Chapter 42

Chun Jianli rushed up and hugged Ning Jiang's back. Ning Jiang said, "Jianli?"

"I, I will go with you, even if I die... I will die with you!" At this moment, her heart was already desperate.

"Hey," Ning Jiang couldn't help laughing, "What are you saying, I don't want to die yet, okay? What's more, even if I die..."

He said slowly: "I will never bring you to die with you. If my death cannot bring you and Xiao Meng's lifelong happiness, then such death will be too worthless."

"But!" Chun Jianli raised her head suddenly, "But our happiness is to follow you. Without you and without you, no matter what it looks like, it is impossible for us to be happy."

"That's how it is!" The young man smiled, turned around, and hugged her thinly dressed in his arms gently, "Then I can't die no matter what."

The golden crow rose, the sun shone on the earth, the cliff was covered with golden light, and the two people hugged each other, bathed in the sunshine together.

At this time, the ominous dark clouds had gathered in the extreme north and spread wildly to the south...

***

With Chase being killed and losing the natural danger of the long river, the two barbarian armies of the enemy Lie and Xiao Gu, who had already cut off their support, were finally defeated one after another after attacking from all sides.

In the end, the enemy of the basin was killed in battle, and Xiao Gu disappeared in a way that no one could figure it out. Although Ning Jiang once again used the masters in the world and searched everywhere, he still couldn't find her.

Looking back, at that time, in the depths of the blood abyss, Xiao Gu, who was supposed to be trapped by the "Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace" with Master Sangye and the Great Sun Dharma King, appeared again, which means that she must be proficient in some unknown escape technique. If she could not crack the technique in advance, it would be difficult to take her life.

The fallen prefectures were also taken back one after another, and Lin'an City was naturally no exception.

Soon, the emperor ended the southern hunt, and the vast exodus of the capital, and the entire south was in joy after the great victory.

Ma Jingzhan's great defeat and Chashi's destruction made the Miao army start to fear the Zhou Dynasty retreating to the south. The unexpected strength began to retreat from Huizhou and shrink the front line.

The Red Turban Army captured Bafan Town, and Yuwen Pi's two sons, Yuwen Kun and Yuwen Peng, were defeated and killed one after another.

Under this general trend, the south quickly stabilized.

About ten days later, as the Fuchun River, which is the upper reaches of Qianchao River, three young people met from three directions.

These three people are Ningjiang, Ganyushu, and Baizijin.

As three important figures who secretly cooperated with each other and finally won a great victory after Chashi went south, this was their first time together.

"So the ghost military advisor in Mingshan is so young?" Gan Yushu said in surprise after seeing Bai Zijin. In advance, he never expected that Mingshan's ghost military advisor was such a young man.

Bai Zijin smiled embarrassedly and said, "I heard about Brother Gan's name for a long time. I saw him recently, so I am really lucky to meet him."

Ning Jiang Yaofan smiled and said, "Everyone is his own, so there is no need to be so polite."

The three of them climbed to the restaurant together and sat by the window. On the river outside, flower boats docked, and thousands of sails came and went.

During this period, Ning Jiang put down his cup and said, "Can Zijin have also started practicing martial arts?"

Bai Zijin said: "That is, since entering Mingshan, although I mainly do strategic and tactical planning, I am on the battlefield and I have to have some self-defense skills. So I followed Sister Hong and began to practice some self-defense skills."

Gan Yushu smiled and said, "Mingshan's Red Witch, the number one person on the Longtu Chasing List! Ha, speaking of it, the Red Turban Army is now considered an officer and soldier. The name of the Red Witch in Mingshan should be removed from the Longtu Chasing List."

Bai Zijin said: "Don't, now everyone is proud of the Dragon Picture Chasing List. If they remove the list from the Chasing List, Sister Hong will be very disappointed."

Ning Jiang and Gan Yushu both laughed.

Bai Zijin held the wine glass and looked out the window, saying, "It's the first time since he entered Mingshan. In the past, he was always worried and had no time to defend himself. Although he won one after another, he was always worried that he would suddenly capsize that day, so he had to calculate it day by day and be cautious. Now, the whole situation has finally settled down."

Gan Yushu said: "Maybe this is the unusual thing about Zijin. In fact, I have carefully studied the process of the Red Turban Army rising again and again in the Southwest Seventh Route. To be honest, after Zong Xiang's death, the Red Turban Army had already reached its end and it was almost impossible to have room for a turnaround. Only after the Ghost Military Advisor appeared, they exploded again and again in desperate situations. Every time they watched it be destroyed, but the result was that they were stronger and stronger. Even in the most dangerous situation, they always had the most unexpected move. The name of "Nine Deaths and Dominance" was indeed well-known. I dare say that if Zijin had entered the Red Turban Army earlier, Zong Xiang would probably not have fallen to that level. If you appeared later, the Hongniang might have followed her adoptive father's footsteps."

