Qin Qiaoer asked, when outsiders are present, she usually addresses her by her position instead of calling her master.
Qin Shaoyou also put down the information in his hand and looked at Qi Longfei.
Commander Qi did not give in and told everyone present: "According to the news from the pursuing troops, Qingtang has withdrawn its troops directly."
"Retreat directly?"
Qin Qiaoer was somewhat surprised.
Originally, according to the speculations of the generals and counselors in the army, after this defeat, Qingtang would definitely retreat in large strides. Only after the defeated troops were collected, could they stabilize the front, reorganize their troops, fight again, or even make a comeback.
Unexpectedly, they skipped these procedures and ran away directly.
Yu Huyue and the others had originally formulated a series of follow-up battle plans. They wanted to set up pocket formations to lure the enemy deep when Qingtang came back, and give them a hard blow, so that for several years after Qingtang, there would be no chance of a big battle between them.
capital.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and Qingtang ran away directly, making all the preparations made by Yu Huyue and the others useless.
Similarly, Qi Longfei originally wanted to let Qin Shaoyou and the others rest for two more days before setting off, but now that Qingtang was running so fast and easily, he had to let them set off early in order to catch up with the rebels and blend in.
Otherwise, when Qingtang retreats, the defenses at various strongholds and checkpoints will inevitably be strengthened.
Even if Qin Shaoyou and the others were able to sneak in by pretending to be from Qingtang, they would be subject to repeated interrogations, which would increase the chance of being exposed and discovered.
Qin Shaoyou thought about it: "The seventh prince of Qingtang is very decisive. He doesn't look like a newcomer on the battlefield at all, more like an old and cunning fox. I am more and more suspicious that he was given to Jiuzhanque by the old King of Qingtang."
The reason why Qingtang retreated so decisively this time is because the seventh prince was seriously injured and lost two demigods. He was afraid that some disobedient tribe would take the opportunity to cause trouble, and even pretended that he was dead.
Support another prince. If he continues to stay and fight, he is likely to be attacked from both sides. Moreover, there are four demigods on our side, which also makes him fearful. He simply retreats back, one to recover from his injuries, and the other to An Nei.
, and then make a comeback after completely controlling all the tribes in Qingtang and cultivating a new batch of demigods."
Qi Longfei glanced at him, nodded and said: "Yu Shaobao and I think so too, so this time you go to Qingtang. In addition to spying on intelligence, you also need to look for opportunities to instigate internal fighting in Qingtang."
Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer accepted the order and immediately put away the ingredients and supernatural items brought by Qi Longfei.
New dishes and so on can only be made on the way to Qingtang by looking for opportunities.
There is still a lot of equipment from the two Taoist priests Zeng Cong and Tu Huang who have not had time to improve it, but the situation waits for no one, so they can only distribute it to everyone first.
During this process, Qin Shaoyou quickly glanced at the information tortured from the prisoners and discovered that this time they planned to impersonate a small tribe under the Feixiong tribe.
This small tribe was first dispersed by five hundred warriors, and then was killed to pieces by the troops who pursued them out of the city. Even the leaders were captured and captured alive.
Although this leader's status is low, the Flying Bear Tribe is Rikander's confidant. As a small-headed man in the Flying Bear Tribe, he has the opportunity to come into contact with Rikander and all kinds of confidential information.
After an interrogation by Qin Qiaoer and Taoist Qiu Shi, the leader not only explained all his interpersonal relationships, but also clearly explained all the things he had done since childhood.
It's just that time is tight, Qin Shaoyou and the others can only memorize more detailed information after setting off.
Before setting off, Qin Shaoyou asked Taoist Master Qiu Shi to take him to the prison, where he met a small-headed man from the Flying Bear Tribe named 'Dazan', and 'copied' his appearance and figure with a human skin mask.
.
When Qin Shaoyou returned to the tower again, everyone was ready.
When Bai Qingjiang Shuibo and Cai Guizhong saw him coming back, they both volunteered and wanted to go to Qingtang with them, but Qin Shaoyou declined.
"You two are both righteous gods and have your own jurisdictions to be responsible for. I am very grateful that you can come to Qingtang Guard to help this time. If you follow us to Qingtang again, what will happen to Mianyuan County and Baiqingjiang?
