In the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone cheered continuously.
"good!"
"It's worthy of the Qianyuan Treasure, it's so unpredictable!"
In the field, Nezha shouted loudly. The red silk in his hand hung like a red cloud in the sky, and he opened his big bones.
Liu Qiao clasped his hands behind his back and remained silent. The five fingers of his big hand in the sky were pressed together, with white bone knuckles wrapped in five balls of green air, like the Five Elements Mountain, holding down the red caltrop, covering the sky and blocking the setting sun.
"Broken!" Seeing this, Nezha changed his technique again. The red water chestnut suddenly returned to his hand and was thrown out, like a red line.
The red line "Chi Chi" is like a knife, extremely sharp, like a sharp blade cutting tofu, cutting off two fingers of the big hand.
"Okay!" Everyone cheered.
The two broken and fallen bone fingers turned into white air and dissipated before they even hit the ground.
The ghost spirit of the White Bones is immortal and has no damage to Liu Qiao's Taoism. With a thought, the white mist flashes away, the severed fingers of the big hand are restored, and the majesty of the magical power remains unchanged.
"So sharp!" Liu Qiao frowned and praised.
The Netherworld Vajra, also known as Vajra, is not damaged by water or fire, nor is it injured by swords. It seems that it is so strong that it can even be cut off by a red caltrop.
Taiyi Huntian Ling is indeed extraordinary, as soft as a finger wrapped around it, as hard as a hundred forged steel, and can change without any direction.
Nezha listened to the crowd's applause and was very proud. This little evil star danced a red caltrop in the sky, stirring up the world, with a radius of thousands of miles. It rained and sunny, and all the wind and clouds were shaken by Hun Tian Ling.
There were gusty winds all around, and the red caltrops stretched tens of thousands of feet, like vines directly wrapping around the big bones of the hand, like a python wrapping around its prey, trying to crush the big hand.
Not only were everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion surprised by Hun Tianling's power, but Nezha stirred up the world and his momentum also spread outside the city.
In the camp of the Shang army, I heard that the grand master was standing with his hands behind his hands, looking at the surging wind and clouds in the sky and the changes in the celestial phenomena, and he was silent.
Ji Li and others behind him said excitedly: "Teacher, could it be that there is internal strife in Xiqi City? Such a commotion is a life and death struggle for the Xian family!"
"Be patient, don't be impatient, wait and see what happens!" Wen Taishi waved his hand.
…
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Qiao and Nezha were in a stalemate.
The big hand was tightly wrapped in the red silk. It was originally a bone, but now it looked more like a mummy, unable to move.
"Take it!" Liu Qiao saw that he couldn't struggle. With a thought, his big hand turned into white mist and dissipated in a moment.
"Haha, you're the one with no skills this time!" Nezha laughed loudly and hurriedly moved Tian Ling to hit Liu Qiao. At the same time, he secretly took a gold brick in his hand.
"Even a poor Taoist has endless means..." Liu Qiao chuckled, and when he saw Hong Ling rolling up, he hurriedly chanted Chi Suo's mantra.
"Huchi" a red light flew out from Liu Qiao's sleeve, and in an instant it grew to a length of thousands of feet, as big as a mountain.
Hundreds of feet swarm in the red light, soar into the clouds and ride on the mist, bringing up bursts of fishy wind. They can also change in size, penetrate the Hundian silk wrapper in an instant, and pounce towards Nezha.
"What is this!" Nezha was shocked and quickly knocked out the gold brick in his hand.
"Grrr!" Chisuo was like a flying dragon. He opened his mouth wide, grabbed the gold brick, and swallowed it into his belly without even belching.
Liu Qiao teased: "Nezha, it's not a good idea to give gifts during this martial arts competition, but I don't want it, so you have to give it. I accepted the gold brick for my brother."
There was a smile on his face, but he was a little annoyed in his heart. Nezha didn't know the importance and wanted to sneak attack with gold bricks.
If you get hit by that gold brick, the broken muscles and fractures will be minor. What are you doing? Do you want to do something poisonous?
When Nezha heard this, he was furious. When he saw the red dragon flying towards him like lightning, he didn't care about anything else and hurriedly tried to escape.
