Chapter 424: The Blade Unsheathed
Xuanyuan Po was not a person who was happy and angry, but his face was unusually dignified at the moment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qi Ning saw it in his eyes, but he could also understand Xuanyuan Po's state of mind at this time.
As the heir of the next generation of gods in the Shenhou Mansion, Xuanyuan Po can also be regarded as expected, this time he attacked Qianwu Peak, Ximen did not appear without a trace, but sent the eldest disciple Xuanyuan Po to come forward to take charge, in the eyes of many people, this may be a major ceremony for the transfer of power between the old and new gods.
Ximen Wuxian is already old, and in recent years, Ximen Wuxian has rarely asked about the affairs of the Shenhou Mansion, and the specific matters are handed over to Xuanyuan Po to deal with, everyone knows that the replacement of the old and new gods is only a matter of time.
This attack on Qianwuling is the biggest operation on the rivers and lakes in more than 20 years, and Ximen Wuxian handed over this matter to Xuanyuan Po, which is to give Xuanyuan Po the biggest opportunity and the biggest test.
Many people believed in their hearts that if the Thousand Mist Ridge Black Lotus Sect could be exterminated this time, they were afraid that Xuanyuan Po would officially take over the position of the gods.
This battle, of course, is extremely important to Xuanyuan Po, and the result can only be won by victory.
Therefore, Ximen Wuxian convened eight gangs and sixteen factions, gathered thousands of people, many people felt that it was nothing more than to let Xuanyuan Po win nine out of ten in this battle, once he won, as a leader, Xuanyuan Po is of course a great meritorious, and it must also be famous, in such a situation, it is natural to take over the position of the gods.
But things have obviously exceeded the expectations of Xuanyuan Po and even Ximen Wuxi.
Qi Ning secretly thought in his heart, Ximen Wuxian was obviously full of confidence in this battle, after all, he poured out all the elite forces of the rivers and lakes in the Great Chu and dealt with a Black Lotus Sect in the Western Regions, just like thousands of hungry wolves against a fierce tiger, even if there was some damage, it would definitely win in the end.
Therefore, Simon Wuxian sent his own daughter to experience it, which was nothing more than to see the scene.
However, before the attack on Qianwu Peak began, several people were killed, and this caused a commotion among the heroes, and the morale was greatly reduced.
There was a dead silence in the tent.
After a while, Xuanyuan Po finally said: "As soon as it dawns tomorrow, we will immediately attack Qianwu Peak." With a grim expression, he walked to the table, took the topographic map of Qianwuling, glanced at it, and then pointed to the map and said: "There are six roads into the mountain in the east, there are six hundred people here, the soldiers are divided into six roads, eighty people on each road, and the rest of the people are waiting at the foot of the mountain. ”
"The Black Lotus Sect is extremely familiar with the terrain of the Thousand Fog Mountains, and if it is at night, they have the upper hand." Zhuge Changting bowed slightly, "Attacking the mountain during the day, being able to see the terrain clearly is more beneficial to us." ”
"Six people, Zhuge Sect Master all the way, Dragon Pavilion Lord all the way, Duanmu Cave Lord and Yang Gang Master each way." Xuanyuan Po gave the order: "I personally lead one way, the other one leads Senior Brother Lan, and the six roads are aimed at the Qianwuling General Altar." In addition, he immediately sent people to inform the other men and horses overnight to launch an attack tomorrow. ”
Zhuge Changting and the others immediately surrendered their hands and said yes.
"Master Zhuge Gate, you can go down and prepare now." Xuanyuan said in a deep voice: "Order the heroes of all walks of life, take the lead in attacking the Black Lotus General Altar, there will be a heavy reward, in addition, those who have obtained the head of the Black Lotus Sect will be rewarded according to the head, and the ordinary sect members will be rewarded with five hundred taels per head, and if they obtain the heads of the four holy envoys or even the two of Xuanyang and Taiyin, they will be rewarded tenfold." ”
Qi Ning secretly thought that if the four holy envoys knew that their heads were worth five thousand taels of silver, they didn't know what they would think.
He also knew in his heart that five thousand taels of silver might not be a big amount for some dignitaries, nobles, giants, and wealthy people, but for ordinary people, it could be regarded as a huge amount.
It's just that these heroes may not pay too much attention to gold and silver.
This time, the gangs came, although it was because they succumbed to the prestige of the Shenhou Mansion, but many of them also had the intention of making meritorious contributions.
The Shenhou Mansion is like a boulder pressed on the top of the heads of the Jianghu Gang, for many years, the gangs did not dare to fight easily, so that the depth of many people's martial arts is difficult for outsiders to know.
Some people have practiced hard for many years, and their martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, but they do not publicize it to the outside world, and they have no opportunity to show their skills, and they are dissatisfied with the current pattern of rivers and lakes in their hearts, and they have endured it for many years.
If this battle can kill several masters of the Black Lotus Sect, not only can he make a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, but with this credit, he can negotiate with the Shenhou Mansion and expand the power of his faction.
