Chapter 122: The Second Palace
Since Guo Shen said that he wanted to consider the strategy, let's wait, so Gu Zuo began to prepare troops and generals, planning to "hunt" Minshan with 300 Tang troops and 300 reduced soldiers as the main force.
For this reason, he specially asked Gao Xianzhi to conduct special training for several days with the 600 troops and horses preparing to go out, mainly practicing how to better round up defeated soldiers.
But for three days in a row, Guo Shen and Zhi Jian from Wuxia did not send any advice. Now Gu Zuo was a little anxious. When he was about to send someone to ask again, a group of grass-headed gods came to worship the mountain. Behind them, they tied ropes
There were a large number of monks, ranging from Jindan to Lianxu, a total of three to four hundred people.
When Gao Xianzhi saw him, he hurriedly greeted him. The Caotou God who led the team was the Hedao Tiger Demon who had taught him how to practice.
After the meeting, the tiger demon said to Gu Zuo: "Master Gu, my general said that the situation was urgent, so he didn't have time to inform your army. Last night, our army encountered Baimangshan and Emei and Qingcheng monks in Minshan. Both sides
A chaotic fight broke out, and our army immediately went to mediate and finally persuaded both sides to stop fighting."
Pointing backward, he said: "When we were trying to persuade peace, some thieves dared not to listen to good advice, so our army had no choice but to capture them and send them here specially... We don't want to disturb the Grand Master, so we only need to invite the two young friends Li Xu and Liu Yifei."
Just come out."
Gu Zuo was speechless. I am afraid that the people in Guanjiangkou were worried that the Tang army would compete with them for prisoners, so they simply took action themselves? These guys really must win every battle. It should be noted that Emei is different from Baimangtian. Feng Ping's combat power is still
Very strong.
Well, since they named Li Yan and Liu Yifei, Gu Zuo asked them to come out to hand over and complete the follow-up matters. He walked around the prisoners to evaluate the strength of these hundreds of people.
Gu Zuo asked the tiger demon: "Who is leading the team in Emei? Didn't they catch it?" He glanced over and saw that there was no Hedao-level monk in the spiritual realm. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he could catch the two elders of the three immortals,
Someone like Zi Qizhen, or San Ying Er Yun, might be able to figure out what conspiracy Emei and Qingcheng are planning.
The tiger demon said: "This is not the case. We don't know who is leading the team. In short, we just rush over and arrest people. It is more difficult to catch those who are in harmony. There seem to be a few, but they all ran away. We don't know who it is."
Having said that, when the tiger demon saw Li Yan and Liu Yifei arriving, he quickly left Gu Zuo and rushed to contact them, while Gu Zuo continued to check the quality of the prisoners.
It has to be said that the Emei guys are quite powerful. There are dozens of Nascent Souls, much more than Baimangtian’s Nascent Souls.
For example, the eight guys in front of me, Yi Shui'er's Nascent Soul, and the feedback of the true essence in Gu Zuo Qi Sea are also very similar. They are very different from the other monks in Emei and Qingcheng. They are self-contained, indicating that they are practicing the same technique.
…
Hmm? This face looks a bit familiar?
Seeing that it was Gu Zuo, one of them had his hands tied behind his back. He bravely took a step forward, nodded and bowed and said, "Master Gu, I am Huang Xiu."
Gu Zuo was confused: "Huang Xiu..."
The man quickly said: "Yes, I am Huang Xiu."
Several people around him hurriedly came over and kept saying: "Master Gu, the younger one is Xue Ping..." They each called their names.
Gu Zuo couldn't remember so many names. He pointed at Huang Xiu and Xue Ping and said: "Oh - Huang Xiu - Xue Ping..."
Huang Xiu said in surprise: "Grand Master, do you still remember the little one..."
Gu Zuo asked: "Who are you?"
Xue Ping said: "Master, we are the eight brothers of Qingluo Mountain!"
Gu Zuo finally remembered: "Eight Demons of Qingluo Mountain?"