However, how could he escape with his secret magic and magical powers? What's more, Nezha didn't have a fire wheel and his escape skills were mediocre.
As soon as he pinched off the Five Elements Escape Technique and was surrounded by red ropes, the centipede's mouth opened slightly, and bursts of fishy wind rushed straight into Nezha's cheeks.
Liu Qiao said calmly: "Fellow Taoist Nezha, you lose!"
Chisuo is so swift. If he really wins the battle against the enemy, just that one blow could kill Nezha.
Not to mention Liu Qiao's real magical power, the White Bone Ghost God Vajra, did not exert its full power, but only drove away and teased.
Otherwise, Liu Qiao would have had at least dozens of opportunities to capture Nezha before Nezha captured Hun Tianling.
I just kept using my big hands to cover up, and never really dropped my big hands.
Everyone outside the court could see clearly and knew that Liu Qiao had not used any force, at least he still had the means to change his troops, but Nezha had exhausted all means.
This is also true. Liu Qiao only used 20 to 30% of his abilities. Since he had mastered his magical powers, he had never really used his full strength.
Nezha, however, did not stop and said nothing. He just snorted coldly, took back the Hun Tian Ling, and hit Chi Suo.
"Haha!" Seeing that he refused to admit defeat, Liu Qiao hurriedly urged Chi Suo, intending to make Nezha suffer.
Anyway, Brother Han Dulong brought Dao Xing Tianzun's golden elixir, so he was not worried that something would happen to Nezha.
"Stab it!" Chi Suo flew up and bit Hun Tianling, letting the red silk change in his mouth, but couldn't struggle.
The red light flashed, and the red cord turned into a red thread, which also changed like Hun Tian Ling, and was as fast as lightning, bypassing Hun Tian Ling's blockage, and biting towards Nezha's shoulder.
Liu Qiao still kept his hand. Chisuo was made from a different species of centipede. If the fangs scratched the skin, everyone, including humans and immortals, would be poisoned and die. If he bit the neck, there would be almost no cure.
So he just bit Nezha on the shoulder. The worst result was that Nezha immediately cut off his own arm and reattached it with elixir.
If this bite is taken seriously, although Nezha will not die, he will inevitably suffer a lot.
At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the venue: "Stop!"
However, Jiang Shang had just returned from the palace. The enemy troops outside the city surrounded the city and they urgently summoned the generals to discuss matters.
Liu Qiao frowned and saw that Nezha was willing to die rather than surrender, so he did not take action after all.
With a thought, when the red line was three inches away from Nezha's shoulder, it silently turned into red, and the stars disappeared bit by bit.
Yang Jian and others in the audience were also very pleased with what they saw, but Master Jiang was here, so they couldn't help Liu Qiao to fight.
Jin Zha and others pretended to be fake and shouted: "You two brothers, don't fight, so as not to damage the brotherhood!"
"Huh!" Nezha snorted coldly and took back Hun Tian Ling.
"How about we call it a draw?" Liu Qiao saw his master coming this way and accepted it.
"No need, Senior Brother Liu is amazingly right, Nezha loses!" Nezha said, turned around and walked off the stage.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In his words, he emphasized the four words "astonishingly wrong", obviously he was not convinced.
He believed that Liu Qiao was just relying on his bad and heretical tricks to show off his strength for a moment, and was not the noble and upright way of the Xian family.
"Haha... Junior Brother Nezha said it very well. All the heretical techniques are passed down from our ancestors..." Liu Qiaopi said with a smile.
I don’t refute it, I just say that these spells were passed down by the ancestor. If you say that the ancestor’s Taoism is leftist, then it is leftist.
Not to mention anything else, at least the basic method of Yuxu Qi refining, Tiangangqi, is indeed a secret technique passed down by the ancestor.
Moreover, Huangting Taoism and the Immortal Industry Map were also instructed by the Patriarch. It can be said that Yuanshi Tianzun did not meet Liu Qiao, but all his spells were related to the Patriarch's secret enlightenment.
To say this is not to blame the founder.
Yang Jian saw that the atmosphere between the two was a little tense, and it seemed that they were getting really angry.
