In the eyes of Child Heavenly Crane and the other Daoists who had opened their spirit eyes, they could see the White Jade Flood Dragon circling around it with layers of seven-colored auspicious clouds, dazzling them.
"This is Wang Zhong's providence back then. Legend has it that this person was born with a mystical aura that resembled a dragon or tiger with five colors. It seems like he is indeed a Human Dao Flood Dragon!"
Child Heavenly Crane murmured with a strange expression, "It's a pity … Wang Zhong's aura was cut by the Imperial Order back then and he suppressed the Flood Dragon for so many years. The karmic entanglement cannot be retrieved …"
He vaguely understood Wang Zhong's plan. He wanted his descendants to release the White Flood Dragon to end the karmic entanglement and collect the Great Yang Luck.
But now, one wrong move and the entire game was lost. Heaven's will was playing tricks on people.
The seven-colored auspicious clouds rumbled and three more pieces fell. One flew towards the ancestral hall while the other two landed on the cliff. A small portion went towards Wang Yu while the majority drifted towards Wu Qing.
"Hmm … this is a reward. Heaven's will is impartial … However, Wang Zhong is the previous owner of the dragon aura. It's fine if he can obtain the providence, but why does Miao Qing get one too?"
Monastery Head Yun Ping could not help but murmur when he saw the auspicious aura descending. The providence above Wu Qing's head was green and exuded faint cries of phoenixes.
As for the other Daoists, even Child Heavenly Crane was slightly envious.
Heaven's will favoring one and blessing one's Dao would be successful if used on one's Dao. It was equivalent to ten years of accumulation for ordinary Daoists.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the Flood Dragon in the sky roared again and moved its claws slightly.
"Kacha!"
As if being pulled by an invisible force, a small portion of the seven-colored auspicious clouds that floated towards the ancestral hall was pulled down. The providence that fell towards Wang Yu was reduced by a large amount and all of it gathered towards Wu Qing.
"Tsk tsk … the Flood Dragon is secretly doing something. This female Daoist is not simple …"
Child Heavenly Crane sighed and almost laughed out loud when he saw that the providence that fell on Wang Yu's head was only a tiny bit.
This lad had schemed for so long, but in the end, it was all for someone else. This little bit of harvest was not even enough to compensate for his sins.
How could he compare to Wu Qing who did not do anything and was blessed by providence?
"This …"
Wu Qing felt a few surges of Qi descending upon her, making her feel refreshed. Even the bottleneck of her cultivation had loosened, and her expression changed.
Her fate was extremely precious to begin with, and it was equivalent to having a storage capacity long ago. At this moment, a few wisps of fate swarmed over, but she digested and absorbed them all, turning them into her own foundation, and not a single bit was wasted.
Wu Qing immediately thought of Wu Ming when she knew she had gotten a great deal out of it.
"All of this … could it be that Little Brother had secretly arranged all of this …"
Wu Qing's eyes lit up when she recalled the message from the other party telling her not to fight with Wang Yu and to wait for him to lose.
Originally, she had tried her best to deal with this calamity, and it had even reached the point where she wanted to entrust her child to him.
However, she didn't expect that her younger brother, who had always relied on her protection and under her wings, had suddenly grown up and could shield her sister from the wind and rain.
Wu Qing was quite unfamiliar with this change, but she was also quite pleased.
"Looks like … this little brother of mine is still hiding a lot of secrets from me! When we return, we have to interrogate him properly … "
The beauty smiled gently and unintentionally revealed her charm, causing the surrounding Daoists to lose their focus.
…
At the same time, in the military camp of County City.
"I request to see the County Lieutenant!"
After Li Yutong received the order, he was led into the camp by the guards. His back shivered.
He keenly sensed that the camp today was filled with an ominous aura of iron and blood.
"Soldiers! They are weapons! I should use them with caution! "
Li Yu thought to himself. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw the County Lieutenant, Xing Ju, a burly man dressed in armor, sitting behind the desk. His face was ferocious, and he looked ferocious.
"It's strange. How did such a person give birth to such a beautiful daughter …"
Li Yu thought to himself, but on the surface, he still bowed respectfully and took out the County Governor's document. "According to the County Governor's order, the Wang Family is plotting against us in County City. Please quickly dispatch troops to suppress them!"
"Alright!"
Xing Ju took the document and glanced at it calmly before throwing it on the desk.
His behavior made Li Yu's eyebrows twitch.
"Men! Raise the tent! Let the lieutenants come in to discuss! "
Xing Ju shouted. A few soldiers beside him immediately went out to relay the order.
Not long after, footsteps and the sound of armor dragging on the ground could be heard. A dozen lieutenants came in and bowed to Xing Ju. "Greetings, County Lieutenant!"
The military system of Dazhou was also based on five men to a team and ten men to a Shi. As for a team of five Shi, the team leader was a Rank Nine Chaplain! Two teams to a battalion. The battalion leader was known as the Imperial Chaplain. He led a hundred men and was a Rank Eight Chaplain! Five battalions and one guard led a hundred men and was known as the Zhi Guo Chaplain. He was a Rank Seven Chaplain!
The County Lieutenant was a Rank Six Chaplain. Below him were three Guard Generals and a few Rank Seven Vice Chaplains. Each of them led a few battalions. In total, there were two thousand soldiers.
