Xu Zhiqiong arrived at Canglong Hall and conveyed Taibu's words to Liang Jixiong.
Liang Jixiong laughed when he heard this and said: "What an old thief, when will it be his turn to point fingers at me?"
Although he was dissatisfied, Liang Jixiong still accepted Taibu's suggestion: "I will go to Luzhou alone. You should be more careful along the way as you go with the army."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "I will leave from the Yin and Yang Array first, and maybe I will arrive one step earlier than my second brother."
Liang Jixiong was a little worried: "I can't rest assured about leaving the army to Yu Shan."
Xu Zhiqiong sighed: "Without you and me, who are hated by others, the army will be much less dangerous."
The two looked at each other and smiled. After the smile, Xu Zhiqiong did not forget to warn: "Second brother, if you cannot arrive at Luzhou safely, all the good men who went on the expedition today will be ruined."
Liang Jixiong said: "I was just about to talk to you about this, if something happened to me on the way..."
"Don't tell me this. You can't make any mistakes. You have thousands of lives on your back."
…
At dawn, Wang Zhennan put on his uniform, put on his sword, carried his bag, picked up his lantern, and prepared to go out.
The wife, Ms. Liu, pulled Wang Zhennan's sleeve and said with tears in her eyes: "Husband, why are you going to the battlefield with a crippled arm?"
Wang Zhennan wiped Mrs. Liu's tears: "The arm is broken, but the spine is not broken. How can we Daxuan men bow to those idiots in Tunu?"
"What are you talking about? I, a woman, can't understand!" Mrs. Liu hugged Wang Zhennan and said, "I'll find someone to tell you about a concubine with two rooms. I've already checked it out first. The girl is handsome. You are really willing to give it up."
Walk?"
Wang Zhennan said: "While I'm away these days, I have to take care of things at home."
"Our family is not short of land, nor is it short of money. Why don't you quit this job and live a good life with us?"
Wang Zhennan let out a long sigh, pulled off his wife's arm, and silently walked out the door.
…
Meng Shizhen was fully dressed, drank a bowl of wine, wiped her mouth and said, "I'm leaving!"
Chen Jiuer helped Meng Shizhen carry her luggage and sighed: "My belly is not up to par, how come I can't conceive a baby for you!"
"What are you talking about? Having a baby is a worry. If the baby loses his father, I don't know how much suffering he will suffer."
Chen Jiuer laughed and said, "If you die on the battlefield, be sure to ask someone to bring you a message back."
"Don't worry. Just accept the letter and remarry as soon as possible. Don't guard me for a day."
"Why should I guard you? Anyway, this is not my first time getting married!"
Meng Shizhen walked out of the alley, and Chen Jiuer stood behind him, watching with a smile on his face, watching Meng Shizhen's back disappear into the morning mist.
Smiling and laughing, tears suddenly fell down.
"My life is miserable, why did I meet such a good guy like you? If I had known earlier, I would have gone back to the Peach Blossom Pavilion to dance.
If your special mother dies, I will follow you there, and you will never abandon me in the next life!"
…
Liu Pu'an stood at the door of the toilet, holding his sword in his arms, and said with an impatient look: "I say, Old Ma, you have been squatting for half an hour, you should come out soon."
"It's almost, that's all, if you let me try harder, I'll be fine in no time!"
"Stop trying so hard, you're just going to pull out your intestines, and we have to leave anyway!"
…
Tong Qingqiu and Han Chen left the Onmyoji Division together. Seeing that Han Chen was not in good spirits, Tong Qingqiu said: "Brother, did you not sleep well last night?"
Han Chen remained silent. He offended Taibu yesterday and was trapped in Tong Qingqiu's room all day and night. He really didn't sleep well at night.
Tong Qingqiu sighed: "This is also the first time for me to fight. I tossed and turned and didn't sleep all night."
