When Xue Qingfu saw Qiu Shuijing, his heart sank slightly. He looked around and said with a smile: "We all serve the emperor, so why can't we take a step back? If I take a step back, can Zuo Pushe also take a step back?"
Zuo Songyan said hoarsely: "Why?"
"With the fact that I now have control over the Shuofang City Defense Force, with the prestige of my Saint Xue, and with the raising of my arms, the 300,000 border troops in Shuobei will gather under my tent!"
Xue Qingfu solemnly said: "I have civil servants and generals under me, city defenses and border troops. When Huntuo Khan comes from outside the fort, he must pass through Tianshiyuan. With me, I can control the old no man's land and intercept Huntuo Khan.
Make it impossible for him to step into Shuofang! Can this old man do this?"
Zuo Songyan was silent for a moment and said: "You mean, if I take a step back, you can command all the armies in Shuobei and stop Huntuo Khan?"
Xue Qingfu nodded and said with a smile: "Sage Shuofang can do what old Laobaozi from Shuobei can't do."
Zuo Songyan laughed heartily, swept away his dejection, bowed his head to the ground, and said: "If the saint can save the people of Shuobei from the fire and water, I will take a step back and send the treasure to my house!"
Xue Qingfu hurriedly stepped forward, supported him, and said with a smile: "I can wait for two more days to see me lead the army to quell the Shuobei rebellion and repel Huntuo Khan."
Qiu Shuijing jumped down from the Phoenix Palace and frowned slightly when he saw this.
Xue Qingfu looked at Qiu Shuijing and said with a smile: "Shui Jing got what he wanted, and I got what I wanted. After you and I return to Dongdu, we will compete again."
Qiu Shuijing leaned forward and said, "The disciples don't understand what the teacher is doing."
Xue Qingfu said, "What don't you understand?"
"Teacher has quelled the chaos of the seven great families and saved Shuofang from danger. He has gained enough fame and prestige. If the teacher returns to the Eastern Capital to be canonized, and with the help of the civil and military forces of the DPRK and China, the disciple will also report to His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely grant the title of saint."
The teacher is a saint. Why does the teacher still need this military achievement that shocked Yuanshuo?"
Qiu Shuijing said: "Please ask the teacher to help me clear up my doubts."
Xue Qingfu said with a smile: "With my current reputation and a large army, wouldn't it be easy to unify all the border troops in Shuobei?"
Qiu Shuijing frowned.
At this time, a line of troops and horses from outside Shuofang City rushed to Shuofang overnight. It turned out to be a large army from Shuobei, running overnight to prepare to go to the border for support.
Qiu Shuijing looked from a distance and saw several teams of Shuofang City's city defense troops rushing there to join the border troops from each city. The leaders were none other than Zhou Bo, Niu Biao and other residents of the sage town.
He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, he looked back and said, "Teacher's calculations are very accurate."
Xue Qingfu said with a smile: "If you kick me out of Dongdu, I will have to prepare well before I can return to Dongdu. After I return to Dongdu, no one can kick me out again."
Su Yun looked at the armies and horses of the Seventeen Prefectures in the north of Shuo, and felt a chill in his heart: "Among the armies and horses of the Seventeen Prefectures, in addition to people from various princes such as Marquis Shuo, there are also people from the seven great families, but no one expected that
, there are people from Saint Xue inside!"
The conversation between Xue Qingfu and Qiu Shuijing just now made him figure this out.
After Xue Shengren was kicked out of the Eastern Capital, he prepared for many years and placed many people in the seventeen prefectures of Shuobei to wait for the opportunity.
The seven great aristocratic families took action, and the time came. While the seven great aristocratic families were fighting with Shuo Fanghou and other princes, Xue Shengren's forces took advantage of the situation when both of them were hurt to seize power and control the armies of the seventeen states in one fell swoop!
It can be said that now Shuofang and even Shuobei have fallen into the hands of Saint Xue Xue Qingfu!
Now, when he raises his arms and shouts, the people in Shuofang and even Shuobei regard him as the saint, saint king and saint Buddha who protects the seventeen states!
If he leads his troops to repel Huntuo Khan's army and drives Huntuo Khan back outside the Great Wall, then his prestige will not only spread in Shuobei.
The entire Yuanshuo fifty-six states and 360 counties will regard him as a saint, a holy king, and a holy Buddha!
