Xiao Ding left the camp with the civet cat, planning to go to Zhongzhou City to help the civet buy some clothes and jewelry and other daily necessities.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the official road outside the city not far from Zhongzhou City, he saw a carriage speeding over, rolling up dust, and there seemed to be someone chasing after him.

Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, who could this be?

Look at the carriage carefully, although it can't be compared with Song Yinzi's carriage, it is also much more luxurious than ordinary carriages.

The driver was a young man dressed as a subordinate, and the door was closed, so that the person sitting in the car could not be seen.

The people who were chasing closely behind the carriage were also unable to see their faces clearly because of the dust.

Xiao Ding and the civet cat hurriedly turned their horses to stop on the side of the road, intending to let the carriage and the pursuers pass.

Who would have thought, the carriage came to the front and back of the two, suddenly stopped, poked a head out of the window of the carriage, and shouted to Xiao Ding: "General Tian, save me!" ”

When Xiao Ding looked at the man, he recognized that it was Han Jun, the former soldier of the military department, who was sitting in the car. He heard the two brothers Han Jun and Han Qi say that Han Jun had been dismissed from his post and was at home, why was there still someone chasing him?

didn't have time to ask more, Xiao Ding quickly shouted towards Han Jun: "You guys go to the barracks to avoid it first, and I'll stop the people behind!" ”

As soon as Han Jun's carriage left, the two horses chasing behind had already come to the front, and Xiao Ding set the horse to stand in the middle of the road and stopped the people behind.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Xiao Ding saw the appearance of the five or six horsemen behind him clearly. The man at the head was a short and fat man, and as he sat on his horse, he felt that his horse's back was bent by his weight. He wore no hat on his head, was half-bald on the top of his head, his forehead and the top of his head were shiny, and half a circle of thinning hair grew on the sides and back of his head. His eyebrows were long, drooping from the sides of his face, matching the beard around his mouth.

Although his beard has three locks, it is also sparse. He has slightly thick lips and a large nose, and he looks to be about forty or fifty years old. But the skin on his face is already wrinkled everywhere.

Behind the leader, there were four or five horses, and the people sitting on them were all dressed in official clothes, and if anyone who was familiar with the inside of the imperial court saw them, they would definitely recognize that they were all dressed in the clothes of the Ouchi guards. But Xiao Ding couldn't recognize it, after all, he hadn't seen the formal clothes of the Ouchi guards before, but he could tell that these people must be official personnel.

When Humpty Dumpty saw that Ding and the civet were riding on horseback blocking their way, he reined in his horse, pointed at Ding with the whip in his hand, and shouted, "Who are you?" How dare you stop me and others from going? ”

Xiao Ding smiled calmly and said, "My name is Tian Xiaoding, who are you?" ”

"So you're the deputy marshal surnamed Tian? I am the head of the Imperial Spirit Sect, and the Fengling Sanren are also! I want to ask you something, have you ever seen my junior brother Xiaoxiang Sanren? Where the hell is he now? The short and fat man who claimed to be the head of the Imperial Spirit Sect, Fengling Sanren, asked.

When Xiao Ding heard this, he said in his heart, it turned out that he didn't know about the death of Xiaoxiang Sanren at his hands. When he first went to attack Jiangzhou, Xiaoxiang Sanren had designed to lure him to a remote mountain village, wanting to kill himself with a group of snakes, but he didn't expect that he was an invulnerable body, and he also knew how to use vajra, and the snakes he drove had no effect on himself, and finally he was poisoned by the snakes he drove away.

It's been a long time since this incident, but I didn't expect this head to know that his junior brother was dead! In fact, it is no wonder that at that time, Xiaoxiang Sanren went alone to design the booby trap of Xiao Ding, and after his death, if no one went to that village to inquire, the news might not have been able to spread.

And Fengling Sanren took refuge in the queen of Jiaozhou, and he has always been by the side of the king of Jiaozhou, he only knew that his junior brother went to assassinate the deputy marshal surnamed Tian of the other party, and then there was no news, and he guessed in his heart that the junior brother may have encountered an accident, but he has never had time to investigate this matter in detail.

Xiao Ding saw that Fengling Sanren asked about this, and he didn't want to hide it, so he said: "I did see that thin and tall Xiaoxiang Sanren, if you want to ask me where that Xiaoxiang Sanren is now, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you, he has now become the belly of the snakes he raises." ”

"You talk nonsense! How could his serpent eat him? Fengling Sanren shouted in disbelief.

In fact, the snakes driven away by the Xiaoxiang people were not raised by him, but the snakes between the mountains and fields that he summoned with the sound of the flute.

