Although Zhao Min learned Yang Qingyuan's Luoxia Liuzhu Sword and Huifeng Wuliu Sword.
But Yang Qingyuan did not teach her mental skills or Qinggong.
The reason why Yang Qingyuan accepted Zhao Min as his disciple at that time was because of the unusual movements on Hengshan Mountain.
The blood of Lingguang almost made Yang Qingyuan suspect that this was a world on the side of immortals. He wanted to find the answer from Zhao Min, but no matter how he checked, he couldn't find it.
Yang Qingyuan could only blame Gao Wu for the incident. After all, there were phoenixes, turtles, and dragons in the storm!
It makes sense that there is Lingguang blood in this world!
Afterwards, Yang Qingyuan did indeed regard Zhao Min as his apprentice, and taught her both the Luoxia Liuzhu Sword and the Huifengwu Liujian, both of which he invented. Unfortunately, he did not have time to teach the others, so Zhao Min danced backwards.
So Zhao Min didn't learn Yang Qingyuan's most famous skill, Qinggong!
So when Zhao Min was knocked away by Yang Guo's spear, a flaw was revealed.
The old strength has been exhausted, but the new strength has not yet been born.
Although qinggong is very magical, anyone with a little knowledge of martial arts will know that you must be careful during a martial arts competition. Flaws are most likely to be exposed when you are flying in the air.
After all, Qinggong like Yang Qingyuan's ability to change directions in the air is extremely rare.
Even the eight sects with long heritage are available in every family.
Facing Princess Zhao Min who couldn't change direction in the air, Yang Guo naturally didn't need to predict.
Just when Fulong Xiangtian's spear was about to hit Zhao Min, Yang Qingyuan, who was supposed to be in the tent, flashed past and saved Zhao Min.
The two men's actions had already attracted the attention of Yang Qingyuan, Yang Ning, and Qin Yiyan.
Although Zhao Min is scheming and a difficult opponent to deal with, nothing can happen to him in the Zhou camp.
During previous discussions, Liang Wang and Zhao Min had made requests.
Every once in a while, Zhao Min would send a letter to the Qianjun camp to indicate that his situation was safe.
Once the correspondence is cut off, it means that Zhao Min has been killed.
The King of Liang would immediately break the contract and attack the Tiance Army and the Yunzhong Protectorate.
"Master!"
When Yang Guo saw Yang Qingyuan, he still didn't dare to be presumptuous.
Yang Qingyuan was like a teacher and a father to Yang Guo, and he was a great benefactor to Yang Guo for saving his life and rebuilding his life.
"Guo'er, this person can't move now!"
Not only cannot they move, Yang Qingyuan and Tiancejun also have to protect Zhao Min's safety.
Once something happens to her, it will be Da Zhou's responsibility.
"It's up to you to protect her safety these days!"
"What?!"
Yang Guo has never been an obedient baby, and he was not happy to accept Yang Qingyuan's order.
"If you are not willing to protect her, then you can stay and guard the Yunzhong Protectorate."
The meaning of Yang Qingyuan's words is obvious.
Protect Zhao Min these days, and follow Yang Qingyuan to lead his army south on the day the army sets out.
Otherwise, he would stay at the Yunzhong Protectorate. Then does Yang Guo have any other choice?!
It seems that there is a choice, but in fact there is no choice.
The Tiance army going south is going to fight a battle that will be better than the one in the north. This is an opportunity that the soldiers of the Tiance army are not willing to miss, and Yang Guo is naturally not willing to miss it either.
"Master, don't worry, the princess' safety is in my hands!"
Yang Guo's face changed in a second, and he immediately patted his breastplate and assured Yang Qingyuan.
Yang Qingyuan nodded. In fact, Yang Qingyuan originally planned to bring Yang Guo with him in this battle.
Although an agreement was reached with King Liang, the northern border had to be on guard.