He hurriedly stepped forward and put his arms around the shoulders of the two of them, smoothing things over and saying, "It's all the family's method. How can there be any difference between right and wrong? We should use it to be right."
"At least from what I can see, both of them have extraordinary abilities. They are the top talents of the Immortal family. Why should we argue about their superiority? The two schools of magic have their own subtle differences. This game is considered a tie." Yang Jianhe Xini said.
Han Dulong and others also echoed: "The two senior brothers are so powerful that it's hard to tell them apart. It's a tie, a tie!"
Liu Qiao smiled and said nothing, Han Dulong and Xue Ehu were already Nezha's loyal younger brothers. Of course, they didn't want Nezha to lose. They just said it was a draw to save Nezha's face.
At this time Jiang Shang came over and said with a serious look on his face: "You are all cultivators, you are noisy, how can you behave properly, and you also compete with supernatural powers and Taoist skills? I ask you, what kind of spirit are you showing off?"
There was silence in the field, and the three generations of Chanjiao disciples all kept silent and lined up in two rows silently to listen to the teachings.
"Han Dulong, did your master give you the elixir for fun?" Jiang Shang scolded.
Han Poulong lowered his head and said nothing, while Xue Ehu retorted blankly: "Uncle Jiang, this elixir was given to Junior Brother Long Xuhu to treat his injuries, so it was not wasted!"
"You!" These words made Jiang Shang choke. He couldn't say that giving the elixir to his apprentice would be a "waste".
Jiang Shang snorted coldly, then looked at the messy hexagrams on the ground. He was so angry that his hair and beard were bulging, and shouted: "Who did this?"
Everyone in the audience looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads, expressing that they didn't know.
Liu Qiao looked up at the sky, as if he didn't know anything.
“Bukit!”
"Um...Master, I don't know either..." Wu Ji ran up to him tremblingly.
"I put this lotus tube in the study, who took it out?" Jiang Shang asked.
Wu Ji squeaked, intending to betray his senior brother, but when Liu Qiao looked up at the sky, he looked like he didn't know anything.
Feeling miserable, I didn't dare to say that my senior brother asked me to take it. I lowered my head and said, "I took it, Master. I know I was wrong..."
"Humph, I'll be punished with fifty lashes!"
Wu Ji's face turned pale with fear. He had not practiced the magic of immortality. Not only would fifty lashes cost him half his life, he would be unable to get out of bed for at least half a month.
Fortunately, at this time, Jiang Shang changed the topic and said: "But because the army is besieging the city and is about to use you, these fifty lashes will be kept for you first, and then you will be punished after the enemy is defeated."
"Disciple, I obey!" Wu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed. After defeating the enemy, perhaps the master would forget about it.
Liu Qiao snickered secretly and said to himself: "I have to remember these fifty lashes carefully and remind Master at the right time."
It's not that Liu Qiao was so sinister because he got a good deal, but Wu Ji deserved to take the blame this time.
Previously, when he was practicing Taoism behind closed doors, Wu Ji's reckless interruption almost caused his family to go crazy. Liu Qiao always remembered it in his heart.
It was light to repay him like this. If he hadn't been a fellow disciple, Liu Qiao would have set a trap sooner or later, making him suffer a lot and improve his memory.
Liu Qiao never holds grudges, and he never retaliates on the spot if he has grudges.
Generally, people who offend Liu Qiao will be proud for a while and then unintentionally become unlucky.
Seeing everyone's expressions of obedience and knowing their fault, Jiang Shang couldn't say any more.
Although as an elder, he should teach them a lesson, but after all, he is not his disciple.
Moreover, they are all about explaining the true teachings. A little reprimand is sufficient, but any more will be too much.
"Everyone goes into the mansion to discuss matters, and Wuji goes to beat the drums to gather the generals!" After Jiang Shang said this, he walked toward the lobby with his sleeves fluttered.
"Dong...dong...dong..." The three-way drum sounded.
The three generations of disciples of Chanjiao, including Huang Feihu and other generals, each lined up in two civil and military groups and entered the hall in order.
Jiang Shang sat at the head of the commander's desk and said to the crowd: "Outside the city, I heard that the Grand Master is leading the army. There are more than 100,000 armored soldiers and 72 companies. Four gates have been surrounded. What do you guys think?"
