Chapter 264: Yao Jin sets off for the Li family; Yang Lin gathers troops to reinforce Pingshan.
Everyone has their own destiny.
Lu Xiao couldn't help but smile when he saw Yuwen Chenglong's appearance.
He wasn't particularly envious of Cheng Yaojin's good fortune.
Because he also has one, except his old god is the system.
But he could tell that Yuwen Chenglong was almost in tears, his eyes were red.
"Yuwen Chenglong." Cheng Yaojin turned Yuwen Chenglong's head around, stared into his eyes, and said with utmost seriousness, "You've already cried."
"..." Yuwen Chenglong had no words to express his suffering, and his lips twitched.
He was more than just crying.
He was so anxious!
Why should I?
Why does Cheng Yaojin, this fat guy, always get all the good things?
"Your Highness, who is the true master that the old immortal is talking about?" Cheng Yaojin ignored the crying Yuwen Chenglong and asked his own question.
Even now, he still can't understand what the old sage meant by "God" and who he should protect.
"Anyway, it wasn't me."
Lu Xiao shook his head. He only wanted to be a carefree prince and had no intention of becoming emperor.
That position is too tiring and too troublesome.
So no matter what, that person can't be the one Cheng Yaojin is looking for.
"Alright, then I'll go back and ask the old immortal again in my dream."
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Cheng Yaojin stopped asking.
Anyway, we can ask again when we have the chance.
"Brother Cheng! Uncle Cheng!" Yuwen Chenglong grabbed Cheng Yaojin and held him tightly, calling out urgently.
"Please tell the old sage to come to my dream too, and ask him to teach me! I want it too!"
"Sure! There's a chance!"
Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and readily agreed, displaying his generosity.
As for when he will be able to see the old immortal, even he himself doesn't know.
Maybe three years, maybe five years, maybe we'll never see each other again.
Yuwen Chenglong, just wait patiently, it'll be over in a million years.
"Your Highness, then I shall also set off."
Originally, it was decided to set off today to become a spy for the Li family, and Cheng Yaojin did not intend to stay any longer; the sooner they got there, the sooner they could finish.
"Hmm." Lü Xiao nodded, and then reminded Cheng Yaojin, "The Li family members are extremely shrewd. Don't give yourself away, especially Li Shimin, who is not easy to fool."
"Don't worry, I have nine ways to kill him! Nine ways!"
Cheng Yaojin gestured with his fingers, holding up nine fingers and shaking them.
"Old Cheng, please change back, I beg you."
You Junda followed behind Cheng Yaojin, one step at a time, pleading bitterly with a face full of resentment.
Watching the two clowns walk away one after the other, Lü Xiao felt a great sense of peace and quiet.
These two, when they get together, they're like a comedy troupe, very lively.
However, Cheng Yaojin's actions today have indeed dealt a significant blow to Yuwen Chenglong.
He stood there, gazing in the direction Cheng Yaojin had gone, his eyes vacant, his whole being listless.
"Your Highness, have you summoned any deities to appear in my dream?"
Having received an empty promise from Cheng Yaojin, Yuwen Chenglong then became entangled with Lü Xiao, clinging to him like a stubborn plaster that he couldn't shake off.
After all, from the current perspective, both Cheng Yaojin and Lü Xiao are people with opportunities and divine help.
Furthermore, he discovered that the deity in Lü Xiao's dream was even more powerful and domineering than the one in Cheng Yaojin's dream.
Lü Xiao's progress was visible to the naked eye, advancing by leaps and bounds.
"I've notified him," Lu Xiao said casually, making up a story as he was being pestered. "But you didn't sleep last night, you didn't sleep at all, so he couldn't enter a dream. Even immortals need a chance; since you weren't there, he naturally went to find someone else."
"I knew it!"
Yuwen Chenglong suddenly realized what was happening, slapped his thigh hard, and looked full of regret.
It seems the old immortal has indeed gone to the wrong door!
How could someone as intelligent and loyal as him be inferior to Cheng Yaojin?
It's all because I was dealing with Xu Maogong last night and missed the opportunity!
"Could you let me know again tonight?"
Yuwen Chenglong stared at Lü Xiao expectantly.
"That depends on how devout you are."
After all, you missed an opportunity. And once an opportunity is missed, it may never come again.
Lu Xiao gave a wry smile, finally realizing what it meant to be a stubborn leech that couldn't be shaken off.
"Okay! I will be devout!"
Yuwen Chenglong said with great conviction and a serious expression.
Upon returning to Luoyang, he replaced all the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall with those of the old immortal!
Make his Yuwen family's ancestors step back and give the old immortal some space!
They offered incense and made offerings every day, with utmost respect and devotion.
From now on, he will go to bed early and get up early, never stay up late, and never miss the chance to dream of the immortals.
"By the way, what about Li Zitong and Du Fuwei?"
Lu Xiao remembered the important matter and asked.
He remembered that these two were kings, and if he destroyed them, the system should give him a reward.
"They're all locked up; they won't die," Yuwen Chenglong replied, then asked, "Should we grind them to dust as well? Like Xu Maogong?"
"Keep them locked up for now, and behead them along with their families in a few days."
Lü Xiao has always been generous to his enemies.
After all, a family should be together so that they are not alone on their journey to the afterlife.
"Alright! I'm going to sleep now!" Yuwen Chenglong had been busy all night and was exhausted, his eyelids drooping. "Your Highness, please inform them! Don't forget!"
Before leaving, he made sure to give Lü Xiao a few more instructions, afraid that he might forget.
On the other side, outside Dengzhou City, at the camp of the Prince of Kaoshan.
"Xue Liang, how are the troop preparations going?"
Yang Lin sat in the main tent, fully armored, and asked in a deep voice.
In recent days, he led his troops to quell the rebellions around Dengzhou, and has suppressed both large and small rebellions, basically restoring order.
At the same time, he also learned that various rebel groups had taken to Siping Mountain, amassing an army of over 800,000 and their power was overwhelming.
Lü Xiao led 80,000 men and confronted these rebels, creating a critical situation.
Today's military meeting is to gather troops and head to the Jianghuai region to assist Lü Xiao in relieving the siege of Siping Mountain.
"Father, the troops are ready and can depart at any time," Xue Liang replied, cupping his hands in greeting, before adding his own words of encouragement.
"But I think it's better to let me go."
You still need to stay in Dengzhou to stabilize the situation. If you leave and someone causes trouble, the situation in Dengzhou may become unstable.
"There are many rebels in Siping Mountain. Even if Zi Lie has extraordinary abilities, how can he possibly defeat 800,000 people?"
No matter how powerful he is, he's still just a mortal. He needs my help in this battle!
Yang Lin stood up, grabbed the pair of heavy Water and Fire Dragon-Binding Staffs beside him, and said.
Currently, Dengzhou still has 100,000 troops, and he plans to take 80,000 elite soldiers with him on this trip.
Although it's uncertain whether it's enough, with 800,000 against 80,000, the odds of winning aren't high.
But at the very least, it can provide Lu Xiao with some boost in terms of public opinion.
