General Wei returned to the Chinese army's tent with rain all over his body. The soldiers came forward to take off his armor. Another officer, Chang Shi, came and held a letter in his hand and said: "General, we have just received an urgent report that the Southwest Flying Leopard has been captured." The thieves seized it!"
"Feibaokou?" General Wei had heard countless bad news these days, and he still couldn't help but said angrily: "What does Shen Huai do for food? I gave him more than two thousand people! If Feibaokou is lost, there will be chaos around Yuyang County. There is no danger to defend!”
"Colonel Shen, he died." Chang Shi lowered his head and said, "Half of the body...was recovered."
Thunder rumbled outside the tent. General Wei was stunned on the spot. He didn't even take the cloth handed to him by his own soldiers to wipe his face. He frowned and thought for a moment: "I know, you can handle the funeral. Is there any other news?" ?”
Chang Shi handed over a letter: "This is sent by someone from Zhao Fu, saying that there are Chiyundu troops deployed inside."
General Wei hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully. When raindrops fell on his face, he took the cloth to wipe his face.
"Sure enough!" General Wei slapped the letter: "I noticed earlier that the strength of the bandits has been greatly reduced, and even the rebels have to risk their lives to come to the battlefield in person!"
Chang Shi couldn't help but ask: "General, Zhao Fu is not on the front line, how can he know such important military information?"
"Zhao Fuli can summon ghosts and gods. He also said it in his letter, which is to ask the ghosts and spirits of Xingluo County to spy on the enemy." General Wei came to the map, arranged the chess pieces according to the letter, and looked at it for a round. He banged his fist on the table and said angrily: "What a pity! If the Chiyun gang hadn't come up with this Laoshizi Divine Sword, with this letter, within three months, I would have been able to kill all the bandits without leaving any trace behind!"
Chang Shi said: "In this case, why not ask Zhao Fu to come to the front line to help?"
"No, he said before that he is currently preparing for the ritual ceremony just to deal with that divine sword." General Wei paced back and forth, and then said to Chang Shi: "Draw up a letter for me and send it to Liang of Chongxuan Hall. Young Master, tell him that now that the Divine Sword has been born, it is difficult for other monks to deal with it, so he, Young Master Liang, must come forward to help! Remember, your tone must be sincere, and don’t say that I ordered him to come!”
Chang Shi said that he was retreating. Before General Wei could sit down and take a breath, Luo Xixian entered the account again. Rain kept dripping from the edge of his armor.
"General, I have just killed the bandit Qingqi and captured a few alive!" Luo Xixian said.
"Oh? Bring it in!" General Wei waved his hand.
A moment later, three thieves were escorted into the tent and their hands were tied tightly with hemp ropes. Each of them was injured. One of them saw General Wei and opened his mouth to spit. Luo Xixian moved very quickly and stepped forward and slapped him.
"When General Wei asks questions, you must answer truthfully!" Luo Xixian shouted angrily.
A dark-skinned bandit smiled lightly and said: "We have nothing to say, kill us quickly and save some food for you."
Just as Luo Xixian was about to scold him, General Wei said, "I'll just ask...Whose subordinates are you?"
"Chiyundu, Mr. Yang Liu." The black-faced bandit said, "By the way, he asked us to say hello to you, General Wei, when we see you."
General Wei was not angry. Yun Danfeng took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Yangliu? I have heard about this person. At first he was not the twenty-four generals of Chiyun. Later, Chiyundu failed in his rebellion and fled into Cangwu Ridge. In a corner of the separatist regime, this talent has just emerged. Now he is colluding with bandits in Xingluo County. Could it be that he rebelled from Chiyun City and plans to set up his own business?"
"Fuck your mother!" the black-faced bandit scolded: "You Huaxu Kingdom broke your word, murdered Mr. Zhan Ming in the front, set up an ambush and framed the back, and killed countless disciples of Chiyundu! Even if it is rebellion, it is still
You have forced me to rebel! Now that Yangliu Jun’s divine sword is in hand, I will attack you and others soon! If you don’t want to die, please untie me and I may be able to show you a way to survive!”
"How to survive?" General Wei said with a smile: "Could it be that he defected to the Chiyun Rebellion Party?"
"What's the point of catching a few of us?" The black-faced bandit laughed and said, "If you had the ability, you wouldn't have returned to Yuyang County!"
"The villain has succeeded." General Wei picked up Zhao Mi's letter and shook it a few times: "I don't know that your troop deployment has been figured out by us. In order to be able to establish a long-term foothold in Xingluo County, Mr. Yangliu streamlined his troops and horses and resumed spring farming.
The current campaign to fight on all sides is nothing more than a bluff. I pretended to be defeated and retreated to Yuyang County, but you can't wait to catch up, which shows how empty our troops are."
The black-faced thieves shut up and General Wei ordered: "Gouge out the eyes of the remaining two people and let the three of them go back. By the way, I have a message for Mr. Yang Liu - don't think that you can run rampant just by getting the magic sword. Once the heavenly soldiers arrive, you will
I will turn you into ashes! If there is a traitor who wants to save the lives of his family, all he needs to do is lay down his armor and surrender, and we will not refuse him!"
