Zhan Wuxian led the four thousand phantom warriors to rush to the outside of Caicheng City in advance, and from a distance, the corpse beast soldiers had already launched a general attack, and the south gate was the most tight. Gongzi defeated the enemy and Fei Wuji were fighting fiercely at the head of the city, on the surface, the two of them were equal, and the discerning person knew at a glance that Fei Wuji was obviously insisting, and there was more defense and less attack in the hand, if it wasn't for the fact that he had already practiced the art of one sword and three bodies, I am afraid that he would have been defeated.

The corpses of the corpse beast guards who attacked the city gate were already piled up on both sides, like two embankments, leaving a narrow aisle in the middle, and the corpse beast soldiers pushed the rushing cart one after another, hitting the city gate, and it seemed that the city was about to be broken.

Zhan Wuxian saw that Cai Cheng was in great danger, and with an order, he took four thousand bronze phantom warriors to charge behind the corpse beast pawns. When they came into contact with the corpse beast pawns, the gate of Caicheng was smashed open, and the corpse beast soldiers swarmed in and started a street battle with the defenders in the city. Seeing this, Zhan Wuxian immediately led a thousand phantom warriors to fight a bloody path and attacked the city gate to prevent the corpse beast pawns from continuing to enter the city.

When the defenders of the city saw Zhan Wuxian arrive with reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted, and thousands of brave and bold soldiers immediately jumped off the city wall and fought with the corpse beast soldiers. Slowly, the battle between the two sides began to reverse, and the defenders of Caicheng reoccupied the city gate and quickly repaired it, preventing the corpse beast soldiers from continuing to enter. The corpse beast pawns who attacked the city encountered stubborn resistance, and the defenders in the city and the 1,000 bronze phantom warriors brought by Zhan Wuxian attacked back and forth, besieging and annihilating the corpse beast pawns in the city. Outside the city, there are more and more Caicheng soldiers who jumped off the city wall to join the war group, everyone fights bravely, even if they are injured by the corpse beast pawn, they still move forward bravely, especially the four thousand bronze phantom warriors brought by Zhan Wuxian, not only the martial arts are extremely high, but also the whole body is shrouded in a layer of corpse qi, and the wound can be recovered immediately after being cut by the sword of the corpse beast pawn, and the wound can be recovered immediately, it is really a miracle soldier.

Seeing the corpse beast pawn slowly retreating, Zhan Wuxian flew up the city wall and joined forces with Fei Wuji to fight against the enemy. As soon as Zhan Wuxian appeared, Childe knew that this attack would end in failure. After more than a dozen rounds, Childe stopped fighting and jumped out of the circle and said, "Fei Wuji, Zhan Wuxian saved you again." Haha, Zhan Wuxian you wait, I'll be back again. With that, he jumped off the wall.

In this battle, six or seven out of ten casualties among the corpse beast pawns, Gongzi defeated the enemy and retreated into Xicheng again, and the defenders of Caicheng also lost more than half, and they also needed to recuperate. In this way, there was a balance between the two sides for the time being, neither of them was capable of destroying the other, and the battlefield fell into a dead silence again, and the smell of burning corpses wafted again.

Xiong Qijian felt very remorseful for Zhan Wuxian to save Cai Cheng again, and he held a large banquet to entertain Zhan Wuxian, and announced that Cai Cheng's defense and military power would be handed over to Zhan Wuxian again. As for how Mo Wuya knew what Lingji said to Zhan Wuxian at the beginning, Zhan Wuxian didn't ask, and no one told him. Zhan Wuxian reorganizes the army and thinks about how to kill the son and defeat the enemy.

Three days later, he took Mo Wuya's mother and son back to Cai Cheng.

On this day, in the chamber of the Cai Gongfu, Xiong Qiji sat in the middle, with Zhan Wuxian and Fei Wuji on the left and right, and Gongzi Jiza, Gongzi Xiongjian, Baili Benlei, Chang Xingjun, Hu Tu and the Yang brothers below. Xiong Qiji said first: "Childe has been besieging the city for more than three years, and we have also had several battles with him. Don't hide it from you, now there is not much grain and grass left in the city, and the soldiers can only eat one full meal a day, not to mention the common people, if this continues, I am afraid that people will eat people, and when the time comes, there is no need for Gongzi to strike the enemy to fight, Cai Cheng himself will not be able to hold on. There are also thousands of troops on the border of the state of Xu, and they may withdraw at any time to attack us. The current situation is more auspicious for us, what do you think about defeating Gongzi as soon as possible to relieve the siege of Caicheng? ”

None of the people present spoke, after three years of war, these heroes in the world have lost a little bit of their original heroism.

"Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"

Still no one spoke.

After a long time, Fox Tu said: "Since we can't defeat Gongzi and defeat the enemy, it is better to send someone to assassinate him." ”

"Childe has the technique of infinite circulation of life, how to kill him, if he can be killed, he will die under Mr. Zhan's sword a long time ago."

Fox Tu lowered his head: "Since the sword can't kill him, why don't you try poison." ”

Xiong Qiji didn't pay any more attention to him, turned his head and asked Zhan Wuxian: "Sir, what do you think?" ”

Zhan Wuxian shook his head and said, "In the last battle, although we won, we also won. Fighting against Childe's enemy, I feel that his skills have increased a lot, and every time he resurrects his skills, his skills are deeper, and I can't think of any good ways to do it. ”

"Are we just going to sit back and wait?" Xiong Qiji regretted it a little, he originally hoped that Zhan Wuxian could help him kill Gongzi and defeat the enemy, but now he ...... If you know today, why bother in the first place. Once he loses hope, those mercenary nations will abandon him, and even worse, someone is likely to plot against him behind his back, but what can he do?

"In that case, I can only resign myself to fate, and I'm sorry for you." Xiong Qiji said dejectedly.

An atmosphere of defeat pervades the chamber.

"No matter how strong a person is, there must be weaknesses." Zhan Wuxian must stand up and speak at this time: "Although Gongzi has an immortal body, it doesn't prove that we can't defeat him." ”

"What Brother Zhan said makes sense." Gongzi Jizha said: "The last time I went back to Qi, I accidentally met the master of the soul wood pawn again, I talked with the master for a long time, and said that Gongzi defeated the enemy's immortal body, please teach him how to crack it, the master laughed, said that there is no immortal body in the world, it is not difficult to kill Gongzi to defeat the enemy, I asked the master how to kill the son to defeat the enemy, the master just didn't say, only said, when the time comes, someone will deal with him." What does this mean, Childe's defeat must have a weakness, and we can kill him as long as we find his weakness. ”

"So how can we find his weaknesses?"

"His weakness may not be in himself. I heard that there is a demon sword called Xuanyuan Sword in heaven and earth, which is the sword that the Yellow Emperor killed Chiyou in ancient times, and legend has it that Chiyou is also immortal, Xuanyuan Sword can kill Chiyou and kill Gongzi to defeat the enemy, if we find Xuanyuan Sword, it will not be difficult to kill Gongzi and defeat the enemy. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited, swept away their previous frustration, and they all started to talk about it, saying that this was a good idea, which could not only kill the son and defeat the enemy, but also get the world's first divine sword.

"After the Yellow Emperor killed Chi You, he sealed the Xuanyuan Sword, because it was too powerful, and no one in the world could control it. Besides, who has ever seen the Xuanyuan Sword, what does it look like, where is it, and how did you get it? ”

Everyone in the room fell silent again.

"It's better to have hope than not to have hope." Xiong Qiji said: "If you are still willing to defend Caicheng with me Xiong Qiji, we will divide the troops into two ways, Mr. Fei and Ji Zha Gongzi will find Xuanyuan Sword, and Mr. Zhan will lead the three armies to guard Caicheng, everyone must listen to Mr. Zhan's instructions, Mr. Zhan can dispose of anyone, and there is no need to report to me." If someone wants to quit, I won't stop them. Xiong Qiji's implication is that if he wins the throne of the king of Chu, those who quit halfway will not get any benefits, and if someone wants to plot against him, it will not end well. The reason why Xiong Qiji sent Fei Wuji and Gongzi Ji Za to find Xuanyuan Sword was that whoever found it would be his own. Fei Wuji is his own person, and Gongzi Ji Za is a righteous gentleman and will not have any plans for Xuanyuan Sword.

