Two fast horses, walking from the official road, rushed towards the majestic divine capital.
The two of them slightly changed their original outstanding temperament and became less outstanding.
Riding a horse at a gallop was something He Yuansi had never experienced in a long time.
When he was very young, he once dreamed of such a life of sword-fighting and unrestrained life. However, later, he accidentally embarked on the path of monasticism and showed great talent in monasticism, and even became a cow-headed man.
The next generation's successor.
He Yuansi couldn't figure out what Cao Su was thinking, but he was already in a passive situation when the two of them went to the capital of the gods together.
The horse under Cao Su's crotch was half a body faster than him. The two of them were silent all the way. When they were about to enter the city of God, they took a rest in a wine shop outside the city.
The wine shop was full of people from all over the world. On a hot summer day, many people only wore short shirts. Some people were wild and wild, exposing their breasts and talking loudly, which was full of the atmosphere of the world.
The sharp-eyed boy came over to hold the horses for Cao Su and He Yuansi, and warmly greeted them to go inside.
The two of them found a seat by the window and sat down. Cao Su ordered some food and a jug of good wine.
He Yuansi looked at the food on the table with a look of nostalgia.
"He Daochang, the immortal among the gods, has not been able to eat the fireworks of the world for a long time, right?"
Cao Su smiled slightly and poured wine for He Yuansi.
Although the two of them were talking in ordinary terms, Cao Su still used a hint of inner strength skills. If people around him listened carefully, they would find that they could not hear what Cao Su said at all.
He Yuansi is a successful Qi practitioner and has stopped eating grains for a long time.
He sighed and said: "Time flies like water. When I came to Shendu, Shendu was not like this."
"When did the Taoist master come to the capital of God?"
Cao Su saw that He Yuansi was not too old, but as a Taoist, he had the skills to look good, and his age could not be judged just from the appearance.
Sure enough, He Yuansi said a number that shocked Cao Su slightly - seventy years.
Seventy years ago, He Yuansi came to Shendu. At that time, He Yuansi was just a young boy who yearned for the pleasure of revenge like a knight in the world.
In this way, He Yuansi should be over ninety years old. Cao Su looked at He Yuansi silently and found that the corners of He Yuansi's eyebrows did have some vicissitudes of life, but without looking carefully, he just thought he was
He is a middle-aged man.
"Life is short, and seventy years can pass by in a blink of an eye. If I hadn't practiced Taoism to seek immortality, half of my feet would have already been in the coffin."
He Yuansi was deeply touched. Unlike Cao Su, who was full of vigor and vitality that could be seen with the naked eye, He Yuansi, who had practiced for more than seventy years, had a bit of heavy twilight energy in his body.
"Daozhang He, there is no need to miss the past too much."
"A famous person once said that the past is history, the future is a mystery, and only 'today' is a gift from God."
Cao Su couldn't help but start to "teach" again. He Yuansi trembled and was touched by Cao Su's three words.
He looked at Cao Su blankly, his eyes somewhat out of focus.
"This moment is the meaning of our existence. It is never 'past' or 'future'." Cao Su said with a smile. Both sentences are very philosophical, and ordinary people will be very inspired after hearing them.
Not to mention a nearly centenarian like He Yuansi who has experienced the world of human life.
He Yuansi's heart swayed for a while, and he felt that his Taoist heart was shaking. He glanced at Cao Su with a wry smile: "The general should go to practice Taoism. Practicing martial arts is a bit of a waste of talent."
"I practice Taoism?"
Cao Su laughed dumbly: "What kind of Tao should I cultivate? What kind of Tao can I cultivate? Most of the Tao in this world have been walked by predecessors. There is no point in cultivating it over and over again. It is better to train the mind as a martial artist, which is more suitable for me."
The ascetics are happy to live forever, but they are also shackles. Ordinary ascetics are not as free as warriors.
Cao Su will definitely not give up martial arts. His world-shaking martial arts is the nemesis of these ascetics. Although the ascetics have fancy methods, most of them are very thin and cannot withstand too much in the struggle with others.
Many mistakes.
In a word, a martial artist can fail many times and still come back, but as a monk, as long as he makes one mistake, it may be fatal.
What Cao Su has been pursuing since he came to this world is a sense of security. The life of a monk is thinner than paper, and the blood tank of a warrior is thicker, which suits his psychology.
He Yuansi listened to Cao Su's words, but he only thought that Cao Su looked down on Taoists.
