Chapter 235: The Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the King of Night

Luoyang, the city gate.

Nine beams of light and nine cities vaguely became the nine centers of the formation.

But compared with Daxing and Jiangdu, Luoyang seems a little too peaceful.

Needless to say, Daxing City is the capital of the Sui Dynasty. Coupled with the appearance of Yang Gong's treasure house, it has become the focus before the formation appeared.

As for Jiangdu, Yang Guang alone has already shown so much.

The current Sui emperor was not in Daxing, but appeared in Jiangdu instead, which is enough to show that this place is unusual.

Therefore, whether in Daxing or Jiangdu, there has not been any major chaos yet.

But there are countless people both openly and secretly, just like what Jiangdu Shi Zhixuan felt, there are fluctuating true energy everywhere, but he can't feel where the people are.

If this is the case in Jiangdu, it will naturally be even worse in Daxing.

However, as the formation broke out, Yang Guang appeared.

Countless people are also aware of the city of Jiangdu.

Therefore, a large number of people who were originally hiding in and outside Daxing City have begun to move quickly towards Jiangdu.

Return to Luoyang.

It is also one of the top three major cities in the Sui Dynasty.

It was also one of them when the light column exploded previously.

But as the light column disappeared and the stars shone, the entire Luoyang city suddenly became silent.

There was no more movement and everything looked no different from usual.

Even the city gates were open normally.

If someone who doesn't know the truth sees this, they would really feel that Luoyang has nothing to do with this matter.

"interesting."

Zhu Houzhao snorted lightly.

"Such calmness makes my premonition even stronger. Luoyang must be something special."

"brush."

An inaudible murmur came from Zhu Houzhao's mouth, but before he could finish, it was interrupted by a sound of breaking through the air.

Li Jinglong, who had been following Zhu Houzhao, suddenly stepped forward and blocked Zhu Houzhao, pointing the spear forward and a powerful aura bursting out from his body.

Although the Luoyang city gate was a bit deserted, there were still a few people here and there.

And these people were obviously frightened by Li Jinglong's sudden action.

"Master, be careful."

Li Jinglong ignored the passers-by and spoke softly to Zhu Houzhao.

Looking up, Zhu Houzhao also saw the target that Li Jinglong was on guard against.

Three figures.

One old man and two young men.

But judging from the positions of the three people, the old man was obviously not the one in charge, but the young man in black robe standing in the middle.

It's a rather strange combination.

Of course, what Zhu Houzhao didn’t know was that in the eyes of the other party, they were also a strange combination.

Zhu Houzhao, a man wearing white clothes and holding a paper fan, looks like a scholar, and next to him stands Li Jinglong, who is wearing heavy armor.

"Go back."

Zhu Houzhao snorted lightly.

"Please don't blame me for my recklessness."

He waved towards the other side.

Of course he knew why Li Jinglong was on guard.

These three people had a very strong martial arts aura, and they did not try to conceal the fluctuations of their true energy at all.

Especially the young man in black robe standing in the middle, he is definitely an extremely powerful master.

"These people are also coming for Luoyang." Zhu Houzhao said in his heart.

"You are too polite, brother. I am..."

The young man in white standing on the right among the three had his eyes lit up and he immediately bowed, but he was interrupted before he could finish.

"Enter the city."

The one who spoke was the black-robed man in the middle.

Hearing this, the young man in white could only bow to Zhu Houzhao and follow him towards Luoyang City.

Only after the figures of the few people disappeared did Li Jinglong put down his weapon.

"Sir, these people are all experts. I am afraid they will harm you."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand:
"Don't act without orders in the future. No one in the Great Sui knows my identity. If you act rashly like this, you will be more likely to get into danger."

"By the way, don't reveal your real name in front of others. Even though the chances of knowing your real name are slim, it's still possible."

"General...I understand."

"Let's go into town."

……

In Luoyang City, the atmosphere was still somewhat deserted.

It seems that the entire Luoyang city has not yet recovered from the previous major change.

Even when the Sui Dynasty made its plans and Luoyang became one of the focal points of the formation, it did not bring about much change.

South City.

This was originally the sphere of influence of Jingnian Zen Temple.

It was also the area that Gao Changsheng had cleansed most severely before, and now, it has become the most deserted area in Luoyang.

Although the incident has passed, at least in the short term, both Luoyang warriors and foreign warriors will keep their distance from this area.

Somewhere in the south city, in an ordinary house only a few hundred meters away from the former site of Jingnian Zen Temple.

