The blue-robed monk nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say.
When Marquis Hanjiang died in battle with the eldest prince, the Wei family surrendered and secretly stayed loyal to the Zhao family for hundreds of years.
After the work is completed, I will plead for the Wei family in front of His Majesty.
When the time comes, the title of Duke of the Wei family will be indispensable.
However, you have to choose reliable tribesmen.
If this battle is successful, there will be no major wars in Hanjiang County.
If this battle is defeated and Wei takes Hanjiang Pass, Hanjiang County may never have peace in the future."
The Zhao family did not dare to completely trust the Wei family. After all, five hundred years had passed and the Wei family had changed several heads.
The Can Yang Palace has always treated the Wei family well, and the Wei family has been pretending to be real, so it is not impossible for the Wei family to really seek refuge in the Can Yang Palace.
He said this to let Wei Xuanhu think about it.
If this fails, Hanjiang County will become a battlefield between Zhao and Wei in the future, and the Wei family will not have a good life.
Cooperation cannot only rely on loyalty and friendship, but also must have common interests and common enemies.
Wei Xuanhu looked solemn: "Senior, don't worry, this junior will definitely choose reliable clan members to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Then he took out two sets of Wei family standard black armor: "Three days later, the two seniors will wear these armors and follow me to Hanjiang Pass."
This armor is very long and can directly cover the whole body. There is also a visor on the helmet.
Wearing this outfit, you can't tell who it is with the naked eye.
The blue-robed monk took back his armor and returned to the small secret realm.
Three days later, the two of them wore armor, suppressed their cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building, and came to the stone chamber.
Wei Xuanhu was already waiting for them in the stone room. When he saw the two coming out, he cupped his hands and said, "Seniors, please follow me."
Two Zhao family golden elixirs followed Wei Xuanhu to the top of the mountain.
At this time, there were already several foundation-building and more than twenty Qi-training monks waiting here. They were all wearing a suit of armor.
It's just that the armor patterns of foundation building and Qi training monks are different, and the grades are also different.
Wei Xuanhu took out a flying boat and enlarged it to more than ten feet long.
Everyone boarded the flying boat and flew to Hanjiang Pass in the northwest direction.
After arriving at Hanjiang Pass, the flying boat landed in front of the east gate of Hanjiang Pass, and everyone got off the flying boat.
Wei Xuanhu took off his visor, took out a token, and shouted at the city gate: "Wei Xuanhu of the Wei family is here to change the defense."
A monk from the Cangyang Palace Zifu on the city tower looked up and said with a smile: "It's Fellow Daoist Wei. I'll open the door right now."
Then, the east door opened and Wei Xuanhu walked in.
The monk from Zi Mansion came to say hello, and Wei Xuanhu exchanged pleasantries with him before saying goodbye and heading to the Guarded Mansion.
When the monks stationed at Hanjiang Pass change defenses, they need to report to the Jindan monks guarding this place.
Wei Xuanhu asked other tribesmen to take over the west city wall, while he took two golden elixirs from the Zhao family to the guarding envoy's mansion.
The person stationed here is the Supreme Elder of Cangyang Palace, Yuyang Zhenren, who is also a late-stage Jindan cultivator.
He has been guarding Hanjiang Pass since the Cangyang Palace captured Hanjiang Pass more than five hundred years ago.
Wei Xuanhu took the two of them into the governor's mansion, and Master Yuyang received them in the meeting hall.
He looked at the two Zhao family golden elixirs and said with a smile: "Why did Xuanhu bring two junior foundation builders here?"
The two Zhao family's golden elixirs took action at the same time, offering two long swords, one blue and one silver.
There was a faint flash of lightning on the blue sword, and the silver sword was menacing.
When the monk holding the blue sword took action, he did not forget to throw Wei Xuanhu out.
If the monks in the late stage of Jindan fight against each other, the slightest repercussions can kill the Zifu monks.
Master Yuyang was unprepared and was attacked by two monks who were stronger than him.
It was impossible to dodge, so he could only use his magic weapon to withstand the attacks of the two men.
Only two sounds of gold and iron clashing were heard, and Master Yuyang was sent flying, crashing through several layers of walls of the governor's mansion, and finally hit the city wall before he came to a stop.
The two golden elixirs from the Zhao family quickly followed and continued the attack.
Master Yuyang quickly begged for mercy: "Two fellow Taoists, please stop. When Canyang Palace captured Hanjiang Pass, the Zhao family had already evacuated.
I have been guarding this place since then, and my hands are not stained with the blood of the Zhao family.