"At that time, when he returned to the Eastern Capital, Di Ping had no choice but to make him a saint without the need for civil and military officials to come forward. This kind of reputation has completely overshadowed the glory of the great emperor."
Su Yun's eyes flashed, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he thought to himself: "What do I want with this? I only went to the city to study."
Xue Qingfu walked up to him and said with a smile: "Su Shizi turned over the table, smashed the chessboard, and single-handedly controlled the chess game in Shuofang and even Shuobei. I was amazed."
Zuo Songyan and Qiu Shuijing were surprised and looked at Su Yun one after another.
Su Yun bowed and said: "Although I have another round, the saint is still superior. Yun, I am convinced of the defeat."
"You didn't lose."
Xue Qingfu laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "Because you and I are not opponents. Since there is no game, how can we talk about winning or losing? Besides..."
He walked past Su Yun, looked at the Tongtian Pavilion weirdos behind Su Yun, and said with a smile: "You have grown up. Master Tongtian Pavilion, your ambition is to reach the sky. There will be a place for you in the future world."
Su Yun turned around and looked at him in surprise. The words "You have grown up" made him confused.
This sentence is not what Saint Xue should say.
Xue Qingfu came to the old demon king's cage and said with a smile: "Can the Pavilion Master let him go?"
The mute senior brother looked at Su Yun, and Su Yun said: "Sage, I want to know the life and death of Marquis Shuofang, the Ye family and others."
Xue Qingfu said: "They are the ones who rule Shuofang. Without them, who will rule Shuofang?"
Su Yun understood that it was impossible for Xue Qingfu to stay in Shuofang. He had to leave his confidants to run Shuofang on his behalf, and conquering Shuofang Hou, Ye Family and other aristocratic families was the easiest way!
Young Master Ye Luo, Li Muge and others breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, the lives of Marquis Shuo Fang and others were saved.
Su Yun nodded lightly, and the mute elder brother took the drawings away. The spirit of the old demon king was able to return to his physical body, and he couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude.
Xue Qingfu walked out to meet the border troops who were entering the city. They heard waves of shouts for saints coming towards them, which shook the sky!
Tens of thousands of troops marched while shouting for Saint Xue. The momentum was so strong that it even made Su Yun and others look pale, as if a wall towering over the sky was pushing towards them!
Xue Qingfu stood in the air, opened his arms, and welcomed the calls from all the military commanders.
Qiu Shuijing's face turned pale and he murmured: "His power has become..."
"So what?"
Zuo Songyan came to his side and said: "Shui Jing, I know what you are thinking. But let me ask you, how does the emperor of Dongdu compare with Xue Shengren?"
Qiu Shuijing shook his head and said, "Not as good as him."
"How does the emperor compare to him in terms of public opinion?"
"Not as good as him."
"Where is your cultivation?"
Qiu Shuijing hesitated and said, "This is beyond what I can know."
Zuo Songyan took out a piece of clothing from his spiritual world, replaced the tattered robe on his body, took out another robe and put it on his body, and said with a smile: "Then what are you worried about? Even if the sky changes in Dongdu, it won't matter.
It’s not a good thing. Even if it’s a different emperor, it’s still better than Di Ping, who only wants to live forever.”
His words were treasonous and made Qiu Shuijing frown slightly.
Su Yun stepped forward and said: "Teacher..."
Qiu Shuijing's face changed slightly, and he quickly stepped aside and returned the greeting: "The master of the pavilion is not my disciple, Shui Jing does not dare to take this position."
Su Yun was stunned, then looked back at everyone in Tongten Pavilion, and then at Zuo Songyan. Zuo Songyan rubbed his nose and said angrily: "What do you want me to do? I wanted to join Tongten Pavilion when I was overseas, but you didn't accept it." , which makes me lose face. Fortunately, I am not bad at all and I am doing well..."
Qiu Shuijing said seriously: "I have been taken care of by Tongten Pavilion many times overseas. I am very grateful."
Su Yun was a little confused and didn't know what to say.
Qiu Shuijing looked into his eyes, sighed secretly, and said: "If the Pavilion Master has any questions, Shui Jing can answer it for the Pavilion Master."
Su Yun cheered up and said: "I just listened to Mr. Pu Shehe talking about Emperor Ping's wish for immortality, and then I remembered my guess. I guessed that the purpose of Saint Xue's plan was not just to become a saint, but also to Another goal is to obtain the Eight-sided Heavenly Tower. One of the Eight-sided Heavenly Tower fell into the hands of Zuo Pushe."
