat in the first seat. After a lively greeting in the hall, everyone also sat down in order of importance.
Beautiful women were serving wine, the host was welcoming, and several maids were dancing in the middle. The atmosphere in the hall was quite lively. After a few glasses of wine, Chang Zhijiu took the initiative to ask about what he had seen and heard in Xingxu Sea: "Three, we have never been to Xingxu Sea. I don't know what it is like. Can you tell me about it so that we can broaden our horizons?"
Everyone immediately responded with applause. Miao Yi smiled and stood up: "Speaking of Xingxu Sea, I just happened to have a friend to introduce to everyone."
Chang Zhijiu was immediately curious and asked: "Is there another distinguished guest outside in the rain?"
Miao Yi left the table and waved to a group of dancers in the middle who were in the way. A group of dancers stopped and looked at Chang Zhijiu, and Chang Zhijiu also waved to indicate that he should leave.
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei both held the table and said nothing. Miao Yi stood in the hall and looked around at everyone. He stretched out his arms, and Qi Xiuhong's body suddenly appeared out of thin air and was held horizontally in his arms.
The hall was quiet. Miao Yi held Qi Xiuhong and walked slowly around. Finally, facing Chang Zhijiu who was in the first position, he asked coldly, "Miao traveled thousands of miles to bring her back from Xingxiu Sea and has been keeping her with me. I just want to ask you one question today: do you still recognize her?" (To be continued...)
