Tang Ao climbed slowly, but the wounds on his body were healing rapidly, and at this time, he saw the benefits of being modulated by Xuyan and taking Zhu Cao and Rouzhi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the other hand, Wang Shaoye, after cutting off his foundation, although he escaped with his life, he was in a state of running out of oil and lamps, and he had to spit out a few mouthfuls of blood every time he climbed out, and his face became worse and worse.

"Tang Ao, next year today is your sacrifice day, go die!" Wang Shaoye took out the Moro knife from his arms, the knife was not big, but the edge of the blade was shining sharply, and after approaching Tang Ao, he slowly stabbed towards Tang Ao's heart.

Tang Ao's arm was slightly longer than Wang Shaoye's arm, and when the tip of the Moro knife was against Tang Ao's heart, Tang Ao's hand grabbed Wang Shaoye's throat, and his five fingers tightened, Wang Shaoye, who was originally pale, suddenly turned red on his cheeks, and he couldn't breathe well and then suffocated.

Under Wang Shaoye's wielding, the Moro knife shredded Tang Ao's clothes, leaving dozens of blood marks on Tang Ao's chest, but the struggling arm movement became slower and slower, and the Moro knife finally fell to the ground.

Wang Shaoye's eyes were blood-red, his throat was rattling, and his voice was weak: "Tang Ao, I won't let you go if I turn into a ghost, you gang of chaotic ministers and thieves, you will be punished by heaven if you go against the sky, don't you know?" Then Tian Niangniang has already planned, Yangzhou City is just around the corner, and Wang is waiting for you to come to meet in the underworld. ”

Wang Shaoye's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally his neck was crooked, and Tang Ao confirmed that after Wang Shaoye's death, the strength gathered in his whole body was discharged, and he collapsed to the ground like mud, and he couldn't even move his fingers.

The night sky turned and the stars shifted, and before dawn, Tang Ao finally recovered some physical strength and mana, and looked at Wang Shaoye, who was tilted his head and died, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

The Dao is not the same, but it is not easy for cultivators, Wang Yuan's father and son, can cultivate to the stage of refining qi and building a foundation, I don't know how much time it has taken and how much hard work has been paid.

Now he has turned into a corpse and died on the ground, and the way of cultivation is really as Duo Jiugong said, step by step, one wrong step will be dead!

Tang Ao dug a pit in the ground, and after searching Wang Shaoye's body, he was hastily buried, but Pan Siliang didn't need it, he had already turned into a puddle of fishy juice, and he couldn't reach out if he wanted to bury it.

Opening Wang Shaoye's storage talisman, Tang Ao was stunned, only to see hundreds of various low-level talismans falling out of the storage talisman, the pills commonly used in the qi refining period, several seemingly extraordinary utensils, etc., the wealth of wealth is far above Wang Yuan, the head of the Maoshan faction.

Tang Ao didn't know that Wang Yuan loved his son like his life, and he had high hopes for Wang Shaoye, who was highly qualified, and most of the cultivation resources of the Maoshan faction were concentrated on Wang Shaoye, but now they were all cheaper than Tang Ao.

Tang Ao collected the spoils, picked up the Moro Knife and the Tianshu Greedy Wolf Seal, and wanted to refine one of them to enhance his strength, but he still didn't have time.

Listening to Wang Shaoye's words before his death, Wu Zetian had already planned for the Yangzhou army, Tang Ao not only had to return to Duliang Mountain as soon as possible to assist in the attack on Liu Xingju, but also to return to Yangzhou as soon as possible, where would there be time to refine the treasures!

Ten miles outside Duliang Mountain, when Tang Ao came back, the Yangzhou army was burying the pot and cooking, seeing Tang Ao going and returning, Yu Chi Zhao and Xue Chang were full of anticipation, and Yu Chi Zhao said in a trembling voice: "Lord Tang, Yangzhou sent reinforcements?" Tens of thousands of horses? Who's in command? ”

Tang Ao groaned, the way back had already been planned, but he couldn't explain it to Wei Chi Zhao and Xue Chang, and said coldly: "You wait for dinner to reorganize the troops and horses, and still attack Duliang Palace for the vanguard, and Yangzhou reinforcements will arrive later." ”

When Wei Chizhao and the others heard this, they suddenly felt confident in their hearts, and agreed to walk out of the military tent and began to gather soldiers and horses, Tang Ao instructed Yu Chizhao to beat the drum and attack the mountain in two quarters of an hour, and then returned to the military tent under the pretext of running around, but in fact it was just a turn, and quietly sneaked into Duliang Mountain again.

With only the remnants of the defeated army under the command of Wei Chi Zhao, it was impossible to capture Duliang Palace, and Tang Ao could only help the Yangzhou army with magic powers.

Came to the rockery cave of Duliang Palace, and found that the old white crane was still unconscious, Tang Ao stretched out his hand and clicked on the white crane's body, the white crane woke up in pain, and when he saw Tang Ao in front of him, he still told him to spare his life.

Tang Ao snorted and said: "Bai He, give you a chance to atone for your crimes, you came forward to recruit Liu Xingju's brothers, so ......"

Bai He listened to Tang Ao's instructions, looked at the two Heavenly Fire Talismans handed over by Tang Ao, and said with chattering teeth: "Senior, this is ...... Little Lao'er has never used such a talisman, in case it can't be activated......"

Tang Ao wanted to catch the turtle in the urn and burn Liu Xingju's brother in the rockery, but he lacked mana and aura, and was worried that it would be difficult to get out of being surrounded by heavy soldiers, so he handed over this dangerous task to the old white crane, but the white crane trembled with fright.

