Traveling through Yuhuatian, the start of the Sunflower Collection is complete

For the next period of time, China was very peaceful.

It seems that except for the Beili Kingdom, other countries did not take the edict issued by the Ming Dynasty to heart, and still went their own way, doing whatever they should do.

On the Ming side, the Ming Dynasty was already making various preparations for the Western Expedition.

Under Yuhuatian's arrangement, the troops in this western expedition were divided into three groups.

The first route was naturally the army headed by the Ming Dynasty.

At Yuhuatian's suggestion, Sun Chengzong served as the commander-in-chief and Sun Chuanting served as deputy commander-in-chief for this western expedition. They led a total of 50 troops to the west to attack the Song Dynasty.

The second route is the Ming Dynasty secret agents led by Jin Yiwei.

Led by Ma Jinliang, Ding Xiu, Cao Shaoqin, Dong Tianbao, Lin Pingzhi and Erdo, they each led a team of troops and secretly sneaked into the territory of the Song Dynasty, cooperating with the military, passing on intelligence to the military, cooperating internally and externally, and jointly destroying the Song Dynasty. Song Dynasty.

The third path is the various sects in the arena.

In the name of Yuhuatian, masters from all the major factions in the Jianghu were summoned to form a Jianghu coalition, and they went out at the same time as the Ming army to invade the Song Dynasty, mainly to deal with the Jianghu forces of the Song Dynasty.

These people are led by Bai Yujing, Xie Xuan, Ye Gucheng, Lianchengbi, A Fei and others.

Of course, Yuhuatian also gave them enough face for the major factions in the world.

Such as the leader of Shenjian Sect Bai Baiyu, the leader of Wudang Zhang Sanfeng, the leader of Supreme Alliance Lei Qianhu, the leader of Sun Moon Sect Dongfang Bubai, the leader of Beggar Clan Su Can, the leader of Shenshui Palace Jellyfish Yinji, the leader of Iron Sword Sect Mu Sang The Taoist priest, Zhuo Donglai, the head of the Big Escort Bureau, and others were all included in the top ranks of the coalition forces.

Bai Yujing and others also gave these people enough respect and did not directly treat them as subordinates.

As for Yuhuatian himself, he had other plans.

His purpose is to sit in the middle of the army and guard against those powerful Hedao realm experts from various countries.

Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens.

He was fully prepared for this western expedition.

Of course, Yuhuatian only made overall arrangements for these matters, and the specific actions were handled by Ma Jinliang and others.

In Yuhuatian's plan, when the Western Expedition is over and China is unified, he will start preparing to break through Hedao, go to the legendary fairyland, and start another journey.

Therefore, he is already delegating power and focusing on cultivating the abilities of Ma Jinliang and others.

Taking advantage of this free time, he rarely relaxed, either going to the back mountain to discuss Taoism with Zheng He and others, or going into the palace to guide the practice of three disciples, Yuan Chengzhi, Wen Qingqing and Zhu Ciyu.

Yuhuatian also attaches great importance to these three disciples, especially the young emperor Zhu Ciyu.

After all, he has no children. After he leaves China, the only thing that can stay in this world, apart from the achievements and legends of unifying China, is his own inheritance.

And Yuan Chengzhi and the other three did not disappoint him.

Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing have only been practicing with him for five or six years, but now they have grown enough to be able to stand alone.

With the help of various natural and earthly treasures, Yuan Chengzhi is only in his twenties, but he has already surpassed the Grand Master, and his swordsmanship has successfully entered the level of the Heart Sword. He is only one step away from perfecting the Heart of the Sword.

Wen Qingqing is a little slower, but he has also reached the peak of the master. His swordsmanship is also at the level of the Heart Sword. Not only has he received various secrets taught by Yu Huatian, but he has also completely inherited the inheritance of the Golden Snake Master Xia Xueyi. He has the Golden Snake Sword Technique. The master is better than the master, and he has far surpassed the original Golden Snake Man.

This can be regarded as Yuhuatian's compensation for Xia Xueyi's death in the line of duty.

Zhu Ciyu is only six years old, but he has also begun to be exposed to various martial arts. His talent is also very good, and his mind is far beyond that of children of the same age.

If this continues, one day he will become an emperor with both civil and military skills.

Everything is going in a good direction.

time flies.

The January period is getting closer and closer.

But just when Yuhuatian came back from the palace and was about to issue the order for the Western Expedition, something unexpected happened.

this day.

Ma Jinliang and others came in a hurry, with solemn expressions on their faces. They cupped their hands towards Yuhuatian and said, "Supervisor, something happened!"

Yuhuatian wondered, what could happen at this time?

But with Ma Jinliang's subsequent narration, Yu Huatian's face suddenly darkened.