"Prime Minister, the imperial court has sent an army of one million people to conquer the country. It is said to be a million-strong army. We in Xiqi only have more than 70,000 capable soldiers. We are really incapable of defeating the enemy. From the perspective of the last general, the top priority is to defend the city." Tai Dian, a veteran general, said.
Leave the class.
Everyone nodded and agreed with this statement. In terms of military strength, the imperial army has ten times the number of soldiers in Xiqi. Field battles are too risky. If all the best soldiers are lost, Xiqi will not be protected.
The imperial court could be defeated and gather troops to attack, but Xiqi had no chance of trial and error.
If all the elite soldiers are lost, even if there are immortals and clans interested in Xiqi, how can King Wu still return to his destiny without soldiers?
Jiang Shang frowned, and he didn't agree with it in his heart, but he didn't say anything on his face. He said a few perfunctory words, and then asked: "Do you have any other ideas?"
All the immortals who explained the teachings were silent. Liu Qiao held the post of military counselor, so of course he had to come out to show off his presence at this time.
Liu Qiao immediately came out of the squad and said: "Prime Minister (master), I think that defending the city is the worst strategy. Xiqi has no external aid and all the troops are here. If we defend for a long time, we will lose!"
"Oh! What do you think my disciple has to say?"
"The final general believes that he should select elite troops and confront the enemy head-on to know the basics. The remaining army can defend the city without losing..."
"The imperial army is on an expedition and it is difficult to transport food and supplies. A partial army can attack its food road. Our army can attack at night, or a small group of elite soldiers can harass the tired enemy..."
"Just wait until the enemy army is exhausted, then use all three armies to defeat them with one blow!"
Liu Qiao spoke at length and talked with great eloquence, and the generals were stunned for a moment. This was indeed the case in ancient battles, where most of the battles were head-on battles, and few used deceitful tactics.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Nangong Shi and others praised: "This is a wonderful plan by the military advisor, and I will second it!"
Huang Feihu was even more astonished and said: "The military advisor is really a god! If this plan comes out, the imperial army will be defeated!"
Nezha, Yang Jian and others had no objections and said one after another: "What Senior Brother Liu said is every word, and it is a good plan to defeat the enemy. We also agree with it."
Jiang Shang was satisfied, stroking his beard with joy and saying: "Yushu, you have indeed lived up to my expectations as a master, and you have achieved the true inheritance of my six Taoist teachings!"
The whole room cheered and marveled, but Liu Qiao was the only one who looked confused. He just wanted to come out to make his presence felt.
How did you accidentally win praise from everyone? As for the Six Tao?
Jiang Shang indeed told Liu Qiao all about it, but Liu Qiao had never seen it at all, and he had no interest in marching and fighting.
What I just said was nothing more than Liu Qiao's sporadic memory of lines from watching the TV series "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his previous life.
Seeing the admiration on everyone's faces, Liu Qiao smiled awkwardly, feeling a little confused in his heart. Should he expose himself, so as not to deceive everyone later?
I'm just talking on paper, do you really believe it?
At this moment, a messenger came to report: "Prime Minister, generals, there are enemy generals who entered the city alone and asked to see the Prime Minister!"
Everyone is confused. Is it possible that some people are really tired of life and want to throw themselves into a trap?
Nezha sneered and said, "Is it possible that someone knows the tricks of our immortal family and came here to surrender?"
Liu Qiao shook his head and said: "I don't think he is surrendering, but he seems to be here to persuade him to surrender."
Yang Jian also said: "No matter what, this person dares to come here alone, he has some courage, he is really a hero!"
Jiang Shang was also a little confused, so he waved his hand and said: "Invite him to come in and talk..."
Outside the military mansion, there is a forest of swords and guns. Soldiers holding swords and swords are standing in front of them. Two rows of swords and guns are crossed.
After a while, a majestic general with a red robe and gold armor, a face like indigo, hair like cinnabar, and fangs up and down, strode towards the mansion.
"Might... Martial!" Hundreds of soldiers on both sides shouted in unison, their swords and guns crossed, and cold light flashed.