That's right, Cao Su has already cultivated to the first level of the Strength Realm, and the next step is for Cao Su to break through the Xuan Realm. As long as Cao Su breaks through the Xuan Realm, Cao Su's lifespan will also be greatly increased, which is equivalent to that of a Taoist.
, you can become a fairy.
Cao Su picked up the wine bowl and drank heavily and ate meat.
He Yuansi faced this table of "human fireworks", but he didn't have much appetite.
He asked Cao Su anxiously: "General, why do you want to enter the capital of God with He? He's martial arts is not as good as the general, and his strength is not as good as the general. If he can help the general, I'm afraid he can't do anything.
This is quite a clever brain, and the general also said just now that He is a smart man."
"Don't worry, your intelligence and wisdom will be of great use to me, and I have no other reason for calling you here."
Cao Su revealed a little bit to He Yuansi: "As I told you before, I want to ask you to help arrange some things."
"Of course, although these things do not violate the rules of your Niushou Mountain, once they are discovered by the Guards Department in the divine capital, it will be a matter of losing your head."
He Yuansi heard the word "head off" again, and his face suddenly became unhappy.
Cao Su was too violent and would have his head sacrificed at every turn.
How can he not violate Niu Shou Shan's rules now? He has become Cao Su's puppet. Niu Shou Shan's face will be completely humiliated by him. If the master brother finds out, how can he be able to get away with it?
He was depressed and even more silent.
But Cao Su was not affected in the slightest. As a first-class martial artist, he needed to consume an astonishing amount of calories every day. After finishing the table, he asked the servants to bring another table of food and drinks, and he enjoyed eating alone.
After noon, the restaurant became increasingly noisy.
After Cao Su paid the bill, he left the wine shop with He Yuansi. The two of them took the fast horses and came to a certain cloth shop at the entrance of the town. They changed into clean clothes without disturbing anyone.
Next, he sneaked into the divine capital city quietly.
-------------------
At Yangping Pass, Chu Xinfeng was stunned.
The Grand Master has said that there will be a wave of strong support, and the number of Qi Refiners supported will exceed twenty.
As a result, there were only a handful of Qigong practitioners who came to the camp.
Where else is there?
Realizing that something was wrong, Chu Xinfeng did not dare to act rashly and immediately sent a letter back to Shendu, asking for a clear answer from Shendu.
Finally, there was the reply from the Taishi Mansion. Two batches of monks were gathered from different places to support them. The second batch of monks was more numerous, mainly headed by He Yuansi, the master of Niushou Mountain, and including three great monks in the late stage of Danjie.
.
"Where are the people?"
Chu Xinfeng felt a chill in his heart, and immediately dispatched his soldiers to expand the scope of the expedition, hoping to find the second batch of monastic supporters.
But there were no concrete results. This second batch of supporters seemed to have disappeared from the world, and no one could be found at all.
"There are two possibilities."
Taoist Tianyuan looked ugly and made a hypothesis in front of Chu Xinfeng: "One is that they encountered a crack in the realm and fell into a new small realm. They couldn't find the exit for a while, so they couldn't come.
Yangping Pass."
There is a source for what Tianyuan Taoist said about falling into the small world. In the past, there was an amazing young disciple in Qixing Mountain who fell into the small world.
Everyone thought he was dead, so they prepared a grand funeral and a tomb for him.
The young disciple had been trapped in the small world for thirty-three years. Thirty-three years later, the young disciple found an exit and successfully escaped, but found that everything had changed. The sect had long regarded him as a dead person, and his Tao
My parents all thought so, and my Taoist partner even found a new Taoist partner.
Seeing such a scene, the disciple of Qixing Mountain was furious. In his anger, he actually became a demon, and the Qixing Mountain was almost destroyed.
This was also the darkest period in the history of the Qixing Mountain Sect. If the demon had not finally broken through the Nascent Soul Realm and was pulled into Tongtian City, Qixing Mountain might have been uprooted.
Chu Xinfeng nodded slightly, it was not impossible, it could only be said that the possibility was a bit low.
Taoist Tianyuan made the second hypothesis, which is also a possibility that everyone has thought of now: "The second is that someone from the north took action, General Cao Su..."
When Tianyuan Taoist said this, Chu Xinfeng immediately retorted: "How is this possible? How did Cao Su get the news that the monks would come to Yangping Pass to support him?"
"How could Cao Su get accurate information to find the route and time of these fellow Taoists?"
"Also, even if he knows that there are so many qi masters, even if they can't defeat Cao Su, it won't be a matter of a moment to escape with the help of earth escape and escape light. Can Cao Su catch them all?"