Ma Jinliang and others controlled the Jinyiwei and were responsible for sending people to sneak into the Song Dynasty. They also shouldered the responsibility of contacting various factions in the rivers and lakes and forming a coalition of rivers and lakes.

Originally, everything was going according to the original plan, and the various sects had no meaning to the imperial order, and they all agreed to lead their elites to join the army in the westward expedition.

But just seven days ago, a sect suddenly announced that it was leaving the alliance and did not want to participate in the Western Expedition.

The reasons given are also very reasonable.

The head of that sect claimed that he was a small sect and did not want to get involved in this matter, lest he end up in a life-or-death situation.

Moreover, in his opinion, the countries are now stable, the world is peaceful, and the people are living a good life. He does not want the court to start another war, otherwise the people will suffer in the end.

Of course, he mentioned at the end that his words only spoke for himself, and he was a person who spoke lightly and did not dare to discuss government affairs indiscriminately.

But as soon as this statement came out, it spread all over the world very quickly.

For a time, many Jianghu sects also broke away from the alliance, and the reasons given were exactly the same.

Gradually, more and more similar voices sounded.

Even many people among the people agree with this statement and feel that life is very stable now and there is no need to start a war. Otherwise, when the war starts, the court will increase taxes, and they will be the ones who suffer in the end.

The matter is getting worse.

In just a few days, word spread all over the world, and people were talking about it.

In fact, people in many places throughout the Ming Dynasty, instigated by thoughtful people, forcibly attacked the local government and petitioned the court to give up the Western Expedition, recuperate and give the people a way to survive.

The imperial court was roasted on the fire.

Originally, the Jinyiwei people wanted to suppress these remarks first, but later they discovered that this incident spread too fast, and more and more forces and people were involved, and it could no longer be stopped.

By the time the report reached Ma Jinliang and others, it was already too late.

Therefore, Ma Jinliang could only choose to send someone to investigate the source of the matter, and then he came to report to Yuhuatian in person.

After listening to Ma Jinliang's story, Yu Huatian's face became extremely gloomy.

The expedition was about to begin, but I didn't expect that something like this would suddenly happen.

The various factions in the Jianghu who were originally obedient to the imperial court announced their withdrawal from the alliance one after another. Do they not want to participate in the Western Expedition?

Who gave them the courage to rebel against the imperial court?

Moreover, this incident spread so quickly that even the common people began to discuss it and oppose the war?

And who is secretly pushing it?

A series of changes, if no one was behind it, even a fool would not believe it.

This incident was obviously directed at him.

He wanted to launch a Western Expedition to unify China, but some people tried to sabotage his plan and encourage people's support to prevent him from going West?
Yuhuatian looked at Ma Jinliang with cold eyes and said, "How is the investigation going?"

"Still checking!"

Ma Jinliang said in a deep voice: "Now the entire Ming Dynasty is discussing this matter. Regarding the Western Expedition, some people agree and some oppose it, but the majority are still opposed."

"Those common people in various places who are attacking the government must be led by someone behind them. I have already asked someone to investigate."

"There are also those Jianghu sects that broke away from the alliance and have been closely monitored to investigate the reasons for their sudden change of mind."

Yuhuatian nodded and asked, "Have any of the top sects left the alliance?"

"No."

Ma Jinliang shook his head and said: "Most of them are second- and third-rate small forces, such as Shen Dao Clan, Wudang Sect, Supreme Alliance, Beggar Clan and other top forces. There are no problems." Yu Huatian nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief: "This That's normal. If even these top forces are infiltrated, this matter will be really troublesome... huh?"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Huatian frowned and suddenly looked outside.

"Ta Tata..."

There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

Immediately afterwards, a tall figure with a ponytail walked in quickly, and it was Ding Xiu.

At this time, with an extremely anxious look on his face, he came quickly, raised his hands and said, "Supervisor, something happened!"

"I just received the news that Bai Tianyu, the leader of the Divine Sword Sect, suddenly died. The northwest area is in complete chaos!"

Yuhuatian's expression suddenly changed and he stood up suddenly.

"What did you say?!"

Yu Huatian looked ugly and stared at Ding Xiu: "Bian Tianyu is dead?!"

Ding Xiu nodded: "It's an urgent report from our people. There is no problem with the news."

Hearing this, Yuhuatian's face became even more gloomy.

I just thought there would be no problems with these top sects, but unexpectedly something happened.

Moreover, Bai Tianyu was a heavenly being after all, but he died suddenly?

"Has the cause of death been found out?"

Yu Huatian said in a deep voice.

Ding Xiu shook his head: "There is no news yet, but the most likely possibility is that he committed suicide. Although Bai Tianyu is nearly a hundred years old, he has already opened the bridge between heaven and earth. At this age, he can only be considered in his prime. I have never heard of him having any hidden problems before. , so there is absolutely no chance of something going wrong with his body.”

