"This must be a trick!"
Seeing how the Red Lotus Mother was protecting him, Wu Ming immediately came to a conclusion.
Meng Kuo was the Zhenyuan Great General of the imperial court. He had countless warriors and advisors under his command. He had an army of 25,000 soldiers, including a few thousand cavalrymen. King Yi Mei only had over ten thousand armored soldiers, and his strength was far inferior. He could not be defeated!
The other side held the principle of righteousness, while their own side was a traitor. Their organization was incomplete, and they could not win against the two!
Meng Tian came from a family of generals and was a descendant of the military school. The Red Lotus Group on his side was just a motley crew. The Red Lotus Goddess was blinded by greed and even wanted to encroach on military power! Han Hulin, on the other hand, was a formidable character. He was patient and patient, and his internal strife was fierce. These three could not be defeated!
Despite being in such a disadvantageous position, she still sent Wu Ming out. The Red Lotus Mother's sinister intentions were as clear as day!
"Haha … Then I'll appoint Fellow Daoist Blackheart as the Chief Military Advisor. All of my subordinates will be under my command. How about it?"
Han Hulin waved his hand, causing the expressions of the others to change. "Absolutely not!"
The one who cried out the loudest was the Red Lotus Mother herself!
"Oh? Why? "
Han Hulin's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness as he asked deliberately.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, as a monk, I must abide by the rules. Today, seeing that Your Majesty is the True Lord, leaving the mountain to assist is already my limit. How could I dare to break the rules? With the greatest riches and honor in the world? "
Wu Ming declined with a smile.
What a joke! He clearly knew that Han Hulin's fate would be bleak, yet he still chose to be the chief military advisor. Their fates were linked. Was he tired of not dying fast enough?
"That's right! My Junior Martial Brother hasn't made any contributions yet, but the Great King can't reward him so handsomely. This will disappoint the others! "
The Red Lotus Mother shuddered at first before following along with Wu Ming's words.
"That's right! That's right! "
As soon as these words were spoken, the others immediately echoed in agreement.
"If that's the case, what should we do?"
Han Hulin pretended to be helpless.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Give I a day's time, and I'll have a brilliant plan to defeat the enemy!"
Wu Ming said confidently.
"Oh?" Han Hulin was overjoyed. "If that's the case, I'll definitely ask you to be my advisor! Below only one, above all! "
…
"Master?"
Once everyone else had left, Bai Yulian knelt before the Red Lotus Holy Mother. Her eyes flickered as she asked, "Why did you set senior uncle up like that?"
"Humph! You're still calling him Martial Uncle? "
The Red Lotus Mother snorted coldly in dissatisfaction. Soon afterwards, she became complacent. "Is this lowly daoist an idiot? He's still fallen for my scheme! How could military affairs be a trifling matter? Once you say that, it's the same as issuing a military order. When the time comes, if you can't complete it, this Holy Mother will still do whatever I want to him! "
"But what if Han Hulin loses?"
A hint of doubt appeared on Bai Yulian's face.
"Haha … He has my Master's orders. Now is not the time for him to face the tribulation!"
The Red Lotus Mother seemed rather confident. After Bai Yulian left, a sliver of viciousness flashed through her almond-shaped eyes. "And … so what if Han Hulin dies? My Red Lotus Group has already roped in most of the military officers. As long as Han Hulin dies, I can immediately take over. The Sacred Sect has hundreds of thousands of disciples, and I have military power. If I make another call, wouldn't I be able to control more than half of the prefecture? By then … "
Of course, she obviously would not tell Bai Yulian about her trusted aide's plans for something as important as this.
On the contrary, a sliver of cold light appeared on the Red Lotus Mother's face as she watched Bai Yulian leave.
… …
"Greetings, father!"
Bai Yulian left the Red Lotus Mother's tent, but she made a few strange turns, shaking off the Red Lotus disciples behind her. She arrived in a hidden space.
To no surprise, the person standing there was Han Hulin from before!
However, right now, he did not seem like someone who had been bestowed with lust at all. He immediately went up and helped Bai Yulian up. He smiled. "You're my foster daughter, so there's no need for you to be so particular about etiquette. Does the Red Lotus Mother suspect you?"
"She suspected me a long time ago. She just doesn't know my true background, so she's been holding it in!"
Bai Yulian smiled coldly. "Father, what you've done today …"
"Hehe … There are many successors in the school of the Military, and most of them are from families of generals. They've been connected by marriage for a hundred years, and their interests are deeply intertwined. A mere Enlightened Master of Seven Soldiers is nothing. What's important is that junior brother of his. If we don't handle him well, it'll be a huge problem!"
"Is that why you're planning on using Zhai Xingzi as a scapegoat?"
Bai Yulian said in thought. Soon afterwards, she shook her head. "No, Zhai Xingzi was the one who killed Enlightened Master of Seven Soldiers in the first place. We've only found the culprit!"
"But I'm not prepared to bow and scrape to the school of the Military!"
Han Hulin smiled coldly. "Attracting attention is only one aspect. The other aspect is that this Daoist Blackheart seems to have something going on with the Red Lotus Mother. It's perfect to grind him down a little. Perhaps he'll be of some use!"
"I was just about to report this person to you in detail!"
Bai Yulian's expression became stern. She seemed to have thought of something again, and her face became slightly flushed.
