Seven days later, in the early morning, I stood on a hillside and said to Qin Yi and the third commander: "This is not far from the station of Blue Moon Ji, and it is best for our army not to appear in front of everyone at present, so as not to leak the news." You wait here for two days, I'll go to Lan Yueji to understand the current situation, and then I'll come back to you immediately. ”

After the three coaches should claim to have retreated, I briefly explained to Qin Yi and asked him to help me take care of the Benlei Army, and then set off in the direction of Lan Yueji's station.

Late that night, I arrived at Blue Moon Hime's station. Originally, I wanted not to alarm anyone to sneak into the area to find Blue Moon Ji. But when I think about it, the situation is so tense at the moment, everyone is nervous, and it will be embarrassing if they sneak in and not be discovered, but it will be self-defeating.

So, I came to the gate of the station and said in a loud voice: "Kunlun sent You Yuzhen to ask to see the Lan Patriarch. ”

The soldier on duty asked vigilantly, "I don't know what credentials the chief has?"

'Look, it's a voucher again, if I had a token from our Kunlun faction, how could I be so troublesome every time?!' I said to the soldiers on duty, "If you don't know me, then you can help me call the Lan Patriarch out." If it's inconvenient for Patriarch Lan now, you can call out my companions. ”

At this time, Hua Ruoqiu, who was still transformed into Wu Yan, shouted in the station: "Hide for me! My master is back, you dare to stop him!?"

The soldiers on duty saw that it was Hua Ruoqiu who gave way one after another, and quickly opened the gate of the station. In the eyes of all the soldiers, this uncle has been well-known in the whole army for a while now, and whoever dares to provoke him will be beaten half by a punch. The most important thing is that no matter how much trouble this master makes in the station, the patriarch will let him go, and he seems to have always been afraid of him.

Hua Ruoqiu happily ran up to me and said, "Master, you're back! I can feel your breath from afar! Is your affairs going well? The Sacred Heart Sect must have suffered a lot this time, right?"

I smiled and said, "Don't mention it, this time your master and I failed, and we suffered a big loss." ”

"Oh?!No way!Master, you never fail, you must lie to me, right?" Hua Ruoqiu asked.

I smiled and said, "Let's go, go in and talk slowly." How is Sister Rui'er's injuries?"

Hua Ruoqiu said happily: "Madame is fine." Not only has her injuries healed now, but she may be able to break through again. ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Rui'er is also a blessing in disguise this time." Then you go and help me call Sister Rui'er and Wu Yan to the Lan Patriarch's military tent, and I'll go to the Lan Patriarch now. ”

After a while, everyone gathered in the military tent of Blue Moon Ji, and Blue Moon Ji opened her mouth and asked, "Daoist Chief, I have received a message from your sect to all parties a month ago, saying that you have found out about the conspiracy of the Sacred Heart Sect to summon the Demon God, what is going on?"

I smiled wryly, "Heh, don't mention it." This incident is not so much that I found out, but that I was deceived by the Sacred Heart. "Then, I told everyone all about what had happened since I left Jinling Pass that day.

I then asked, "It's been a month since the Demon God came into the world, is there any large-scale movement on the Sacred Heart Sect's side, is there a Demon God on the battlefield?"

Lan Yueji said: "Since the parties received the news from you, the Dao Leader, the communication between the parties has been very frequent in the past month, but at present, there are no demon gods in various places, but the strength of the Sacred Heart Sect on the battlefields everywhere has suddenly increased in large numbers. ”

"Is this the case in all the battlefields?How many troops have increased in Jinling Pass so far?" I asked.

Lan Yueji said with some concern: "According to the news communicated by all parties, it is true that there has been a large-scale increase in the Sacred Heart Sect on every battlefield. At present, the remaining 37 armies of the Wa Dai tribe have begun to resist more and more difficult in the face of the 650,000 Sacred Heart Sect army after the increase in troops, and the friendly forces in the Chuwu border theater have even turned from offensive to defensive. At present, Jinling Pass is conservatively estimated that they have increased their troops to 700,000. ”

"700,000?! The army they attacked Jinling Pass before was only about 400,000, plus we killed more than 100,000 last time, they should only have less than 300,000 left. Doesn't that mean they've more than doubled their forces here?" I said in surprise.

"If the Sacred Heart Sect has increased its troops in all the major battlefields, then the total number of troops invested by the Sacred Heart Sect this time will be at least two or three million. Where did so many Sacred Heart Sect soldiers come from? Ordinary soldiers who have no cultivation at all, the Sacred Heart Sect will not be used at all. One possibility is that the Sacred Heart Cult has been using special methods to sacrifice ordinary people and secretly create soldiers to accumulate strength. ’

'Another is that the demon god who has been incarnated can create a large number of soldiers in a short period of time. If it's the first one, it's better, but if it's the second one, it's a bit of a hassle. However, it is not clear what the specific situation within the Sacred Heart Sect is now, and perhaps we can only wait for Xi Xijing to get some key news. ’

Lan Yueji nodded and said: "That's true, we guess that maybe the Sacred Heart Sect is preparing to take Jinling Pass in one fell swoop by their holy daughter, take advantage of the situation to destroy Xiang Zhaoheng's forces, and completely destroy the hope of the people of Chu State, so as to start the first battle after the gods and demons descended into the world." ”

I said: "Now that the nominal emperor of Chu has been sacrificed by the blood of the Sacred Heart Sect, and a large area has completely become the territory of the Sacred Heart Sect, there is no need for any reason for all forces to send large armies into the Chu State now. Then, our Prince Xiang is naturally not as valued by all parties as before, and it is normal for the Sacred Heart Sect to choose Jinling Pass, the weakest place, to start the first battle after the Demon God came into the world. ”

Lan Yueji sighed and said, "Yes. . My previous guess was the same as what the tour chief said. Moreover, judging from the current situation, all sides are under great pressure, and it is indeed impossible to come to support Jinling Pass again. ”。

I chuckled and said, "It seems that history is always so strikingly similar." Back then, the Sacred Heart Sect set up such a big game, just to let Qu Zhaolin sacrifice to Dengzhou City with blood, intending to announce the rise of their Sacred Heart Sect in Zhongzhou, but I stopped it. It's been a few years, and it looks like it's going to happen again. ”

When Lan Yueji heard my words, she seemed to have renewed hope in her eyes and asked, "Then I wonder if you have any good strategy to retreat from the enemy this time?"
