Chapter 7: The Flames of Flames
At this moment, the one who was tied up outside was Zhuo Huide, the second master of the original Jianyanling, the "Hidden Tai Sui", and his secret identity was the mastermind behind the Black Court Ghost Sect who did all kinds of evil and was despised by the people of the rivers and lakes, and he had instructed several brothers who were bribed by him to kill Shu Chang, the big boss of Jianyanling.

Jianghu people have always been the most exquisite, is a "righteousness" word, the word "righteousness" is even more important than the word "chivalry", righteousness is thin clouds, righteousness and wealth, are the most admired by the people of the rivers and lakes, unobstructed heroes, do some evil things to rob the house, but not so cared about. It is precisely because of this that as soon as Zhuo Huide's murder of his brother was exposed, in the martial arts of Huaxia, he could not mix it up immediately, and even the underworld could hardly tolerate him.
After the Red Turban Army captured Jianyanling, it absorbed several generals in Jianyanling, including Lu Yunfei, as well as many low-level leaders and soldiers of the original Jianyanling.
At that moment, Lu Yunfei dragged Zhuo Huide to the front of the army and killed him with his own hands in front of all the soldiers to comfort the souls of those brothers who were killed.
In the tent on the other side, the red lady is entertaining the two daughters of the five poisonous flower girls, the hollyhock mother and the Fosang mother.
At this moment, Grandma Jin has fallen out with Brother Ranny, in fact, even if there is no falling out, seeing that Brother Gregory's ship is about to sink, not many people are willing to stay on this ship anymore, not taking advantage of the undecided situation, secretly come to negotiate peace with the Huaxia side, sell it at a good price, and wait until the Huaxia side starts to wave Xiling in the future, and it will be too late to negotiate.
For the Red Lady's side, it was originally an established strategy to win over Grandma Jin, after all, even if Bashu was captured, and then, the war with the barbarian army was imminent, and Xiling was full of poisonous miasma, difficult mountains and dangerous roads, and it was time-consuming and labor-intensive to forcibly pacify, and it was difficult to really suppress it. As long as the 27 caves of the Three Desolations and Nine Ridges in Xiling can reattach themselves to Huaxia, and even become a help in the battle with the barbarian army, it is also necessary to give appropriate favors......
***
The strategy of marching into Shucheng is in full swing, although Brother Crane relies on Jiancheng, but at this moment the Chinese army is like a rainbow, if it is not limited by the factors of the season, the march is relatively slow, and it has already been killed under the city of Shucheng. And even so, at the beginning of February, Shucheng was still surrounded by two groups of people and horses, and at the same time, Ju Zhirong, who had been stationed in Bacheng, also divided his forces, and many counties within the boundaries of Bashu were almost determined.
At this time, the Golden Silkworm Ridge and the Leopard Ridge in the Nine Mountains have been announced to be submitted to the imperial court, plus the former Xiling famous general Mu Yuan, who in turn was the pioneer of the Huaxia Army, and the witch and ghost sect that has deep roots in the people of Bashu, all counties and counties, even if there are some stubborn ones, were quickly swept away
At the same time, the good princess of the north and the Momen led by her were at the most difficult critical juncture.
In the ice and snow, the grass and trees in the north have just shown some signs of recovery. The more difficult the days, the more difficult it is to pass the cold winter.
In the dim forest, with the sound of footsteps, Princess Seon was leading the last group of ink warriors who had retreated from Fukuma Valley to rush through the deep mountains of the Qiyin Mountains.
After a whole winter of continuous resistance, Fuxiong Valley was still unable to hold it after all, and was broken by the masters sent by Meng Shenjun with the wheel tactics of attacking in turns. Meng Shenjun's side, although it paid a heavy price for this, Momen's side also suffered heavy casualties.
Princess Shan certainly knew that as long as she persisted, at most one month, the Huaxia army would launch a full-scale attack on the barbarian army, and at that time, the barbarian army would have no time to take care of their side, and their situation would improve. But only this, he also knows this, no matter what, Meng Shenjun, who can't keep them in the rear to continue to destroy, is indeed a bloody investment, and they are still weak after all.
Abandoning Fuxiong Valley was already a last resort, and after successfully sending out some non-combatants, they broke out in the other direction, the purpose of which was naturally to use their importance to buy time for the retreat on the other side, but after running for a while, Princess Shan suddenly stopped, turned her head and looked around.
