Zhang Yu looked at Zhu Xuan and said, "I have something I would like to ask Zhu Xuan. Based on Zhu Xuan's opinion, is Ancestor Yuan Tong's appearance here of his own volition or is there someone behind him?"
Previously, it was the Jinliang Cauldron's failure and now it was Ancestor Yuan Tong's appearance. He did not believe that this matter was completely unrelated.
Among them, the one with the greatest suspicion was none other than Lord Baixiu.
This person was once a disciple of that superior cultivator and also learned under Zhu Xuan. However, he was later chased out by Zhu Xuan. Zhu Xuan most likely knew something about this.
Zhu Xuan said, "I know what Xuan Zheng wants to say, but there are many things behind this matter. If Xuan Zheng can advance further, he will naturally understand."
At this moment, he raised his hand and pressed on the Absolute Sky Gauze. Bursts of bloody and foul aura floated up. After a while, what was left was a transparent and warm crystal gauze, as if there was nothing there.
He stretched out his hand and the gauze floated towards Zhang Yu. He said, "I have already cleansed the foul Qi from this gauze. Previously, I took back the Azure Sun Wheel. I don't think Xuan Zheng has any suitable magic weapon. This gauze has some power, why don't you take it and use it?"
Zhang Yu immediately understood that Zhu Xuan did not want him to ask any more questions, so he simply gave this gauze to him.
However, if Zhu Xuan did not want to say anything, no one could force him to. Combined with what Zhu Xuan said last time, it could be that Lord Bai Xiu was related to someone in the Xuanting.
After he thought about it, he cupped his hands and bowed. He did not even take the gauze and turned around to leave the Crane Hall.
Zhu Xuan stood there and did not move for a long time.
After a while, Daoist Ming Shan walked up and cupped his hands. "Head Xuan, Xuan Zheng has already left."
Zhu Xuan said, "Go on my behalf and tell him that some things can be done and some things cannot be done. If he goes overboard, even his teacher will not be able to protect him."
Daoist Ming Shan replied with a 'yes'. After a bow, he retreated.
After Zhang Yu left Xuanfu, he went to Mizar Academy. Before the New Year, in order to guard against Ancestor Yuan Tong, he had been guarding Fangtai Academy and had not returned since then.
Along the way, he was also thinking.
Whether Ancestor Yuan Tong and the loss of the Golden Bridge Cauldron was related to Master Bai Xiu, he must find out. He did not take the gauze just now to express his attitude.
However, the most important thing now was Shuang Continent.
From there he would try to find a clue to the Creators, and find out the truth of the matter. This was because in terms of harm, once the creator had a problem, the damage it could cause was immeasurable.
After a short while, he had returned to Mizar Academy and landed in front of his own golden platform.
Li Qinghe also came out at this time and said happily, "Teacher is back."
Zhang Yu nodded.
Qing Xi heard the sound and hurried out. Seeing Zhang Yu, her face was full of joy. She bowed and said, "Teacher is well."
Zhang Yu looked at the two and said, "I haven't been here for a long time. How have you two been?"
Li Qinghe replied, "Teacher, we've been well recently, especially Qing Shu. After you taught him, his swordsmanship has become more and more outstanding. He has been invited by the academy to be an assistant teacher."
Qing Xi also said, "Qing Xi is also well. I've learned a lot of dishes recently. I'll invite you to taste them later. It's just that you haven't been here for a long time. Qing Xi misses you."
Zhang Yu said, "This time I just came back to take a look. There are still things at Fangtai that need to be resolved. I can only return after this matter is settled. Be careful. If there's anything, you can write to me and let me know."
Li Qinghe said, "We'll remember. Teacher, don't worry. We can take care of ourselves."
Qing Xi nodded.
Zhang Yu stayed in the academy for half a day and tasted some of the dishes that Qing Xi had just learned. The next day, he set off to return to Fangtai's encampment.
He had only been back for two days, but he saw that there were flying boats coming and going in the Tenki-in Hall's encampment courtyard. Obviously, they had begun to rebuild the military barricades.
He thought that the military headquarters might not have confirmed the information he had sent this time. Instead, they might have some new reliance.
However, since Ancestor Yuan Tong had been eliminated, Xuanfu had nothing to do with this place. He didn't pay much attention to it and directly returned to the inner chamber.
This time, after the battle with Ancestor Yuan Tong, he had a lot of ideas and needed to go into seclusion to sort them out.
At the Tenki-in Hall's encampment, they were still cautious in the first few days. After a month, they were completely relieved because they didn't encounter any more accidents.
As their actions sped up, more and more military barricades and boats were erected in the Wilderness, and more and more flying boats came from the military headquarters.
When Zhang Yu came out of seclusion in February, he received news that more than ten thousand people had been stationed in the newly built military barricades.
It was still unknown how many troops would be used in this expedition to the Shuang Continent, but from what he knew, the number of soldiers would be no less than five hundred thousand.
To mobilize so many troops, it would take at least two to three months to prepare for the early stage. When the real attack was launched, it would probably be in May or June.
Therefore, taking advantage of this free time, in addition to cultivating, he would occasionally go to the depths of the Wilderness to try to find some relics that might hide Origin Energy.