Bai Zijin shook his head and said, "Where is the 'Nine Death Art'? It's just that they have calculated a few more steps than others in a desperate situation. It's because they know that they are not capable enough and have insufficient experience, so they can only calculate repeatedly, considering any possibility, so that they can follow the response after each change. They only see those successful tactics that make them feel incredible, but they fail to notice the countless calculations that have been abandoned."

Then he smiled and said, "In these days, Brother Gan coordinated the overall situation and deployed various troops. After being exhausted through repeated attacks, he finally wiped out the enemy lie in the basin without any major damage. The methods of Xiao Gu's two barbarian troops were truly admired by Zijin."

"Oh, it's the same. Everyone only sees the glorious side of me these days. No one sees me running around behind me, suffocating." Gan Yushu sighed, "It's not like someone, but just sending a few letters here and sending a few people there, and then letting go, hiding on Kuaiji Mountain and wandering all day long, but everything is as he expected. Compared with others, it's really angering people."

The two looked at the third person beside each other.

Ning Jiang shook the folding fan: "Hey, don't look at me as arrogant and confident all day long. In fact, every step I take is to calculate repeatedly in my heart. No matter how powerful it looks, it is just 'the more you can win, the less you can't win'."

Gan Yushu smiled and said, "The main reason is that you look very worthy of beating every time, which makes people really hate it."

Ning Jiang said: "Style, style, just like Zijin's Nine Death Doomshu. Even if there is no such thing at all, after the successive Jedi counterattack, he promoted it himself, so that no one dared to force him into a desperate situation, for fear of creating a chance for him to use the "Nine Death Doomshu". Although the Nine Death Doomshu does not exist, it is actually no different from the real existence. This is the same as me, constantly showing off his arrogant appearance, dare to fight Mu Bugu, dare to fight Meng Yu, and all kinds of arrogance.

After Zhang, he formed the 'style' in the eyes of others. So at that time, the Weiyuan army forced Duan Jiashan and arrogantly acted as if he wanted to destroy Duan Jiajun. Chu Hanguan would fall into the trap. How could he have the 'Ning Family Army' at that time be destroyed at any time? Arrogance and confidence are my superficial behavior, but in my heart, Xiaosheng is actually a humble gentleman who often reflects on himself and is absolutely humble and humble, just like flowing water, and does not fight for it, okay?"

Gan Yushu sprayed out a sip of wine.

Bai Zijin held the wine table with one hand and covered his stomach with the other hand and laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe.

Ning Jiang sighed long, Alas, I was telling the truth, why do you think I was telling a big joke? The saddest thing in life is that I clearly have the excellent character of five talks and four beauties but not understood by outsiders. This is really... lonely as snow!

Gan Yushu smiled for a while before saying, "To be honest, when it comes to this point, why are you still unwilling to enter the dynasty? If you didn't enter the dynasty at first, you were planning to lure the enemy south and go deeper, then now, the overall situation in the south has been decided. With your current reputation, if you are willing to enter the dynasty as prime minister, with the help of Zijin and I, you can easily unite the forces in the south, and it will not be impossible to settle the Central Plains in the future."

Bai Zijin also looked towards Ningjiang.

Ning Jiang held the fan and said, "This is an important reason why I invited you. You are enough on the south side. I plan to go to the north."

Gan Yushu and Bai Zijin looked at each other and looked at each other.

Gan Yushu said in confusion: "Go to the north? At this time?"

Bai Zijin frowned and said, "According to the current situation in the Central Plains, you are welcome, even if you go, Brother Ning Jiang, it will be difficult to achieve anything at present."

Ning Jiang said: "It's not just the Central Plains, I plan to go north of the Huanghe River."

Both of them were moved.

Ning Jiang said: "Let me say this, from your perspective, what is the possibility of the Zhou Dynasty counterattacking the Central Plains today?"

Both of them were silent for a while, Gan Yushu sighed: "It is easy to govern the south from the north, but it is much more difficult to govern the north from the south. Although the Zhou Dynasty finally settled down in the south after the destruction of the sect and seizure, it is still not an easy task to fight north. It takes at least a few years of hard work and unite the whole country to succeed in the Northern Expedition."