Han Chen nodded and said: "Tossing and turning, I know that. I kept listening to the two of you tossing and turning in the outer room last night. You still ask me if I slept well?"
…
Two thousand mighty troops, one hundred lantern-bearing men, one hundred Onmyoji, plus more than a thousand troops under the Ministry of War, the group left the capital in a mighty manner.
Chu He saw Wu Shanxing's figure in the team, and stepped forward and joked: "You don't take a good look at the city gate, but you run out to die?"
Wu Shanxing snorted coldly: "Don't worry, grandpa will live longer than you!"
"I heard that on the battlefield, a human life is worth less than an ant."
"If you don't know how to fight, you will die if you go there. When you get to the battlefield, follow me closely, and I guarantee that you will come back in good condition."
Chu He sneered: "Say it as if you have been in a war!"
Wu Shanxing smiled and said: "It depends on talent. I am born to be a fighter."
Yu Shan walked from the front of the team to Chu He and shouted: "No whispering during the march!"
Chu He curled his lips, Wu Shanxing shrugged his eyebrows and remained silent.
Qiao Shungang said from the side: "You won't give in even after a few words? Are you going to kill people all the way?"
Yu Shan frowned and said, "The military camp has military camp rules!"
"Speak your rules to your sergeant. The lantern holder can't understand your rules!"
Seeing the two of them arguing, Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward to persuade Yu Shan to leave, and walked side by side with Qiao Shungang:
"Brother Qiao, I won't follow the team this time. You should try not to conflict with Yu Shan along the way."
Qiao Shungang snorted: "Don't worry, I promise not to beat him to death!"
The team was ten miles out of the city, and Yu Guangyuan was in a small pavilion, watching Yu Shan off with his eldest son Yu Ren.
Seeing Yu Shan wearing armor and walking among the team, Yu Ren's eyes were a little strange.
Growing up, he had always looked down on Yu Shan. The eldest son was the eldest son, and his status in the family was not comparable to that of other brothers.
But today, all the family's eyes were focused on Yu Shan, and the attention that originally belonged to him was completely snatched away by Yu Shan.
Especially my father.
Yu Guangyuan's eyes were very complicated. He looked at Yu Shan with both reluctance and pride. Tears were in his eyes, but his waist was straight.
Yu Ren felt that he had no sense of existence, so he found something to say: "Father, if you miss Xiaoshan, I will call him."
Yu Ren was about to go, but was stopped by Yu Guangyuan.
"Don't go, don't mess with his mind, don't mess with his ambition, you don't know what war is, you don't know what the Northern Expedition is!" Yu Guangyuan choked up, "My son, I will return in triumph!"
…
The army marched forward for more than ten miles, and the Onmyoji began to arrange the first level of the formation.
This heavy magic circle can allow the army to move forward quickly for thirty miles. It may not seem like much, but if accumulated along the way, the journey can be shortened by more than half.
Yu Shan shouted to everyone: "Stand in line and don't cross the line drawn by the Onmyoji. If someone falls behind, others should not chase or drag them. The Onmyoji will deal with it on its own!"
Not long after, smoke rose, the magic circle took effect, and everyone flew forward with their feet close to the ground.
Ma Guangli hated the Yin-Yang magic circle the most. He felt sick to his stomach when he stepped on it.
"I asked if you could stop for a while so I can find a place for convenience!"
Meng Shizhen said angrily: "I'll find a stopper for you to stop it, so as not to embarrass me along the way!"
Xu Zhiqiong glanced at Qiao Shungang, and Qiao Shungang whispered: "Don't worry and go."
Xu Zhiqiong pretended to slip under his feet and fell out of the clouds. Chu He shouted: "No! Zhiqiong, then, that Xu Qianhu fell behind!"
Qiao Shungang shouted: "Why are you shouting? Just wait for the Onmyoji to deal with it!"
Yu Shan looked at Han Chen, who frowned and said, "What's going on? Why did Zhiqiong fall behind? You go first, I'll go find him."
