When a team of more than 200 people led by Shifting Greedy Khan rushed over, they accidentally ran into Qiu Shenji.

Qiu Shenji was ordered to evacuate the people of Fangshi on both sides of the river, and with a reluctant face, he led his subordinate Jinwu guards to the east.

"Shifting the force and greedy Khan, you and other Turks dare to make trouble?" Qiu Shenji, as the general of Jin Wuwei, knew about the Turkic mission that had attracted a lot of attention in recent days, and he had already heard of the grandmaster-level master of the Great Chieftain Shifting Greed Khan, and he didn't know who it was when he saw that the other party was dressed in Turkic clothes and exuded the bearing of a grandmaster.

"Kill," Shifting Greedy Khan didn't know the identity of Qiu Shenji, but it didn't prevent him from recognizing Qiu Shenji as a grandmaster-level master, and with a wave of his hand, the Turkic warriors behind him and the warriors under the command of the snake spirit rushed forward and killed those Jinwu guards.

"Looking for death," Qiu Shenji snorted coldly, as soon as his body moved, the blood shadow flashed in front of the Shifting Greedy Sweat, and with a palm print, the scorching palm wind turned a radius into a furnace, stimulating the blood and qi in the human body to steam.

"I've met a strong enemy," said Shifting Greed.

Every Seven-Rank Grandmaster is a martial arts giant, and he has reached a considerable height in a certain aspect, and he is not something that can be easily dismissed.

Shifting Greedy Khan shook the steel spear, and the shadow of the spear flew and stabbed towards Qiu Shenji.

The samurai under the command of the two also fought together, and for a time they raised their swords and guns together, killing blood all over the ground.

The appearance of Fazang and Shicha Nanda upset the balance between the masters on the field. Originally, there were few grandmaster-level masters on the imperial court's side, and the middle strength was strong, relying on the advantage of numbers to resist the attack of the snake spirit side. Although Li Duozuo, Cheng Chubi and others are not sixth-grade or seventh-grade grandmasters, they are all battle-hardened fifth-grade masters, skilled in martial arts, and there are many subordinates around them, so they can barely block the snake spirit side. But the imperial court added two more grandmasters, which suddenly reversed the balance of strength, and in terms of masters, they had an advantage in terms of numbers, and they killed the snake spirit and retreated.

Seeing off the shifting force greedy sweat and others, the Tsing Yi people commanded the fleet to quickly sail into Luoshui and go to the altar at the Tianjin Bridge upstream.

"Withdraw," Li Ruoxue forced Quan Xiancheng to retreat with a few swords, and the afterglow in her eyes swept across the battlefield, knowing that the general trend of her side had gone, and she could not break through the defense line of the imperial court at all, and if she continued to entangle, there would be more and more troops supported by the imperial court, and it would be difficult to even leave.

At this time, the Tsing Yi people approached at the right time with the fleet, ready to meet the retreat of everyone.

Lin Qianyue repelled Yang Jingchen with several punches, and reluctantly beckoned his subordinates to step back.

With Li Ruoxue, Lin Qianyue and several other grandmasters breaking off, covering the snake spirit and the others to retreat and board the boat, the court side was also powerless to catch up, and watched the snake spirit withdraw to the boat, go down the river, and go away.

Standing on a high place, hiding under the protection of the soldiers, the hundred officials of the court, looking at the dirty ground after the flood, the bloody battlefield left by the soldiers and the snake spirit warriors fighting each other, many people were pale, and they were so frightened that they vomited.

Wu Zetian stood in the distance, observing the movements of the battlefield while observing the performance of the civilian officials. Those who were calm in the face of danger, those who were panicked, those who were so prestigious, all fell into her eyes. Only those who can really be calm and calm can be entrusted with heavy responsibilities and govern the country, and those who are as timid as mice cannot be placed in a high position.

For Wu Zetian, power is a means to achieve her dreams, not the only end, and she wants to be an empress who uses power well, not a tyrant who is enslaved by power.

Outside the imperial city, when the imperial court guards fought fiercely against the snake spirit against the party, the flood overflowed the embankment and washed away the houses along the river on both sides of the Luoshui River below the Tianjin Bridge.

Luoyang is high in the north and low in the south, and the north Zhufang is less affected, and some houses near Luoshui are flooded. In the south, Jishanfang, Huixunfang, and Daoshu Fang were much more miserable, hundreds of houses were washed away, thousands of people were swept away by the flood, and the losses of people were very heavy.

After the snake spirit rebelled and the others retreated, the civil and military officials gathered together tremblingly, led by Wei Xuantong, and came to Wu Zetian to listen to the disposal.

"The snake spirit rebelled against the party and went crazy, attacked the imperial court officials, and even broke the dam, so that the people along the river were affected, and the crime was unforgivable, but fortunately, the soldiers of the forbidden army fought bravely to kill the enemy and protect the hundred officials from poison, and each soldier was rewarded with ten horses of silk and ten pieces of money." Wu Zetian said loudly.

The surviving soldiers cheered loudly and shouted long live.

Then Wu Zetian appeased the officials, ordered the remaining soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and it took half an hour to finish the matter and drive back to the palace.

"Qiu Shenji has made a great contribution in repelling the Turkic attack, and it seems that I have rewarded him heavily?" Wu Zetian said sarcastically.

