There was a series of sharp sounds piercing the air, the blessed talisman arrows pierced the night sky like lightning, and there were countless other bow and crossbow arrows that came off the string at the same time.
Mr. Huaiming moved his palms, and a ball of flames gathered and solidified in his chest. Then he spread his arms and turned into a raging wave of fire. With a chilling sound of dragon roar, it blocked countless arrows.
The arrow branches instantly turned into flying ash, and the arrow clusters melted into hot red molten iron, scattering into the wilderness in bits and pieces.
"The leader of the thieves is here!"
After easily blocking the arrow rain offensive, Mr. Huaiming heard a loud shout in the distance. In the dim night, dozens of magic weapons could be seen flying towards the naked eye. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and with ten fingers of both hands, a dense rain of fire shot out.
.
"Be careful, get out of the way!" The monks who came to pursue him exclaimed repeatedly. Every spark may seem tiny, but it contains the terrifying power of melting gold and burning stone. Even if you use your true energy to protect your body, it may still be swallowed up by the flames.
ignite.
The pursuing monks dispersed, but they did not panic. On the contrary, they were quite methodical and formed a formation. A hazy wave of water spread above, like a large bowl turned upside down, trying to cover Mr. Huaiming in it.
Mr. Huaiming snorted coldly, without saying anything. He moved his sword fingers together, and flames spurted out from his fingertips, condensing into the shape of a sword. Mr. Huaiming jumped up, and the two swords twisted out, and the water wave bowl cover broke with the sound.
It was like an inflated bubble, exploding into water droplets and hot mist all over the sky.
However, the scattered water droplets reflected colorful light, and for a moment it seemed as if he was in a world of glass. Mr. Huaiming's five senses were suddenly confused. He immediately understood that this was a profound illusion. The opponent had already planned it, and he had figured out his own fighting habits.
, deliberately set up this plan.
"Go!" With a sharp shout, dozens of talisman lights rushed over, bringing with them a chilling feeling, blocking all Mr. Huai Ming's escape routes.
With a sudden explosion, a large cloud of cold ice enveloped the sky, a technique that could freeze a group of rhinos and elephants into ice sculptures, concentrating all the power on Mr. Huai Ming.
The ice clouds circled endlessly, gradually condensing into an iceberg two to three feet high, and fell heavily to the ground.
"It's frozen! We have captured the leader of the rebel gang!" A monk impatiently stepped forward and said.
"Don't come close!" But suddenly a ball of fire flickered in the iceberg. Before he could react, the entire iceberg collapsed and tongues of fire spewed out in all directions.
Those monks who were closer were killed on the spot. They were first beaten to pieces by flying ice and then completely devoured by ruthless flames.
A few monks had good foundations and did not die immediately, but their souls were burned by the Danling True Fire. They could not extinguish it no matter what. It was useless to roll on the ground and they had to endure the pain of the real fire burning their bodies.
"Phantom Wave True Technique, Donghai Ice Wheel, if you have any other tricks, just use them."
Mr. Huaiming's eyes were shining brightly, and his beard and hair were dancing in the shape of flames. When he raised his feet and took steps, he left behind a string of scorched footprints, and the flames lasted for a long time.
None of the chasing monks dared to step forward. At this time, a burst of laughter came from the distance: "Mr. Huaiming is worthy of being the best in fighting skills in Chiyun City. How can such juniors be your opponents? I'm a poor Taoist from the East China Sea, Taixia. I'm here specially."
Learn Mr.’s wonderful method!”
Just as he finished speaking, he saw a jade-faced Taoist, wearing a dark green robe of crocodile silk and holding a crystal coral branch, flying over in the sky. His whole body was shining with light in the dark night, which showed his superb cultivation.
"Pretending to be a ghost." Mr. Huaiming said coldly. Taixia Taoist opposite didn't mind. He gently shook the coral branch in his hand, and a scene of vast blue waves suddenly appeared in mid-air. It seemed that it was about to fall over thousands of hectares of sea water, suppressing it with irresistible momentum.
