Sanguan is an ancient city, after countless wars, has long been dilapidated, Tiancheng Dynasty unified Kyushu, busy with outward conquest, before it had time to rebuild, it became a victim of war again, just a few years of work, has been poured several hands, now occupied by a descending army.

Xu Ji once said that in the cities of Qinzhou, Sangcheng had the most turnovers, but in fact, it was casual nonsense, and if the several heavenly kings present at that time knew more about Sanguan, they would immediately be able to point out the mistakes.

The leader of the Incarnation Army who occupies Sanguan is known as "Ancient Child Venerable" - a strange name, but he himself takes it very seriously, demanding that everyone must use it, and if anyone calls him by his name, he will be angry, even if the other party is the Heavenly King.

But in other things, Venerable Gu Tong couldn't fight several Heavenly Kings, such as guarding the Sanguan, which was not his voluntary choice, but the result of a lot - only the Venerable and the Divine Ding participated, and the stronger Heavenly King was responsible for overseeing it.

Venerable Gu Tong's subordinates were less than 2,000 people, and since guarding this dilapidated old city with no future, and seeing other new troops entering Qinzhou in search of food and shelter, his soldiers began to flee, without even saying hello, and directly defected to other leaders.

There are only more than 1,000 people left in Sanguan City now, and Venerable Gu Tong originally promised to hold on here until the beginning of spring, but seeing that the soldiers are dwindling, he decided to leave early, taking advantage of the undecided situation, to snatch a piece of meat from the mouth of the group of heroes, even if it is a small piece.

Therefore, when he heard that an army of the Descendants had gone and returned, he was naturally very surprised, and he was also very happy, and he went to the city early to see which leader was stupid, and he was willing to hand over the Sanguan at once in exchange for a marching route.

Gong Fan's soldiers did not re-elect the big leader, and still agreed that Xu Ji would "hold it temporarily", because none of them had a better idea.

Xu Ji carefully maintained his relationship with this descending army, even if it was the simplest order, he had to first obtain the consent of the big and small leaders, and it would be conveyed by Qiu Wuye and others, even if he was a small soldier, he would never give orders directly.

The killing of Gong Fan was done by Du Gou Sanyi and had nothing to do with others, everyone accepted this conclusion and let go of the soldiers brought by the three heavenly kings, but they detained Yan Peck Ying and Mu Tianzi, and they could only be released when they returned to Hanzhou.

The flags of the Descendant Army are incomplete, and they are often changed as they wish, so Venerable Gu Tong only recognizes people, not flags.

He recognized Fifth Master Qiu and said loudly on the city wall: "Why didn't Brother Gong come with him?" I heard that something happened to him, is it true? ”

"It's hard to say in a word, go into the city and talk about it." Qiu Wuye replied.

Venerable Gu Tong sighed in his heart, and hurriedly walked down the city wall to greet the guests.

Qiu Wuye came to say hello first, so that the team behind him could enter the city smoothly, and after getting permission, he sent someone out to report the news, and said to the master: "Brother Gong was unfortunately killed, and we have a new leader." ”

There had already been rumors that had spread to the Scattered Pass, and after Venerable Gu Tong heard about it with his own ears, he was still surprised, "Who is it for?" ”

"Du Gousan, that bastard."

"Everyone started an incident in Hanzhou together, and jointly raised the banner of the world army, which is regarded as their own brothers, how can the king of heaven be so unfaithful?"

"Phew, he covets the little food that Brother Gong has worked so hard to accumulate."

Venerable Gu Tong nodded, "Knowing the appearance of the person but not the heart, that's what it means." Anyway, it's good that you're here, you have soldiers and food, you can hold on for a while, I just take the troops away as soon as possible, and if I don't look for food, my people will all starve to death. By the way, who's the new leader? Did you come along? ”

"This is the one." Fifth Master Qiu dodged out of the way, revealing the person behind him, "Venerable Gu Tong has come to meet our new leader, Mr. Xu Qixu. ”

Venerable Gu Tong was stunned for a moment, he thought that the new leader must be a subordinate of Gong Fan he was familiar with, but he didn't expect it to be a strange white-faced scholar.