Emperor Zhao has an edict that as long as the monks from the three sects are willing to surrender, they will be able to make meritorious deeds.
The Cangyang Palace is already in dire straits, and some Jindan monks have surrendered to Emperor Zhao before.
I am also willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and make meritorious deeds."
The two Zhao family golden elixirs looked at each other and nodded.
The blue-robed monk took out a water-blue bead with a diameter of more than three inches and said with a smile: "Hanjiang is at stake, so we have to be careful.
This is a special Guishui thunder bead. As long as I think about it, it will explode.
As long as you swallow him, I will believe you for the time being.
When my Zhao family's army breaks through the mountain gate of Canyang Palace and comes to take over Hanjiang Pass, I will help you take it out.
If you try to take it out yourself, the thunder beads will also explode."
Master Yuyang struggled for a while and then swallowed the thunder bead into his belly.
The blue-robed monk smiled and said, "Please order those Cangyang Palace monks to stop."
As soon as the fighting started on their side, the Wei family began to seize control of the west city wall.
At Hanjiang Pass, there are monks from Setting Sun Palace and many monks from surrounding families.
Now that the Wei family and Canyang Palace are at war, the monks from each family don't know who to help.
Master Yuyang said loudly: "The disciples of Cangyang Palace obey the order and give up resistance.
The Netherworld Sect has surrendered to Emperor Zhao, and there are not many people left in the Setting Sun Palace. If you continue to resist, it will be a dead end.
I have decided to abandon darkness and surrender to Emperor Zhao.
The owner of the Cangyang Palace wanted to surrender to the Wei State and lured Wei monks into the pass.
We all have a blood feud with the Wei monks. If we let them in, will we get any good results?
If Emperor Zhao comes again, the entire Hanjiang County will turn into a battlefield.
At that time, each family will not even be able to preserve their ancestral heritage."
Upon hearing this, most of the disciples of Setting Sun Palace gave up their resistance.
A few disciples of Cangyang Palace refused to surrender and were quickly beheaded by the Wei family monks and other family monks under siege.
Master Yuyang shouted: "Clean up the Guan City and prepare to resist Wei's attack."
The Wei State had a large camp three hundred miles west of Hanjiang Pass.
There was such a big movement in Hanjiang Pass, it was impossible for them not to notice it.
It won't be long before they come to take advantage.
Everyone immediately took action to pack up the west city wall and prepare to defend against the enemy.
The blue-robed monk took out the cracked white jade dragon token and crushed it into pieces.
Over in Wanchuanfang City, the white jade token placed in front of Emperor Zhao also turned into pieces.
Emperor Zhao's face showed joy: "Great, the backup plan left by elder brother has worked.
Now that Hanjiang Pass is in the hands of my Zhao family, even if Canyang Palace wants to collude with Zhao State, it will be powerless.
Everyone, please prepare, we are also going to attack Wanling Sect."
Everyone said yes and went down to prepare for the expedition.
Emperor Zhao took out a jade talisman and sent a message.
In the Netherworld Sect's meeting hall, Zhao Jingguo took out the jade talisman and said with a smile: "I haven't waited in vain these days. Your Majesty sent a message that Hanjiang Pass has been captured.
We no longer have to worry about Wei's problems, and we can attack Can Yang Palace with confidence.
In addition, His Majesty ordered all Zhao family members to return to Wanchuanfang City.
Your Majesty wants to personally march against the Wanling Sect.
Appoint the Prince of Qingli County as the Shannan Recruitment Envoy, lead the monks from Linhai Prefecture, and the monks from the Nether Sect and Can Yang Palace to attack the mountain gate of Can Yang Palace."
Wang Daoyuan cupped his hands toward the southeast and said, "I sincerely comply with your Majesty's will."
Zhao Jingguo handed Wang Daoyuan the tokens used by the Nether Sect to control various formations and the keys to the treasury.
Afterwards, he left the Netherworld Sect with several Zhao family Jindan monks and headed southeast.
Wang Daoyuan ordered: "Gu Chengfeng, recruit the two Jindan monks stationed in Jinyan City, and leave Jinyan City and Guiyuan Mountain to the Zifu monks to garrison them.
Zhong Zhenyang, you have gathered the monks from the Netherworld Sect who can participate in the battle and are ready to go at any time.
In addition, all the third-level and lower elixirs, spiritual talismans, magic weapons and other resources existing in the Netherworld Sect's treasure house were taken out to supply the needs of the army."
The two said yes, and the other monks also went down to do their work.