The Tiance Army originally had a total strength of 330,000. After the last war, it has not been replenished in time. The current number is around 300,000.
The pressure on the Northern Territory was already quite high. The Battle of the Northern Territory destroyed the Yunzhong Protectorate too much. To ensure stability, more than 180,000 troops must be left behind.
Yang Qingyuan only had 120,000 troops left at his disposal.
Moreover, Li Chengen, the most important core of Tiance's army, could not go south with the army. He had to stay in the north to frighten King Liang. Only he had the ability to use 180,000 people to confront King Liang who had three times his own strength.
The only ones who can follow Yang Qingyuan southward are Zhu Jianqiu and Qin Yiyan.
Even Yang Ning had to stay in the north.
Er Yang has been the deepest fear in Da Qian's heart for more than ten years. As long as the two of them are still in the northern border, they can ensure the greatest stability in the northern border.
The only candidates left for Yang Qingyuan's vanguard general were Cao Xueyang and Yang Guo.
Qin Yiyan wanted to serve as Yang Qingyuan's deputy. Although Zhu Jianqiu was resourceful, he had never led an army independently.
Cao Xueyang is one of the few people in the Tiance army who is qualified and capable of leading tens of thousands of troops independently. If Cao Xueyang is the vanguard, it will be very troublesome for Yang Qingyuan to divide his troops.
Therefore, the only candidate left for the vanguard general was Yang Guo.
Not paying attention to the interaction between Yang Qingyuan's master and apprentice, Zhao Min blinked at Yang Qingyuan.
"Master, don't forget what you promised me!"
Yang Qingyuan's face froze, but he still nodded.
"What's going on!?"
Yang Guo asked curiously, Master, could it be...
Just when Yang Guo was thinking, Yang Qingyuan suddenly hit Yang Guo on the head, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
At the same time that Yang Qingyuan and Liang Wang concluded the alliance, Yang Qingyuan also agreed to do two things for Zhao Min.
The key to this alliance does not lie with King Liang, but with Zhao Min.
Although Wang Baobao was the crown prince, this son looked like he was picked up from the garbage dump of Prince Liang.
In this matter, Zhao Min has even greater say than Wang Baobao.
In addition to the formal covenant, Zhao Min also asked Yang Qingyuan to do three things for him.
Of course, these three things do not violate chivalrous morality, do not damage the reputations of Wudang and Yang Qingyuan, and do not hinder the situation of the Zhou court.
This plot feels strangely familiar to Yang Qingyuan, but it is based on the principles that you cannot be influenced by others, you must take the initiative in negotiations, and you must bargain.
The two parties finally agreed that Yang Qingyuan must do two things for Zhao Min!
-----
The next day, King Liang withdrew his troops for thirty miles as promised to show his sincerity.
Upon seeing this, Tiance's army also began to break out of camp and retreat.
In the next two days, both sides retreated ninety miles each.
The distance between the two armies was completely widened.
The Tiance Army then began a plan to divide its troops and went south for rescue. Yang Qingyuan also borrowed 10,000 Cangyun Xuanjia Army from Cangyun Pass Commander Yan Wangqing, plus the 120,000 people from the Tiance Army, for a total of 130,000 people.
Just when Yang Qingyuan was integrating his troops, an uninvited guest came to King Liang's army.
As soon as King Liang's army retreated to Wangnan City, the supervisors sent by Emperor Qian came to the military formation to question them.
After what happened to the Seventh Prince, Emperor Qian also understood that a foolish person who is loyal to him cannot replace a military chief.
So the supervisors sent this time are much more reliable!
First of all, he was absolutely loyal to Emperor Qian, and secondly, he could not seize military power like the Seventh Prince, but he could still make Prince Liang worry about him.
Such a candidate could only be the loyal eunuchs around Emperor Qian.
The power of the eunuchs came from Emperor Qian, so even if they had some military power, it was of no use.
