On the straight road from Hangu Pass to Qi State, hundreds of thousands of troops under the banner of "Liu" were advancing rapidly.
Occasionally, some weapons and armor were left on the ground by the soldiers, which seemed like the army was in a panic.
Liu Ji stood on an unnamed mountain peak three miles away, watching the army gradually retreating, with a look of distress on his face.
It was through frugality and frugality that we managed to build up such a large army. How can we not feel sad to be abandoned like this?
I just don’t know how many people will be loyal to me after this time.
It was heartbreaking, but Liu Ji felt much better when he thought that with the army's cover, his safety could be guaranteed.
Meng Hao on the side looked at Liu Ji's expression and couldn't help but said: "Is Pei Gong's move too hasty? I have met Lin Ze several times. He is quite good, but he is so powerful.
It would be unbelievable if seven enemies can still win."
"From Xiaosheng's point of view, there is absolutely no need for Pei Gong to escape now...just evacuate. He should observe for a while before making a decision."
Liu Ji looked at Meng Hao with a caring and idiotic look and said, "Didn't you see that Lin Ze killed two people with one sword?"
Meng Hao immediately blushed and argued: "But this doesn't mean anything. Senior Brother Dong Shu brought the holy weapon given by the sages and used the master level to drive the holy weapon. It is absolutely invincible to ordinary people."
Zhang Liang interjected: "But Lin Ze is not an ordinary person!"
Meng Hao...
"Anyway, I think the juniors may not lose," Meng Hao said through gritted teeth.
Meng Hao found it hard to accept Liu Ji's hasty escape before the outcome was decided.
As the destined emperor, shouldn't he be wise and brave, cut through thorns, turn decay into magic, and lead everyone to create the foundation of eternity?
What kind of emperor is he who runs away at every turn?
Liu Ji didn't take it seriously and said, "I didn't say that the two Confucian gentlemen would definitely lose. Isn't this nip in the bud?"
"There is a saying in the art of war that you should worry about defeat before winning. You and I can't intervene in the battle of the masters, so why bother to stay there and wait at the risk? If we lose, won't everything stop?"
Thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Liu Ji said, but Meng Hao didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
I can't say that I don't like your behavior, so I'm not allowed to do it.
But after all, the promotion of Confucianism is benevolence, not hegemony, but Meng Hao cannot refute this reason.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the sky and fell in front of everyone.
Meng Hao hurriedly stepped forward to help someone up, and asked urgently: "Brother Dong Shu, what's the situation with the siege of Lin Ze?"
When Dong Shu saw Meng Hao and the others, his somewhat sickly faces revealed a look of relief and said, "I finally found you."
Then he took a few deep breaths and said: "The siege failed. The information was wrong. Lin Ze was not at the peak of the Grand Master Realm, but at the Divine Soul Realm. He had superior combat power and was difficult to defeat. Unfortunately, Junior He Yi died in the battle."
"I am holding a holy weapon, but I can't do anything to him. For the current plan, I can only avoid its sharp edges, try my best to ensure the safety of the destined emperor, report the situation to the sage truthfully, and wait for instructions."
In order to get rid of Lin Ze smoothly and find Liu Ji and others, Dong Shu used the special escape secret technique attached to "The University", but it also exhausted the power of the master.
Meng Haoru was struck by lightning and found it difficult to accept the outcome.
Liu Ji was not surprised by this and sighed: "Now that the matter has come to this, let's take Mr. Dong Shu and escape first."
After speaking, he glanced at Xiao He and Cao Shen.
Xiao He and Cao Shen understood this and stepped forward together. Each of them grabbed Dong Shu's arm and ran into the forest without saying a word.
Liu Ji and Zhang Liang followed closely, leaving Meng Hao alone standing there in a daze.
After a while, Meng Hao realized what he was doing and chased after him.
The group of people chose a direction that was completely different from the army's retreat route, specifically escaping to the barren mountains and ridges, quickly getting away from Hangu Pass.
…
Xiang Ji, who successfully escaped, moved even more neatly. He gave the Chu army an order to escape, then grabbed Fan Zeng and disappeared into the forest.
Zhao Tuo dove into the jungle of South Vietnam and never appeared again.
The general of the army sent by him to the border of Nanyun Province saw that he did not arrive within the agreed time. He remembered his instructions and led the army to withdraw without any delay.
But Yu Ziqi, who had gathered a large army and prepared urgently for war, was confused for a long time.
…
Lin Ze, who was defeated in the great battle, did not rush to pursue him, but returned to the wall of Hangu Pass.
The sudden appearance of five unfamiliar masters made him wary.
According to the information Lin Ze learned, there should be only one last master left in Buddhism. Where the three additional masters came from is worthy of his careful consideration.
Could it be that those old immortals arrived early with their disciples?
But this is wrong. Whether it is Meng Hao or Qing Yuan, the news they revealed is that the three schools of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism exist in the realm of immortality.
There is no reason to send a few minions here to die.
The extreme lack of information left Lin Ze puzzled.
To be cautious, Lin Ze temporarily gave up the pursuit and planned to figure out the situation.
If you catch up rashly and end up stepping into a "den of thieves", then it's time to play Dafa.
At this time, a logistics manager came to Lin Ze, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, according to your instructions, all four decapitated corpses have been put away. Do you need to sew the heads on?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "Don't go to such trouble. Marinate the body with lime and don't let it rot easily."
"I obey, little one," the logistics manager responded and stepped back.
Lin Ze summoned two royal guards and ordered: "Find a way to inform the Confucian and Buddhist people and tell them that I am very angry about their attack on me. They have to send the person in charge to contact me immediately within one month after receiving the news."
Hou.”
"Remind them that if they don't send someone in charge within a month after receiving the news, I will chop their master's body into thousands of pieces and feed it to the monsters."
"Leave a human head and hang it on the city wall to inform everyone."
Lin Ze's calm words were heard by the two royal guards. Even though they knew that they were the princes in front of them, they could not help but feel a little frightened and felt a chill all over their bodies.
One of the Jinyi guards boldly said: "The status of a master-level warrior is extraordinary. The subordinates and others may not be able to contact the top leaders of Confucianism and Buddhism. They can only contact some ordinary members of the other party. The Marquis may not be able to meet the person in charge of the other party as he wishes."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "Then remind them to report it at all levels."
"If it's because they didn't receive the message, then they are unlucky."
The two imperial guards bowed, turned and left.
Lin Ze stood on the city wall and looked east. Confucianism and Buddhism had suffered a big loss this time.
Three days, at most three days, if the other party does not send someone to retaliate, it means that they are not strong enough to retaliate.
Only then can he let go of his hands and feet and sweep the world.