Bai Zijin said: "But a few years later, the people in the north may have become accustomed to the rule of the barbarians and Hu. The longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be. What's more, if it delays for a long time, the ambitions of the court will be exhausted. Under the crisis, everyone faces the danger of destruction together, and may work together for many years. The court is probably busy with power struggles and is powerless."

Gan Yushu pondered: "If we only fight from south to north, even if we have the power of artillery, it will still be difficult. The best way is to seize Bashu as much as possible. On the one hand, the troops from the south are pressing north, and on the other hand, we send troops from Bashu and go straight to the hinterland of the Central Plains. But in this way, not only will we seize Bashu from the Miao army, but all the forces in the south must be completely integrated."

Bai Zijin shook his head and said, "Although our army defeated the main force of Ma Jing Zhan this time, it is still impossible to capture Bashu. Not to mention Brother Mu's personal strength, it is definitely not inferior to Chashi. What's more important is that the twenty-seven caves of the Sanhuang Jiuling in Miaoyi are indeed united and have accumulated strength secretly for many years. Unless Miaoyi is partly split, it will be extremely difficult."

Ning Jiang said: "It is actually not impossible to create a division within Xiling. However, as you said, even if there is some disagreement within Miaoyi and the enterprising spirit of the court in the south is maintained, how long can it last? Moreover, the current forces in the south are actually complicated. There is a melody in Xiling, and a tiger lord in the barbarian and a tiger lord, who all unite the tribes with absolute strength and prestige. Since the court retreated to Jiangnan, the prestige has been lost. The rebellious southwest all surrendered one after another. It seems that the situation is very good all of a sudden, but in fact they have their own intentions."

Gan Yushu said: "So, at this time, you need Brother Ning. In China today, only Brother Ning’s prestige can take on this important task..."

Ning Jiang said: "Brother Gan wants me to overthrow Zhou's room now and be the emperor by myself?"

Gan Yushu said: "This..."

Ning Jiang smiled and said, "There is no day, and there is no two kingdom. The Great Zhou Dynasty has established its country for more than 900 years, and Confucianism has been respected for 800 years. Such a long-lasting prosperous era has never existed since ancient times. And unlike the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, relying on literary spirit, the emperor successfully reduced the vassals and literati and officials to rule the world together. Even if there are many malpractices now, facing the invasion of foreign enemies, the emperor still has supreme righteousness. Just like the rebels from all walks of life in the southwest, facing the invasion of barbarians, nominally accepting the emperor's envoy and dispatch of the emperor, this is acceptable to them, but it is not enough to ask them to respect others unconditionally. Even if Confucianism and Taoism have collapsed, the Confucian monarch and ministers' righteousness cannot be overturned in an instant. At this time, the emperor's flag is still needed. Without this flag, there is no need for the barbarians and Hu invasion, the whole south will be in chaos."

Bai Zijin said: "If the current priest would like to use Brother Ning like the Shenzong..."

Ning Jiang said: "Zi Jin might as well ask Brother Gan, there is no possibility of this?"

Baizijin looked at Ganyushu.

Gan Yushu smiled bitterly and said, "Before Chachen went south, the emperor's spirit and spirit had also asked me to invite my brother Ning to be prime minister. However, after this war, the emperor rewarded the heroes and all of them were rewarded, and I was no exception. However, there was no matter about Brother Ning, and the matter of asking Brother Ning to enter the court was not mentioned. In addition, General Huangfu Lin of the Nanjian Xuanwei Department was awarded the title of Duke for his meritorious service. His daughter Fu Lu was loved by the emperor and accepted her as adopted daughter and was also granted the title of princess. With Baotong and Hongdie, the two princesses, returned to Lin'an together..."

Bai Zijin was silent.

Ning Jiang laughed with a hint: "Huangfu Lin made great contributions to rescue the lords, but he helped me secretly build warships and train naval masters. Although there was the secret purpose of "doing cheaply" left by His Majesty Shenzong when he was in power, after all, the one who is in power is not Shenzong. Because of his merits, his daughter was granted the title of princess, which is really a favor. However, in today's heart, General Huangfu has almost been classified as a "traitor". He brought Miss Lu to the good and said it was favor, and in the bad, he was just a hostage."

Gan Yushu said: "Brother Ningjiang..."

Ning Jiang waved his hand and smiled, "Forget it, I don't care what kind of person he is today. In my opinion, even Manhu is probably not our biggest enemy. I come here just to let you know that in the near future, there will probably be enemies that are far more terrifying than Manhu."
