Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 294 Undercurrent
roar~
The mountain lion, which was guarded by three sharp warriors, roared. Hundreds of [minions] that suddenly appeared from the dark road suddenly stopped and stood quietly in front of everyone.

They were six feet tall, like dead trees, clad in red and black armor with Styx patterns, with hideous ghost masks on their faces, and armed with spears and halberds, looking as dense as a forest.

The head of the guards looked up at the leading ghost general, raised his blade, and said coldly: "White Tiger is doing his job, please don't disturb him, outsiders, please stay away!"

"No fighting is allowed in Fuchun Market. Those who violate the order must pay a fine according to the severity of the offense. Those who fail to pay will be beheaded!"

The Four Symbols Imperial Guards were well-known, but this group of [Minions] trained by [Jiang Minion] did not fall for it. The leading ghost general smashed the spear in his hand, and a ghostly blue ghost fire exploded under the feet of the forty-nine [Minions] who were like twisted old trees.

A biting gale suddenly swept up, and in the frost flowers, cold spear tips appeared and disappeared, and suddenly stabbed at the three people and the tiger.

[Hundred Ghosts Yinfeng Formation·Yellow Spring Spear! ]

"Insanity!"

The head of the guards had his eyes wide open in anger, and two of his brothers beside him, whose zodiac signs belong to the same Seven Stars of the White Tiger, drew their swords in unison. The star power rose from their bodies, and they were as murderous as dragons and tigers. Soon they turned into three illusory star shadows whose faces could not be seen clearly.

Roar!
The tiger summoned up its might, and its two hind legs suddenly kicked the ground with a dull sound. With the force, it leaped in front of the three people.

The three White Tiger Guards moved their feet and retreated to the right side of the tiger, then slashed with their swords together, causing the three illusory star shadows on the other side to do the same. In just a blink of an eye, the army formation took shape, and a huge illusory white tiger quietly overlapped and merged with the huge tiger in the front!

【White Tiger Seven Kills! 】

Instantly, the tiger's eyes shone brightly, the tiger stripes all over his body turned silver-white, and the word "King" in the middle of his forehead looked even more domineering.

The heart of a mountain spirit was beating violently, and the muscles, bones, and fascia of the whole body were vibrating at high speed driven by the star power.

All the essence, energy and spirit in his body were gathered and compressed to the extreme, like the singularity at the beginning of the universe. The next moment, this big pill of energy and blood exploded again, driving the tiger claws with unparalleled power to hit the Yin soldiers' gun formation.

Bang!
The evil spear broke, the negative energy dissipated, and the tiger claws that sparkled with starlight smashed the Yellow Spring Ghost Spear formed by hundreds of [minions] with one strike.

The natural spirits have huge blood and energy, and the three fires in their bodies are much more vigorous than ordinary humans of the same level. Especially the mountain king in front of him is a war beast specially raised by the [White Tiger Guards] for military banquets.

At the request of the Four Symbols Imperial Guards, this mountain king gave up the opportunity to refine his horizontal bones and transform into a human form, and put all his skills into his muscles, bones, skin and flesh. It can be said that even if it faces a mountain and sea beast with a similarly strong body, it has the confidence to defeat it with its claws and teeth alone.

At this time, facing the [minions] who were knocked all over the place, the tiger growled, and the silver-white star power turned into claws, which slowly extended on the nails and stood in the air at the front of the ghost general's neck.

"You've suffered so much, why don't you just get out of here?!"

The head of the guards glanced at the [minions] filled with black air, and knew the priorities, but he had no intention of wiping out all these ghosts in other people's territory.

After all, these [minions] are actually [river minions] and [water minions], not [tiger minions] driven by the tiger demon in [being the tiger's minions], and cannot be restrained by it. Once tens of millions of ghosts swarm over, the three of them and the tiger are not as powerful as their own army leader, and it would be bad if they ruined this trip.

"Since the captain has said so, why don't you leave immediately?"

The leading ghost general wanted to struggle, but suddenly he heard a light shout, so he quickly changed his posture and led the remaining [combat soldiers] to disappear into the dark road.

"Are you the chef who feeds these ghost soldiers behind the scenes?"

The head of the guards looked towards the alley entrance, where a young man in fancy clothes had appeared at some point, and the light shout just now was made by this man.

This young man looked no different from the dandies he usually saw in the capital, with fair skin and handsome features. If there was any difference, it was that the koi carp embroidered on his gorgeous clothes was quite lively, like a living creature.

I don't know where we found the embroiderer who has such skills.

Just as the tiger stepped back into the [Small Three Elements Formation of Heaven, Earth and Man] of the [White Tiger Guard], the young man in gorgeous clothes had already walked under the plaque of [Shepherd the World].

"It's not really an offering. I just feel sorry for these drowned ghosts and offer them a chance to be reborn."