"What did I lie to you? He was indeed eaten by the snakes he drove away. Xiao Ding said exactly.

"Then it must have fallen for your tricks, I want to avenge my junior brother, come quickly!" Xiaoxiang Sanren said and took out a Tao Xun from his arms, and then put it to his mouth and blew it.

For a while, Xun whimpered, and a simple, deep, low, vicissitudes, desolate and mournful voice came into everyone's ears, which made people immediately have a sense of solemnity and sadness.

Just when everyone was indulging in the sad and quiet sound of Xun, suddenly from a white pocket on the waist of Fengling Sanren, two colorful tigers suddenly burst out, and pounced directly on Xiao Ding and the civet cat.

"Spirit Bag!" Xiao Ding blurted out. He had seen a description of the Imperial Spirit Bag on the Encyclopedia of Cultivation in his mind, which was also a magic weapon in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, which was similar to the nature of his jade pendant space, but the time in the jade pendant space was static, but the time in the Imperial Spirit Bag was not. The spirit bag is also a kind of space magic weapon, which is used to specifically raise spirit pets and spirit animals, and it also needs to use divine consciousness to communicate with it, and you can put your own pets or animals in it without dying. But this spirit bag is limited to animals, insects, and the like inside. Plants and other items cannot be placed.

The two colorful tigers that sprang out of this spirit bag were obviously the animals that this Fengling Sanren usually raised. Although they have not yet opened their spiritual intelligence, they are not considered spirit beasts, but they are also fierce and abnormal, and under the sound of the Fengling scattered people, they fiercely attacked Xiao Ding and the spirit cat.

Xiao Ding and the horses of the civet cat, when they saw the two fierce tigers at first glance, were directly frightened and trembled on their legs, and they were afraid to move forward.

Xiao Ding and the civet cat had no choice but to jump off their horses and take out their blades to kill the tiger.

The horses ridden by Fengling Sanren and the Ouchi guards were also trembling with fright when they saw the tiger, and they had to jump off their horses and hold the reins by hand, for fear that the horses would fall into the wilderness and flee.

Although the two tigers are fierce, they are still mortal after all, and they will only attack with their own strength and sharp teeth and claws.

It didn't take a few strokes for the civet cat to cut off the two front paws of a tiger in one day. Then he stabbed the tiger in the chest.

Xiao Ding didn't have much effort here, and a mace smashed on the ribs of the tiger who was fighting with him, directly smashing the tiger and flying out, suffering internal injuries, and no longer able to get up.

Fengling Sanren saw that the two fierce tigers had no choice but to get Xiao Ding and the two, and then he changed his tune, and more than twenty evil wolves sprang out of his spirit bag again, and surrounded Xiao Ding and the civet cat one after another.

The wolf is an animal, flexible and cunning, good at group attack, each attacking and defending, and even more difficult to deal with than two tigers.

They don't just rush up like a tiger, but they circle around you, looking for your weaknesses. If you hit it, it will jump behind it quickly. While you're attacking, wolves will attack from behind, and you can't defend against it.

Fighting these wolves, brute force alone can't hit them, they have the patience to accompany you until you are exhausted.

Xiao Ding and the civet cat, fighting and fighting, already felt that something was wrong. If you continue like this, your strength will be exhausted sooner or later. Won't the wolves have a chance to take advantage of it?

But the weapons of the two of them could not touch the wolves in the slightest. They are agile, and when they see you coming, they will run away when they are still far away, and they will not hesitate at all.

Xiao Ding observed the tactics of the wolves for a while, and then looked at the Fengling Sanren who had been blowing, and said in his heart that their brothers were really a couple! His younger brother Xiaoxiang Sanren is good at playing the flute, he is tall and thin, but this Fengling Sanren is short and fat, good at playing Xun, although these two people have unique appearances, they are versatile, know how to play musical instruments, and will use music to drive away animals, which is really amazing.

In fact, Xiao Ding didn't know that using music to drive away animals was also the unique skill of the Imperial Spirit Sect. If you can subdue a spirit beast that has already opened its spiritual intelligence, it is sometimes even a hundred times more powerful than a human.

Back then, the founding patriarch of the Imperial Spirit Sect took the spirit beasts that had opened their spiritual wisdom and ascended together. The treasure of Fengling Sanren, the Imperial Spirit Bag, is the treasure left by the patriarch of the Kai School to his disciples.

To be able to use this spirit bag, it must also be necessary to cultivate divine sense, so Xiao Ding guessed that the cultivation of this Fengling Sanren is at least above the third level of Qi cultivation, and it will only be higher than himself, not lower than himself.