After everyone retreated, Fei Wuji said to Xiong Qi: "Hu Tu and the others have signs of retreating, do you want to ......?" Fei Wuji made a killing gesture.

"No, there is hope for Xuanyuan Sword, they won't leave for the time being."

"Cai Gong, do you really believe that you can find the Xuanyuan Sword?"

Xiong Qiji smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you believe it?" The Xuanyuan Sword is the hope of those people. ”

"Understood."

"Don't go there, spy on everyone, whoever makes a difference...... Do you understand? ”

"Understood."

"My two unruly brothers, I have to go back and watch them."

Zigan, Zihui, whenever Xiong Qiji repelled Gongzi's defeat of the enemy, they rushed back from the Jin Kingdom, and when they saw that Xiong Qiji couldn't hold on, they sneaked back again. Xiong Qiji also has no way to kill his two brothers, he can't kill him, he can't stop him, and he has to rely on them for some things. This time, I guess they want to slip away again.

Since then, the corpse beasts have assembled several times to attack Caicheng, but they have been repelled by the defenders of Caicheng led by Zhan Wuxian, and so on for more than a year. Cai Cheng was starving all over the place, and the people were panicked and almost collapsed. If this goes on for a long time, it won't be long before Caicheng will be slaughtered without attacking, and all the princes and countries are afraid of Chu, and none of them will dare to come to help. The Jin State was even more happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and also issued a statement: Cai Di belongs to the territory of the Chu State, and it is the internal affairs of the Chu State that the Chu people fight the Chu people, and we uphold the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, urging the two sides to sit down and negotiate, and we believe that the Chu State has the ability to solve its own internal problems. Since the Jin Kingdom has expressed its position like this, other countries are more willing to watch from the wall and watch the excitement.

Six months later, Gongzi defeated the enemy and commanded the corpse beast pawns to surround Cai Cheng again, ready to attack at any time.

On this day, the morning sun is rising, the morning glow is colorful, the sun is reflected on everyone's face, warm, but the city is covered with dark clouds, and the corpse beasts are black and can't see the edge. At this time, the soldiers in the city saw that there was a great chaos in the corpse beast pawn array, and a man ran above the corpse beast pawn's head. Wherever he went, the corpse beast soldier under his feet flipped on his back and flew out for several feet, and after a while the man arrived at the foot of the city, and jumped forward, and the soldiers saw that the man was being held by an old man's hand.

"Archers prepare." The Yang clan and the Divine Fire Soldier bent their bows and arrows to aim at those two people.

"Slowly, slowly. I know the guy below. As soon as he finished speaking, the two men had already landed on the city wall.

"You're pretty smart, and you remember my old man." The man down there.

"Old fairy, who in the whole city doesn't know you, you are ......" The soldier looked up and looked at the person above, guessing if the person above was captured by the old fairy.

"What so much nonsense, take me to see Zhan Wuxian."

"Yes, yes, please." The soldier obeyed those who came below.

"Uncle Shi, are you back?" Zhan Wuxian was happy to see the visitor, and when he saw Guiguzi's movements, he couldn't help asking, "This is." ”

"Oh, I forgot, I was afraid that the corpse beast would hurt him, so I carried him over." Guiguzi put down the man above.

"Who is this?" Zhan Wuxian looked at the man in front of him with messy hair, unshaven beard, and a slightly tired face, what is the origin of this person, and the uncle will protect him.

"Let him say to himself, bring me a jar of wine to drink." Guiguzi found a place to sit down, and immediately someone brought a jar of wine, and he poured himself a drink.

"Mr. Zhan, I'm Wu Zixu, you saved that Chu person in Taohua Village four years ago."

Zhan Wuxian suddenly realized: "You are Wu Zixu, the Chu person who was kidnapped by the Corpse King." ”

"It's me."

"How did you get back here?"

"Which old gentleman brought me here?"

"Uncle Shi......" Zhan Wuxian turned his head to ask Guiguzi.

"Don't bother me drinking." Guiguzi didn't even raise his head.

"Zixu, what are you doing with your uncle?"