Chu Xinfeng asked Taoist Tianyuan three times, but the Taoist priest was speechless.
Taoist Tianyuan corrected him: "Pindao is just a hypothesis. After all, there is no news now, so we can only rely on this direction.
Xin Tianming, a veteran of Qixing Mountain, spoke at this time: "General Chu, what Tian Yuan said makes sense. Since that night, Cao Su knew that we set up a 'wind borrowing formation' to ambush in advance, it can only mean one thing.
.”
"What does it mean?"
Chu Xinfeng frowned and his face was ashen.
Xin Tianming said what he had to say without any cover-up: "It means there are bad people in the Grand Master's camp!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
The generals here are all people who claim to be loyal to the Grand Master. Now a veteran from outside has begun to doubt everyone's loyalty. What is this?
The arrogant soldiers under Chu Xinfeng were furious and scolded the old man: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"The straight bitch started talking nonsense again!"
"I have long said that these bullshit guys are unreliable, and now they are suspicious of us. What do you want to do? If you don't accept it, come out and challenge us!"
There was suddenly a lot of noise in the camp, and there were so many loud "buzzing" voices that it made Chu Xinfeng's head hurt.
Chu Xinfeng's face turned ugly, and he suddenly slapped the table: "Okay, stop arguing!"
The general became angry, and everyone stopped talking. The Qigong practitioners looked at their noses, mouths, mouths, and hearts, looking silent.
Most of the generals were filled with righteous indignation, and Chu Xinfeng also understood that at this time, no one could remain calm.
If you are still so calm, everything that is not a problem will become a problem. Therefore, the anger you feel now is not so much the injustice and grievance of being suspected, but it is better to say that it is a normal way to whitewash oneself.
a subconscious reaction.
"I have my own mind on this matter."
Chu Xinfeng was unwilling to conduct a thorough investigation into the army. Once a thorough investigation was conducted into the army, it would take more than a day or two.
At present, Cao Jun's reinforcements are about to arrive at Yangping Pass. Yangping Pass is impregnable. If he wastes time to rectify his military affairs, will Yangping Pass be conquered in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse?
But Chu Xinfeng is a famous general who knows military law, so how can he not know the bad influence of bad people in the army?
Xin Tianming's words make sense, and his implication is that the leak of information in the military is most likely the work of the higher-ups. After all, there are relatively few sources of information for the soldiers at the bottom, and the information channels are also very single. The information is not well-informed. Only in the military
The general has specific information.
"From the destruction of the formation on Yangpingguan Mountain to the disappearance of the support team of Qi Refiners from Taishi Mansion, all signs indicate that the enemy has now mastered all our movements. It will definitely not work to act rashly at this time."
】
Chu Xinfeng gritted his teeth and finally decided to check himself first. This matter could not be delayed.
The enemy is in darkness but he is in the dark. If we cannot find this black sheep, the war will become more passive in the future. This is the best way to turn passive into proactive.
Chu Xinfeng patted the table again. He had extremely strong control over his strength. He seemed to have used a lot of force to pat a table that would break if he patted it lightly. It made a loud noise, but the table didn't break at all.
Not broken.
He said coldly: "Starting today, I will personally investigate all of you. If it is found that you are safe, then Chu will personally apologize. But if you can't tell me the reason, then don't blame Chu."
You’re welcome!”
Chu Xinfeng made a prompt decision and decided to start a wave of team rectification work with an inward edge.
As soon as these words came out, the generals in the camp trembled in their hearts. Seeing that the general was already resolute, it was difficult to refute, but a feeling of panic suddenly filled them.
----------------
Yangping Pass, after Cao Su left.
Luo Yi and Du Ning fell into anxiety. There were no top experts in the pass. If the opponent attacked forcefully, this battle would not be easy.
Fortunately, not long after, Wang Qing, Heng Xuesong, Hong Ding and others arrived at the pass.
The number of high-grade warriors within the pass began to increase.
At the same time, Luo Yi continued to strengthen patrols on the mountains on both sides, dug deep trenches, and set up antlers, preparing to fight Chu Xinfeng to the end at Yangping Pass to prevent the other party from entering Jizhou.
A few days later, Luo Yushu, Miao Hongji and others also arrived at Yangping Pass, and the number of top-grade warriors in Yangping Pass continued to increase.
As Cao Su's special commissioner, Shi Yong also personally led a tiger and leopard guard to Yangping Pass.
But everyone felt strange why Shi Yong came but didn't see the general.