Huang Xiu and Xue Ping immediately burst into tears: "Grand Master!"
These eight brothers were the Baimangtian monks who were captured in the last battle at Jinshitan. They were originally Xinchenzi's subordinates. They were later acquired by Meiluzi and became Meiluzi's subordinates. Unexpectedly, they appeared here again today.
Gu Zuo was really surprised now: "Meluzi redeemed you, why were you arrested again? Could it be that you ran back to Xinchenzi again?"
Huang Xiu quickly explained: "The grand master has misunderstood. How can we be betrayers of faith? Since we are loyal to Lord Meiluzi, we will never do anything betrayal."
With that said, Huang Xiu and Xue Ping explained the whole story, and Gu Zuo finally understood what happened. It turned out that they, the Eight Demons of Qingluo Mountain, followed Mei Luzi to set up a trap in Minshan, preparing to kill Xin Chenzi in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a trap, and Huangque appeared.
Yes, it was Emei and Qingcheng people. When the Eight Devils of Qingluo Mountain and the others were locked in a bitter battle, the grass-headed gods from Guanjiangkou suddenly came out, indiscriminately, and captured whoever they saw. Of course, the people from Emei and Qingcheng did not escape.
, the people of Meiluzi were also caught in the net, and all of them were snatched away in exchange for spiritual stones.
Gu Zuo looked behind the Eight Demons of Qingluo Mountain again, and sure enough he saw dozens of acquaintances, most of whom were monks who had just been redeemed by Mei Luzi a few months ago, and this time they were entering the palace for the second time.
When these acquaintances met Gu Zuo, some bowed their heads, some hid their faces in shame, and some looked indifferent on the surface but were actually worried. The Eight Demons of Qingluo Mountain were trying to get close to them, Gu Zuo said with a smile: "
We, Tang Jun, spent money to redeem you from the hands of Caotou God, so we can’t just let you go. We still follow the old rules..."
Seeing that Gu Zuo had no murderous intention, the Eight Demons of Qingluo Mountain felt relieved. This was the reason why they were getting close. At this moment, they all said: "I understand, don't worry, Taishi Gu. Our Lord Meilu has said that he will come back to redeem his son."
"
Gu Zuo nodded in relief: "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely entertain you with delicious food and drinks in my camp, and you won't suffer."
All the Mangtian monks who had experienced being ransomed by Gu Zuo before said, "I know, I know, thank you so much for taking care of me, Grand Master."
Only the captured monks from Emei and Qingcheng looked at each other in confusion. They couldn't understand why the monks from Baimangtian were so happy. They all frowned and couldn't help cursing secretly: "A bunch of evil heretics!"
Li Yan and Liu Yifei paid the ransom and took in these three or four hundred monks. Gu You began to resettle them. During the resettlement process, they also differentiated treatment. The monks from Baimangtian lived in the above-ground prison camp, and the monks from Emei and Qingcheng lived in the prison camp.
Because of their very stubborn and bad attitudes, most of them were thrown into dungeons.
After the placement was completed, Gu You asked Gu Zuo for his opinion on how to deal with it. Gu Zuo said: "Still the same as before, the price remains the same."
Gu You nodded and quickly went to register the roster.
A few days later, Gu Zuo discovered that a large number of people had increased in the refugee camp. Knowing that the deal might have been concluded, he asked Li Twelve to hurry up and transfer them.
Li Twelve complained: "How can I hurry up? In one year, more than 30,000 people have been transferred to our Nanwu Prefecture. Our battle clouds have become a scene in Nantianmen. I don't know how many people have watched them."
Gu Zuo was helpless: "There is no way. The number of refugees in Nishikawahara has exceeded 70,000, and they are all waiting to be transferred to Nanwu Prefecture. This is an opportunity for great development in Nanwu Prefecture. People are the foundation of everything. I have thought about it.
Let’s take this opportunity to strive to increase the population of our Eastern Tang Dynasty to 200,000 and achieve leapfrog development.”
Li Twelve asked: "Are there so many people with spiritual talents?"