Mr. Huai Ming's ability to control fire.
Mr. Huaiming showed no fear on his face, and his fighting spirit was rising. He was about to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop when he heard a message in his ear:
"The grain robbers on the other side have left, it's time for you to retreat."
After hearing this, Mr. Huaiming did not take any initiative on his own. With a push of his palms, the fire dragon roared into the sky and rushed towards Taoist Taixia.
"Well done!" Taixia Taoist said falsely, and the sea water poured down from the sky. It was more violent than the flood breaking the embankment. The fire dragon was immediately smashed into countless sparks, and was annihilated in the majestic waves.
But Taoist Taixia immediately noticed that Mr. Huaiming turned around and fled, turned into a bolide and headed straight to the southwest, and concentrated his attack on the empty space.
"You cowards, are you running away now?" Taoist Taixia was about to pursue, when suddenly a monk came to tell him: "No! We just learned of the emergency military situation. The granary in Yujin County was robbed. General Hussar asked us to return immediately.
Defend!"
"What? Yujin County?" Taixia Taoist looked at the direction in which Mr. Huaiming was fleeing and said angrily: "Tune the tiger away from the mountain and attack the east and the west! Is it no wonder that Mr. Huaiming personally went out to lure us away so that they could successfully rob the food?"
"
"What should we do now? Continue to pursue the leader of the rebel gang?"
"What are you chasing? Aren't you afraid that the other party has set up an ambush in advance?" Taoist Taixia said with an ugly face: "After this defeat, the junior of the Luo family will probably take the opportunity to make a fuss again, so we need to make more preparations."
…
Mr. Huaiming fled quickly and arrived at the rendezvous where they had secretly met. He saw dozens of grain transport ships docked on the shore and soldiers carrying bags of grain ashore.
"Are you injured?" Mr. Zhan Ming came from the side and saw many damaged clothes on the practitioner's body.
"It's okay." Mr. Huaiming looked as usual: "We bumped into the new Taixia Taoist. He can gather the water of the East China Sea. He is the most restrained towards us and is difficult to deal with."
"Although the food robbery went smoothly this time, the other party will probably step up their defenses and act like a feint attack. They may not be able to carry out the attack in the next few days," said Mr. Zhan Ming.
Mr. Huaiming turned around and looked to the north: "I have received news that in order to requisition grain and grass, civil uprisings broke out in several counties in Huaxu State. I have sent people to contact and inquire."
"I don't think there will be any results." Mr. Zhan Ming shook his head and said, "In the past ten years, we have been making slow progress in the north. In order to prevent us from having contact with the north, the court of Huaxu State established a large-scale Baojia Lianzuo. Once anyone is found to have contact with Chiyun
, neighbors will suffer, and even many unrelated practitioners will be implicated."
Mr. Huaiming sprayed some sparks from his nostrils: "After you fell into Dongshengdu, the person who suggested to the Hunjun to attack Chiyundu was Luo Yi! Now it's just the same old trick!"
"What are you going to do next?" Mr. Zhan Ming asked.
"I want to bypass Hepu County, find the enemy's weak points and stab them, and test them," said Mr. Huaiming.
"I'm afraid Luo Xixian on the other side thinks the same way." Mr. Zhan Ming reminded: "We currently don't have enough troops. Even if we find a place where the enemy's defense is weak, we must mobilize a considerable amount of troops if we want to expand the results. Such an action will not be able to hide from the north.
."
Mr. Huaiming said slightly troubled: "Is it because of the Xin family father and daughter who are good at predicting the weather? I really underestimate them!"
"Fortunately, senior brother has prepared fire-refined red talismans for you and me to conceal our aura, otherwise we wouldn't be able to move around in several places and appear elusive." As soon as Mr. Zhan Ming finished speaking, there was a warm breeze blowing in the ears of the two of them.