As soon as Han Chen walked out of the magic circle, he saw Tong Qingqiu following him: "Brother, don't worry about Zhiqiong, someone will pick him up."
…
Xu Zhiqiong jumped out of the magic circle and was caught by Tao Huayuan from behind, taking him into a forest.
"Tao'er, what are you doing here? Why don't you go back to Yin Yang Division?"
Tao Huayuan said: "There is no need to go back to the Yin and Yang Division. Master said that the magic circle has been prepared here and can send us directly to the north."
Northern Territory.
Taibu always talks about the north.
"Is Taibu going to send us to Luzhou?"
Tao Huayuan said in surprise: "Where else could it be if it wasn't Luzhou?"
"As long as it's Luzhou, let's set off quickly."
Tao Huayuan sprinkled some mercury on the ground, and the mercury disappeared in an instant.
"The magic circle is not ready yet, please wait for a while."
It only took a while, but it was noon.
Xu Zhiqiong was tired of waiting, so he leaned under the tree, stretched and said: "If I had known that we would be delayed for so long, it would be better to go back to Yin Yang Division and set off from Qianmo Tower. We will have arrived in Luzhou long ago."
Tao Huayuan also found it puzzling: "Master asked us to wait here, but I don't know what his intention was."
More than half an hour later, the mercury on the ground suddenly appeared and turned into a pair of yin and yang fish spinning on the ground.
Tao Huayuan smiled and said: "The magic circle is here, let's go!"
The two stepped onto the magic circle, and the yin-yang fish rose up from under their feet, disappearing into the thick fog with the two of them.
A pair of yin and yang fish intertwined in the thick fog, turning into a giant black and white hand, holding the two of them forward quickly with its palm.
Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "It's just a teleportation circle, why does it need to be so fancy?"
The fingers of the giant hand suddenly moved.
Tao Huayuan looked pale and said: "Don't talk nonsense, this is Xingjun's true body, a hand on his true body."
Xu Zhiqiong blinked and said, "Which Xingjun?"
"Sheng Ke Shuang Xing!" Tao Huayuan tightened her grip on Xu Zhiqiong's arm, "Master borrowed the right hand of Sheng Ke Shuang Xing!"
The twin stars of life and death, the protector of the Yin and Yang family.
Yin and Yang are protected by two heavenly stars, one is the birth star and the other is the nemesis. The two stars are inseparable. From a mortal perspective, they look like one person in black and white, but they are actually two entities.
This hand was lent to Taibu by the twin stars of Shengke and Shengke. I don’t know the specific method.
It’s just a trip to Luzhou, why does Xingjun need to take action?
This scene is too big!
The two of them sat on Xingjun's right hand for most of the day. It wasn't until the right hand pinned the two of them to the ground that the surrounding clouds and mist slowly dissipated.
Xu Zhiqiong shivered as the cold wind passed by.
The two of them did arrive in the north, but it was much colder than the capital. Xu Zhiqiong felt that it was almost going to snow.
There is a bluestone path at your feet, more than ten feet wide.
In front of you is a bluestone wall with crenellations of varying heights.
This is the city head!
Which city is at the head of the city?
The capital of Luzhou?
Isn't there going to be a war?
Why is there no one on the top of the city?
Xu Zhiqiong lay on the city wall and glanced down along the crenellations. He was sure that this was not the capital of Luzhou.
In Daxuan, the height of the city wall was strictly restricted by etiquette.
The city wall of Wang'anjing is fifty feet high, and the walls of other cities cannot exceed this height.
But the city wall in front of Xu Zhiqiong was at least eighty feet high from visual inspection.
What kind of city wall can exceed the height of the capital city wall?
In Daxuan, there is only one possibility - the city wall at the border.
This is a border gate, but Luzhou was not originally on the border, so where did it come from?
Could it be that he ran too far? He ran out of Luzhou and ended up in Yongzhou?
