Under the attack of the traitors of heaven and earth and the reinforcements of the imperial court, the defeat of the Qinwang army has been revealed, so Zhu Jianwen ordered that the vassal kings of all walks of life gathered in Shandong to gather their troops and fight to the death, waiting for the imperial court to prepare the army and two of the three battalions of reinforcements later, wanting to concentrate their forces to fight each other.

In the northwest, Fang Qingze was seriously injured, although it caused turmoil in the northwest, it did not attract a large army to come to reinforcements, and Chao Xing was still in a coma, so he could only be fed with soup, and many precious herbs were hanged, and later sent to the Murong family for consultation, but there was still no improvement, so Fang Qingze decided to go to Beijing and let him think of some ways to see if he could save Chao Xing.

Fang Qingze did not encounter any obstacles along the way, because the feudal king had eliminated most of the local defenders when he was in turmoil, and the leopard's clan was extraordinary, so he was invincible and invincible, and the marching speed was extremely fast, at the end of March of the fifth year of Jingtai, when Fang Qingze and others traveled to Shanxi, they found a large number of soldiers and horses coming to the imperial court, in order not to cause unnecessary casualties, they detoured to Shandong, and wanted to go north from Shandong to find Lu Yunzhi near Beijing.

The Qinwang army has two deputy commanders, and there are also two soldiers and horses attacking the imperial court, one is the main force led by Zhu Jianwen, and the other is the deputy commander of the Qinwang army who is in charge of the command is Zhu Qigang, Wu Hao's master plays the hexagram and the main vein, this road of soldiers and horses plus Zhu Qigang, the bare general, is only three vassal kings, and a total of six people who later returned to the vassal king, and the troops are also very weak, only more than 2,000 people are mostly poorly trained, old, weak, sick and disabled,

Nanjing's military department launched a large army several times to pursue Zhu Qigang's Qinwang soldiers, but they fled from the wind and did not contact it, Nanjing asked for orders to flank Zhu Jianwen's Qinwang soldiers, but Yu Qian was not allowed, claiming that Nanjing did not move, and wanted to stay behind to prepare to resist Qu Xiangtian's army, just when the Nanjing military department laughed at Yu Qian's misjudgment, Qu Xiangtian acted, as Yu Qian expected, Qu Xiangtian was like a bamboo, and Annan led 60,000 troops to the city of Nanjing, which took only two months, which was about the same as the normal marching speed.

When Zhu Qigang's Qinwang army and Qu Xiangtian joined forces, Qu Xiangtian also played the banner of the Qing monarch's side, and began a fierce attack on Nanjing, Nanjing has abundant troops, sufficient grain and grass, and the city defense is extremely strong, ready to do a protracted war, firmly blocking Qu Xiangtian's army in the south, in fact, Qu Xiangtian could have bypassed Nanjing and attacked Beijing directly, but if this is the case, it is easy to be surrounded by Yu Qian, so taking Nanjing is the only way,

At the beginning of April of the fifth year of Jingtai, on the high post outside the city of Bazhou, a mysterious team of more than 2,000 people quietly looked at the city in front of them, as if it was a lamb to be slaughtered, the team was silent, hidden in the darkness, the only light was the knife with the cold light and the eyes of the cavalry, their eyes were full of infinite killing intent,

In front of the team, a beautiful man with white temples stood on a horse, with a sword hanging from his waist and a horsewhip, dressed in a green robe, under the moonlight, the thin but tall figure showed the true colors of the golden iron horse man, the April day was already a little stuffy, and the wind was blowing like a roast on the fire.

The beautiful man pointed at the Bazhou City in front of him with a horsewhip, and turned his head sideways to a young man next to him who was also very good-looking: "Bai Yong, do you think the attack was too smooth some time ago, do you see if there will be an ambush in this Bazhou City." "It turns out that one of these two people is Lu Yunzhi, and the other is Bai Yong, the commander of this cavalry.

In the past few months, this cavalry team has been invincible, interspersed between various battlefields, the attack was extremely smooth, and later attracted a large number of rebellious Tiandiren and Shenji battalions and three thousand battalions to come to the rescue, and then Lu Yunzhi ordered to march at night and ambush, although the speed of the march in the mountains has slowed down, but fortunately, this army is mostly composed of light cavalry, there is no baggage, but the speed is amazing, so this group of people quietly left the battlefield in Henan and Shandong, and unknowingly came to Bazhou, which is not far from the capital,

Bai Yong listened to Lu Yunzhi's question and thought for a moment and replied: "There is indeed such a possibility, but even if they set up an ambush, we are not afraid, after all, most of the traitors of heaven and earth have been sent to Shandong, and besides, this Bazhou is just a small city, how can there be heavy soldiers and high-ranking guards." ”

"Bai Yong, you underestimate the enemy again, you will suffer a big loss in the long run, don't forget, according to the intelligence of Shang Yu, there is still a vein of heaven and earth that has not appeared, that is, Miao Gu Yimai, your Fengbo Zhuang is built in Guangxi, and Miao Gu Yimai is a neighbor, even Guangxi has disciples of Miao Gu, you should not be a stranger to them." Lu Yunzhi said softly,

Bai Yong nodded and sighed: "Miao Gu is really powerful, but I have been in the turmoil village to know very little, only know that we first arrived in Guangxi had a vicious battle with them, and then their vein master Qi Hua Niang came to ask for an explanation, a word disagreement started, this Qi Hua Niang is extremely powerful, and my Tai Shi Ancestor fought for three days and three nights, and finally I was seriously injured and retreated, and my Tai Shi Ancestor was also poisoned, although he solved himself, he was already angry and became a waste, and then the master came from outside, Accepted as a closed disciple by the Tai Shi Zu, he learned the way of qi from scratch, quickly surpassed many senior brothers, and finally inherited the mantle of the Tai Shi Zu, but Miao Gu Yi still held a grudge, and the daughter of the flower girl made a cloth, and came to seek revenge against the master and Zu beat her without the power to resist, so Miao Gu Yi never dared to provoke Feng Bo Zhuang again. ”

Lu Yunzhi looked at Bai Yong with interest and said, "Then who is this Tan Qing now, you haven't heard of it at all." Bai Yong shook his head and said: "Lord, you also said that she should have become the master of the pulse in the past two years, and you don't know Bai Yong, let alone Bai Yong, but Miao Gu has always been the owner of the surname, and I don't know how Tan Qing can be the master, it's really strange." ”

"Well, but I really don't know about the past of Fengbo Village, it's really interesting to hear you say it today, go back and tell me about it, I only saw it from the list of disciples who are reported to Zhongzheng by Miao Gu Yimai every year, the names of these vein masters you mentioned, now that I think about it, I really don't have any impression of this Tan Qing, so I infer that she has become a vein master in the past few years, they make good use of Gu poison, and most of the disciples are women, locally called grass ghost women, I don't know much else." Lu Yunzhi said,

"What the lord means is that the Miao Gu line may be guarding in Bazhou City." Bai Yong asked, Lu Yunzhi nodded slightly,
