Birds stopped at the eaves of the tower to comb their feathers.
In the rising morning sun, Li Anfu, who walked up the tower, came here early. He had not been able to sleep well these days. He came here every morning to look out, and then returned to the city to continue waiting for the news.
Only two days ago, the scout reported back that the Juqi camp was burned. He was so excited that he walked around the house all night, looking at the map to figure out the movement of the cavalry, but he never came back with any news.
The mood of waiting is anxious, as this is a matter of life and death for two thousand cavalry, and also involves his future career.
While thinking about it, he heard the sound of footsteps. Li Anfu turned around and saw that it was Yun He, the Taoist priest of the Tianshi Mansion, who had also climbed up the city wall. He walked to the wall stacks with a mahogany sword on his back and a fly whisk in his hand to take a longing look.
"The Taoist Master is also worried?"
Yun He smiled and then nodded: "It's been a few days. I've been calculating with my fingers and guessing that it's all the upper hexagrams. But I can't see it with my own eyes, so I feel uneasy after all."
"I thought it was just me, but it turns out the Taoist priest is also like this."
After catching someone with the same mood, Li Anfu could finally confide his doubts and anxieties to the other party, mostly about "How will the god use his troops?" "Can the Taoist Master calculate how many people were lost?" "Now they have hit them.
Where” and so on.
Just as the two of them were muttering, there were patrolling cavalry outside. They rushed back and saw two figures standing on the city tower. They reined in their horses and stopped under the city wall. They held their hands and said: "General Qi, we saw Taoist Master Yunlong."
Coming back with a monk!"
"oh?!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Li Anfu's face, but he soon calmed down. He leaned against the wall and looked far away, "Can you see the cavalry in the army coming back with them?"
"Back to General, this is not the case."
"General Li, don't be anxious. The soldiers in the army are brave and will be fine."
Yun He said with a smile, but actually he was not sure at all, but why did the senior fellow monk and the monk come back, and why did Fellow Daoist Chen still have two thousand cavalry?
He looked into the distance, and sure enough, not long after, two figures came back with a journey of dust. They were wearing monk robes, and the monk's robes were mottled with dark red blood and stains. They looked a bit scary from a distance. When they got closer, Yun He and Li Anfu hurriedly came down.
Go to the city gate to greet you, and if you get closer, you can smell the fishy smell.
"Brother, why do you look like this?" Upon seeing this, Yun He hurriedly cast a spell to remove the blood stains on the robe. In his opinion, this somewhat stained the Taoist robe.
"No, just let the blood of these barbarians stay."
Yunlong is old, and even a cultivator will be tired if he casts spells and kills with his sword among tens of thousands of troops. The Zhenhai monk next to him is much younger, his face is still plain, he just clasped his hands in greeting to Li Anfu and Yunlong
He bowed and walked straight to the post house.
The two took off their clothes in the room, took a shower and washed themselves, then fell asleep on the couch until a quarter past midnight, when they woke up.
After changing into new clothes, Yunlong and Zhenhai sat in the room, waiting for Li Anfu to come over, and then talked about the events of the past few days.
When they heard that the cavalry was surrounding them, they encircled them for reinforcements, bit by bit encroaching on the outside camp of the Hu people, and finally broke through the rear camp and entered, setting fire to kill people everywhere, creating chaos, and finally surrounded the Hu people.
Li Anfu smacked his thighs excitedly, what a great achievement! He quickly asked: "Then what? Are the two thousand knights escorting the captives back now? No wonder it's so slow."
"The prisoner...has been buried."
"Well buried, buried... ah?!" Li Anfu's smile froze, and when he came to his senses, he stood up from the chair with his eyes wide open and raised several fingers, "All buried?!"
"To be precise, it was a trap killing! The leader of the army said that soldiers are very fast and two thousand cavalry are not enough to guard 30,000 barbarians, and there is no food for them to eat, so they simply dig holes overnight and bury them deep in batches." Taoist Master Yunlong
He picked up the tea and blew on the floating tea stalks, "The poor Taoist accompanied the army and saw the cruelty of the barbarians. All the traps and killings were to give them an advantage!"
It wasn't that Li Anfu felt uneasy because he was trapping and killing barbarians, but he felt that so many people had made a huge contribution. If he just buried it like this, there was no way anyone would use it to criticize him in the future.
"Then... what happens next? Can the troops return?"