Zuo Songyan coughed repeatedly and tried to get over it.
Qiu Shuijing said: "I have known about this for a long time. Just now, Saint Xue asked him to step back, which meant this treasure. As long as he offers this treasure, Saint Xue will lead his army to repel Huntuo Khan. But what about this guy? I never expected that even if he didn't offer this treasure, Saint Xue would lead his troops to repel Hunduo. It can be said that he gave away one side of Chaotian Tower in vain."
Zuo Songyan's face turned red, and he suddenly reached out and pulled off the clothes given to Qiu Shuijing.
Qiu Shuijing sneered and said, "You get angry whenever I talk about you. You have the same temper as when you were a child! A gentleman is magnanimous. Do I need a piece of clothing from you?"
Su Yun turned his head and looked behind Qiu Shuijing. He saw that the gentleman's clothes in front were neatly dressed, while the clothes in the back were completely burned, revealing his fair back skin, buttocks, and two long legs. .
"No wonder Zuo Pushe gave away a piece of clothing." Su Yun suddenly realized.
Zuo Songyan threw the clothes to Qiu Shuijing again and said angrily: "I won't give it to him. It's hard to be kind now! If he can't get Chaotian Que from me, he will definitely take action. At that time, can we resist him? Shi Jinxiu All the pictures were smashed by him!"
Qiu Shuijing fell silent.
Zuo Songyan sneered and said: "If Di Ping was not a foolish emperor, he would not order you to return to the Eastern Capital at this juncture. If you don't care about people's livelihood or longevity, what would happen to another emperor?"
Su Yun couldn't help but said: "Sage Xue, I'm afraid he's also asking for immortality. I'm afraid the Chaotian Tower in his hand has already gathered all eight sides."
"Not really."
Qiu Shuijing said calmly: "He will never be able to gather all the eight faces facing the sky."
Su Yun was startled. Qiu Shuijing walked out of the Ten Brocades and looked down. He saw all the military commanders in Shuobei marching towards Tianshiyuan.
"He quelled the turmoil outside the Great Wall, and now that he is in the Eastern Capital, he is gaining momentum, and even has the potential to overwhelm the dynasty..."
Qiu Shuijing exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling worried.
The border troops moved forward and headed straight for Tianshiyuan. Su Yun did not have time to rest and continued running, restoring the high-rise buildings in Shuofang that had been sealed by him to their original state, and restoring the cloud bridges in the sky.
The war in Shuofang City has subsided, and only the remnants of the seven great families have escaped from Shuofang. However, the city defense army has come to hunt them down. These remnants have become insignificant and it is difficult to pose a threat to Shuofang.
Wenchang Academy also returned to normal, and the scholars took to the streets to help the people after the disaster. However, Zuo Songyan counted the manpower and found that Taoist Xianyun and Mr. Lingyue were missing.
Su Yun returned to Shanshui Residence to look for some little foxes. Qingqiuyue, Hu Buping and Li Xiaofan were all in Shanshui Residence, but Hua Hu was not there.
He couldn't help frowning and asked Zuo Songyan to look around, but after searching all over Wenchang Academy, there was no trace of Huahu.
Zuo Songyan comforted him: "These days, Huahu Shizi is always hanging out with Mr. Lingyue. With Mr. Lingyue here, there should be no serious problems."
Su Yun was still a little uneasy and thought to himself, "I hope nothing will happen to my second brother and Mr. Lingyue."
Shuofang border, Tianyun Ridge.
Mr. Lingyue and a young man with fine features stood on the top of Tianyun Ridge, looking at the fleeing Wen family spiritual men. Mr. Lingyue said: "The one who killed my senior brother Ye Hu was Wen Lifang, the servant of the Wen family.
Shoot Huahu, do you want to take action?"
Huahu is much taller than before, taller and more handsome, and his clothes are more elegant. However, his ears are still fox ears, branching out from the hair, with yellow and red fur.
"Teacher, who is Mr. Yehu?" Huahu asked as he looked at the Wen family spiritual master who was getting closer and closer.
Mr. Lingyue said: "The wild fox is my senior brother. After his death, his spirit attached to the fox and he forgot who he was in the previous life."
"But why is there no him in the ghost market?" Huahu asked puzzledly.
"Without his spirit?"
Mr. Lingyue was startled and frowned: "Are you sure there is no spirit of Brother Yehu in the ghost market?"