General Wei waved his hand, and the guards dragged the three thieves down for execution. Immediately, frightening screams could be heard outside.
Luo Xixian asked: "Does the general intend to intimidate the rebellious party by letting them go back?"
"It's better than nothing." General Wei sighed and said: "Now that the rebellious party has the help of the Divine Sword, its strength is incomparable, and it is difficult for ordinary military forces to compete. I have already written to the imperial court to ask for help, and now the war must require the help of the heads of various agencies.
"
Luo Xixian was also frightened when he thought about the previous situation where the sword energy passed through the realm and covered the sky and the earth. As a swordsman, he understood the power of this sword energy better than others. Even the East China Sea Sword Immortal Hongxueke had the ability to "break the sky with thunder, and divide the points below".
The swordsmanship of "Bo Tao" may not be able to emit the sword energy that can overwhelm thousands of armies.
"General, I don't understand the low position." Luo Xixian asked: "The Chiyun rebellious party has this magic sword, why don't they just attack Yuyang County? Is it true that the troops are empty and it is difficult to expand the results?"
"Perhaps so." General Wei handed over the letter: "This was sent by Zhao Fu. He summoned ghosts and gods to find out Chiyundu's troop deployment."
Luo Xixian was surprised. He knew that Zhao Shu knew a lot of summoning techniques, but it was still unbelievable that he could use them to detect the enemy's military situation.
"It's a pity that this letter came late." General Wei beat his knees helplessly, then raised his eyes and said to Luo Xixian: "The war is difficult now. I have decided to ask Mr. Liang from Chongxuan Hall to come and deal with it. I know you have always been unwilling to do so.
I like this person, but the current situation cannot be compromised, and you must not cause trouble again!"
When Luo Xixian heard this, he clasped his fists and raised his hands: "I obey my orders!"
…
"Wei Xiuwen has now returned to Yuyang County, and the rebels may use the power of the divine sword to counterattack!"
In the Nine Heavens Cloud Terrace, Liang Shuo faced the Sigui Mingjing and said: "And he sent a letter asking for help, hoping that his grandson would come to help."
Liang Tao thought for a long time in the mirror, and then said: "It should be so! Only at this critical moment can we show that our Chongxuan Pavilion is indispensable! Since Wei Xiuwen is asking for help, you can go there on the Jiutian Yuntai."
"Grandfather!" Liang Shuo became nervous: "The power of the Divine Sword cannot be underestimated. My grandson may not be able to resist it now that he does not have an immortal general to protect him at all times!"
"Why are you panicking? Where have all the self-restraint efforts you usually put in gone?" Liang Tao scolded: "The newspaper has been sent to Dongsheng Capital, and the king has just summoned the ministers to discuss the matter. What I am most worried about at the moment is not the divine sword, but the divine sword.
If our various shops go to Xingluo County, the Chiyun rebellious gang in Cangwu Ridge will take the opportunity to cause trouble.
In addition, news came from Juhong Pass that the Xiong Kingdom was training its troops, and there was a lot of restlessness in the Jiaohui Cave. I am afraid that the concubines of the Yushi Division of the Jiuli Kingdom were doing this secretly. Do you think other countries know nothing about the Xingluo County matter?"
"Does my grandson rely on those three summoning talismans?" Liang Shuo asked.
"I will come, but I have to arrange the situation of all parties first." Liang Tao turned to ask: "Didn't you say before that you were arranging the mandala rituals to curb the power of the divine sword? How is the progress of this matter?"
Liang Shuo replied: "There are still a few altars left."
"Move quickly!" Liang Tao's tone increased: "Before this, if the rebellious gang comes to kill with the help of the divine sword, don't be stingy, just use the talisman directly and let Hengbi fight them with all their strength."
"Yes." Liang Shuo said.
Liang Tao showed a bit of relief: "I am very satisfied with your proposal to lend grain, rice, cloth and silk to help the people. Only by extending kindness widely can the world respect our Chongxuan Pavilion from the bottom of their hearts. And the king also agreed to provide relief to the people.
Each county has set up charity warehouses, and our Chongxuan Hall will take charge of the preparations for this matter. Only in this way can the Huaxu Kingdom and our Chongxuan Hall share weal and woe. Are these all your own ideas?"
Liang Shuo originally wanted to say yes directly, but then he thought about it and replied: "My grandson had a deep conversation with Zhao Shu of Huaiying Hall before. This person has provided many suggestions."
"Oh? Is this Zhao Shu again?" Liang Tao nodded.
"Not only that, he is also responsible for the establishment of altars and rituals in various places in Xingluo County." Liang Shuo added: "Grandpa, this man is indeed a talent. If he can be admitted to the Chongxuan Hall,
Given time, he will become a capable person."
"For him to be able to contribute so much to our Chongxuan Hall, it can be seen that he is resentful of Zhang Duanjing and has long had the idea of changing his family." Liang Tao asked again, "Did Zhao Shu ask for any conditions from you?"
