Foreword: Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish.

"How can this be true! ridiculous! ridiculous! ridiculous!! my dignified Qing Kingdom was actually teased by a small school of rivers and lakes, if they were not given color to see, how could they know the prestige of the Great Qing Empire!" Emperor Tongzhi held the charge tightly in his hand and said angrily.

"What His Majesty the Emperor said is extremely true, the Spirit Master Sect can be described as bold and reckless, and only a thousand people guarding him dare to be so arrogant, he simply does not put the emperor and the Qing Kingdom in his eyes. Zhang An took a step forward and said.

"Zhang Aiqing. ”

"Weichen is here, I order you to be the general of Dangkou, lead 10,000 horse infantry troops, and go to the Lingshi Gate!"

"We're in charge. ”

(Campus)

"Congratulations to Lord Zhang, congratulations to Lord Zhang, in a few days, your Excellency will be able to achieve great merit. Lu Ru said.

"It's too early for Lord Lu to say this. ”

"What is Lord Zhang saying, with the ability to lead the army like my lord, how can there be a reason why the heavenly soldiers and generals who lead the imperial court are not successful. ”

"Hahahaha... Those who know me, Lord Lu also. ”

Zhang An and Lu Ru looked at each other and laughed.

"Have you done everything that Lord Lu told you?"

"Your Excellency, please see. Lu Ru pointed to the left side of the school field, but saw that the eight killers of the Phantom Organization had gathered there.

"Very good, but I wonder if their spiritual power has recovered? ”

"Lord Zhang, please rest assured, the spiritual power of the four of them has recovered, and as for the demon and the owl, they have already begun to kill. ”

"Good, good... Okay. ”

"In addition to your Phantom Assassin Killer, my subordinates, Black and White Impermanence, will also join the war. Coupled with the heavenly soldiers and generals with 8,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, the day of the destruction of the Spirit Master Gate is just around the corner. ”

"Yes, my lord is right. ”

Zhang An looked like he was bound to win, and said loudly to the whole army:

"We'll be called to the thief!

The sergeants below shouted in unison:

"Kill, kill, kill, kill thief, kill thief!"

"The whole army is attacking!" Zhang An gave an order, and the army marched mightily.

(Overseas)

There is a sentry post every five miles from the Spirit Master Gate, which is used to inform the risk in advance, and a total of six places are arranged, and the six are connected, stretching for thirty miles, like an invisible Great Wall, which can be used to defend against enemy troops with eyes.

When the army led by Zhang An arrived thirty miles away from the Spirit Master's Gate, they set up camp.

"Why is Lord Zhang camping here?" asked Lu Ru on the side of Zhang An's horse.

"It is my best policy to set up camp here, first, there is the farthest sentry post of the Spirit Master Gate here, so that they can deliberately see it so that they can ventilate the news earlier, and see so many military horses, so that they will be afraid without a fight. Second, if we continue to go deeper, we may fall into the ambush of the Spirit Master Gate, the Spirit Master Gate is more familiar with the terrain than us, if we go deep without authorization and fall into their ambush, our losses will be great, Lord Lu, don't you say?"

"My lord is far-sighted, how can I and other ministers have the wisdom of adults. Admire, admire. ”

(Spirit Master Gate Golden Spirit Hall)

"Report to the master, the outpost at the front of the Lingshi Gate found that there were more than 10,000 Qing troops stationed thirty miles away, and the purpose of their trip seemed to be coming to the Lingshi Gate. Ouyang Yingluo reported.

"Some time ago, I just asked for more than 100,000 loads of grain, today, why did you lead so many military horses here, what do you want to do?"

"This... I don't know. Ouyang Yingluo replied.

Qinglu was still puzzled, and at this time, someone came in to report:

"Head, the envoy of the Qing army asks to see you!"

"Let him in. ”

After a while, a man walked in haughtily, and said in a haughty tone:

"My family Master Zhang has a letter asking the head of Qinglu to take a look!"

The doorman took the letter from the messenger's hand and delivered it to Qinglu.

Qinglu unfolded the letter and was immediately dumbfounded.

There were only two big bloody words written in the letter:

"War Book!"

"What does this mean?" Qinglu asked for no apparent reason.

"You're a boss who wants to ask this kind of question that everybody knows. ”

"Why is it a war book? What did my Lingshi Sect do wrong? Why did the imperial court send troops and horses?"

"What? Now I know that I am afraid? Why didn't you say it when you used sand and soil as food? Tell you! Now Lord Zhang An has led 10,000 troops and horses to camp thirty miles away from your Lingshi Gate, and tomorrow the war will officially begin! The day of the destruction of the Lingshi Gate will be tomorrow! This is the end of opposing the emperor! Your position as the head of the house will end tomorrow, so you should take care of your own affairs, and I will leave first!"

After listening to the envoy's words, Qinglu understood the reason for the matter, and he immediately ordered Ouyang Yingluo: "Call all the hall masters, leaders, and directors of the Spirit Master Sect to the Golden Spirit Palace, go quickly!"

"Yes!" Ouyang Yingluo turned around and left quickly.

Qinglu looked at the empty Golden Spirit Palace, he was stunned, he felt that everything he had just experienced was a dream, and everything was unreal. He even remembered that last night, he also said to his daughter Ting'er: "The current Spirit Master Sect is safe and peaceful, I will pass it on to you in the future, you have to manage it well." ”

But now, the bad news has suddenly arrived, how can this be acceptable, how is this possible.