"After the deed is done, there will be no more relationship between you and me." While Tang Ao gave Bai He a guarantee of his life, he took out a few talismans and a few bottles of pills from the storage talisman: "These things also belong to you, to tell you the truth, Wang Yuan's father and son, Pan Siliang have all been killed by me, you can choose what to do!" ”

When the old Dao Baihe heard that Wang Yuan's family had been killed by Tang Ao, he trembled even more, but when he saw the talisman and the pill, greed flashed in his eyes.

Stretching out his head is a knife, shrinking his head is also a knife, the old Taoist Bai He forcibly calmed his mind, swept away the pill talisman, and stammered: "Seniors, rest assured, Bai He will recruit that pair of killers to come, and they will not be able to get out of the artificial cave mansion." ”

Tang Ao left the rockery, climbed to the top of the main hall of Duliang Palace while people were unprepared, holding several heavenly fire talismans, and only waited for the Yangzhou army to attack the mountain to disturb the defenders on the mountain.

As soon as Tang Ao sat down, there were bursts of shouts and killings from the bottom of the mountain, and the Yangzhou army rushed towards the mountain like ants.

The defenders of Duliangshan had just won a big victory, and their morale was booming, so they took up their arms one after another, preparing to roll wood and stones, and they wanted to defeat the Yangzhou army again.

Just when the defenders were waiting for the military order, a sky-high fire suddenly rose from the rockery of Duliang Palace, Tang Ao saw it clearly, the robe on the old white crane had traces of burning, and his hair and beard were scorched black by the fire, which seemed to be a success.

However, what stunned Tang Ao was that when the old white crane fled for his life, he was still carrying four young ladies bound by vines, which looked ridiculous, but it also made Tang Ao's heart feel relieved, the white crane could take the four women away and avoid the scourge of swordsmen, which can be regarded as accumulating merit!

Tang Ao took this opportunity to summon up the remaining mana on his body, scattering the Heavenly Fire Talisman around, and shouted at the same time: "Duliangshan rebels, listen, Brother Liu Xingju has been awarded the head, and if you resist stubbornly, you will not be spared......

The defenders of Duliang Mountain were leaderless, the Yangzhou army attacked urgently, and Tang Ao fanned the flames everywhere, and the rabble who could only fight with the wind quickly collapsed.

Until this time, Wei Chi Zhao and Xue Chang knew that Yangzhou had not sent reinforcements at all, and the so-called reinforcements were Tang Ao who went into the tiger's den alone to get rid of Liu Xingju's brothers, and Wei Chi Zhao couldn't help but admire Tang Ao's courage and courage.

Seeing that the overall situation of Duliang Mountain had been decided, Tang Ao, who was worried about Yangzhou, told Wei Chizhao and Xue Chang a few words, and hurriedly returned to Yangzhou with more than 100 people.

After hitting the road, Tang Ao could no longer hold back the exhaustion that came from him, and lay on the carriage and fell asleep.

Tang Ao was woken up by the soldiers, looked at the sky and asked, "Have you arrived in Yangzhou?" ”

After Tang Ao asked, he found that the faces of the soldiers were a little strange.

"Lord Tang, we seem to have gone the wrong way, but we don't seem to have gone wrong, it's just ......" The soldiers were gossiping, and after not understanding the explanation, they hugged Tang Ao and got off the carriage, pointing ahead for Tang Ao to watch by himself.

Tang Ao never forgot it, looked at the surrounding roads, and remembered that this place was only thirty miles away from Yangzhou, but looking in the direction of the soldiers' fingers, he thought he was lost like the soldiers.

I saw a majestic pass ten miles away, which looked like the size of Chang'an City, but it was unreachable, straight into the clouds.

Tang Ao couldn't help but think of what Wang Shaoye said before he died, and his heart trembled, is this what Wang Shaoye said about Wu Zetian's plan?

How did such a majestic pass appear out of thin air? With this Xiongguan blocking the road of the Yangzhou army, how to march to Luoyang Kuang to restore Emperor Li Xian's throne?

"Take a detour, return to Yangzhou first." As far as Tang Ao could see, he saw that there was a faint aura disturbance above the Xiongguan, and after looking at it for a long time, the Xiongguan seemed to be a giant moving slowly, and the powerful pressure was coming, which was obviously not an ordinary person's means, and he became more and more anxious about the safety of Yangzhou.

Xiongguan is dozens of miles, Tang Ao and others went around for a day and a night, and finally came to the outside of Yangzhou City, Tang Ao stood under the city and looked back at Xiongguan, the sense of oppression was even worse, it seemed that Xiongguan would fall over at any time, and the accompanying soldiers were even more silent, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

When Tang Ao came back, Li Jingye led the crowd to greet him, and it could be seen that the expressions on everyone's faces were not very good, and they didn't pay attention to the victory of Duliang Mountain at all, and everyone glanced at the towering Xiongguan in the distance, intentionally or unintentionally, and the look of fear could not be concealed no matter what.

Li Jingye was quite calm, Tang Ao was victorious, and he had to praise a few words in public to boost morale, but when Tang Ao and others came to the palace, there were no soldiers on their side, and everyone sighed one after another.

Tang Ao frowned and said, "Grandpa Guo, what's going on?" In a few days, how can there be an extra Xiongcheng Pass out of thin air? ”

Without waiting for Li Jingye to answer, Li Zongchen said with a frightened expression: "Lord Tang doesn't know, yesterday was fine, at night, I heard a loud noise there to shake the sky, I thought there was an earthquake, at dawn I saw that there was an additional city, General Cheng sent people to investigate, as a result, hundreds of people have gone and have not returned......

Cheng Wuting said: "This matter is very strange, this general went to it in person later, there seems to be no soldiers guarding the Xiongguan, even the city gate is open, this general ordered people to go in to test, but dozens of people went in and never came back, I am afraid that there are some doorways." ”