The young man in fancy clothes looked at the Gaoyang Lane behind the door, which had almost become a ruin, and waved his hand: "It's a pity that such a nice house and property is ruined, but since this ghost market will no longer exist in ten days, it doesn't matter. Captain, when Brother Cha finishes the important matters, please go to Chunjiang Tower to have a chat."

After saying this, the young man in fancy clothes didn't care whether the head of the guards would relay his words or not. He opened the folding fan in his hand and walked leisurely towards the alley entrance.
-
Xin'an Lake, Qiantang Water Palace.

"Little perch boy, you loach thief, get out here right now for your grandpa carp!"

In front of the tightly closed Qiantang Water Palace, [Red Carp Dragon] was leading his 3,000 carp soldiers to bang on the vermilion lacquered bronze door, making a deafening noise.

There was dead silence in the water palace, and after waiting for a long time, no one came out to talk.

"wrong!"

Seeing this, [Red Carp Dragon] also discovered something was wrong, and immediately took off the two eight-petal copper hammers hanging from his waist. The veins in his arms bulged, and the blood in his body surged. In a few seconds, he smashed the vermilion copper door open.

"Children, search for me!"

[Red Carp Dragon] gave an order, and three thousand carp soldiers filed in through the gap, determined to thoroughly investigate the water palace.

After a long time, a carp with pale golden scales, tail and whiskers came up to the Red Carp Dragon and blew out bubbles: "My king, there is no monster in the palace, but the meat and vegetables in the dining palace are still fresh and not stale. I think the evil thieves who occupied the water palace left not long ago."

"Strange, strange, how did these thieves know that I was going to come to my house to settle accounts with them?"

[Red Carp Dragon] sat in the commander's seat that he hadn't been in for a long time, stroking the nanmu armrest with his right hand: "Could it be that they also guessed that the young master was going to rest here, so they were afraid and defected to another place early?"

He stood up and turned around twice, the more he thought about it, the more he believed it was true.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't I become the thief who occupied the Water Palace in the eyes of the young master?!"

[Red Carp Dragon] slammed his fist, took a big step forward, and was ready to lead the carp soldiers back home.

At this moment, a strong water element wave came from the surface of the river, followed by Tuo Mo's low voice that spread across most of the lake.

"Where is the head of Qiantang Water Palace? The Third Young Master and the Fourth Young Lady have arrived, why don't you come out to greet them?"

"Xiaoli is coming right away, right away!"

What you fear will come true. [Red Carp Dragon] didn't care about much at this time. After fiddling with his armor a little, he led several of his most capable confidants and rushed out of the water palace.

Outside the gate of the Water Palace, four men and women of different appearances and with different demeanors were looking at the new hammer marks on the vermilion bronze door, each with their own guesses in their minds.

"Look at this behavior. Did the guard of Qiantang Water Palace forget to bring the key when he went out to lock the door, so he just broke open the door?"

The man from Luofu Mountain, dressed in a black robe, crossed his arms and took the initiative to tell some unfunny jokes.

"My uncle hasn't been home for a long time. I'm afraid something has happened to him. General Tuo, please be careful."

Ao Ling frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes moving as she looked at the prominent and inky-black General.

"Miss, don't worry. I have men here. Even the great water monster with three thousand years of cultivation can't hurt you two at all." Tuo Mo bowed, revealing thousands of crocodile dragons of various sizes with short snouts and long bodies behind him.

The smallest of these alligator dragons has a hornless dragon head, four short claws, a body five meters long, and a back and tail covered with black scales.

The two largest ones were hundreds of meters long, with black gold body color, and their imposing manner was no less than that of the [Red Carp Dragon] that had shed its dragon body.

"Young Master, Princess, General, Xiaoli is late, Xiaoli is late!"

General Li rushed out of the door and reached out to hug the thigh of Yunmeng Young Master Ao Tao.

"Stop, General. Don't perform such a grand ceremony."

Ao Tao, who had rarely eaten and drunk enough and temporarily recovered to normal, shook his head, stretched out his hands to help General Li up, and said in a gentle voice: "Let me ask you, what happened to my uncle's family that is so damaged?"

"Young Master, you don't know that since a hundred years ago, Master..."

After listening to General Li complaining and explaining the whole story, Ao Tao nodded slightly and pointed to the [General's Order] hanging on his waist.

"It's not that I don't believe you, General, but my father once said that most one-sided statements in the world are evasive. To know the details, we still need to see solid evidence."

"Young Master, please do as you please."

General Li hoped that someone could prove his innocence through mysterious means, so he hurriedly presented the [General's Order of Qiantang Water Palace].

"Little sister, I have to trouble you again for this matter."

Ao Tao took the [General's Order] and smiled at Ao Ling, who had the least experience in the field.

As for why he, who had the deepest cultivation, did not do it himself, it was not because he was lazy and did not want to put in the effort, but because his bloodline was mixed and not pure enough, so he was unable to fully explore the various information recorded in the [General's Order], so he had to hand it over to the only true dragon in the field.

