Chapter 20: The Southwest is in turmoil, and the black cat is weird

The ghost military division of unknown origin assisted the red lady to set up a mysterious formation in the ghost god cave, broke the officers and soldiers, killed tens of thousands of enemies, killed the Confucian general Li Ruodu, and shook the southwest road, taking this opportunity to further spread the chaos on the southwest road, and the eight Xuanfu Division was besieged by the righteous army from all sides, although there were Confucian generals sitting in the town, and finally because of the loss of one or the other, the eight Xuanfu Division was broken, and more than 100,000 officers and soldiers died or surrendered.

Receiving such news, Ning Jiang was quite stunned...... Bai Zijin has been found by the red lady?

Although he knew that this was actually a matter of time or time, there were some origins between these two people that he didn't know, but Bai Zijin was fooling around with the red lady so quickly, which was still beyond his expectations. After thinking about it, he took out the map of the southwest road and looked at it carefully.

The Eight Xuanfu Division was broken, which means that including the Red Lady, those rebels can take Longyan Lake, Rongzhou, Huizhou, and Wuding as the foundation, and take the large mountains and forests of Lingnan as the depth, although there is also a Pu'an Xuanfu Division in Wuding, but the Pu'an Xuanfu Envoy is actually the local Tusi who was recruited by the imperial court in the past, and the army under its jurisdiction is also mainly Shanyue.

In other words, the imperial court can no longer carry out "encirclement and suppression" of these rebels composed of a large number of rebellious people who have lost their land, and it is no longer a day's work to recover the southwest road, and the people who have lost their land on the southwest road have long lost confidence in the imperial court, especially in the process of pacifying Longyan Lake last year, there have been many cases of killing good people and risking merits, but the imperial court has always turned a blind eye. The whole situation was no longer something that could be easily controlled by the imperial court.

Ning Jiang rubbed his temples with a headache, it seems that the one who assisted the Red Lady to capture Rongzhou City at the beginning was Baizijin, without Baizijin, the Red Lady couldn't capture Rongzhou City, without Baizijin, the Red Lady couldn't kill Li Ruodu.

The righteous army from all walks of life attacked the Baban Xuanfu Division, which can be said to be a major battle that affected the entire Southwest Road, or the whole world.

In this life, Bai Zi Jin grew up faster than he imagined, of course, his father was succumbed to death for the country, and he was forced to quit during the state test, which also made him no longer have any expectations and ideas for the imperial court, he is like the wings of the red lady like a tiger, and he will surely lay a whole sky for the red lady.

Ji Liang admonished Chu Shi...... Ji Liang admonished Chu Shi......

Ning Jiang shook his head helplessly, it was such a short sentence that made the imperial court lose a Confucian general who was enough to stabilize the country, and dug up a whole piece of flesh and blood from the Great Zhou Dynasty. I have to say that history is indeed full of too many accidents, if in that state examination, the examiner who gave the question changed the question, if in the early stage of the Republic of China in another world, Peking University paid the salary of one of their librarians in a timely manner, if ...... If......

He continued to look at the map and sighed.

From a local point of view, the chaos on the southwest road is beneficial to him, but from the perspective of the overall direction, the damage to his overall strategy is extremely serious.

The chaos of the southwest road can be said to be the largest peasant uprising encountered by the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past hundred years, if it is in a world without culture, the Great Zhou Dynasty at this moment can be said to have reached the end of the dynasty, but in this Confucian world, it still cannot shake the fundamentals after all.

Despite this, such a large-scale chaos that even the entire Baban Xuanfu Division was eliminated, which was no longer a problem for the imperial court, and next, the imperial court would inevitably shift its entire focus to the pacification of the southwest, thus further creating the emptiness of the north, once the barbarians invaded on a large scale......

Baizijin, Baizijin, are you really adding difficulty to me...... He thought helplessly.

Of course, he thought so, but he actually had no way to complain about anything, after all, no matter how powerful Bai Zijin was, it was impossible for him to have the vision that he had lived for a lifetime and was ahead of his time. On the other hand, Bai Zijin dared to do this kind of thing that violated the Confucian righteousness of "monarchs, ministers, fathers, fathers and sons", I am afraid it was because of his encouragement to Bai Zijin when he was separated from Bai Zijin that day.