Throughout the history books, the only eunuchs who could escape the emperor's control were Quan eunuchs in the late Tang Dynasty.
But there is a reason for that. In the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs were in charge of the army and the privy council.
At first, eunuchs did not hold military power, but only supervised the army.
However, during Dezong's reign, the Jingyuan soldiers who put down Li Xilie's rebellion in Huaixi mutinied because they were dissatisfied with the food and items given by the imperial court.
During the mutiny, the civil servants abandoned Dezong one by one and surrendered to the rebels; the armies led by generals from various places also had ulterior motives and did not come to serve the king.
Only the eunuchs still loyally guarded him.
Therefore, after the Jingyuan Incident was put down, Tang Dezong began to use eunuchs extensively.
At the same time, in view of the lessons learned from the mutiny, Emperor Dezong of the former Tang Dynasty decided to put the "Forbidden Army" at this time, that is, the "Shence Army", completely under the control of the most trusted eunuchs, and appointed the eunuchs as "Left and Right Lieutenants of the Shence Army Guards" Commanding the Forbidden Army was the beginning of the eunuchs' control of the Forbidden Army in the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, the Shence Army was the most elite force in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. Eunuchs mastering the Shence Army basically meant they had control over the emperor's life and death, such as the "Manna Incident" and the consequences of eunuchs taking charge of the army.
But this alone was not enough. The eunuchs of the Yuma Jian of the Great Zhou Dynasty also controlled part of the military power. The Tengxiang Four Guards in the Yulin Army, an elite force of nearly 12,000 people, were under the direct jurisdiction of the Yuma Jian.
However, the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Guards were still slaves of the emperor and had no independent military power.
The reason for this is that the eunuchs of the former Tang Dynasty not only held independent military power, but also formed a wide range of party members and established diplomatic relations with vassal towns.
In the late Tang Dynasty, the emperor needed eunuchs to balance the vassal towns, which further expanded his power, which led to the power of eunuchs to depose and establish the emperor.
Although Daqian was a Huawai dynasty, the knowledgeable people in the dynasty, such as Yelu Chucai, had already thought of this when they imitated the Central Plains dynasty.
Therefore, the eunuchs of Daqian were not as powerful as those of Dazhou, so they could only rely on the Khan.
"Why did Eunuch Ji come here!?"
Although this person was from Yuanmeng, because of Yelu Chucai's strategy of sinicizing the country and strengthening the country, basically everyone in the country had Han surnames.
"The Zajia is just a mutilated body. We shouldn't be here to disturb the prince. However, the Zajia is entrusted by the Great Khan. Naturally, they should fulfill their duties and dare not make any omissions!"
Although he said he was humble, Eunuch Ji's attitude was not at all respectful. He was a slave of the Great Khan, and he only needed to be humble to the Great Khan.
"May I ask your lord, why did you suddenly retreat from the Zhou army!?"
One house is thirty miles, and three houses are exactly ninety miles.
The King of Liang did not intend to break up with the supervisor, but he still politely and enthusiastically said perfunctorily, "My father-in-law does not know. The commander of Tiance Army today, Li Chengen, is cunning and full of tricks. I knew that he had plans against our army."
After all, we will shrink our troops and prepare for the attack."
This is the art of speech. Retreat cannot be called a retreat. You have to call it a contraction of troops. Using professional terms in this way makes it appear that King Liang, a person who made an agreement with the enemy in private, is hardworking and loyal to the king!
But Eunuch Ji was not fooled by this trick. Instead, he rubbed the tea cup in his hand and asked in a sharp tone, "Prince Liang, please don't deceive the big man. The Za family has heard that a Zhou man came the other day."
I had a secret conversation with His Highness Prince Liang, and after the conversation, His Highness Prince Liang withdrew his troops for ninety miles. Could it be that..."
Eunuch Ji protracted his tone, "Could it be that His Highness Prince Liang has reached an agreement with someone that he shouldn't have reached?"