After Zhuge Changting and the others went out, Xuanyuan Pocai whispered to Qi Ning: "Master Hou, I will wait for the mountain to attack, you are sitting at the bottom of the mountain, I don't know what to do?" ”
Qi Ning knew that Xuanyuan Po was worried that if he entered the mountain, he was afraid that there would be a mistake, and it was difficult to explain, so he said with a smile: "When I was in Chengdu, I could have let Zhan Ying return to Beijing, but in the end I agreed with her to stay, if she is safe and sound now, it doesn't matter if I fall down the mountain, and now I know that she was robbed up the mountain, so naturally I can't be in a hurry here." ”
Xuanyuan broke and said: "Hou Ye, don't worry, Zhan Ying will be fine." ”
"Oh?" Qi Ning asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
"I suspect that the Black Lotus Sect's ghost envoy infiltrated the camp, and the real purpose may not be to shake our morale." Xuanyuan Po said in a low voice: "His purpose may be to come to Zhan Sakura. ”
Qi Ning's brows tightened slightly: "You mean, he deliberately killed people in the camp to distract everyone's attention, and then found an opportunity to rob Zhan Sakura?" ”
"Not bad." Xuanyuan Po bowed slightly: "The Black Lotus Sect naturally already knows about the attack of the eight gangs and sixteen factions on Qianwu Peak, and there are many masters of the Black Lotus Sect, but I am afraid that they will have already sent someone to secretly target our Shenhou Mansion." I suspect they already know the identity of Sakura, so ......! ”
Qi Ning nodded slightly: "They know Zhan Ying's identity, so they ..... Robbed the war cherry blossoms, just to use the war cherry blossoms as a threat? ”
"The war cherry blossoms are in their hands, and they have one more life in their hands." Xuanyuan Po's expression was grim: "Once the situation is critical, they are likely to use Zhan Sakura as a condition for negotiation. If I'm not wrong, then they wouldn't dare to act rashly against Sakura. ”
Qi Ning thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, they won't hurt Zhan Sakura for the time being." He asked, "If the gods knew about this, would they ...... Stop attacking Thousand Mist Peaks? ”
Xuanyuan Po shook his head and said, "I know the temperament of the gods, once the matter is decided, it will never stop until there is no result. And this time it was an iron-blooded text, and all the people in the rivers and lakes had already arrived, and at this time, they stopped attacking halfway, and the Shenhou Mansion could not explain to the gangs and factions. After a pause, he continued: "So what we have to do now is to attack Thousand Mist Peak with all our strength at all costs, if we can attack the main altar of the Black Lotus Sect, the Black Lotus Sect will inevitably use the battle cherry blossom as a negotiation condition, and we can talk to them at that time." ”
That night, there was an atmosphere of armed warfare in the camp.
The soldiers were divided into six routes, Qi Ning insisted on entering the mountain, Xuanyuan Po let him follow Senior Brother Lan all the way, and sent more than 20 more people along the way, nothing more than to enhance his strength and protect Qi Ning.
Although there was a ghost envoy who made a fuss in the camp, but Ximen Zhan Sakura was robbed and did not publicize it to the public, after all, they were all people who mixed the rivers and lakes, although the camp once caused a commotion because of the appearance of the ghost envoy, and even the morale was greatly reduced, but thinking that after all, it was the elite people of the eight gangs and sixteen factions and the major gangs, and there were many people, and many people quickly calmed down.
Attacking Qianwu Peak is a good time to make a name for yourself, so many people are also secretly gearing up.
Qunhao are all people who are mixed in the rivers and lakes, so there are many tricks and tricks on the rivers and lakes, but there is no need to remind them too much, Xuanyuan Po just told everyone to be more careful, and the Black Lotus General Altar was the goal, but he didn't have too many words.
As soon as the sky was bright, Qi Ning looked up, only to see that above the mountainside of Qianwuling, they were all surrounded by mist, and it was not because of its proximity to the mountain range, the fog would fade a little.
Except for Qi Ning's team, which has a team of 100 people, the other five roads are all in a team of 80 people, and the remaining 100 people led by Senior Brother Ding will stay at the foot of the mountain temporarily, waiting to go up the mountain to support at any time.
Teams are not assigned at random.
The people on the rivers and lakes, the number of martial arts they have learned is different, and the stunts they are good at are also varied, some are good at short-distance fist and foot kung fu, some are good at sword skills, and there are many people who are good at using hidden weapons to attack the enemy from a long distance, so when going up the mountain, the people who practice weapons open the way in the front, and the middle is good at the people who are good at hidden weapons, and those who are good at fist and foot kung fu are the back of the palace.
Qi Ning's identity has never been revealed, and Senior Brother Lan is still the commander along the way.
Qianwuling stretches for dozens of miles, the terrain is precipitous, and the road up the mountain is also extremely dangerous, after the soldiers are divided into six roads, Qi Ning will follow Senior Brother Lan's team, according to the planned road up the mountain, and advance to the mountain.
The Miao people are good at the art of Gu poison, so among each team, there are also a few masters who are proficient in poison, and they are also equipped with wound medicine and the like.
Although Qi Ning has a mysterious and unpredictable footwork, and now his internal strength is quite deep, although he can't reach the internal strength cultivation of top masters, but with his internal strength, he is enough to be regarded as the number one person in the rivers and lakes, in addition to a set of mountain pusher kung fu, but Qi Ning knows in his heart that if he really encounters a strong enemy, these kung fu may not be able to protect himself.
He was very confident in that set of nameless swordsmanship, so before going up the mountain, he specially asked Xuanyuan Po to find a sword, although it was not as good as the Pilu sword given by the Great Guangming Temple, but it was also extremely sharp and extraordinary.
With a sharp sword in his body, Qi Ning was much more confident in his heart.
In order to ensure safety, in front of the brigade, two people with keen ears and eyes were specially sent to explore the way, but they did not open too far away, and the others were also cautious, many of them were old rivers and lakes, and some treacherous traps and tricks were easy to see through in front of these people.