"My grandson asked Jiang Ru to accompany him when he went out on business, and he readily agreed." Liang Shuo said with a smile, "I think it will be difficult for this person to come here and know the taste."
When Liang Tao heard this, he also raised his head and smiled: "Zhang Duanjing has been alone for many years, and he has allowed his students to be stupid? You have done a good job!"
"My grandfather taught me well." Liang Shuo lowered his head and said.
"Okay, you should leave as soon as possible! With the protection of Jiutian Yuntai, the power of the divine sword will not easily hurt you. Wei Xiuwen uses his troops steadily, and in order to protect the future of his family, he will not let you take risks easily. Once the rebels are wiped out,
I will personally ask the Lord for your merit!" After Liang Tao said these words, the light and shadow on the mirror gradually disappeared.
Liang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief. Every time he contacted his grandfather, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
After gently ringing the bell, a maid came in from outside. Liang Shuo asked, "Is there any news from Jiang Ru?"
"Sir, no." The maid lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes. Liang Shuo saw the cute mole on the corner of her eye, and he was feeling depressed. He grabbed the maid onto the bamboo couch, and then he heard the sound of moaning and fighting.
…
"Young Master has sent someone to hurry you up."
In an abandoned inn next to the official road, Zhao Shu looked at the dark clouds in the sky and the heavy rain with a dull expression. Jiang Ru's voice woke him up.
"Huh? Oh."
Jiang Ru frowned: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Shu rubbed his face: "It's not interesting. We can't arrange a mandala in this situation, so don't count on it."
"Isn't it just raining!" Jiang Ru pointed to the barge horse carriage under the canopy in the courtyard: "Where do you want to go? I can just take you there!"
"There's no need for a carriage, it's only three or four miles away from here." Zhao Shu found a stool and sat down, lying on the table with a tired look on his face: "It's raining heavily and the weather is uncertain. It's impossible to do it like this. If you
If you have the ability, a spell will stop the heavy rain, and I will immediately kneel down, kowtow, and call you the Fox Fairy Empress."
"Are you happy to make fun of me?" Jiang Ru asked with a gloomy face.
Zhao Shu yawned: "Sister, how tired have I been these days? Do you think that setting up the mandala and performing rituals is just a matter of making incantations and chanting incantations there and then it's over? It's very energy-consuming, okay! I guess
It's bloody bad luck. If I had known better, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess."
Jiang Ru stood with her arms folded and said coldly: "Recently, news came from the front line that the Chiyun Rebellion Divine Sword was born, and it can overwhelm the imperial army with one sword. If you don't act as soon as possible, your good brother Luo Xixian will probably die on the battlefield.
!”
Zhao Shu glanced at the other party: "You don't have to use words to provoke me. If you can't do it, you can't do it. I know what I'm capable of, so there's no point in being anxious at this time. If you're so anxious, are you worried about Liang Shuo?
"
Jiang Ru looked away and did not answer. Zhao Shu said: "Master Liang can summon immortal generals, which is naturally regarded as the key to dealing with rebellious parties and bandits. It is like two armies confronting each other. They always have to prepare an elite force. It is difficult to sustain the front line.
Invest in time and become the winner who can turn the situation around."
"But didn't you say before that my young master lost his Immortal General?" Jiang Ru asked, "In this case, how can we fight against the rebellious party?"
"I guessed it, but General Wei doesn't know." Zhao Shu secretly laughed and said: "Now is the time when Chongxuan Pavilion is needed on the front line. Is it possible that Mr. Liang will continue to hide in Yanze City and do nothing? In the long run, who will
Do you still trust Chongxuan Hall? To put it bluntly, Mr. Liang will be sent to the front line now, even if he is used as a shield."
Jiang Ru looked worried, shook her nails and said, "Can't you think of a way for him? If you help me this time, maybe you can go to Chongxuan Pavilion in the future and be able to worship Liang Shouzuo as your teacher, and be the brother of my young master.
Commensurate!”
"Do you still want to change my surname and give me a name?" Zhao Shu asked back, and then said: "I'll just say it bluntly. Now it's the best way to let Mr. Liang go to the front line. Because the rebels and bandits don't know him either.
The Immortal General has lost his magical treasure, and the monk Chiyundu has seen the power of the Immortal General, so he will be afraid when he appears."
Jiang Ru was dubious, Zhao Shu was a little sleepy, and his head was pounding: "When you came to Yanze City, how beautiful was the scene? You might as well do the same thing again on the front line, and appear on the front line of the two armies in such a grand manner.
It can intimidate the enemy and boost the morale of the officers and soldiers.
If the rebels and bandits are afraid and hesitant, they may not rush to attack. This will give the officers and soldiers a chance to repair their armor and reorganize their fortifications, and it will also give me time to arrange the altar rituals. As for the next thing, that is
God knows..."
After saying this, Zhao Shu lay down on the table and fell asleep, while Jiang Rufeng ran out to ask someone to deliver the news.