"Alright! Get up! "
Xing Ju waved his hand. At this moment, the generals saw Li Yu standing at the side. Some of their expressions immediately changed.
"There's a change in the County City. The County Governor has ordered us to send troops to suppress them … What do you think?"
Xing Ju calmly explained the situation. He then distributed the documents with the County Governor's seal for everyone to read.
When he asked the question, everyone looked at each other. The atmosphere was a little strange.
"Lord! I don't think so! "
At this moment, a Guard General stood out and rejected the order. This made Li Yu's eyelids twitch.
"Oh? Why? "
Seeing that Xing Ju was hesitating, the Guard General immediately became spirited. "According to the rules, even the County Governor can only mobilize one guard without the approval of the Imperial Court. How can he order the troops directly? Furthermore … it's just that the County City is unstable. The yamen has hundreds of men and horses. Together with the able-bodied men, they can easily maintain the situation. Why would he need to mobilize the troops? Forgive me for being blunt, but this is ridiculous! "
"How dare you! You … "
Li Yu was furious. He knew that some of the Commandants in the County City would be on the Wang Family's side. However, he didn't expect the other party to be so daring. Their influence was so complicated that even the Guard General had defected! It was really shocking.
"You don't have the right to speak here. Stand down!"
Xing Ju shouted at Li Yu. The latter's face turned red and he stood to the side angrily. He then said, "You … who else agrees? Speak up! If you listen to both sides, you will be enlightened. If you believe in one side, you will be in the dark. I am not an unreasonable person … "
"Lord, we agree!"
Seeing Xing Ju like this, several more vice-generals stepped forward. A rough count revealed that apart from a few of Xing Ju's own subordinates, the rest were actually on the side of the Wang Clan. Their combined forces numbered nearly a thousand, causing Li Yu's face to turn pale.
With such a huge force and the County Governor's support, even the County Lieutenant would have to reconsider.
As expected, when he raised his head, he saw Xing Ju looking at him with a thoughtful gaze. His heart turned cold …
In the Wang Family Residence in the Prefectural City.
"Report! Reporting to the Patriarch, our spies have all been mobilized. They have taken over four gates! "
"Report! Reporting to the Patriarch, our spies have come to report! Li Zhen's son, Li Yu, has entered the County City's camp. The Commandants who secretly sided with us have already handed over the blood oath! "
"Report! Li Zhen is trapped in the County Governor's Residence and has vowed to resist to the death … "
"Very good. Tell them to delay Xing Ju at all costs!"
Wang Su's face was flushed with excitement. "Since the four gates have been taken, the entire Prefectural City is under my control. The Commandants who have sided with us have more than a thousand soldiers. Xing Ju is a smart man. He won't take such a huge risk for the County Governor …"
He immediately got up and mounted his horse. "Pass down my order. My troops will immediately besiege the County Governor's Residence. As long as Li Zhen is killed, the outcome will be set!"
"Yes, Sir!"
The long street outside had already been cleared. Only the Wang Family's private soldiers were still there. They were all fully equipped and had a murderous aura.
"The yamen has long been infiltrated. If we attack this time, we will definitely be defeated in one battle!"
Wang Su's heart was burning with passion. He said loudly, "Everyone … the Wang Family's great cause depends on this!"
"We are willing to die for Sir!"
Many private soldiers hit their weapons and shouted loudly. One could vaguely see the spirit of elite soldiers. It was enough to show that the Wang Family had put in a lot of effort for this.
"Good! Set off immediately! "
After Wang Su passed down the order, he mounted his horse on the long street, and he had the feeling that this was how a real man should act.
…
"Pass the troops!"
"Pass the troops!"
Inside the inn, Wu Ming was calm when he heard the panicked shouts of the people outside.
The sound of orderly footsteps could be heard and the neighing of war horses could be heard. Wu Ming felt like he was personally witnessing the chaos of war.
"The Wang Family is finally moving? I'm afraid they are going to kill County Governor Li Zhen and slaughter the dragon in one move. "
He could clearly see that if Li Zhen was killed now, the entire Chu Feng County would be without a leader. Even if County Magistrate Xing Ju had a second thought, it wouldn't be a big deal. He immediately stabilized his position.
"It's just that … how can everything in this world go according to plan?"
Wu Ming chuckled. Suddenly, his body trembled as he felt a gust of qi descend.
"This … must be the arrangements for the Dragon's Gate Meeting. They have all been activated …"
He opened his spiritual eye and saw the rise in his luck. In fact, the red and white aura was devouring the red aura in an instant. It seemed like his luck was being purified. He couldn't help but smile.
He was the main culprit behind the Serpent Dragon's escape. If he hadn't given the majority to Wu Qing, his luck would have been even greater.
"However … it seems like the White Serpent Dragon didn't do anything evil. Otherwise, it wouldn't be luck but the wrath of the heavens …"
Wu Ming smiled, "The Wang Family's wishful thinking was to achieve great things through the Dragon's Gate Meeting. But now … not only did they not reap what they expected, they even made an enemy out of themselves. I wonder what expression Wang Zhong has on his face … "
Although luck wasn't everything, the Wang Family didn't have the upper hand. Their luck was underestimated and the probability of something bad happening had increased.
Rumble!
Thunder rumbled and in an instant, there was a storm.
Wu Ming suddenly looked in the direction of the Dragon's Gate Gorge, "This … the water dragon is moving. It's going to ascend to the Deity Throne …"