Alas, forget it, you can only take one step at a time......

***

At the same time, Ning Xiaomeng was strolling around the town with Chun Jianli.

Although it is only a stone town, it may be more lively than many county towns because it is located at the intersection of the east-west and north-south transportation arteries, and there are many passing merchants and travelers who exchange goods here.

The sky has begun to darken, but there are more people on the street, it is too hot during the day, everyone does not like to go out so much, but at the moment they go to the street one by one to enjoy the coolness.

Whew, at the intersection on the other side, there were performers blowing out fire, which attracted everyone's applause, and the stalls on both sides and lanterns hung along the street. Several children ran around, and the anxious woman warned them not to talk to strangers and not to run away where no one was.

Several teenagers talking on the side of the road looked at them from time to time, and when they turned their eyes to them, they were embarrassed to avoid their gaze. On the stalls with all kinds of jade pendants and jewelry that I don't know whether they are real or fake, the men behind the stalls shouted loudly, hoping that they could buy some.

Walking on the way, Ning Xiaomeng's gaze inadvertently swept towards an alley, and then stopped there and tilted his head: "Cat? ”

Chun Jianli also looked at the alley, but it was an alley two people wide, dark and dark, and it was pitch black.

She said, "Cats? "She couldn't see anything.

Ning Xiaomeng shook his head. The two men continued on their way.

They came to the end of the town, where there happened to be a stall selling sweet tea peculiar to the South, and there was nothing to do, so they sat down here and ate some.

Just then, they saw a boy of five or six years old, running out of town from the other side of the street. Chun Jianli's gaze moved with him: "This kid is a little strange. ”

Ning Xiaomeng said, "What's wrong?" ”

"His eyes are ......" At that moment, she saw that the boy's eyes were as gray as gray, hollow and dull.

Ning Xiaomeng also had some doubts: "At this time, he still ran outside the town?"

While it's not unusual for a child to run around, it's a bit unusual for a single child to run outside of town, and to have a child missing yesterday.

And at this time, there was a man's call on the other side, probably not seeing his child, and was looking everywhere.

Chun Jianli looked back and asked the owner of the stall, "Is the boy who passed by just now from your town?" ”

The boss looked at them in astonishment: "What child?"

Chun Jianli and Ning Xiaomeng glanced at each other...... He didn't see it at all?

Chun Jianli said: "Go and see?"

Ning Xiaomeng said, "Hmm!"

The two paid for the refreshments and chased them out of town.

Behind them, the boss rubbed his eyes: "Hell yes." What's going on with these two girls? It's good to say that some children have run in front of them, are they teasing him, or are they teasing him, or are they teasing him?

There can't really be ghosts, right?!

He shrunk back, suddenly feeling a little chilly.

The two girls ran out of Stone Town together, and the moonlight shone on the green grass. In front of them, the little boy was running into the woods in the distance.

They looked at each other, and if they could see the boy but ordinary people couldn't, then there was only one possibility...... Their eyes glowed with golden light.

Originally, it would have been possible for at least a grandmaster-level martial artist to do it, but for them who have the "golden spirit" in their bodies, it is no longer a difficult task. This little boy was obviously cast some kind of stealth spell, but because the soul has been cultivated to the "golden spirit", ordinary evil arts have no effect on them, which is also the reason why Chun Jianli tried to "plant holy blood" on Xiaomeng at that time, but it ended in failure.

The so-called "heart eye", the heart is the soul, is the soul, is the thought, is the thought, the eye is the window of the soul, the strength of the soul, so that their eyes are far sharper than ordinary people I don't know much, although the little boy was imposed on the stealth of the evil spell, but this evil spell is ineffective for them at the moment, which is why they can see this little boy, but the stall owner just now can not see.

And the stall owners who don't know the inside story, I'm afraid it's because they are hell.

The two men chased the little boy together, and at this moment, on the west side of the forest, a total of six people rode in the direction of the town, and suddenly one of them shouted, "It's those two stinky girls." ”

The two girls looked together, and saw that these six people were dressed in the same way as the gang of bandits who had chased them on the shore of the greasy water in the early morning, and they were obviously some of those people.

When the six bandits saw them, they were furious and rushed at them on horseback.