So, Xiao Ding wanted to use the method of "catching the thief and capturing the king first" like he did last time to clean up the Xiaoxiang Sanren, which seemed to be a little unworkable. After all, he shouldn't be able to defeat this Fengling Sanren in a short period of time, plus there are more than 20 vicious wolves besieging him, and if he goes to raid Fengling Sanren now, he will put himself in a crisis.

Although he had already used the Vajra technique at this time and was not afraid of wolf bites, he didn't know if the Fengling Sanren would have the means to break his own Vajra technique like Shangguan Batian.

You must know that Shangguan Batian is because his cultivation is higher than himself, he can already control the knife in the air, and the Tianluo knife is extremely sharp and not extraordinary, so he has fallen into the Tao.

However, now that he and the civet are all surrounded by that group of wolves, if he doesn't solve this group of wolves, he and the civet will be hurt sooner or later.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the pistol in the civet cat's arms. So, he used his spiritual power and used the sound transmission technique to say to the civet, "I'll help you get rid of the wolves, and you take the opportunity to kill that Humpty Dumpty with a pistol." ”

The civet cat heard Xiao Ding's voice in her ears and nodded to Xiao Ding, indicating that she had heard. The two have the same heart, and they have had many tacit cooperation before the crossing.

So, Xiao Ding suddenly took out an iron nail from the space, released his divine sense to accurately locate it, and then transported his spiritual power and shot towards those wolves.

In the case of Xiao Ding's precise positioning, none of the wolves were spared, and all of them were hit, and some were even shot with several iron nails.

Although the iron nail is small, if it is shot in a fatal place, it can kill a wolf, such as a shot in the eye or a shot in the skull. Most of them were killed on the spot, and the others who were not shot jumped to the side, wailing miserably.

At the moment when the wolves were nailed, the civet cat suddenly took out her pistol from her arms and shot it at the head of Fengling Sanren.

Hearing a loud "bang", Fengling Sanren's head immediately bloomed.

Ding then threw another iron nail and shot the remaining wailing wolves. The civet cat aimed its guns at the Ouchi guards, only to be frightened by the Ouchi guards pulling the reins of their horses and turning away. I forgot that it would be faster to run away on horseback.

In fact, the civet cat did not mean to shoot them with a gun. She has a limited number of bullets, and now that she has seven bullets left in the chamber, how can she use them easily?

Xiao Ding saw that all the Ouchi guards had fled, and he didn't mean to chase them, but just put away his mace and came to the corpse of the Fengling Sanren. Searched his body, in addition to the spirit bag, he also found a book called, which looked very old, Xiao Ding guessed that this might be the secret book of their spirit sect.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, all of them will be put into the jade pendant space first, and then slowly study them when they have time in the future. Then, his eyes fell on the Tao Xun who rolled to the ground, which was not broken, and it seemed that it should be a good thing. However, Xiao Ding didn't pick it up, because that Tao Xun was something that was often put on his mouth by Fengling Sanren, and he didn't want to pick up something that others had touched with their mouths.

However, Xiao Ding suddenly came up with an idea, if he was depressed one day, he would make a Tao Xun to play a song, and the timbre of Tao Xun would indeed match the depressed mood.

Seeing that there was nothing left to be searched on the Fengling Sanren, Xiao Ding called the civet cat, and the two continued to turn over and get on their horses and walk towards Zhongzhou City.

The two walked around Zhongzhou City for an afternoon, and Xiao Ding helped the civet buy a lot of high-quality internal and external clothes and jewelry, as well as some other daily necessities. For example, bronze mirrors, combs, rouge, and the like. Although the civet cat usually has no habit of wearing makeup, Xiao Ding still bought one for her to prepare, in case she wants to use it on a whim.

After the two of them finished shopping, Xiao Ding also took the civet cat back to his general's mansion, mainly to take her to recognize the door, and she will be the hostess of this mansion in the future, if she can't even find the door, it will be embarrassing.

It just so happened that Xiao Ding hadn't been back to the house for a long time, so he greeted Steward Xia, who had been helping him take care of the General's Mansion, and introduced the civet cat to him, so that he would treat the civet as a hostess when he saw the civet in the future.

Steward Xia was originally working in King Mu's mansion, and he has always been very good at this kind of thing. The man brought the hostess back, which is normal, and he just told his subordinates that this was the hostess.

Xiao Ding didn't stay long in the General's Mansion, he left some silver for Steward Xia for his daily expenses, and then left the General's Mansion with the civet and returned to the barracks out of the city.