… …
"If that's the case, you can go to Zhai Xingzi's side and secretly rope him in. If necessary, you can directly expose him!"
Han Hulin smiled coldly. "That bitch Red Lotus is wantonly roping in soldiers in the camp. There are even five generals under my command. What's she trying to do? I'll feign civility with her for now. One day, I'll make that bitch suffer retribution! "
… …
"Politics is divided into two factions. Fate is being consumed. Another great defeat!"
Wu Ming observed the situation and shook his head slightly. He called for his two beautiful disciples.
"Master?"
Huang Ying was obviously a little confused. However, she still bowed respectfully with Li Xiuyun and asked in confusion.
"The war is coming. You'll also need a few protective artifacts!"
Wu Ming looked at the two girls and saw that their faces were glowing. It was obvious that their Taoist skills had improved again. He could not help but nod.
The cultivation method he passed on to them was based on the incomplete Qi Refinement method in the 'Maoshan Sutra', which he edited and supplemented.
Although the Maoshan Sect's 49 spells were fierce and domineering, they were not orthodox Xuanmen. Some of them could even shorten one's lifespan!
The only foundational Taoist skill was incomplete. There was only half of the Qi Refinement method. He would never be able to become a Perfected One.
However, what kind of vision did Wu Ming have now? From a strategic point of view, he immediately completed it and passed it to the two girls.
He did not know where the Qi Refinement method in the Maoshan Sutra came from, but it was worth watching. Especially after Wu Ming completed it, it became the most neutral and peaceful. It also had a solid foundation. There would be no obstacles for them to switch to other Taoist skills in the future. There were many benefits.
"The two of you have just started. Ying 'er is fine. She has martial arts to protect herself. However, Yun' er lacks a suitable protective artifact!"
With a wave of Wu Ming's hand, a small black pouch and a short rope landed in Li Xiuyun's hand.
"This is the Yin Binding Rope. When it is activated, it is soundless, but even a martial arts master would not be able to escape from it. There is also the Mysterious Yin Pouch, which contains five types of Yin and Evil Qi: Miasma, Poison Qi, Evil Qi, Yin Qi, and Ghost Qi. As long as it is aimed at a living person, once the Five Qi is contaminated, the person will immediately turn into pus and blood … I have already refined these two treasures, so they are not afraid of the blood on the battlefield.
Wu Ming said in a deep voice. He then passed on the operation method.
"Master …"
At that moment, Huang Ying's eyes widened. She said in a sweet voice, "You're so biased. I can't accept it!"
"Haha … Ying 'er, you've mastered martial arts. I'm afraid ordinary artifacts won't catch your eye. I still have a few Poisonous Fire Flying Swords. I'll give them to you!"
Wu Ming laughed and took out a few small black and red swords. They were the treasures of the dead Taoist Blackheart. The most powerful one was only Level 2. He was not interested in them, but he could use them as a favor.
"And this …"
He immediately took out a few talismans and handed them to the two girls. "If things go wrong, use this to escape!"
Honestly, although he was confident that he could protect the two girls, the battlefield was ever-changing. Who could really say for sure?
"Thank you, Master!"
Huang Ying and Li Xiuyun bowed. Seeing that he had given them such precious artifacts, although they knew that he wanted to protect their lives and use the Natal Qi to change their fates, the two girls' impression of Wu Ming changed again and again.
…
"Meng Kuo? The descendant of the Military School?! "
After sending the two away, Wu Ming touched his chin and waved his hand. A few more brilliant artifacts appeared in front of him.
Among them, there were seven short spears that were silver in color. They had blood runes on them and turned into a faint snake shape. Even now, they still had their spirituality and were flashing with light. They looked like seven lively little snakes, worthy of being the artifact refined by the Seventh Soldier Enlightened Being.
The other one was a platinum gourd that was placed on the cloud bed in front of him. There was nothing strange about it, but Wu Ming knew how terrifying it was when it was unleashed! It was equivalent to the power of a small part of the True Fate of the Stars!
Compared to these two items, the evil artifact that Taoist Blackheart had spent half his life refining immediately became a jumping clown. It was not worth mentioning, like the difference between pearls and rubble!
"In the future, I still need to compete with many experts. Just one Skeleton Spirit is far from enough …"
Wu Ming pondered, "Moreover, the traces of the Military School are too obvious. There might be some secret door, so it's better to refine them again! Coincidentally … in my memory, there is a magical artifact that is quite suitable … "
He immediately took out the Geng Gold Gourd.
"Roar!
Roar! "He held it in his hand and used his spiritual sense to explore the inside of the gourd. He could see a lot of murderous aura that was as dense as liquid. Starlight flashed on it and turned into the appearance of a ferocious white tiger that shook the forest with a roar!
"Such a dense murderous aura! It should be at least on a battlefield with more than 100,000 people … "
Wu Ming's face was filled with joy. He knew how hard it was to refine this gourd. Just the amount of murderous aura required was enough for an ordinary person to work for ten years!
If it wasn't for the end of the Great Shang Dynasty, when the world was in chaos and wars were everywhere, ten years might not be enough to collect so much murderous aura!
From a certain point of view, this magical artifact could be considered to have descended into the world according to the will of the heavens.
"The materials of these seven short spears are also quite good. They are mixed with fine gold, mithril, and coral iron from the bottom of the sea?"
Wu Ming smiled. A flame appeared on his hand and immediately enveloped the seven short spears …
