Deng Chanyu also met Li Jing's wife, Lady Yin, and learned that she had been pregnant for more than a year.
Console her with a few words: "Don't worry, it's only been a year since you got pregnant. There are still two years ahead of you!"
Legend has it that Nezha is the reincarnation of Lingzi, who was the protector of Nüwa.
Why did the protector of Nüwa, a child of faith, seek refuge under the guidance of Taixing True Master in Jin Guang Cave on Qianyuan Mountain? Does Nüwa have any secret collaboration with Yuan Shi Tianzun? She dare not ask, knowing that the waters are very deep...
Deng Chanyu's current attitude towards the three teachings is to be close to the Orthodox Teaching, but not too close, to keep a distance from the Demon Teaching, while also maintaining a certain degree of personal friendly relations.
...
The dispatch of Yuan Futaong has instantly increased the speed of gathering the troops of Taishang by fifty percent.
Everyone knows that the northern rebel army's defeat is just a matter of time. Why not be enthusiastic about it now? What are you waiting for?
Military matters that previously required endless arguments and repeated discussions can now be resolved with just one order. Commanders and generals throughout the regions are worried that they might arrive too late and miss out on the benefits.
Some have brought their own provisions and brought their armies to participate in the battle without any support from the Taishang court.
Wen Zhong, having rolled around in the mortal world for seventy years, knows that these matters cannot be discussed in detail, so he merely chooses to turn a blind eye.
As long as you can come, the more troops the better!
In the end, more than 300,000 troops were gathered and launched a northern expedition.
The Deng family's achievement in capturing Yuan Futong was too great, and if they kept on winning victories, other generals would start to have complaints. As Deng Chanyu also didn't want to participate in the battle, it was convenient to let the Deng family stay behind to cooperate with Li Jing in guarding the pass and to oversee the supplies. The remaining large army would then set off towards the north in grandeur to sweep away the feudal lords of the northland.
...
The seven dozen feudal lords in the north suffered consecutive defeats. Most of the territory they had previously swallowed was regurgitated, and it allowed Taisheng Master Wen to relieve the besieged city of Chong, rescuing the Prince Chong of the North who had been trapped for more than two months.
The feudal lords of the north gathered at Yuan Futong's headquarters, Binzhou.
Many of the feudal lords, with bizarre appearances and sinister auras, gathered around a young man wearing a silver helmet and white armor.
The young man was composed and held a cup of clear tea, seemingly deep in thought.
"Great Son, it was not easy to establish the master's empire. Now, only you, the Great Son, can come out and stop the soldiers of the merchants!"
"Yes, Yuan's son, as long as you stand up, who would dare not submit? Old Huang will take care of him for you!"
"The young man with the silver helmet asked, "Are all of you willing to listen to me?"
"Yes!"
"What I say, you all willingly listen?"
"Will, will!"
The man in the silver helmet said casually, "You know, I was thinking of taking you all to accept the government's reconciliation offer?"
"Reconciliation, what kind of reconciliation do you want? You fool has been thinking about seeking reconciliation ever since you came back from Meishan!" The large man, with a pot-bottom face, scolded angrily.
Before he could finish his words, a bolt of Qing iron rod shot out like a comet. The big man's bridge of nose, face, muscles and bones were all shattered. The iron rod pierced a hole in his face and flew out over ten meters away, stuck into the wall on the side like a dart.
The body of the big man hung on the wall, his limbs twitched twice, and brain matter, blood, and white bones scattered on the ground. The young man in the silver helmet and white armor had his right hand stretched out horizontally, maintaining the posture of throwing the iron rod.
The calm expression beneath his face concealed a torrent of fury, his eyes radiating an icy killing aura, no one among the northern feudal lords dared to look directly at him.
"I had no intention of getting involved in your mess, and I don't care about the old man's life or death. But I can't stand by and watch you idiots lead the last elite of the demon tribe to their deaths! Just one 'common girl' from the Great Shang has captured the old man and all the elite, and you still think that the Great Shang is weak and can be bullied? Do you have any brain?"