Chun Jianli glanced back and saw that the little boy was about to run into the forest, so she raised her bow and pointed her bow at the six people: "Little Meng, you go chase first." ”

Ning Xiaomeng said: "But ......"

"Don't worry," Chun Jianli sneered, "I can still deal with such a few people." ”

Ning Xiaomeng let out an "um", chased after the little boy, and disappeared into the forest with a sword. The tip of Chun Jianli's arrow shook from side to side, and the six bandits already knew that she was good at archery, and in that situation in the early morning, they could still be shot by her, and they didn't dare to be careless at this moment, and they scattered, approaching the girl in red in a ring.

Ning Xiaomeng chased into the forest, and the chest-length skirt kept shaking with her posture.

I don't know why, I had to catch up with the boy several times, but he somehow ran farther away. She stared ahead with wide eyes, a mysterious golden light looming in front of her star-like beauty...... Cat?

In front of the little boy, there was a little black cat at some point, and the little black cat was in front of the boy, jumping and running with great agility, and the boy chased after it as if he were sleepwalking. Suddenly, the black cat made a cry, and the cry was as sad as the cry of a baby girl, full of a strange feeling that made the scalp tingle.

The night birds flew around them in terror, fluttering, and dropping their wings all over the forest. A wild boar fled away in terror, the low bushes shaking like ghosts.

In front of the little black cat, a black vortex appeared in the space, like black water waves, rippling round and round, forming a mysterious, circular ripple. The little black cat jumped in, the little boy followed, the black ripples swayed, contracted rapidly, and before it disappeared, the girl in the autumn-colored breast-length skirt covered her forehead with her arms, half on the side of her delicate body, and bumped into it with a hard head.

The black ripples flashed again and disappeared, and among the empty trees, the birds and finches were hovering restlessly in the night sky, and after a long time, they slowly fell.

Linglong's body jumped out of the void, Ning Xiaomeng fell to the ground, around her, it was like a blood-colored, dark red hill, raised her head, the high place was gray, extremely depressing, a faint smell of blood permeated the air, and under her feet was dust like ashes, this feeling of coming to hell made her body and mind a little cold.

She subconsciously pulled out her sword, held it behind her, and walked forward step by step, the little boy who was about five or six years old had disappeared at this moment. Through the way that her brother used to teach, to adjust the rhythm of her breathing to control her thoughts and calm her mind, and to drive away the deep fear in her heart, she kept telling herself that she was a master...... She's already a master.

There was a sound of rustling around her, she raised her head suddenly, and above her, a leopard with an extremely long body turned its head abruptly on the stone peak, and a pair of golden eyes showed a blood-colored cold light. The wind rushed down her face at a great speed like a mountain.

There was a plop, and the dust flew at this moment, and the whirring wind was accompanied by the roar of a mad beast, but it was not the voice of a leopard, but the roar of a lion. Another huge body rushed madly from the shadows, claws, fangs, and ferocious pounces, followed by an instant sword dance. With a bang, the sword flower exploded in the blood-colored dim like a galaxy, and the blood water was like a splashing waterfall.

The leopard slammed into the stone peak, and the stone peak collapsed suddenly, shattering into countless gray gravel, and the leopard covered in blood rolled between the rubble, and the blood stained red.

Ning Xiaomeng's delicate body spun, and the male lion who had pounced in the air suddenly turned his head, the bloodshot beast eyes were ferocious and violent, and the moment he pounced back, everything around him was shaking. The girl's wonderful body was above the lion, and the head and feet were turned over, and the autumn-colored skirt embroidered with golden butterflies was opened in a fan-shape. The girl who is flipping on the flip has landed with her right foot first, her hair is flung back beautifully, and her left foot is diagonally.

Like a flying fairy, on the side of the two stone pillars, almost parallel to the ground, the charming body is like the wind, turning in a circle in the air, seemingly dangerous but unscathed to avoid the male lion chasing by the stepping stone, the left leg with the skirt lifted back, seemingly slow and beautiful to the extreme, in fact, it is just completed in an instant, the sword light shot out like thunder and lightning, and pierced into the lion's abdomen. Cutting, whirling and dancing, the moment the blood poured out, the girl had already floated gracefully half a foot away.

And it was at this time that a little black cat swooped down from above her, and after a "meow", like a baby crying, the cat's cry came, and its paws scratched at her eyebrows...... (To be continued.) )