Dazhou has an intelligence and spy organization that monitors the world, and Daqian certainly has one too.
One of them is the Duqiwei in the Qixue Army. They are nominally the people who supervise the Qixue Army, but in fact they are one of Daqian's spy intelligence organizations, and Eunuch Ji is a member of this organization.
He received a secret report from members of the military organization the day before yesterday, saying that King Liang was colluding with the Zhou Dynasty to plot rebellion. After receiving this information, Eunuch Ji naturally did not dare to neglect it. As the supervisor of the army, he was here to monitor King Liang's every move again.
Once King Liang made some moves but he didn't know about it, it would be a serious dereliction of duty.
That's why we came here today to investigate.
When King Liang heard this, he knew that Eunuch Ji must have known something!
"Boom!"
The tea cup in King Liang's hand suddenly slipped. Eunuch Ji thought it was the secret thing that King Liang was told about. His guilty expression made him unaware that this was a sign of throwing a cup to send him on his way.
Taoist Baishu, who had been hiding outside the tent, took action the moment the tea cup fell to the ground. With a powerful palm strike, he hit Eunuch Ji on the head.
Eunuch Ji was originally a warrior in the Yuanhua Realm, but in front of Baishu, a genuine Fa Tianxiang Realm, he had no resistance at all, and received the box lunch without any reaction at all.
Baishang clapped his hands and said, "According to the prince's instructions, I did not use the Xuanming Divine Palm, but just a simple big stone-breaking hand. The force of the palm only shattered his head and had no effect on his body."
When one's martial arts reaches the level of one hundred damage, such manipulation of palm power is just a matter of effort.
"Thank you sir!"
Bai Sheng bowed to King Liang and then withdrew from the tent. Then Wang Baobao entered the tent with Prince Liang's trusted guards.
"Father, you killed this dog of hell, how should you explain it to the Khan?"
Wang Baobao couldn't figure out why his father, who had always been cautious, could be so aggressive this time. Although Eunuch Ji was hateful, he represented Emperor Qian after all, so to kill him like this, in the military tent of King Liang, was unjustifiable in any case.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Eunuch Ji died in a sneak attack by Tiance Army's rangers while he was inspecting the military camp. What does it have to do with me?!"
Then King Liang selected a tall man from among the guards and put on Eunuch Ji's eunuch uniform.
Yes, although Eunuch Ji was a eunuch, he was extremely tall and had obvious features.
After arranging the matter, Liang Wangchahan Timur said to his son, "Wait a minute, you take a team of light cavalry and pretend to go out to inspect the camp with this thief, and then hide the old dog's body in it until the time comes.
Outside the camp, there will be a troop of troops ambushing you!"
"Use our private soldiers from Prince Liang's Mansion?!"
Before Wang Baobao finished speaking, the King of Liang was stunned, "Use soldiers and horses trusted by the Great Khan, otherwise how can you win the Great Khan's trust?"
"Aren't I afraid of being discovered?!"
"It's dark now, and you can't even see faces without torches. What can you find? Throw the body to the ground when the time comes, and someone will naturally bring it back."
"But this thief obviously died from the force of the palm on his skull. When the time comes..."
At this point, Wang Baobao already understood why Liang Wang told Bai Shen to just use ordinary palm force to shatter his skull.
Because he was attacked by the Zhou army, after killing such a character, the Zhou army would definitely cut off his head to record his merits.
When the time comes, just leave a body and stab it a few times, and naturally the cause of death will not be found.
"Father, this is a good idea! But the Great Khan is not a fool. Will he believe this rhetoric!?"
"Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't believe it, but what if my only son is also seriously injured?!"
Wang Baobao had a bad premonition after hearing this.
Sure enough, I am not my biological child!!!
ps: (Expanded Timur, also known as Wang Baobao, is indeed not the biological son of King Ruyang, that is, King Liang)