A figure was sitting casually on a chair.

It was none other than Zhu Houzhao, and standing next to him was Li Jinglong.

In front of him, two masked figures were standing there in a bowed posture.

"March 8th, August 11th, meet the Sword of Eternal Life."

A deep voice echoed in the room.

As the voice fell, a long sword as white as the moon and as cold as frost appeared in Zhu Houzhao's hand.

"boom."

Even though Li Jinglong had been a little dazed, his whole body trembled at this moment.

March 8th and August 11th are ordinary days, but if placed in the world and in relation to one’s identity, they are no longer simple words.

Because that represents a force so huge that it scares everyone.

The sky is as blue as water, the blue dragon is in the sky, the blue dragon will.

December has another 365 days.

Each month represents a church, and each day represents an action group.

March is in charge of intelligence, and August, September and Thirteen are the three action halls.

"What's the situation now? Where are our people?" Zhu Houzhao asked indifferently.

Although he was still wearing the human skin mask, Zhu Houzhao's temperament at this time really seemed like a different person.

"There are several groups in my Qinglong Society. Most of them are now near Jiangdu in Daxing, led by the Second and Third Dragon Chiefs. The rest are paying attention to other cities."

"I wonder whether I should notify the two dragon leaders and ask them to transfer people to Luoyang." March 8th bowed and spoke.

"No need for that. All actions of the Great Sui Dynasty are under the control of the two Dragon Heads. There is no need to report to us in the future."

Zhu Houzhao touched the sword in his hand and waved it, but when his fingers ran over the two words on the hilt, he suddenly thought of something.

"Any news about Gao Changsheng? Where is he?"

After these words were spoken, they were both stunned.

"No, Gao Changsheng has not appeared since he returned to Daxing. He may still be in Daxing."

"Moreover, among the Nine Lords of the Great Sui Dynasty, several were not included in the plan. According to everyone's speculation, Gao Changsheng was also very likely to serve as the replacement."

"hehe."

"Okay, please step back."

Zhu Houzhao ignored the two of them.

He did not refute the other party. The speculation of the two seemed reasonable, but it was actually impossible. You have to know that the plan of the Sui Dynasty was determined decades ago. At that time, Yang Lin and others were picked out, and Gao Changsheng was still unknown at that time. Could it be that Yang Jian, Gao Jiong and others deliberately left a vacancy and waited for Gao Changsheng? Even a fool knew that it was impossible.

As for Daxing, although there was no evidence, Zhu Houzhao instinctively felt that Gao Changsheng was not there.

"Gao Changsheng, where will you be? What role will you play?"

Zhu Houzhao gently stroked the two words on the hilt of the sword and murmured softly.

After the murmur of endless curiosity died down, Zhu Houzhao turned around and saw Li Jinglong standing there in a daze.

Of course, Li Jinglong's appearance is not surprising.

After all, the other party had been looking stupid all the way.

But in fact, Li Jinglong was never this type of general.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, many talented people and famous generals gathered together.

However, the large group of brave generals who emerged from Huaixi at that time were generally of the same character as Taizu.

Although it is somewhat disrespectful and not quite accurate to describe them as illiterate, in fact, most of the Huaixi generals had low levels of education and extremely fierce personalities at the beginning.

Among them, Li Wenzhong is an exception. Although he rides a white horse and has a silver spear, and is as aggressive as fire, his personality is that of a Confucian general.

Li Jinglong also inherited this trait.

Well-read, handsome, elegant and well-mannered, this was the impression Li Jinglong gave to everyone when he first debuted.

And now, Li Jinglong in front of Zhu Houzhao can be said to have completely changed into a different person.

I really don’t know what he has been through in Fengyang all these years, following his biological father.

"Your Majesty, this Qinglong Society...you...you..."

Li Jinglong was obviously completely confused.

"What, what's the problem?"

"The Qinglong Society has existed for hundreds of years, and its tentacles have touched every aspect of the Ming Dynasty."

"Apart from the imperial court and the Zhu family, who else can support such a huge force?"

"In other words, apart from the emperor, who else can safely control this kind of power?"

"The sky is as blue as water, the Azure Dragon lives forever, I am the Great Ming Emperor, and also the Son of Night."

……

Just when several forces entered Luoyang.

Outside Luoyang City, two figures were heading in opposite directions.

"Wu...Uncle Wu Wang, are we leaving Luoyang?"

There were two figures, one big and one small, and the young man among them was Gao Changsheng.