Come, Mr. Jing Ming came with a message from afar:
"Go back to Quartz City quickly. An old friend is visiting."
"Old friend?" The two Huai Ming looked at each other, and after giving instructions to their subordinates, they flew back to Quartz City.
When Huai Ming and his two men arrived at Bihu Manor, they saw a person talking to Mr. Jing Ming. Their appearance was very familiar. It was Zhao Shu.
"Zhao Shu?! Why are you here?" Mr. Huaiming stepped forward quickly, surprised and happy.
"Ashamed." Zhao Shu stood up and saluted: "After leaving the customs, I didn't take the initiative to come to visit the three elders."
"It's okay, as long as you're alive." Mr. Huaiming said straightforwardly.
Mr. Zhanming looked Zhao Shu up and down and nodded in approval: "I haven't seen you for many years. You have made great progress in your cultivation. It's so wonderful."
"It's thanks to the advice of many seniors, and it's also a matter of chance." Zhao Shu replied.
Mr. Huaiming said: "After the separation from Difei Mountain, Duan Zhao did not inform you of your whereabouts in order to ensure your safety. Where are you practicing now?"
Zhao Shu was silent for a moment, and Mr. Jing Ming, who was sitting motionless next to him, said, "Okay, don't rush to ask these questions. Zhao Shu, show them your letter."
"Yes." Zhao Shu looked serious and handed He Qingchen's letter to Mr. Huaiming.
"This is..." Huai Ming and the two were confused. After opening it and reading it, their expressions suddenly changed: "You... this is a letter from the left prime minister of the Xiong Kingdom? How could you deliver a letter to him?"
Zhao Shu could only confess: "I now have another identity, that of Xu Huaiyu, the chief of Xiongguo's Praise Department."
"Are you Xu Huaiyu?" Mr. Zhan Ming couldn't hide his surprise: "No wonder the Xiong Kingdom has been vigorously promoting new systems recently. I originally thought they had found the inheritance of the former praise officer, but I didn't expect it to be you. This is really
…”
Huai Ming and Zhan Ming were both stunned. Although Mr. Jing Ming's eyes were blinded, he was much calmer and calmer. He seemed to have expected it and said: "You must be favored by the left prime minister of the Xiong Kingdom."
Shangjing Zong approves. I heard that the Four Immortals returned to the mountains to retire and did not care about worldly affairs. It must be related to you, right?"
"Not exactly." Zhao Shu replied: "I once had an in-depth discussion with Han Yuanzi, the head of the Shangjing Sect. He believed that the Shangjing Sect was too involved in the world in Youxiong Country, and the many followers who followed it were becoming more and more arrogant, which would become a disaster and they would not be able to move forward.
Follow the footsteps of Chongxuan Hall.
Therefore, the head of Han Yuanzi and the left prime minister He Qingchen overcame all opinions and allowed the Shangjing Sect to withdraw. Xiong Guo made clear the rules and regulations to eliminate the old abuses. And I am the official of praise, which is conducive to the unification of etiquette and law, so I have taken up the post.
Xiong Guo praises the Secretary of Ceremony and spreads the rituals and rituals widely."
"As expected of Han Yuanzi." Mr. Jing Ming nodded repeatedly: "The Shangjing Sect has been passed down for nearly two thousand years. It is not only based on the profoundness of the Three Lights, but also includes the ability to judge the situation and distinguish between misfortune and blessing."
"I just didn't expect that you would choose the Xiong Kingdom." Mr. Zhan Ming asked: "Are you... very disappointed with the current Huaxu Kingdom?"
Zhao Shu lowered his head and said: "According to what I have seen along the way, Huaxu Kingdom has been deficient since its beginning. After experiencing the drastic changes in Dongsheng Capital, it has become even more dilapidated..."
"Don't talk about this yet." Mr. Huaiming interrupted Zhao Shui. He stared at the letter in his hand, raised his forehead and sighed: "You, are you working as a lobbyist for Youxiong Country?"