Xu Ji stepped forward and said with a smile: "In Xia Xu Ji, I have long admired the name of Venerable Gu Tong. ”

"Huh? Yes...... You are...... Your Excellency is the new Divine King? Disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

"I have the trust of the leaders, let me temporarily hold the position of the big leader, but I am not called the king of gods."

"Oh." Venerable Gu Tong didn't know how to speak, "That'...... Is Xu Dashi, the king of hundred eyes, related to you? ”

"It's not related, but I've already invited the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King and other leaders to meet here, maybe we can meet in two days."

Venerable Gu Tong had to look at Fifth Master Qiu, hoping that he would resolve the embarrassment.

Fifth Master Qiu was busy guiding the soldiers into the city and didn't notice the situation here.

Xu Ji smiled: "Venerable Gu Tong doesn't recognize me, it's normal, I'm not from Hanzhou......"

Xu Ji ...... Are you that Xu Ji? Venerable Gu Tong suddenly remembered some rumors.

"I wonder which one your Excellency is thinking of?"

"The Xu Ji who forced King Xiong to death with He Rongren, and was hunted down by He Rongren afterwards?"

"It must be me, but I didn't force King Xiong to die, it was a rumor deliberately spread by He Rongren."

Venerable Gu Tong was not at all interested in avenging the Heroic Enemy, but he remembered more and more rumors, "You are really the husband of the Golden Holy Maiden?" ”

"It's true."

Venerable Gu Tong shook his head again and again, sensing the gaffe, and hurriedly smiled: "Mr. Xu, don't blame, I'm just ...... It's just that I didn't expect that many people said that you were jealous of King Xiong's proposal to the Golden Holy Maiden, so you ...... Hehe, since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, and Mr. Xu has been promoted to be a big leader at such a young age, which is admirable. ”

"After the award, I just temporarily hold the position of the leader, and after everyone makes a decision, I will return it in my place."

"What decision?"

"Go back to Hanzhou, or continue to stay in Qinzhou."

Venerable Gu Tong was stunned again, for him, this was a matter that had been decided a long time ago, and it was not worth arguing about, but he wished that someone would guard the pass for him, and he didn't want to have more rights and wrongs, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Xu will definitely be able to give everyone a good idea." That, I won't be in the way, the pass will be yours from today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, I will take people away. ”

"Why bother, it's better to stay and discuss together."

"Hehe, this is your housework, I don't want to participate, and there are only a few days left before the beginning of winter, I have to find some food as soon as possible to fill the stomachs of my subordinates, unless-" Venerable Gu Tong approached and said in a low voice: "Can Brother Gong's food be given to me a little?" ”

"I can't do anything about this, even mentioning it will cause trouble." Xu Ji is telling the truth.

Venerable Gu Tong sighed lightly, not surprised by this answer, "I understand, no one's food comes in vain, it is all exchanged for human life. Alas, it's good that you're here anyway. ”

Venerable Gu Tong had nothing to say, and he was going to leave.

Xu Ji said: "Venerable Gu Tong wait a minute, I want to inquire about the situation in Hanzhou." ”

"Fifth Master Qiu, didn't they say it?"

"They entered Qinzhou relatively early, and they have never cared about the situation in their hometown anymore, unlike Venerable Gu Tong, who can often meet the incarnation army from Hanzhou in Sanguan."

"That's right, I have the Descendant Army passing by here every day, the big ones have gone deep into Qinzhou, and there are still a lot of small shares, which have been a little less in the past two days. According to them, Hanzhou appointed a new shepherd, fought under the banner of the Tiancheng court, and captured counties everywhere, increasing in power, and was the most ruthless to the descending army, and he would be killed if caught. ”

"Can Venerable Gu Tong know the name of the new shepherd?"

"There are too many theories, I don't know which one is true, it should be a big family."