"Hmph!" The red-robed and golden-armored general, with a pale blue face, pushed away his sword and gun with both hands and walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, everyone secretly praised him: "What a great man! What a heroic warrior!"
Jiang Shang asked in a deep voice, "Who is there in the hall?"
The blue-faced and red-haired general in golden armor lifted his red robe upon hearing this and bowed on one knee: "The last general, Xin Huan, is here to see Prime Minister Jiang on the order of the Grand Master!"
Everyone was a little surprised. In the past, the imperial court did not recognize King Wu and Jiang Shang, and they were both called Xibohou and Doctor Jiang.
However, this man was very respectful and addressed himself as Prime Minister. Could it be that he really came to surrender?
Jiang Shang was also a little puzzled and hurriedly said: "General Xin, please rise. I wonder if the general is single here. What advice can you give me?"
"The Grand Master made an appointment with Prime Minister Jiang. Three days later, everyone will set up their positions and hunt at the foot of Qishan Mountain."
After Xin Huan finished speaking, he took out a red admonishment and handed it over: "Here is the letter of challenge written by the Grand Master! I wonder if Prime Minister Jiang dares to accept the challenge?"
Liu Qiao complained in his heart, whether Grand Master Wen was really confident or overly arrogant.
Both sides have already lost their wits, and yet they still declare a challenge and act in an upright manner, which is simply pedantic!
Jiang Shang took the letter of war and read it, and said calmly: "Since the grand master invites you, why should Jiang Shang not respond?"
"So, Prime Minister Jiang agreed?" Xin Huan confirmed again.
Jiang Shang nodded and said: "Three days later, our army will go out of the city to form an array. Before the array is completed and the people are not in full order, the Grand Master is not allowed to launch a surprise attack!"
"This is natural!" Xin Huan responded proudly.
After saying this, he cupped his hands and said: "Since Jiang Cheng has agreed to fight, the general will return to the camp to resume his duties with the Grand Master!"
Jiang Shang raised his hand and said: "General Xin, go away!"
Xin Huan didn't say much. He bowed his hands to Liu Qiao and others and retreated without any obstruction from the troops inside and outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After he left, everyone praised him: "I heard that there are so many warriors under the Grand Master's command, but a mere general can be so courageous."
Jiang Shangze showed some worry on his face, looked at Liu Qiao, Yang Jian and other disciples who were explaining the teachings, and asked worriedly: "In three days, will you be sure?"
Nezha said carelessly: "Wen Zhong is just a five-element Taoist, so why should we be afraid? Don't worry, uncle, I, Nezha, will definitely not damage Xiqi's prestige!"
Yang Jian and others also said: "Uncle, don't worry. I heard that although the Grand Master has a great reputation, we all have different skills. When we fall, we will do our best to protect the peace of Xiqi."
Jiang Shang felt slightly reassured, then looked at Liu Qiao and said, "Yushu, what do you think?"
Liu Qiao kept pondering, and then he heard the words: "I heard that Taishi's Five Elements Taoism has reached its peak. His magic power is not inferior to that of my uncle and others in my teaching. Don't underestimate the enemy."
Han Dulong said disdainfully: "Senior Brother Liu is not as ambitious as others. He is just an old man. How can a person who has not yet achieved immortality really be so powerful?"
Liu Qiao did not refute. He couldn't say that he had watched TV series in his previous life and knew that Grand Master Wen was not someone to be trifled with!
Wen Taishi is by no means as simple as Han Dulong said. He is not only well-versed in military strategy, but also has five elements of Taoism and has developed supernatural powers. He also has a pair of golden whips that can imitate physical objects and are extremely powerful.
In Liu Qiao's memory, Chan taught at least two generations of disciples, plus three generations of elites.
Mr. Ran Deng had to rely on his extremely high moral skills to predict his death in advance and add the most luxurious all-star lineup of Chanjiao to put him on the list. It was not that easy to deal with.
No matter what everyone thinks or how they are gearing up.
Anyway, Liu Qiao had made up his mind not to be tough with the old master. He would let the water go when he needed it, fish for fish when he needed it, and run away when he needed to.
If the second-generation disciple of Chanjiao didn't come, Liu Qiao would not be sure to take down Grand Master Wen, and he would not really take action.