As she stopped, the others followed.
Princess Shan's gaze moved slowly in the forest, and the ice and snow on the ground had melted a lot, and some places had begun to draw new shoots. It hasn't rained for a few days, but the sky is unusually dark. The cold snap hadn't completely passed, and there was a bleak atmosphere around me, with hardly any animals in sight.
At this moment, there are more than sixty ink artists around Princess Shan, which is almost the last elite of Fuxiong Valley, in addition to her, among the high-level personnel, there is also the "cold-faced judge" Gu Shanyan. Although they fled into the mountains, it was inevitable that the barbarian army would intercept them everywhere.
It's just that I originally thought that at least here, I temporarily got rid of the pursuit of the barbarian elite soldiers, but the murderous aura that pounced on each other and was suppressed to the point of palpitations made Princess Shan's pink face become strangely dignified.
The flames flashed abruptly on the other side, forming a dense wall of fire, and two ink artists were instantly swept into it. Someone shouted, "Zoroastrianism." This cry was a desperate warning, but it was also the last scream.
Even though the grass and trees have long been armed, this time the battle still came by surprise. Some of the spells used by Zoroastrians, although they had seen them many times, were still difficult to guard against every time they suddenly appeared.
With a bang, the inker danced his sword and fought with the enemy who came out, and the fire and sword light waved at the same time. In the swaying figure, the fire burst out.
Gu Shanyan clenched the iron sword and was about to rush towards the direction of the enemy's most dense concentration, but there was a fire cloud surging out of thin air above his head, and an astonishing Xuan Qi erupted out. The moment he swung the sword, suddenly, the firelight burst out, and a woman rushed down from the fire cloud, holding a pair of Wu hooks in both hands. "Xiao Gu!" Gu Shanyan snorted angrily, and between the shaking of the sword body, waves of sword qi spread out, trying to force back the strong enemy.
The back half of the body seemed to turn into flames, connected with the fire clouds, Xiao Gu who hung upside down out of thin air, the moment a pair of Wu hooks opened and closed, the exploding Xuan Qi came madly again, and the raging flames continued to burst out with her every move. The attacks of the two were extremely fast, and in just a few moments, they had already exchanged dozens of times, and the sword light of Gushan Yan, who was unwilling to fight for a long time, flashed, and the sword technique of the dust mountain burst out, and the sword qi was like a mountain, but it went down from a high place to Xiaogu Town.
The vigorous sword qi surged like a mountain and a sea, Xiao Gu drilled back, and the moment he drilled into the fire cloud, the fire cloud shattered, and when it reappeared, it was already behind Gu Shanyan. In front of him was a sword qi that rushed into the air, causing the explosion of Xuan Qi, Gu Shanyan turned back, the iron sword and Wu Hook continued to collide, clanging, the figures of the two changed from time to time, constantly changing positions, although Xiao Gu was not able to kill Gu Shanyan, Gu Shanyan was never able to get rid of her.
The battle spread like a tidal wave, and the already exhausted Ink Cult fought with the Zoroastrians who had been dormant for a long time. The remnants of snow on the branches were shaken away, shattered in the air, or evaporated by the sudden light of the fire, and the trees caught fire in the whirring wind, and smoke rolled up in the darkness.
From a distance, the swaying figures in the forest, the soaring blade light, and the cold air surging outward with the blazing battle, some roared like tigers, and some figures fell.
With the treacherous battlefield as the background, the eyes of the good princess were looking farther away, and a woman, carrying a golden sword, was cold and gloomy, stepping towards her.
This woman, the good princess had never seen before, but at the first sight of her, the good princess already knew that this woman was the "evil goddess" of Zoroastrianism.
That time, when she saw Ah Cai's companion named Ah Feng, Princess Shan knew that Ah Feng was the goddess of evil, and later Ning Jiang sent a message through a secret channel, saying that the fairy Ciyue of Ci Xinzhai should be the goddess of evil.
This woman is neither Ah Feng nor Ciyue Fairy, but the good princess can also determine through mysterious induction that she is the "evil goddess".
Why did such a strange thing happen, the good princess didn't want to ask at this time, her eyes were all on the golden sword carried by this evil goddess.
In front of her, the evil goddess coldly raised her golden sword and swung it out.