"You're welcome, brother."

Ao Ling took over the [General's Order], and with a slight move of his jade hand, he immediately drew a cloud-shaped water pattern in the air that looked like a dragon or a phoenix flying in the air, and then inserted it into the blue-gray token.

All the information recorded about General Li's actions over the past few decades turned into a blue light and shot into Ao Ling's brow, and was screened one by one by the true dragon soul that was far superior to that of ordinary people.

After a long while, Ao Ling put down the token and nodded to Ao Tao: "Brother, what the general said is true. Those generals and commanders have indeed betrayed their family and have been causing trouble everywhere, doing evil in Qiantang for decades."

"I don't know where these evil beasts got the news that you were coming to the Water Palace in person, so they fled a few days in advance. Now they are nowhere to be found, and you have lost face for nothing."

Seeing that his words had been confirmed, General Li straightened his chest and patted the hammer on his waist: "Little Li is willing to gather all his men to fight against rebellion for the young prince and eliminate the unhealthy trends!"

"We cannot ignore this kind of thing happening at home. How about this, General Tu, you send a part of your troops to help General Li capture the rebels."

Ao Tao thought for a moment and added, "Be careful, don't let the thieves get away."

Tuo Mo nodded and instructed a crocodile dragon that was over a hundred meters long, "Tu Wu, take two thousand men and search Qiantang thoroughly. We must find something!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ao Ling handed the [General's Order] back and gave General Li a helpless look.

"If I were more advanced, I could monitor and explore the water element and earth energy of the entire Qiantang River, and those evil obstacles would definitely be exposed. But now I have to trouble you two."

"Princess, that's not the case. It's Xiaoli's blessing to be able to work for Princess Shaojun. How can it be hard work?"

General Li carefully glanced at the two thousand alligator dragons behind Tuwu, suppressed his surprise, and hurriedly and respectfully led everyone into the water palace to rest.

"Young Master, Princess, I wonder who this person is? Does he have any preferences for houses and other things? Xiaoli can also arrange them."

"This is a native of Luofu Mountain. He is a 3,000-year-old viscount and a seventh-rank water official. He is responsible for hosting the banquet I need for my dragon transformation. As for his preferences."

"Just some peace and quiet, nothing else."

The man from Luofu Mountain, who had been calm and composed before and had not spoken a word to interfere in the affairs of the Shuifu family, smiled carefreely and waved to General Li.

"So what would you like to eat, young master?"

"I will personally take care of the meals for the next few days, so you don't have to worry about it."

Ao Ling took the [Fresh Cage] from Tuo Mo and waved it towards General Li.

"The little carp retreated first."

"and many more."

When General Li looked up, he saw that it was the mysterious man from Luofu Mountain who called him.

"But I would like to ask the general to move his legs and feet, issue a reward notice in the Qiantang waters, and buy up the five kinds of aquatic freshwater, namely river freshwater, lake freshwater, well freshwater, and seafood, which are rare and precious enough, and save them for the banquet."

"I understand. Xiaoli will do it right away."
-
Qiantang River area, estuary.

On the pitch-deep seabed are piles of human bones.

Several evil dragons and demons were lying among the skeletons, stirring the water waves wantonly and plotting something loudly.

Swallowing river perch dragon Guanren, poisonous loach dragon Zhujian, phantom sea dragon Ao Jisun, mirage dragon Pi Gou Zhan
Every evil dragon here has at least two thousand years of cultivation (Eight Extremes). Although none of them can defeat the [Red Carp Dragon] alone, if two or three of them join forces, the [Red Carp Dragon] can only barely hold on with the help of its thick skin and scales. If all of them rush forward, they are confident that they can eat even the legendary Young Master Yunmeng!
"Loach, why hasn't the chef you hired come yet?"

Huan Hai Long Ao asked.

The poisonous swamp loach dragon picked up a piece of meat from an unknown creature from the food plate beside it, slid it down his throat, and then slowly said, "According to the time, it is indeed almost time. But he said before that he was missing a material, I guess he went to look for it, right?"

"Old turtle, have you arranged the formation I asked you to set up? Don't let our brothers not die in the mouth of the glutton but be taken advantage of by the minions under Tuo Mo."

Swallowing River Bass Dragon said in a muffled voice.

After hearing the question from the perch dragon, the Phantom Sea Dragon Ao used its claws to wake up the Mirage Dragon Viper next to it: "It all depends on whether the Mirage Dream can pull the Taotie into the Phantom Sea Mirror Realm. If the fish doesn't fall into the trap, what's the use of all the old turtle's tricks?"

"I have never seen the chef's skills with my own eyes, so I dare not speak rashly."

"Mirage Dragon, the chef you asked for is here!"

Before the Poison Swamp Loach Dragon finished its words, a black crystal snake that was not much smaller than them dived from the sea. Above it stood a member of the Liao royal family, Yelu Yaoshinu!