As the righteous gods of these two places, your absence from the jurisdiction for a long time is not a good thing for you and the people of these two places. Moreover, you also gained a new batch of ghosts and water messengers in Qingtangwei this time.
Let's take them back to resettle them first. If we encounter danger over Qingtang, we will definitely ask you for help. I hope you can come quickly when the time comes."
Hearing what Qin Shaoyou said, Bai Qingjiang Shuibo and Cai Guizhong could only give up the idea of going to Qingtang together, and told them to be careful along the way. If they encounter danger, notify them immediately, and they will definitely arrive as soon as possible for reinforcements.
This time when they came to Qingtangwei, Bai Qingjiang Shuibo and Cai Guizhong not only harvested a new batch of ghosts and watermen, but also made many contributions. Qi Longfei and Yu Huyue had promised them at the first time that they would do something for them.
They ask for credit.
It is impossible to say that the imperial court really wants to grant them the title of Shuibo River God of several more rivers, as well as the title of City God and Land of several more lands.
Although the canonization by the imperial court may not necessarily bring about a priesthood, it does allow them to legitimately send out officials from the City God's Mansion and Shuifu Mansion to take over the new territory and allow the people in the new territory to build temples and statues. And wait until meritorious deeds are achieved.
, if you have accumulated enough achievements, and then ask Qin Shaoyou to help with the imperial conferment, I believe you will be able to get a new priesthood.
Although Bai Qingjiang Shuibo and Cai Guizhong did not follow Qin Shaoyou and the others, they each sent river crabs, day and night wandering gods and other water and ghost messengers to follow Qin Shaoyou and listen to his orders.
Wei Tu also proposed to go to Qingtang with Qin Shaoyou and others.
He has no priesthood and is relatively free. Moreover, he came out this time to travel around and see what the world is like today.
The Qingtang side was originally one of Wei Tu's destinations, and he happened to be setting off with Qin Shaoyou and the others.
Qin Shaoyou naturally desires to have a demigod accompanying him.
To be honest, if Uncle Bai Qingjiang didn't have the river area to take care of, he would have wished that the other party could follow him all the time and be much tougher in what he said and did.
It's just that Wei Tu's weapons need to be replaced.
In the previous battle, Wei Tu's door panel sword stole the show, but it also attracted a lot of people's attention.
This time when we went to Qingtang, we had to put on makeup to disguise ourselves, but if Wei Tu was still carrying the sword on the door panel, it would be difficult for him not to be exposed.
However, this problem is a trivial matter in Wei Tu's eyes: "This matter is easy to handle. Find me a mace and I will take turns using it. As for my sword, just put it in the Confucian Temple. From now on
Use it again if necessary."
Qin Shaoyou immediately asked someone to find a suitable mace for Wei Tu, and then looked at Gunshan Jun again.
In the previous battles, the Rolling Tiger's rolling charge also stole the show. Coupled with its black and white bear appearance, it was easy to be recognized, so Qin Shaoyou planned to keep him in Qingtang Acropolis.
When I return, I will look for him again.
After listening to Qin Shaoyou's arrangement, Mr. Gunshan suddenly became anxious.
How much merit would we lose if we didn't go to Qingtang?
"I don't need to tumble. As for my appearance, don't you want to put on makeup to disguise me? Just give me one too, won't it?"
Qin Shaoyou smiled hoarsely and said: "No matter how much you put on makeup to disguise yourself, it's impossible to turn you into a human form."
Qin Qiaoer helped Gunshan Lord speak at this moment: "You don't need to turn into a human form, just turn into a brown bear. The totem of the Flying Bear Tribe is a brown bear with wings. As a small-headed man of the Flying Bear Tribe, he has a bear demon beside him.
It makes sense.”
"Yes, yes, it makes sense." Mr. Gunshan nodded repeatedly. As long as he could follow him to Qingtang, he would be willing to pretend to be a golden bear, let alone a brown bear.
Qin Shaoyou thought about it briefly and agreed to accompany Gunshan Jun. It is always good to have more strength.
A group of people immediately put on makeup to disguise themselves and changed their appearance, but they did not rush to change their costumes to avoid being accidentally injured by friendly forces.
Then they bid farewell to Qi Longfei and others, secretly left the city, and rushed in the direction of the retreat of Qingtang's defeated army according to the instructions of the intelligence.
