After Kong Ji and Jing Tianlie entered, the monk returned to Zhaoti Temple not far away, while the others waited at the door to drink the cold air.
Jing Feng did not recover and returned to the carriage to rest. Jiang Lin pulled Chen Yuxin aside and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why did Jade Buddha Pass fall so quickly? General..."
Jingtian Lie sent Jiang Lin to the Xixia royal court to ask for help, promising to be attached to Xixia in the future and dedicating the Jade Buddha Pass to King Shi Le.
This promise condition was very tempting. King Shi Le and Monk Kong Ji thought about it again and again and decided that they could not send troops, but they could send a master to help Jing Tianlie guard the Jade Buddha Pass.
In this way, it will not break the agreement with Tianxiahui, but also prevent Long Chen from getting Jingtianlie and Jade Buddha Pass.
However, when Monk Kongji arrived at Jade Buddha Pass, Jade Buddha Pass had been lost and Jing Tianlie was beaten half to death.
Monk Kongji retreated to seek the next best option, and then retreated after rescuing Sedum Lie.
Chen Yuxin sighed: "Long Chengen is so weird. We gathered troops in the city to prepare for a night attack. He took the opportunity to throw kerosene bombs. We were in chaos and many people were burned to death. Then he took advantage of the situation to launch an attack and the city gate was breached.
"
Jiang Lin asked strangely: "How did Long Chengen know that we were gathering for a night attack?"
Chen Yuxin asked helplessly: "If the news of the major general's return to reinforcements can be leaked, what does it mean to leak the news of the night attack?"
Jiang Lin remained silent.
"The combat effectiveness of the Long Family Army is beyond my imagination. I thought a new recruit was nothing. I didn't expect it to be so powerful. It should be said that the weapons are too powerful. Giant crossbows and kerosene bombs are both powerful weapons. We ate them.
The loss of weapons."
Chen Yuxin was thinking about why the Red Flame Army was defeated miserably along the way, and finally concluded that the weapons were not good enough.
Jiang Lin asked: "What happened to the general? Is he besieged?"
Chen Yuxin looked gloomy and sighed: "No, they challenged each other..."
Jiang Lin had a look of disbelief on his face and asked in a low voice: "The general lost to Long Chengen in a duel? And he lost so miserably? Didn't Long Chengen break through with the help of Yang Jing Stone? How could this happen?"
Chen Yuxin shook her head helplessly and said, "Don't ask me about this, I don't know either."
Along the way, Chen Yuxin did not dare to mention this matter.
At the Zhenguo Temple, when Jing Tianlie ran in, Chen Yuxin was frightened by his appearance.
His hands were beaten to a bloody pulp, his nose was broken, his eyes were bleeding, his mouth was bleeding, and his chest goggles were flattened. He collapsed and passed out as soon as he entered the door.
Fortunately, Monk Kongji came later and rescued and treated Jingtianlie's injuries, otherwise he would have been dead.
Jiang Lin looked back at Jing Feng's carriage and sighed: "I hope the Imperial Preceptor can cure the big general and the little general."
Monk Kongji's medical skills are said to be very good.
Chen Yuxin looked at the palace, shook her head slightly and said, "I wonder if Xixia is willing to take us in."
The current Red Flame Army is not the former Red Flame Army. It only has 40,000 troops left. Jing Tianlie and Jing Feng are seriously injured. The only generals under their command are Jiang Lin and Chen Yuxin. Lu Gan is crippled and the other generals cannot be used.
Jiang Lin also sighed slightly and looked at the palace in trance.
The side hall of the palace.
Monk Kong Ji pushed the door open and went in, followed by Jing Tianlie. Sitting inside was a man wearing a dragon robe, with a long face and a beard, brown hair, and brown eyes.
He has not much flesh on his face, has piercing eyes, is tall and thin, and has an extraordinary temperament.
This person is Shi Le, King of Xixia.
"Your Majesty."
Monk Kongji put his hands together and saluted.
Jing Tianlie stood behind Kong Ji, bowed slightly to Shi Le and saluted, and said with shame: "I am seriously injured and cannot salute. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Shi Le received the news from Monk Kong Ji and knew that Jing Tianlie was injured, but he did not expect that Jing Tianlie was injured so seriously.
"Oh... General, no courtesy, please take a seat."
Shi Le's voice was loud and majestic, with a slightly disappointed look on his face.