She sent Qiu Shenji to the downstream Zhufang to evacuate the people, but she didn't let him go into battle to fight. Wu Zetian did not deliberately exclude Qiu Shenji and prevent him from making meritorious contributions. Jin Wuwei has the responsibility of guarding Zhufang, and is the one who has the deepest relationship with Zhufang among the twelve guards of the forbidden army, and the Li Zheng of each fang, Fang Ding is very familiar with Jin Wuwei who patrols the streets, and sends Jin Wuwei to evacuate the crowd, the effect is the best, this is the intention of Wu Zetian to send Qiu Shenji to deal with this matter, but I didn't expect Qiu Shenji to take this order seriously at all.

In Qiu Shenji's eyes, ordinary people are no different from cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, they are only worthy of working for the government and the powerful, and it doesn't matter how much they die.

"The people in the demon gate are excessively selfish and ruthless, no wonder they have never been able to get on the stage of power, and they are not liked by the masters." Wu Zetian said in his heart.

Since the success of cultivating the "Dao Heart Demon Cultivation **", Wu Zetian has stepped out of the restrictions of the traditional ruthless heart method of the Demon Gate and stepped into a new realm. Later, she studied Buddhism intensively, so that her spiritual cultivation has been refined, and she has broken through to the realm of eight grades, if it were not for the many political affairs, which involved her energy, Wu Zetian had great hope of catching up with her master's footsteps and being promoted to the ninth grade grand master.

When Wu Zetian gave an order to Qiu Shenji, Shangguan Wan'er stood beside him. At this time, she didn't dare to interject, "It seems that Her Majesty the Holy Mother Divine Emperor's patience with Qiu Shenji is becoming more and more limited, and I have to avoid this person in the future." ”

"Order Wei Xuantong to inspect Zhufang and calm people's hearts, Luoyang ordered Wei Yuanzhong to assist in opening a warehouse and releasing grain, so that none of the victims starved to death, otherwise only the two of them asked," Wu Zetian instructed, "Order Li Duozuo, the general of Yulin, to immediately send people to chase down the snake spirit and his party along the river, and then go to ask the Turkic envoy Mohe Dagan, what Turkic envoys attacked and killed our janissaries, trying to rebel?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er was busy picking up a pen next to her and quickly wrote it down, and after a little polish and asked Wu Zetian to take a look at it, she stamped the seal and passed the decree to be implemented.

"Failure!" Lin Qianyue said with a little frustration.

The plan was a complete failure. It spent so much manpower and material resources to create a flood, and invited the Tibetan and Turkic ethnic groups to send hundreds of elites, but only hundreds of houses were destroyed and hundreds of ordinary soldiers were killed, and none of the court officials were lost, and the original goal was not completed.

The problem is not only the loss of a large amount of gold silk, but also the elite of the Tibetan and Turkic tribes who were buried on the battlefield this time.

On the ship, Duodan and the two of them were not badly injured, and they looked at Li Ruoxue and Lin Qianyue with a pale face, and the warriors of their own clan who followed the two to Middle-earth died cleanly, how could they not be angry.

"Miss Li, Mr. Lin, how are the two of you going to explain to my master?" "It's okay if we get the results, but now we haven't been able to cause any damage to the Tang Dynasty, and our people are all dead." ”

"The general will inevitably die before the battle, there are immortal people in the war, and the number of people who die in our snake spirit is no less than you, as for the explanation, let Lord Mo Si come to Middle Earth to ask for the guilt!" Li Ruoxue said coldly.

"You," Shifting Greed Khan frowned, "It's the snake spirit who needs the Turkic help to restore Li Tang's country, not the other way around, what does Miss Li mean?" ”

"You don't have to threaten me, we actually understand the truth that the Turks need snake spirits or snake spirits need Turks, but they are just using each other, if the Turks are willing to give up invading Middle-earth, we snake spirits will not force you to come." Li Ruoxue said.

Li Ruoxue's arrogant words made it impossible for Shifting Greedy Khan to respond.

In fact, the two tribes sent people to Middle-earth, and it was expected that it would be difficult for these people to return, and the provocation of the Shifting Greedy Khan was just to obtain some other benefits from the snake spirit.

Duodan was speechless, Tubo had just defeated the Tang army of Anxi Duhufu, and this time he sent people to stir up the political situation of the Tang Dynasty, and take advantage of the situation to attack Hezhou and Taozhou in Longyou Road, and occupy the gateway of these offensive passes.

While Li Rong galloped, he silently used Xuangong, and the soft water true qi slowly ran through the meridians in his body, opening up the blocked meridians and repairing the broken blood vessels.

"I didn't expect Yuan Ming to be able to block the purple-shirted lion king Li Zhaokun's seven wounds, it can really be described as a hero out of a young man, compared to me," Yuan Xingchong said while walking and facing Li Rong.

"It's just a fluke, with thought, the cooperation of Taichu and Wei Chi can repel Li Zhaokun, and I can't do it alone." Li Rong said.

"By the way, Li Zhaokun's Seven Wounds Fist is used to hurting people's internal organs, what about the injuries of Si Miao and you?" Yuan Xingchong then asked.

"You can suppress it for the time being, and you have to recuperate after you go back." Li Rong said.

"I've taken my secret medicine, but I have to go back to see my master." Yang Siqiao said with a pale face.

Yang Siqiao also fought hard with Li Zhaokun, and the injury was not light, and immediately after the injury, he took out the secret pill made by the Heavenly Absolute Sect and ate it, alleviating the injury, and waited to go back to see Yang Jingchen to heal. His realm is not high, and the Seven Injuries Fist is even more harmful to him.

Of course, the punch Li Rong received was not light, but it was due to the characteristics of the soft water true qi, which made it easier to recover.

Yuan Xingchong didn't say anything more and walked forward.