He addressed the other feudal lords, "Today, I will assume the position of generalissimo. Regardless of how you all feel inside, you must follow my orders. First, we will fight against Wen Tai Master for two battles. After you know that we are not to be messed with, I will send someone to discuss the matter of amnesty. Amnesty is not surrendering. The government will definitely divide the north and let us govern it ourselves."
Hearing that they could still retain their original territory, the feudal lords' resistance to amnesty reduced significantly.
Yuan Hong practiced in Meishan, where he had seven sworn brothers, each of whom was an extraordinary martial artist and an experienced master of the demon tribe.
It's definitely more convenient for the old brothers to do things.
"King Daisheng."
"General."
"I order you to lead 5,000 troops to Chentang Pass, and retrieve the corpses hanging on the gate."
Yuan Futong was slain by the Golden Dragon's Claw and his head was sent to Chaoxia, while his body remained at Chentang Pass.
This is the body of the rebel leader; a grand burial is out of the question. Therefore, Master Wen ordered Li Jing to hang the headless body on the city tower for public display.
The headless body has been hanging on the city tower for over two weeks now, and there are many soldiers guarding Chentang Pass. Li Jing himself is also a Taoist master, and he wants to steal the body back, which is quite difficult.
King Daisheng was a cow demon, and his nasal tone was quite pronounced. At this moment, he nodded vigorously in agreement, immediately accepting the order to lead troops, moving during the day and hiding at night, towards Chentang Pass.
...
Deng Chanyu's daily routine is to cultivate. She occasionally goes to Jizhou City to chat with Ji girl, and helps the army supply provisions.
This is not an official position of the Great Shang, but rather a role similar to that of an advisor or assistant to Master Wen.
Here we must once again mention Yang Jian.
In the original timeline, Yang Jian frequently engaged in such activities. He would often go to the rear to oversee supplies. When he encountered strong enemies on the front lines and Ji Sheng Jiang felt he could not defeat them, nor could he face his pride to seek help from his martial arts school, Yang Jian would jump out from some obscure corner, quickly eliminate the enemies in three or four moves, and then return to continue overseeing supplies. It was unclear whether Master Jiang valued him or not......
Today, after overseeing the grain supplies, Deng Chanyu returned, and as soon as she entered the pass, she noticed something unusual.
The city walls were full of the marks of large stones, and the city's buildings had collapsed half of them. Even Li Jing's general's mansion was surrounded by a sea of fire.
Lady Yin, Li Jing's wife, knelt on the ground and had cried herself into a mess. Upon seeing Deng Chanyu, it seemed as though she had held onto her last lifeline, holding her big belly and ran over.
"Ah, Miss Deng, please, please save my husband! My husband was abducted by a group of people, and they said they would... they would dismember him... It's been over an hour now!"
This person does have some composure, and although she is in a state of panic, her words are still relatively organized.
Deng Chanyu frowned slightly and asked carefully, "Who was it? In which direction did they go?"
Lady Yin frowned, thinking hard, "It seems to be someone named Jin Dasheng. They went in the northwest direction towards Chentang Pass!"
"Okay, my sister-in-law, rest assured. I will definitely save back Li brother."
With the Mountain and River Seclusion Map in hand, Deng Chanyu's courage is remarkable.
She asked about the characteristics, number, and weapons of the enemy, and this time she didn't ride a horse, using Fire Transformation to pursue them.
Fire Transformation is extremely fast, and the Qing Yang True Fire adds a touch of divinity to the ordinary Five Elements Escape Technique.
Following the faint traces left along the way, she swiftly moved through the flames. Not long after, she caught up with the group that had abducted Li Jing.
These must be soldiers of the northern feudal lords. How did they cross the three lines of defense set up by Master Wen and run all the way to Chentang Pass?
Deng Chanyu stopped Fire Transformation in the middle of the road, revealing her figure, and over a thousand people stared at her.
She quickly searched and found Li Jing locked in a prison cart, the bad news being that he was mostly exhaling with little inhaling, but the good news was that he was still alive.
"Who is Jin Dassheng?" Deng Chanyu held her spear vertically and asked.
A robust man with a full beard and holding a triangular broadsword roared, "I am Jin Dassheng!"
Deng Chanyu: (...)
What's wrong with you? Can't you speak properly? Why are you shouting like that? Is this some kind of manic disorder?