This is not good. Isn’t the entire territory of Yongzhou lost?
Xu Zhiqiong looked along the city wall. The city wall was built between two mountains. There were cliffs on both sides. It was indeed a dangerous pass.
In the center of the city wall was a broken flag with a blue dragon embroidered on it.
This is the banner of Daxuan, this is the pass of Daxuan!
Xu Zhiqiong was just astonished when he suddenly heard a sound of breathing reaching his ears.
Not a group of people, but a group of people.
There is a group outside the city, and there is another group in the city.
Xu Zhiqiong lay on the top of the city and looked outside, and found someone climbing up the city wall.
His hair color is yellowish to reddish, his skin color is gray to white, he has deep eye sockets, high cheekbones, and a thick, curly beard.
Tunu people!
These Tunu people wear special coats with a layer of extremely fine velvet that allow them to climb against vertical walls.
Xu Zhiqiong drew out his saber and signaled Tao Huayuan to prepare for battle.
Tao Huayuan glared at Xu Zhiqiong. How could the two of them hold such a large pass?
Xu Zhiqiong pointed to the city, indicating that there were others in the pass.
Tao Huayuan prepared the thunder spell. When she saw a Tunu man touching it, she was about to use the lightning strike, but found that the spell could not be used.
Xu Zhiqiong, with quick eyes and quick hands, killed a Tunu man with one blow.
Another Tunu person, Tao Huayuan, wanted to use fire magic, but she still couldn't.
Instead of using onmyoji, Tao Huayuan pulled out her long sword and stabbed the Tunu man in the chest. The Tunu man's skin was not only able to climb walls, but was also very tough, and the sword could not penetrate it at all.
The Tunu pulled out his unique scimitar and slashed at Tao Huayuan. Tao Huayuan avoided the blade and pierced the Tunu's forehead with the sword.
Xu Zhiqiong had already killed more than a dozen Tunu people on his side, but there were too many Tunu people, and soon hundreds of them scaled the city wall.
If Tao Huayuan could use Yin Yang magic, it would be no problem to deal with hundreds of people.
The problem is that Tao Huayuan cannot cast spells, and Xu Zhiqiong does not have the skills to attack in a wide range.
He wanted to use the art of invisibility to take Tao Huayuan away from the city temporarily, but found that his skills could not be used.
Why can't all skills be used here?
There is no choice but to run.
Xu Zhiqiong grabbed Tao Huayuan and was about to run to the bottom of the city. Suddenly, he saw a tower emerging above the city. More than two hundred Daxuan soldiers came down from the tower. The first row of soldiers held shields, and the second row held single swords.
, holding the shield soldier's back with his hand.
The soldiers in the third row held spears in their hands and stabbed through the gaps in the shields according to the captain's orders.
The more than a hundred Tunu people who climbed on the city wall were already exhausted, and because they were out of formation, they were quickly chased and killed by Daxuan soldiers.
Xu Zhiqiong took Tao Huayuan and stood in the center of the crowd.
The captain came forward and looked at each other with Xu Zhiqiong.
The captain was wearing a tattered battle uniform, his hair and beard were stuck together, and his face was covered with a layer of mud, making it impossible to tell his appearance.
However, among the more than 200 people, this captain was the cleanest.
The captain looked at Xu Zhiqiong and asked: "Xuanren?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "What place is this?"
The captain replied: "Daxuan Yongzhou, Tielangguan!"
Big announcement!
Yongzhou!
Iron Wolf Pass!
Not all of Yongzhou was lost!
The captain shouted: "Drag the grain back, the enemy will throw stones."
Xu Zhiqiong was wondering where the food came from.
But they saw soldiers from Daxuan dragging away the bodies of Tunu people.
Aspirational, hungry and eating slave meat, laughing and talking about thirsty and drinking hairy blood!
Iron Wolf shuts down food supply for a month and this is how the soldiers survive!