And the person following him was actually a young child.

"I don't deserve to be called your Highness' uncle."

Gao Changsheng spoke.

The title of "His Royal Highness" already reveals this person's identity.

Yes, this child was Yang Guang’s son and also his eldest son, Yang Zhao.

"My mother and my grandmother have told Zhao'er to be respectful to King Wu and address him as uncle."

Yang Zhao frowned and spoke seriously.

"Oh? What else did they confess?"

Gao Changsheng laughed.

"Grandmother told Zhao'er to obey Uncle Wu Wang's orders and not to run around."

"They said that being with you is the safest place. Following you can guarantee Zhao'er's future to the greatest extent."

Gao Changsheng nodded. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with the two of them saying such things to a young child.

This is what being in the royal family means.

And although Yang Zhao is so young, his intelligence is definitely far beyond that of ordinary children.

"Uncle Gao, are we really going to leave Luoyang?"

Yang Zhao spoke again, and the way he addressed her became more intimate.

Gao Changsheng looked at Yang Zhao with a smile.

"I wonder what your Highness thinks?"

Yang Zhao was stunned for a while, and then he spoke after a long time:
"Zhao'er listens to your uncle in everything."

After finishing speaking, he added timidly:
"But Zhao'er thinks that since Uncle Gao is so powerful, it would be best if he could go to Jiangdu to help my father..."

"Hahaha."

Gao Changsheng chuckled without commenting.

"Jiangdu doesn't need me."

"Besides, your mother, the emperor, sent you to me. The meaning couldn't be more obvious."

Yang Zhao paused, and then he slowly said: "Zhao'er doesn't know."

"I don't know, I don't know."

Gao Changsheng waved his hand indifferently.

"Let's go, it's getting late."

While speaking, Gao Changsheng waved to Yang Zhao beside him.

Hearing this, Yang Zhao's pupils clearly showed a trace of fluctuation, but it soon turned into worry.

"Uncle Gao, are we really going to ignore Luoyang and Jiangdu?"

Hearing this, Gao Changsheng's mouth corners slowly lifted up, forming an arc.

"Do not worry."

"Although there are rare things like the Earth Vein Dragon, it is not so easy to return the dragon vein to its original position."

"According to my estimation, it will take at least seven days for the dragon vein to be completely formed. Before that, there will only be some small-scale disturbances at best, which is not a big deal."

After saying that, he waved to the other side:
"Tuanzi, let's go."

"Roar."

As soon as the words fell, a simple roar sounded.

The black and white giant beast rolled over like a ball, scaring Yang Zhao so much that he stepped back repeatedly.

At this time, the iron-eating beast had no idea where the mace that it had used to scare Lu Xiaofeng was.

Instead, there are fresh green bamboo shoots.

Even when running at top speed, not a single bamboo shoot between his arms fell off.

He smiled gently and looked back at Luoyang City.

It was definitely not his intention to leave Luoyang at this time.

Although he had communicated with Gao Jiong before, there was no way he could stay out of this major event involving the entire Sui Dynasty.

However, Gao Changsheng did not expect that Dugu Jialuo and Empress Xiao would suddenly send Yang Zhao to his side.

You have to know that at this point in time, Yang Guang only has this one son, so you can imagine how important he is.

Although Dugu Jialuo didn't say anything, Gao Changsheng could see that this was not what he meant and it was most likely Yang Guang's arrangement.

Although there is not a single word, it is more thought-provoking than anything else.

In addition, the layout of two Yangs and one Gao was extremely tight, and in most cases, he didn't need to take action.

And as he said, at this juncture when the dragon vein is taking shape, it is indeed a period of peace.

Due to a variety of reasons, Gao Changsheng changed his mind.

Yes, his purpose of leaving Luoyang at this time was not to go anywhere else, but to the legendary Temple of the God of War.

If it were any other time, he would definitely not go there at this time.

After all, it was never a good place.

However, with the arrival of Tuanzi, especially through constant feeding during this period, the already close relationship between the two has become even closer, and this matter has undoubtedly become a lot simpler.

Of course, the most important thing is what happened suddenly before our eyes.

For some reason, after seeing Yang Zhao, Gao Changsheng instinctively thought of the Temple of War God.

Although there was no evidence, he had a hunch that that was Yang Guang's purpose.

Thinking of this, even Gao Changsheng couldn't help but look at Jiang Du.

He had a hunch that something might have gone wrong in some link of this incident.