Half an hour later, the Golden Spirit Hall was full of the heads of all the Spirit Master Sects.

"That day, Qing minister Lu Ru came to ask for food, who brought him the grain?"

"It's me. The dragon general stepped forward.

"Why is there all sand in the grain bags, and who did it?"

"Me. The dragon general said frankly.

Qinglu raised his eyes to look at him and laughed. That smile made the entire Golden Spirit Hall shudder.

Suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly.

"Dragon General! You are so bold! Do you know that by doing this, you are forcing the entire Spirit Master Gate to a dead end? The Spirit Master Gate is destroyed in your hands! Poor Spirit Master Gate, which has been passed down from generation to generation for a hundred years, is actually going to be buried on me. What face do I have to see my fathers and fathers, and how can I explain to them!"

"Head, I just can't get used to seeing the face of the Qing army, going back on his word, deceiving the people, since they came to the door today, I will not do anything, a good man does things, a good man, and I am willing to exchange my head for the peace of the spirit master. ”

"Fart! Do you think that the Qing Empire is raising teachers and mobilizing people to take your life?! They are here this time to completely wipe out the Spirit Master Gate, and your life can be worth a few dollars! All you can do is push the Spirit Master Gate up the fire pit. Did You Know?!"

Qinglu burst out foul mouth.

Only then did the dragon know the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't know what to say.

Seeing such a situation, Gu on the side said:

"Master, since the military horses of the imperial court have come, they have to face the battle. Only by defeating them can peace be possible. ”

Ouyang Yingluo, who was on the side, retorted:

"If we face the battle, it means that we really have a rebellious heart, and there is no way to defend ourselves when the time comes. ”

Nian Nian, who was standing in front of Gu, walked out and said:

"Right now, since the official army has come, it means that the Qing Emperor has understood that the Lingshi Gate is rebellious, if you want to refute, they will not listen anymore, if you are indifferent here, then it means that the people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and I can only be slaughtered by others, which is no different from sitting and waiting to be killed. ”

"Yes, the hall master is very right, in my opinion, the situation of the Spirit Master Gate is already between the cliffs, and what the dragon general did is just a fuse, since the imperial court requisitioned 150,000 stone grain from the Spirit Master Gate, the Spirit Master Gate has been regarded as a thorn in the side by some court thieves, and the flesh has been thorned. They did this just to use the reputation of the Qing Emperor to cover people's eyes and ears, and it seemed that they were justifiably snatching the spirit wine. ”

It was the new Kaimen Ziran who said this.

He continued: "You don't have to continue to ask why, I can tell you right now that Zhang An was a thief who took bribes and bent the law when he was in the Sichuan Mansion, and later he became an important minister of the court by unscrupulous means. It was he who said to the emperor that after drinking the spirit wine, it can lubricate the body and make people immortal. However, every time a court official came to ask for it, the head of the family refused on the grounds of disrupting the balance of the spiritual world. ”

"What does this mean, this shows that we have offended the so-called important ministers of the imperial court, and even if this incident does not happen today, it will happen in the days to come. We all know that the spirit wine of the Spirit Master Sect does not have the effect of immortality, and some so-called Qing Dynasty courtiers say that the spirit wine has such an effect, which can only show one thing, that is, these thieves in the court have bad intentions and ulterior motives. ”

Hu Dao also said: "The eighth brother is very right, we have to fight if we don't fight, and we have no choice." ”

"Gu Dou dares to say a few more words, this battle must be fought, and they must be scared. The Qing Empire sent troops to come, to spend military money and food, can not fight a protracted war, and can not transfer many soldiers, because Kyoto is in the north, the Lingshi Gate is in the south, gather 500 miles, the road is bumpy, the mountain road is rugged, although our Lingshi Gate does not have an advantage in numbers, but can win the battle according to the natural danger. Again, only when you win a war can you have the capital to negotiate, and when you win a war, wait for them to negotiate peace, and at that time, the head of the sect can hand over 150,000 stone of grain and the iron scroll of exoneration given by the emperor to the Lingshimen, and let them be delivered to the current Qing emperor. ”

Gu carefully analyzed the form under his eyes.

"When they were handed over to the Qing Emperor, the Qing Emperor had to agree to negotiate peace, because he was at a disadvantage and had the advantage of victory, the Spirit Master Gate was enough to give him face, and it also gave him enough steps to go down, and it also gave him enough reasons to persuade the minister to stop fighting. The most important thing is to gag Zhang An's bastard!"

The reason why he was gagged was because a defeated courtier had no reason to speak again, which has been the rule since ancient times. But the most important thing at this moment is to find a way to defeat this 10,000-strong Qing army. Otherwise, nothing is said. ”

Qinglu heard everyone's opinions, and his mood became rational.

He said: "Then the people will discuss a battle plan tonight, so that they can fight the Qing army tomorrow." ”

Everyone: "Obey the words of the master." ”

"As for the dragon general, I allow you to make meritorious contributions for your crimes, don't you hate the Qing army to the core, I will give you a chance to beat them. ”

The dragon general clenched the Jinyun Jiao Dragon Spear and said, "I will definitely not disappoint the master." ”