On this day, when he returned from outside, the disciple in charge of guarding the Inner Hall came to report that a general of the military headquarters had come to visit a few days ago. Because he wasn't there, he left a letter of greeting.
Zhang Yu let the disciple leave and walked into the inner hall. He picked up the invitation card placed on the table and opened it to take a look. He saw that the name "Cao Du" was written in the place where the name was written. With a thought, he immediately knew the identity of this person.
Under the Green Sun Army, there were three main armies, respectively called "Sharp Strike", "Fierce Strike", and "Fierce Strike". There were also various external armies, which were usually stationed in the various provinces. These were all standing guard, but apart from the main army, they didn't have any titles.
Cao Du had a general of "Sharp Strike", who led the entire "Sharp Strike" army, and had more than twenty thousand elite soldiers under his command.
This person's position in the military headquarters was only below that of the Commandant, and could be considered one of the higher-ups of the military headquarters. This time, the attack on the Shuang Continent would probably be presided over by this person.
In this case, it was necessary to meet him. After all, the attack on the Shuang Continent required cooperation from both sides.
After he took care of some mundane affairs in the Inner Hall, he went through the underground passage to the military headquarters.
The newly built military headquarters was located in the northwest direction of Fang Tai's base, fifty li away from each other. Looking from the sky, this place, Fang Tai, and the Tenki-in Hall formed a triangle.
Because before he came to the military headquarters, he had received a message from Mang Guang, so when he stepped out of the passage, the people of the military headquarters were already waiting there to welcome him.
He could see a group of soldiers standing on the platform, all of them full of energy and standing straight.
The person in the lead was a young man wearing a military robe. Beside him was a beautiful young woman, also wearing a military robe, her gloves pressed on the sword at her waist.
When the young man saw him come out, he smiled and bowed, saying, "Zhang Xuanzheng, long time no see."
Zhang Yu returned the greeting, saying, "So it's Chief Chai. Indeed, long time no see. You've returned to the Sharp Strike Army?"
This Dean Chai was He Mu's teacher, Chai An. Zhang Yu remembered that Chai An used to be a military marquis in the Sharp Strike Army. Later on, he broke military rules and was expelled to teach at Mizar Academy.
Chai An sighed, "Yes, this time it's all thanks to General Cao that I can return to the army." He turned to the side and said, "General Cao is waiting for Xuanzheng in the Inner Hall."
Zhang Yu nodded and followed him along the wide road to the Inner Hall. When he entered the Inner Hall, he saw a man about fifty years old standing there, with many soldiers standing on either side of him.
This man's face was elegant, and he had a beard. He wore a green robe, his skin was slightly rough, and the joints of his fingers were thick. The weapon hanging from his waist was not a sword, but a long mace with a red tassel.
Chai An stepped forward and stood to the side, saying, "Xuanzheng, this is General Cao."
General Cao came forward and saluted, saying seriously, "This one is Cao Du. Xuanzheng greets you."
At this moment, his attitude was very polite, even respectful. This made the surrounding young military officers look at each other in dismay. At the same time, they were somewhat resentful and unconvinced.
Cao Du ignored them and invited Zhang Yu to sit in the Inner Hall. After a few polite words, he brought up the matter of conquering Shuang Continent.
"Thanks to Xuanfu's prior notification, we learned that Shuang Continent is currently fortifying the city. However, we cannot let Shuang Continent continue to build so smoothly. This will definitely increase the difficulty of the army's attack. Therefore, I would like to ask Zhang Xuanzheng to send people to help us attack Shuang Continent."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. This was undoubtedly the correct strategy, so he said, "In a moment, I will send a friend to discuss this matter with you."
Cao Du hurriedly said, "Many thanks, Xuanzheng."
After the two talked for about half the summer, Zhang Yu stood up and said his goodbyes. Cao Du personally saw him off, all the way to the entrance of the military headquarters before returning.
When he returned to the Great Hall, he saw several military officers standing there. He asked in surprise, "Is there something you want?"
At this time, a young military officer came forward and cupped his fist, saying, "General, this subordinate has something I do not understand. Just now, why was General so polite to Xuanfu Xuanzheng, almost, almost …"
Cao Du looked at him and said, "What do you want to say? Say it."
The young military officer gritted his teeth and said, "General's attitude towards this person is almost flattering!" After saying this, he lowered his head, looking like he was at his disposal.
At this time, the hall became so silent that a pin drop could be heard.
Chai An shouted, "Military Officer Lu, you are very daring!"
Cao Du, however, waved his hand.
As one of the higher-ups of the military headquarters, he had also come from the time of the Turbid Tide. He naturally had some understanding of Xuanfu. However, he also knew that due to various reasons, some of the young military officers below him might not understand.
His attitude was calm as he said, "How I do things, I have my own reasons. As subordinates, you do not need to understand, and do not need to understand. Perhaps you'll understand when you sit in my position one day. But I have to remind you … "
At this point, his tone became more severe. "When we attack Shuang Continent, you all better restrain your little thoughts. Do not ruin my plans, or else don't blame me for using your heads."