The heavens and the earth changed color, the universe was broken, and the irresistible frenzy rolled up layers of flesh and blood......
***
After entering February, the spring flowers in Jiangnan soon bloomed, and there was basically no ice and snow in sight.
The Southern Sword and Water Division, led by Daomen, has begun to harass the barbarian army on the north bank of the Yangtze River and the far east of the sea, and the war to restore the Central Plains in the north is already in full swing.
In Lin'an City, thousands of miles of intensified battle reports flew from the west, and Ningjiang almost immediately received the news that Shucheng had fallen, and Brother Lu was besieged and killed on the spot by a large number of martial arts people specially prepared to kill him, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Brother Lu will not die, once he escapes back to Xiling, after all, it is a factor that may leave future troubles and variables, and it will also be unfavorable to the next control of Xiling and Bashu by the Huaxia side, which will have some adverse effects on the next war.
The war to capture Shucheng, although sinister, but in fact, is not so unexpected, the Miao army has mastered the means of refining cement in the south recently, but the mastery of firearms, not to mention compared with the south at this moment, is even inferior to the barbarian army, there is a barbarian army in the god book of the sect, for the formula of gunpowder and the production of firearms, has also been quickly mastered, although because the accuracy of steel is not enough, it is not possible to make artillery, but some chariots that launch firearms have also begun to popularize, and even appeared, although they can only fire live ammunition, But the bronze cannon is not bad.
And in terms of Miao Jun, Brother Ran's trust in Ming Wu Zhu Master is not as good as that of the Divine Book Sect after all, not to mention that Ming Wu Zhu Master is good at witchcraft, these aspects are not his strengths.
The continuous rain in the first month of the first month made a lot of time wasted on the way to the march, even if the rear gave a lot of support, after all, it could only follow the steps of the entire strategy, and captured Shu City in time and killed Brother Ran.
Anyway, the first step ...... Perhaps the most critical step has finally been achieved, and these days, Ning Jiang, who is actually quite nervous, is also somewhat relieved.
Soon, this battle report spread all over Lin'an City, and the government and the opposition were full of enthusiasm. Last year, when a large area of land in the north fell and the south was in danger, Cixue was popular everywhere, and everyone was longing for peace, and now, when they began to realize that we could also fight, almost everyone was talking about war, and even those Confucians who were still studying Cixue in the past year were also excited at the moment, eager to exchange the books in their hands for swords, and follow them into battle to kill the enemy, and the so-called peace talks have all become jokes.
However, in the excitement of the entire south, the young people in the prime minister's mansion were instantly heavy because of a news from the north.
The news was vague, and there were many things that he couldn't be sure of, but it made his heart clench.
It's just that although he has uneasiness and worry in his heart, he can't do anything except ask people in the north to help him continue to inquire through some networks. It was something north of the Huang River, and even if he wanted to do something, he couldn't help.
The three girls in the house also felt his mood.
The battle report of recovering Bashu made them excited, but it didn't take long for their men to ...... The man who would always take the time to bully them in his own way these days suddenly became silent.
They don't know exactly what happened.
That night, when it was already dark, they came to the study, and saw that he was not in the room, but alone, standing under the eaves outside, looking up at the moon in the night sky.
Some of the willow trees in the garden have begun to sprout, but it is still very cold at night. The moonlight sprinkled down, as clear as water, like silver frost covering the rockery in the garden, so that the night scene in the distance is like a layer of reflective silver stickers.
Baotong, Red Butterfly, and Huangfu Lu glanced at each other, and the three of them stepped forward together: "Brother Ning? ”
The young man turned his head to look at them. Huangfu Lu was straightforward and asked, "Brother Ning, what's wrong with you?" ”
The young man smiled, sat down sideways on the stone railing, and held out his hand to them. The Imperial Heron was on his left, and the Red Butterfly was leaning on his right. Baotong, wearing a goose-yellow exquisite undershirt with gold trim and colorful silk hanging on his back, stood in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Brother Ning, has something happened?" You look very unhappy. ”
"Nothing, just worrying about one person." The youth said.
looked at the little heron on the left, and then at the red butterfly on the right, speaking of which, the two of them, one is the child of her sixth sister, the other is the daughter of her imperial brother, and the two cousins all look a little similar to her.
Wish...... She's going to be fine......