"My father, Wu Hao, sent me to invite Mr. Zhan to Yingdu to talk about it. On the way here, I met a corpse beast pawn and almost died, but fortunately this old gentleman rescued me, and he didn't ask me where I was going, so he sent me here directly. After Wu Zixu finished speaking, he went to see Guiguzi, only to see him lying on the table and falling asleep, and there was not a drop left in the wine jar next to him.

"If there's anything you want to say here, you might as well say it here."

"This ......" Wu Zixu hesitated.

"All of you here are brothers who were born and died with me, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhan Wuxian said that he had regarded Hu Tu and others as brothers who fought side by side, and everyone present was pleased.

"It's not that I don't say it, and I really don't know it. Before leaving, my father told me that he would only tell Mr. Zhan if he saw him in person. This matter is very important and extremely important to the Chu State, so please forgive me. ”

"Nonsense, who knows if what you said is true or false, Mr. Zhan is Cai Cheng's humerus. Transfer him away, what if the corpse beasts come to attack the city? Fox Tu said.

"Maybe this is the time when Childe strikes the enemy and leaves the mountain, you shouldn't have been sent by Childe's enemy, right?" Jiao Qiuxin glared at Wu Zixu with both eyes.

"Will Mr. Zhan be in danger if he goes, people's hearts are unpredictable, it's better to be careful." Chang Xingjun said.

Wu Zixu said: "My Wu clan has served the kings of Chu since King Zhuang, and they are loyal to the Chu country. ”

Xiong Qiji said: "I know the loyalty of the Wu family, whether to go or not Mr. Zhan decides for himself, if he can really solve the danger of Cai Cheng, I Xiong Qiji's illness will be repaid by the spring." ”

Wu Zixu said: "My father said that this matter must be Mr. Zhan. ”

…… No one spoke anymore, everyone looked at the place where Guiguzi was sitting, Wu Zixu was brought by him, everyone wanted to hear the opinion of this old immortal, what Wu Zixu said was true or false. When people turned their heads, Guiguzi had long since disappeared, and the desk was engraved: You go, Cai Cheng, I watched. Everyone present secretly marveled at Guiguzi's unpredictable martial arts, and no one noticed when he left, but he still carved words on the desk. Zhan Wuxian was not surprised, and complained a little: You said last time that you were helping to guard Cai Cheng, but you didn't think it was fun, so you left by yourself halfway.

"Okay, I'll go." Others knew Guiguzi's temperament and temperament, and objected, saying that it would be more than auspicious. Zhan Wuxian said: "Staying in a lonely city is not a long-term strategy, even if you go to the soup and fire, you must always try it." ”

Immediately, Xiong Qiji arranged for the dead to attract the attention of the corpse beast soldiers, and the next night Zhan Wuxian and Wu Zixu broke out of the city.

After coming out of the council hall, Zhan Wuxian walked alone on the street, his heart was swaying, Cai Cheng had been poor for a long time, his family was ruined, there had been a shortage of food in the city for a long time, the people were skinny, and even worse, starvation could be seen everywhere, and it was shocking to see in his eyes. Zhan Wuxian thought to himself, this auspicious and unpredictable, how to talk to Mo Wuya. Over the years, his wife has followed her through many hardships and dangers, sharing hardships and hardships, and with her martial arts, she can take her family away. But he can't bear it, there are brothers who are born and die, there are simple and kind people, every time he walks on the street, there are people who bow to him and say hello, they have to give themselves food even if they are hungry, "Mr. can defeat the corpse beast pawn when he is full." "I am just a ranger, how can He De be so loved by the people.

Zhan Wuxian returned to his residence, stood quietly for a long time, and pushed the door in. "Daddy!" A crisp voice came, and she threw herself into the arms of the shirtless. In the past three years, Zhan Chi has grown from a babbling baby to a child. Zhan Wuxian picked up Zhan Chi and kissed him on his somewhat thin face, and suddenly felt a sinking in his back, and the little white ape, which had grown a lot, jumped on his back and played around. Zhan Wuxian's mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and he told Mo Wuya that he was going to Yingdu. Mo Wuya looked at Zhan Wuxian for a long time, and said, "Come back alive, I will wait for you with the child." Zhan Wuxian hugged Mo Wuya, getting tighter and tighter.