"I heard that the war in Chiyundu has been difficult recently. There are not enough soldiers and weapons, and even food and grass are difficult to sustain." Zhao Miao's tone was cautious, fearing to offend this fiery senior: "Chiyundu is conquering Wuwu.
"Tao, if the rebel army that asks for life for the people has enough food and supplies, wouldn't it be a blessing to the people?"
Mr. Huaiming looked at Zhao Mi without saying a word for a long time, then sneered and asked: "Who taught you these words? Is that left prime minister He Qingchen?"
"No." Zhao Shu said sincerely: "I just hope to find a way out for Chiyundu. It has been more than a hundred years since Kunlun split the land and divided its borders. Countless lives have perished in this troubled world. If we can settle the disputes as soon as possible and unify Kunlun, there will be peace.
A stable world is also in line with the long-cherished wish of the three seniors."
"But what?" Mr. Huaiming said in a strange tone: "Do we in Chiyun need to obediently hand over our troops and accept the canonization of the Xiong Kingdom?"
Zhao Shu replied: "If the three seniors and the disciples of Chiyundu are willing, they can all be granted official titles. If not, if they want to revive the sect's inheritance, the Xiong Kingdom will also allow it, unlike Chongxuan Hall in the past."
In the name of the Guanshe system, we conquered various sects."
"Look, take a look!" Mr. Huaiming threw the letter back to Zhao Shu and said to the two fellow practitioners: "This tone and tone are almost exactly the same as those of Zhang Duanjing back then!"
Zhao Shu suddenly didn't know what to say. Back then, his teacher Zhang Duanjing persuaded Chiyundu to join Huaxu Kingdom, but the result was not satisfactory. No wonder Mr. Huaiming couldn't accept it.
"I really regret that I saved your life in Difei Mountain." Mr. Huaiming looked angrily: "Even if you can huddle in the mountains for the rest of your life, even if you don't care about worldly affairs from now on, why do you want to do this?"
This set?"
"Junior brother, don't be angry." Mr. Zhan Ming's tone was calm, and he said to Zhao Shu: "We already understand the intention of Xiong Guo's left prime minister, but with all due respect, I'm afraid what he wants is not surrender, but annexation. Letter.
When you mention providing us with soldiers, armor, food and fodder, isn’t it because you want us to continue to contain the Huaxu Kingdom so that the Xiong Kingdom can allocate its energy to deal with Jiuli and Yaochi?”
Zhao Shu couldn't refute the sophistry, because that was what He Qingchen planned, and this kind of thing was not a conspiracy.
"Back then, the Xiong Kingdom couldn't accommodate us. They took advantage of the five kingdoms to eliminate their troops and sent out a large number of troops to press them. With Zhang Duanjing's persuasion, we had to come to the Huaxu Kingdom." Mr. Huaiming said angrily: "It's better now, we look a little bit.
You just want to recruit people because of the momentum? He Qingchen is too wishful thinking!"
Zhao Shu knew clearly that if he hadn't had a past fate with Chi Yun San Lao, it would have been easy for him to be sprayed with blood.
"I understand that seniors are angry, but now the Xiong Kingdom is governed by the Left Prime Minister, which is no better than it was back then." Zhao Shu said: "And the Left Prime Minister is willing to meet with several people in person, and there is no need to go to the imperial capital, which is just southeast of the Xiong Kingdom.
, adjacent to the territory controlled by Chiyundu."
"No, let him drink the northwest wind by himself!" Mr. Huaiming left the table angrily.
Zhao Shu looked downcast. He knew that this persuasion was not easy, so he did not dare to say anything rashly.
"I'm going to persuade junior brother." Mr. Zhan Ming said to Zhao Shui before leaving: "There are some things you haven't experienced yet, so you don't know how difficult it is for others... You don't have to leave in a hurry, just stay with us for a while.