Monk Kongji sits on the left and Jing Tianlie sits on the right.
"After receiving a letter from the general asking for help, I sent national troops to reinforce the Jade Buddha Pass, but I didn't expect that Long Cheng'en was so powerful that he actually broke through the pass."
Jing Tianlie was so ashamed that he replied: "The king is laughing at you. That guy Long Chengen is full of tricks. I am not careful enough."
Shi Le nodded slightly and said: "Now that we have arrived in Xixia, let's stay here. The imperial preceptor has superb medical skills and should be able to cure the general's injury. The Red Flame Army will be stationed outside the city with the food and salary provided by me."
Jingtian Lie said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking me in. I will definitely go through fire and water for Xixia to resist the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
Shi Le chuckled and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Jing Tianlie stood up and left the side hall.
The guard closed the door, and Shi Le asked Kong Ji: "How could this happen? Didn't Long Chengen rely on Yang Jing Stone to break through, and his cultivation is not good enough?"
Jingtian Lie was a strong man at the peak of Emperor Wu. He had guarded the Jade Buddha Pass for many years. Xixia had fought with Jingtian Lie and knew how powerful Jingtian Lie was.
Shi Le was surprised that such a powerful person could be defeated so miserably.
This time he violated the agreement with Tianxiahui and sent Monk Kongji to take action because Shi Le felt that Long Chen was too powerful and must stop Long Chen.
Monk Kongji shook his head slightly and said, "The poor monk fought against Long Chengen last night."
Shi Le quickly asked: "How?"
Monk Kongji frowned and said, "It's strange. He seemed to be crazy at that time. The poor monk had a hard time fighting him."
As he spoke, Monk Kongji rolled up his sleeves, and his forearms were covered with bruises.
Shi Le stood up in surprise, looked at Monk Kong Ji's arm, and asked in disbelief: "Is this left by Long Chengen?"
Monk Kongji nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Long Chengen was in a state of demonization at that time, and he only wanted to fight."
Shi Le asked: "How strong does the national master think Long Chengen is?"
Monk Kong Ji thought for a long time and said slowly: "The poor monk thinks... maybe it was still in the early stage of Emperor Wu. The poor monk guessed that he and Jing Tianlie fought fiercely, which aroused the Yang Jing Stone in his body, so he showed symptoms of being possessed."
"Does Your Majesty remember Cheng Weizhi, the great eunuch before the Eastern Zhou Dynasty? He was like this at that time."
When Cheng Wei took Yang Jing Stone to break through, although his cultivation level was not high, once he broke out, he could instantly exert his strength beyond the peak of the Martial Emperor.
But after the outbreak, the whole person will be disabled and the body will be severely overdrawn.
Shi Le nodded slightly: "That's good, you can send someone to find out."
Monk Kongji nodded and said, "Maybe we can send someone as an envoy to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to find out what's going on."
Shi Le agreed: "Yes, I agree."
Jing Tianlie came out of the palace, Jiang Lin and others were waiting at the door.
"General."
A group of people gathered around, waiting for Shi Le's decision.
At this time, the Red Flame Army is like a bereaved dog and is in urgent need of being taken in by its owner.
Jing Tianlie said happily: "The king promised to take us in, and the food and salary will be allocated."
Everyone was overjoyed and felt like they finally belonged.
Not long after, the eunuch Ma Fang came out of the palace and took Jing Tianlie to stay in the city. He also arranged a military camp for the Red Flame Army. Jing Tianlie was grateful and settled in Xixia.
....
Xifeng Town.
Long Chen walked into the room, Bai Tingting was leaning on the bed, and the female soldier was feeding her medicine.
"Do you feel better today?"
Long Chen sat beside him sadly.
Bai Tingting's face is still a little pale, her spirit is not very good, and her body is very weak.
"Better, how about you?"
Long Chen's hand was still wrapped with gauze and he smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'll be fine in a few days."
Bai Tingting smiled weakly and said: "You said it's okay. You can't touch Zhang Qian even if you want to."
Long Chen smiled and said, "You know me, Tingting. The biggest inconvenience is that you can't touch it."
After Bai Tingting drank the medicine, the female soldier helped her lie down to rest. Long Chen fell asleep with her before coming out of the room.
The waiter came over and said, "Master Long, the shopkeeper invites you."
Long Chen said: "Please lead the way."
Following the waiter, Long Chen entered the room of the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn.