"It is said that there is also a Yizhou army entering Hanzhou?"

"Yes, there is one, it is said that it is the reinforcements invited by the new herdsman, there are hundreds of thousands, someone has bumped into them, they are really strong, invincible, now as long as they hear that the Yizhou soldiers are coming, no one dares to fight, how fast can they run."

"Shan Yu ordered all the heroes of the world to go and visit, did the people of Hanzhou go?"

"I don't know."

"The two armies of Han and Yi fought separately, or did they merge into one army?"

"I don't know."

"Who is the commander of the Yizhou Army?"

Venerable Gu Tong scratched his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu asked too carefully, everyone is in a hurry to flee for their lives, who cares about this kind of thing?" The soldiers entered the city, and it is estimated that Mr. Xu will be busy for a while, so I will not disturb...... Is that the Demon King and the Bitter Demon King? ”

"The two kings are my guests."

Venerable Gu Tong was shocked, "What about their team? ”

"I've been following behind, I should arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, whether I want to enter the city or not is another matter."

Venerable Gu Tong was originally suspicious of Xu Ji, the new leader, and when he saw the two Heavenly Kings who had become captives, he felt that something was wrong, and began to regret that he had talked to Xu Ji for too long, and in front of so many people, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu is busy, I will leave first......

There are only a few complete houses left in the city, and the soldiers still have to set up tents, Xu Ji lived in one of them, and just after eating, Qiu Wuye came in and said: "Venerable Gu Tong led the troops away, let out a few good houses, and ask Mr. Xu to live in the past." ”

"So fast?"

Prince Qiu smiled: "He was scared, thinking that we were going to fight with a few heavenly kings, so he said that he would leave, and he asked me to apologize on his behalf, saying that he would not come to resign to Mr. Xu." ”

"He's willing to hand over Sanguan, and that's enough."

"Ha, if we don't come, he will have to leave soon, he has little food in the army, and if he doesn't take food, he will starve to death here sooner or later."

"It's all about food."

"Of course, if there is food, who wants to leave their homeland."

"Hanzhou is not only a hometown, but also has a lot of grain ......"

"Mr. Xu doesn't have to say this to me, I am willing to go back to Hanzhou, everyone is willing, but I can't beat the Hanzhou Army and the Yizhou Army, so I was forced to come to Qinzhou in desperation."

"Well, I want to know more about the situation in Hanzhou, did the fifth master ask for any new news?"

"I've sent someone to inquire, but there's no news for the time being. Mr. Xu, change your residence, how can you say that you are also a big leader. ”

Venerable Gu Tong arranged a comfortable place for himself, at least there was no leakage, he walked in a hurry, most of the things in the room were not moved, Xu Ji sat on the made bed, and there was a feeling like falling into the clouds.

Not long after nightfall, Qiu Wuye brought bad news, "Du Gousan, Yan Peck Eagle, and Mu Tianzi's soldiers all threw themselves into the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King, and the four families merged into one family, and they wanted to come to Xingshi to ask for their guilt." ”

"The Hundred Eyes Heavenly King has so much food to feed the four soldiers?"

"It's still beating our idea here." Qiu Wuye said hatefully, "Although the scattered pass is broken, it can be defended for a while, and the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King will hold on for half a month at most, and then he will have to retreat." ”

"Hmm." Xu Ji didn't worry about this matter, he even hoped that the new army from all roads would come.

"By the way, there is some new news in Hanzhou, and it is a coincidence, was Mr. Xu's surname Lou in the past?"

"Yes."

"The new Hanzhou shepherd is your own family, and his surname is Lou, but I don't know what it's called."

"Obstruction?" Xu Ji immediately thought of this name, this person is the sixth son of the Lou family, and has been an official in Hanzhou, and the general once wanted to defect to this son, because of the chaos in Hanzhou, he couldn't find anyone to give up.

"Presumably, it turns out that Mr. Xu recognizes it, this is good news, right?"

Xu Ji smiled, feeling that this was worse news than the Hundred Eyes Heavenly King.