"The soldiers and horses were very fast, they rescued the prisoners in the army, marched all the way across the state and county, and entered Yujian Pass." Yunlong also followed, took back the pass, and entered the border of the Western Regions all the way. He saw a group of people from the Western Regions looking at them tremblingly, even if
As a practitioner, I can't help but feel a sense of heroism.
"Yi Di surrendered, as a man would do!"
Hahaha!
After saying that, Taoist Yunlong burst into laughter. His laughter made the window lattice and door frame shake slightly, and dust fell from the tiles on the roof.
Monk Zhenhai closed his eyes with a vertical seal, chuckled lightly, then got up and went to the back room to chant sutras and do his homework.
At this time, Li Anfu knew that Yujian Pass had been recaptured, and he could not be described as excited. He was only one of the northwest garrison, not as high as Gansha and Guazhou. With such an achievement in his hands, what would happen to the pit?
Killing prisoners is no big deal.
After talking for a while, Li Anfu saw that the two Taoist priests had other things to say, so he said goodbye and left. After they left, the room became quiet, and amid the faint sound of chanting sutras, Yun He asked Chen
The matter of the kite.
"Why didn't Fellow Daoist Chen come back with his senior brother?"
"He has his own things to do. Incense and Fire Divine Way, if you invite the gods to come over, you should send the gods away with peace of mind, right?" Old Taoist Yunlong was obviously different from the past. He looked at the junior brother in front of him, was silent for a moment, and talked about something else.
if.
"The imperial court will take over this matter. When you and I return to the Tianshi Mansion, I should apologize to the Tianshi and then bid farewell."
"Farewell?"
"Leave the Tianshi Mansion, go out to practice, and take a good look at the world." Seeing his junior brother's doubts, Old Taoist Yunlong smiled even more: "I have been with fellow Taoist Chen these days, and sometimes I hear his simple words, but there are some hidden truths, which makes me feel enlightened.
, Immortality is one person and one mountain, but if you don’t even do it well, how can you enter the mountain? Even if you can enter, you will just sit in the mountain mansion and dream of immortality."
"After leaving the mountain, how will senior brother practice? Subdue demons and eliminate demons?"
"Conquering demons and eliminating demons is spiritual practice, indulging in mountains and rivers is spiritual practice, rescuing people from danger is spiritual practice, lying on a haystack with wine and singing loudly is spiritual practice. Every word and deed in this world is a spiritual practice, it just depends on how you go about it.
Done."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yunlong's eyes were full of energy, and he was not troubled by the previous killings. Instead, he acted with a sense of freedom and ease. He caressed his sleeves lightly and walked straight out of the door with his peach wood sword on his back.
.
Yun He was stunned when he saw it, and hurriedly chased out the door, raising his hands.
"Congratulations, senior brother, for clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, I have an epiphany in my heart!"
"Hahaha!"
The old Taoist's laughter echoed across the roof, "When fellow Taoist Chen comes back, we will go back to the Tianshi Mansion!"
The sun was shining brightly, shining down on the eaves of the house. White clouds were wandering in the distant sky. In the ruined camp, two thousand soldiers sat quietly on horseback, looking at the captain who was leading them forward. He raised his hands and looked at them.
Say goodbye.
"The march is short, but you are all excellent Han men. I am very lucky to be able to work with you!"
The two thousand cavalrymen were silent, and the corners of some people's eyes were wet with water. After spending the past few days together, they more or less knew that the young captain in front of them was not the same one at all.
But a god-man.
A soldier called out the name he heard occasionally, drew out his sword, raised it, and shouted: "Jun Wu'an, Bai Qi!"
The silent figures all around drew their swords and raised them above their heads.
"Wu Anjun!!"
"Wu Anjun!!"
The roars made the figure on the horse laugh, and there were wet marks in his eyes. He slowly raised his hands and clasped his fists heavily at the cavalry who were looking at each other: "It's enough for you to know!"
The two thousand cavalrymen all raised their hands and clasped their fists: "That's enough!"
Bai Qi smiled and nodded, waving to them, indicating that they should turn around and return to Guangwei. Some people were unwilling, but they were glared at by Bai Qi, and they followed the group slowly to the southeast.
A gust of wind blew.
The captain on the horse suddenly trembled, regained consciousness, and looked at everything around him in confusion. Before he had time to ask, the horse that sat down took him straight away.
The woods rustled.
Chen Yuan stood under the shade of the tree, watching the group of cavalry go away. He turned back and looked into the forest. He saw a figure in armor and holding a long sword standing there quietly, thanking him.