Kill him!

Yuhuatian took a deep breath.

Tian Tianyu is at the third level of Heaven and Human, and with his extreme training in the art of swordsmanship, his strength is even comparable to the fourth level of Heaven and Human, or even the fifth level of Heaven and Human.

A master of this level, even if he faces a master who is a level higher than him, that is, the sixth level of heaven and man, he will never fall if he is afraid of being defeated.

In other words, the person who killed him was at least a seventh-level celestial being, or even a higher-level expert!
Yuhuatian looked at Ding Xiu, and was about to tell him to go and check it himself, when suddenly there were footsteps outside the house.

This time, it was Cao Zhengchun.

"Lord Governor, something happened in the palace!"

Cao Zhengchun's first words made everyone change their minds again.

Yuhuatian frowned: "What happened again?"

Cao Zhengchun looked solemn and said in a low voice:

"At the court meeting this morning, many officials, led by the Minister of Punishment, jointly submitted a petition asking the Queen Mother to consider the difficulties faced by the people and give up the Western Expedition."

"The Queen Mother did not agree, and two of the ministers even crashed themselves on pillars to prove their ambition."

"The matter has become serious, and the empress cannot refuse directly, so she suppresses the matter for the time being. At the moment, the empress is still discussing with Lord Hai Rui and others in the cabinet. She sent an old slave to invite the governor to discuss it."

After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu were both shocked.

Something happened in the DPRK?

And is it also related to this Western Expedition? !
This... is such a coincidence?

Yuhuatian's face also darkened again.

But this time, he didn't speak in a hurry. Instead, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Although the incident happened suddenly, years of training had already made him extremely tough and calm in dealing with things.

Now that something has happened, there is no point in talking about other things. Finding a solution is the most important thing.

"It seems that the enemy this time is really not that simple."

After a long silence, Yuhuatian suddenly smiled: "The Jianghu, the people, and then the court put pressure on me to give up the Western Expedition?"

"Interesting, really interesting!"

Ma Jinliang and the other three looked at each other in confusion.

The expedition was about to begin, and so many changes suddenly occurred, how could the governor still laugh?

Ma Jinliang frowned and said: "Lord Governor, there are still seven days before the Western Expedition. Now that so many changes have suddenly occurred, should the Western Expedition continue?"

"Go on, why not go on!"

Yuhuatian came back to his senses, chuckled, nodded and said: "The plan for the Western Expedition remains unchanged. It is imperative to launch the expedition in seven days!"

"Then Chaozhong..." Cao Zhengchun tried.

Yuhuatian said calmly: "I will resolve the matters in the palace personally."

After saying that, he looked at Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu and said, "You two go ask Bai Yujing and the others to go to the Shen Dao Sect in person to find out the cause of Bai Bai Yu's death and see if the murderer is still in the Ming Dynasty."

"I would like to see who has such great ability and dares to break into and cause trouble under my nose."

Although there are only seven days until the day of the expedition, with the realm of Bai Yujing and others, flying in the air, it only takes a few hours to get to the Divine Sword Sect.

It may take a lot of effort to investigate these things relying solely on Jin Yiwei's manpower.

But when Bai Yujing and others took action, it was naturally much easier.

Since the other party dares not to follow martial ethics and cause trouble from within the Ming Dynasty, then don't blame me for not respecting martial ethics and directly asking Bai Yujing and others to take action.

If the other party knew that these series of changes would lead to the intervention of so many powerful gods, they would be very surprised, right?
A sneer flashed in Yuhuatian's eyes.

"By the way, since something happened to the Shen Dao Sect, I'm afraid the other top sects will not be quiet. Please Bai Yujing and the others split up and go to each sect to take a look."

After explaining, Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes and continued to give instructions.

Just in case, keep an eye out.

Today, the strongest martial arts sects in the Ming Dynasty are the Shen Dao Sect and the Wudang Sect.

Because only these two sects have strong men and women in charge.

But now even the Divine Sword Sect is in trouble.

Other factions may not be safe either.

"As ordered!"

Ma Jinliang and Ding Xiu also understood this truth, and immediately bowed solemnly, then turned around at the same time and left quickly.

Yu Huatian also turned to look at Cao Zhengchun, and said calmly: "Let's go and take a look at these people in the court. Who gave them the courage to go against me, even at the cost of direct collision?" Zhu committed suicide."

"Yes, Lord."

Cao Zhengchun bowed, his heart suddenly calmed down, and he began to mourn silently for those ministers.

At this time, anyone who dares to confront the Governor is either a madman or a fool.

But regardless of whether those ministers are madmen or fools, since the governor personally took action, these ministers will definitely be in trouble.

"Oh...why?"

Cao Zhengchun shook his head and sighed secretly in his heart.

In this world, there is always no shortage of people like this who seek death! (End of chapter)
