Chapter 131 Xichuan Forest
Chapter 131 Xichuan Forest
The news that Wu Zetian announced that Zhang Cheng was a prince spread throughout Chang'an like a gust of wind.
Zhang Cheng also took advantage of this opportunity to quickly max out the favorability of the Chang'an hero, completed a wishing bottle mission, and gained control of martial arts.
This skill is very powerful. As long as your sight is locked on a device for more than three seconds, you can control it.
After Zhang Cheng acquired this skill, he immediately found Zhong Kui on Suzaku Street.
An experiment was conducted using Zhong Kui.
The effect is pretty good.
Zhang Cheng can control Zhong Kui by using this martial art, but the process of control requires consumption of mental energy.
It is fine to control a single mechanical device, but once the number exceeds the limit, the control time will be greatly shortened.
After becoming the Prince of Heluo, Zhang Cheng did two more things.
First, he took Zhang Liang and Yu Ji to meet Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian was indeed a wise monarch. She did not vent her anger on Yu Ji and Zhang Liang because of Jiang Ziya.
Wu Zetian still had some feelings for her junior brothers and sisters.
After chatting for a while and learning about the abilities of Yu Ji and Zhang Liang, Wu Zetian directly appointed Yu Ji to follow Shangguan Wan'er and serve as a female official in the imperial palace.
Zhang Liang was arranged by Wu Zetian to work in the Dali Temple, and was asked to follow Di Renjie in the future.
Of course, arranging Zhang Liang to be by Di Renjie's side also reflects Wu Zetian's wisdom.
First of all, Zhang Liang is a very smart person and is indeed suitable for working in the Dali Temple. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Liang will definitely become Di Renjie's right-hand man in the future.
Secondly, Di Renjie was deeply trusted by Wu Zetian, so letting Zhang Liang follow Di Renjie was also to let Di Renjie monitor Zhang Liang in turn.
After arranging Zhang Liang and Yu Ji, Wu Zetian had fewer worries.
Seeing that Wu Zetian was very pleased, Zhang Cheng took the opportunity to suggest that Cheng Yaojin should take charge of the Fiery Legion again and lead the troops to intimidate Shu.
Wu Zetian was silent for a moment before agreeing to Zhang Cheng's request.
At the same time, Wu Zetian also appointed Zhang Cheng as ambassador to Wu.
Wu Zetian was preparing to form an alliance with Gongsun Ce, the lord of Wu. Once the alliance was completed, Shu would be firmly controlled by Heluo.
However, it is not easy to form an alliance with Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was also an ambitious man. He should understand that once he formed an alliance with Heluo and Heluo completely controlled Shu, Wu would also be affected by Heluo.
"This time, I found myself a tough job."
Zhang Cheng sighed lightly and his eyes fell on Cheng Yaojin, "Fortunately, Brother Yaojin's problem was successfully resolved."
After hearing what Zhang Cheng said, Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "Brother Zhang Cheng, I will never forget the help you gave me today. If you need me in the future, just let me know. If I frown while helping you, I'm not a human being."
"You're being a bit harsh."
Zhang Cheng waved his hand at Cheng Yaojin and asked, "I will be heading to Wu in three days. I need an assistant. Brother Yaojin, who do you think can help me?"
"Yun Ying!"
Without even thinking, Cheng Yaojin said to Zhang Cheng: "Yunying is a pretty good fighter. If she follows you to Wu, she should be able to protect your safety."
Without waiting for Zhang Cheng to reply, Cheng Yaojin continued, "Tomorrow morning, I will come to the court to advise the empress and ask her to agree to send Yunying to assist you."
Cheng Yaojin is reliable in doing things.
At the morning court the next day, he really suggested to Wu Zetian that she arrange for Yunying to accompany Zhang Cheng to Wu.
According to Cheng Yaojin, Yun Ying was from the Yun family and was a proper lady from a noble family, who could fully represent the virtues of the Heluo people.
Yun Ying could definitely serve as the deputy head of the delegation and assist Zhang Cheng in completing his trip to Wu.
Wu Zetian didn't know much about Yunying, but after listening to Cheng Yaojin's description, Wu Zetian also felt that there was nothing wrong with sending Yunying to Wu, so Wu Zetian waved her hand and directly agreed to Cheng Yaojin's suggestion.
Two days later, Zhang Chengchu and Yun Ying, together with a delegation of more than one hundred people, headed eastward to Shu.
Before leaving Chang'an, Wu Zetian made a promise to Zhang Cheng.
In the near future, Wu Zetian will take good care of her health, and when Zhang Cheng returns from the Three-Point Land, Wu Zetian will cooperate with Zhang Cheng to complete the great plan of having a baby.
Wu Zetian's promise made Zhang Cheng feel better.
Zhang Cheng also has a little more hope for his future life.
Time goes backwards, and it seems like half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
After half a month's journey, the delegation led by Zhang Cheng and Yun Ying arrived at a huge forest.
This huge forest is the Xichuan Forest, which is famous in the King's Continent.
Yun Ying rode on a fiery red warhorse, holding a spear and pointing at the Xichuan Forest, and said, "There are four most famous forests in the King's Continent."
"The Xuanwei Forest is filled with fog. Nine out of ten people who enter it will get lost. The Dream Forest has the most beautiful scenery. Entering it is like entering a dream world."
"There are beautiful elves in the Golden Forest. I heard that the elves, both men and women, are very beautiful."
"Xichuan Forest is most famous for its wild monsters. I heard that there are a total of 100,000 wild monsters in the entire Xichuan Forest."
"Between Shu and Heluo, there is the Xichuan Forest. And there is no road at all in the Xichuan Forest. So as we head east, we will definitely be attacked by many wild monsters. We must be careful and cautious."
As soon as Yun Ying finished speaking, Miyamoto Musashi said, "At the beginning, I landed in Wu by boat, and then went all the way west from Wu to Chang'an alone. I crossed the Xichuan Forest and did not encounter any powerful monsters. So, we don't need to worry too much!"
"Hehe, even if there are wild monsters, they will only become food for us."
After hearing what Miyamoto Musashi said, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but whisper to Yunying: "Yunying, don't worry, if you encounter wild monsters, I will protect you."
"Who needs your protection?"
Yun Ying rolled her eyes at Xiahou Dun and said, "If we fight one-on-one, you may not be my opponent."
Hearing Yunying's words, Xiahou Dun raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? Let's play a little."
"Just play around, or I'll stab you to death with my gun."
"Stop arguing, you two!"
Zhang Cheng waved his hand at Xiahou Dun who was about to speak, and then said, "Listen, there seems to be a roar of an animal in the forest ahead."
When Zhang Cheng finished speaking, everyone listened attentively. After a moment, everyone couldn't help but frowned.
There were indeed roars of beasts in the forest ahead, and the roars came one after another, forming a continuous sound.
Miyamoto Musashi heard this and couldn't help but whisper, "Why does the situation seem a little different from my last time?"
